Hello, my name is Richard Skins and I’m a destination wedding photographer based in Dorset covering weddings throughout the UK and Europe. If I turn the clock back 10 years this is something I never thought I would be doing but I’m glad life has taken me in this direction as I believe it’s the best job in the world, well for me anyway. I feel extremely lucky to have a career which allows me to pursue my love of photography, and use it to capture one of the happiest days two people can share!
I’ve lived in Bournemouth on the south coast of the UK for around 7 years, it’s a beautiful place of the world and I’m lucky to call it home. I’m an animal lover and if you ever come round my house for a cuppa you will meet my two cats named Milo & Ali, one day I will have a dog as well! But I have said this for a while so I must make it so…
So why do I enjoy photographing weddings I hear you ask? Well I’ve always enjoyed people watching, not in some weird way but just like when you’re sat at a train station wasting time or when you’re at the arrival area of an airport waiting for family and you see all the other people nervously waiting and then showing delight and love as they see the person walk through the gate; weddings are very similar and I’m lucky enough to document the things I see.
