What beautiful energy, and such a good eye

We married last weekend in Hurley, Berks. Rachael was our photographer along with another (Shauna Rolfe) - so they could capture different moments between them. This was such a beautiful pairing - and they both had such a lovely, calm, friendly energy and they blended in with the wedding party so well. Rachael is so sweet - and we could see her targeting in on good locations for shots. I can not wait to see the photos - so incredibly lucky to have the tablents of both of these wonderful ladies at our wedding.

Wonderful photos from our wedding!

Rachael is a fantastic photographer, and took incredible photos of our wedding day. She was a relaxing and calming presence throughout, and captured the natural moments of us and our guests, which is exactly what we had hoped for! Her style is beautiful and captivating, and her editing of the photos shows flair for enhancing the essence of the moment as it took place. We would thoroughly recommend Rachel as your wedding (or other event) photographer! Thank you Rachael for the wonderful memories!

An incredible experience

Rachael was amazing. The communication all the way up to the day and on the day ensuring she captured every special moment was fantastic. My partner and I are not big photo people but she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed it was a brilliant experience.
On the day Rachael really good at appearing to confirm specific details or asking if we could take a moment to use the light or a specific area of our venue but the rest of the time blended with the guests ensuring we never felt recorded etc.
This was such an amazing skill as it allows her to really capture some incredible candid and relaxed moment from all of our guests that for us were so important to have !!
We could not recommend her enough!!
