One of the most important elements of all photography is the relationship between the subject and the photographer. I truly believe that if the photographer injects a little humour and fun whilst demonstrating the skills required to achieve your desires the outcome will always exceed expectations. So you may want to know a little bit about who I am and why you should want to trust and work with me.

So here goes, my name is Daryl John Ridgley, I am qualified in Art & Photography from Aylesbury College. I am a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers and a British Professional Photographers Associate. I am also a member of the 'Federation of Small Businesses'. That's the boring bit!

I live in a small village called Chinnor in South Oxfordshire, and as such, I am centrally located for all areas in the south. Distance has never been a barrier. I have a young daughter, Caithlynn Genna, who seems to enjoy being photographed and is a great test for new ideas and a young Son, Aaron who is getting used to Daddy’s camera!. They may even be great photographers themselves one day.

So a little bit about how I work. I am now exclusively digital and always carry at least two camera's in case of a failure. I use Fujifilm and Nikon camera's. I find that Digital Imaging and continual development of new software products gives me complete flexibility and allows me to deliver what my clients are looking for.

I always work in a style that is dictated by you, but I will always offer advice and guidance if needed to help achieve the end game. My style is a mix of informal and traditional, and I rely very much on good planning allowing the shoot to be as relaxed as possible.

There isn't much more to tell, I just hope I have convinced you that I am at the very least worth talking to.
