We are so in love with our photos and our beautiful wedding album and we would wholeheartedly recommend having Rachael as a photographer!!

We wholeheartedly would recommend Rachael as a wedding photographer! Rachael put us at ease from the very first mail exchange to our engagement shoot to the wedding day itself. Rachael slotted into our day and managed to capture so many amazing memories for us which was no easy job considering we had different locations, lots of guests of mixed nationalities and moving parts on our big day! Our photos are warm and colourful and thanks to the many tips from Rachael they were more than we could have asked for and we did not feel like we were "standing taking pictures all day". We are so in love with our photos and our beautiful wedding album and we would definitely recommend having Rachael as a photographer and choosing a wedding album, it is something we really cherish!

Rachael is a DREAM!!!

I simply cannot recommend Rachael enough.
From start to finish she has been incredible - from our initial meeting with her 3 years ago right through to our pre-wedding photoshoot in April and then our wedding at Rudding Park in May.
She is professional, enthusiastic, organised and takes great care in her work.
We are overwhelmed by the fantastic standard of our wedding photos and can’t chose between them for wedding albums and larger prints now!
All of our wedding guests commented on how professional she was on our special day and how well she blended in and did not distract from proceedings.
I’d recommend her to everyone if I could.
Thank you so much Rachael!

The photos are even more amazing than we ever dreamed of

From the moment I had a zoom call with Rachael after viewing her incredible work, we knew we’d love her to photograph our wedding as she loved dogs as much as we did! She takes her time getting to know couples and their personalities, what they like and don’t like but also encourages them to try new styles just to keep it fun and make you feel relaxed and just enjoy it! The moment we got our wedding photos back, I was an emotional wreck! We are absolutely in LOVE with them! For a couple who are so self-conscious and avoid photos at all costs, we were so worried about having our wedding photos done, but she made us both feel completely at ease and even boosted our confidence from our engagement shoot! We are over the moon with the amount of photos that we absolutely adore and cannot wait to frame! We honestly cannot thank her enough for her time, effort and her amazing photography skills. We absolutely love how colourful they are and the amount of emotion in the photos she managed to capture from tears in the speeches and in the vows to laughter throughout the whole day. It’s so lovely to see how much everyone enjoyed the day and see the moments we didn’t manage to see. Her attention to detail and the way she capture little details are incredibly clever and creative. The first look moments with my bridesmaids and dad are some of many favourites, and of course we love ALL photos of Freddie! (The star of the show said by nearly every guest 🤣). We are incredibly happy and so grateful she was able to capture our day. The photos are even more amazing than we ever dreamed of, and we can’t wait to show our children when they grow up- which will be soon as we’re expecting our first baby in April! 💕 (pending newborn shots to be planned!) Thanks ever so much Rachael x

Perfect photographer for the perfect day

Rachael is a vibrant and happy person who captures your special day in such a unique, vibrant and happy way. The formal photos were all perfectly taken reflecting such a perfect day before injecting fun and humour into the not so formal photos! We knew that we wanted our dogs and my horse as a part of our special day and Rachael actively encouraged this, not forgetting of course my husband's tractor being a big feature!! Rachael seemed to be absolutely everywhere capturing the day so perfectly yet was also blending in so seamlessly that you didn't realise she was there. I honestly cannot recommend Rachael enough for being the perfect photographer for the perfect day.

Rachael was nothing but fabulous! You have to book her for your wedding!

We had the most memorable experience with Rachael who photographed our wedding in May 2022. From the start of our journey with Racheal at the engagement shoot until the end of the wedding she was nothing but fabulous.
She captured every little beautiful detail of our day and the personalities of our guests. She was also so great with our children and including them in every way possible and boosting their confidence.
We loved every single one of our photographs, they are perfect.
Rachael is extremely kind, caring and has such a sweet happy aura about her. She was lovely to be around and a great addition to our day. I could not say one bad word about her - Highly recommend.
Thank you so much again!

Rachael is amazing and we would recommend her to anyone!! 5*****

Prior to the wedding, we had our engagement shoot and Rachael made us both feel at ease straight away and is very knowledgeable with what will look good and offered advice on extras to use in photos (we wanted to use coloured smoke grenades at our wedding). We loved the photos from the engagement but have just received our wedding photos and they are even better than what we could have imagined! Rachael is such a lovely a person and is fantastic at her job. After looking through the photos, we can’t believe how many she captured, from a range of angles whilst seamlessly blending into the crowd. We would definitely recommend Rachael to anyone, she’s amazing!

Rachael captured our wedding day so perfectly!

Rachael captured our wedding day so perfectly from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable which is down to her easy going personality. I feel her approach created more natural pictures due to this. Rachael made sure everything we asked for was catered for and went above and beyond in ensuring all those special moments were captured. I would highly recommend her as she really did exceed our expectations

Rachael is an amazing photographer; our wedding photographs are truly, truly gorgeous!!!!

Rachael is an amazing photographer; our wedding photographs are truly, truly gorgeous!!!!
Rachael was very professional and was so easy to get on with. I describe her as a 'photo fairy' as she was darting around in the background getting all the shots without been seen as well as capturing the requested formal shots with ease. She has a great eye for detail and certainly captured our day/story well. Rachael has produced some fantastic photos and it's going to be so hard to choose some for an album.
You will not be disappointed choosing Rachael as your photographer for whatever occasion, she deserves all the work and credit that she gets! We received a first class service all the way and I can't recommend her highly enough, in fact, I can't stop recommending her!!!!
