About

Hey there! I’m Rachael from Rachael Phillips Photography, and I’m all about capturing the magic of your wedding day in a way that’s fun, relaxed, and totally you.
From the belly laughs to the happy tears, and yes, even those dodgy dance floor moves, I’ll be there snapping away, making sure every raw, quirky, and heartfelt moment is turned into a stunning story you’ll cherish forever.

What I Offer:

Your day, your way—that’s my vibe. Whether it’s an epic confetti toss or a sneaky little loving glance, I treat every wedding as its own special adventure. With full-day coverage options, I’m there from morning prep to late-night partying, making sure nothing is missed. Every detail gets my full attention because, let’s face it, the little things matter just as much as the big ones!

You’ll get all your final photos in a private, password-protected gallery, making it super easy to share with your nearest and dearest. And because I know you’ll be dying to see how amazing you looked, I’ll pop a little sneak peek up on my socials so you don’t have to wait too long!

Not Just Weddings:

It’s not just weddings I’m passionate about! I also love capturing those precious newborn, children, and family moments. Whether it’s tiny toes or big family giggles, I create timeless photos that you’ll love looking back on for years to come.

What an amazing day we had

Rachel's skill and professionalism throughout the whole process from start to finish off our wedding photography was sublime. The uniqueness and creativity she has used in our photos is outstanding. My wife and I were put at ease the whole day, and we couldn't thank Rachael enough. She really went above and beyond the whole day too and it was apparent how much she cares about her job. Everyone at the wedding has commented how great she was too which has been lovely to hear. I literally couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Rachael from the bottom of my heart for the incredible memories you've captured for us which will last a lifetime.

She was fabulous from the word go, nothing was to much hassle

I was lucky enough to have Rachael photograph my wedding and my lord was it incredible. From the second she introduced herself to me on the day she immediately had me at ease. We found out on the day that we couldn’t use a certain part of our venue for photos as it was already being used. So before I know it Rachael had gone off and found some lovely areas a short drive away and took us there. Rachael fit in with every member of the wedding party and was constantly coming up with ideas and positions. Oh and onto it off…she had a drone!!!

Couldn't ask for a better photographer on our wedding day!

Couldn't ask for a better photographer on our wedding day!
Rachael couldn't have put us more at ease, from the planning/prep all the way to the last photo taken on the day. She went above and beyond for us, including pulling out a paper fan after noticing the heat in the bridal room for me. Felt more like having a friend taking photos rather than a serious photo shoot. After seeing just a few sneak peek photos from our wedding yesterday, we're already over the moon with how amazing the photos are!
I cannot recommend Rachael more! All of our guests and Bridesmaids were singing Rachael's praises throughout. She really helped make our day extra special xxx

to put it simply, she was nothing short of brilliant

We were incredibly fortunate to have Rachael as our wedding photographer, and to put it simply, she was nothing short of brilliant. From the outset, Rachael's dedication and attention to detail were evident, as she made it clear that no request was too much trouble. She went above and beyond to ensure that every moment, every emotion, and every detail of our special day was captured beautifully.

What truly impressed us was Rachael's ability to capture moments that we weren't even aware of ourselves. It was like reliving the day through her lens, discovering the magic and joy that we may have missed amidst the whirlwind of the occasion. Her keen eye and creative approach resulted in a collection of photographs that exceeded our expectations in every way.

She managed to get some stunning photos of my niece, whic is no easy task. Rachael has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence and innocence of children, and those images are treasures that our family will cherish forever.

Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachael to anyone in need of a photographer. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft shine through in every aspect of her work. In fact, we're already looking forward to the opportunity to work with her again when we start our own family, knowing that she will undoubtedly capture the precious moments of our future children with the same skill and care.

Thank you, Rachael, for immortalising our wedding day in such a beautiful and meaningful way. You truly are a gifted photographer, and we are immensely grateful for the memories you've given us.

we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of our wedding day

We’re so grateful we found Rachael!
From start to finish, she’s been absolutely amazing. Even when I was having a little meltdown (you know, wedding planning nerves!), she was there to keep us calm and make sure everything ran smoothly. Rachael has such a lovely way of making you feel comfortable and capturing the real, genuine moments that matter most. Our photos are stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of our day. Thank you, Rachael, for making everything feel so special!

You NEED to book Rachael !!!

If you are getting married you NEED to book Rachael !!! We had the greatest pleasure of having Rachael shot our wedding and she is incredible. Not only is she creative but she is extremely friendly. There was not a moment she didn’t fail to make me laugh as well as making me cry with the beautiful sneak peek of my daughter she managed to capture. I am so thankful we were able to share the day with her and have her capture all the amazing parts. I can not wait to see all of our no doubtable amazing photos.

Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely brilliant the photos just say it all. Rachael answered any questions I had, very friendly and approachable by myself and wedding guests. Also not afraid to tell people if they need to move in or out, and clear the background to ensure all pictures are perfect. She answered all the questions about album selection, additional pages and prices and made the process so easy! I would definitely recommend for your wedding photography. I would book in early so your day does not get booked up. We had the whole day package, and do not regret a thing!

So friendly

From our first chat with Rachael, we knew we couldn't have anyone else as our photographer. She was so friendly and answered all our questions with ease. Chatting with Rachael in the lead up to the wedding was just like talking things through with a friend, all our guests commented on how lovely she was, and we both felt totally at ease with her. She made the whole process so lovely.
Thank you so much for capturing our day beautifully
