Kind Words

  • Rachael is fantastic, really nice and such a talented photographer. Her and Andy recently did my wedding and they were brilliant. Made the experience really fun, no stress at all and the photos they took are beautiful. Have had lots of compliments. Would definitely recommend.
    A smiling couple in wedding attire walks down steps with guests on either side throwing confetti. The groom holds up a fist in celebration, and the bride carries a bouquet. The setting is a building with columns.

  • Wow what can I say Rachael was amazing she is passionate she is caring and most of all she is brilliant I’m not one for photos but Rachael made it fun and put me at ease (she never stops working) I couldn’t of ask for anymore because she went above and beyond all expectations I can honestly say the wedding wouldn’t of been the same without her and she made the day perfect for us.
    A bride in a white dress stands with three bridesmaids in gray dresses on a stone path. They strike playful poses, holding bouquets, with trees in the background. The mood is joyful and light-hearted.

  • 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.
    Bride in a white gown holds a bouquet and poses playfully with a man in a dark suit and red beard. They are standing in a garden with a stone wall covered in green ivy. Both look joyful and celebratory.
    David Hirst
  • 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.
    Kelli Ashworth
  • Couldn’t ask for a better photographer on our wedding day! Rachael could put us more at ease, from the planning/prep all the way to the last photo taken on the day. Felt more like having a friend taking photos rather than a serious photo shoot. After seeing just a few sneak peak photos from our wedding yesterday, we’re already over the moon with how amazing the photos are!
    Two people stand in front of a shelf filled with vintage items. One wears a formal dress and eyeglasses, holding a glass. The other wears a suit with a boutonniere, also holding a glass. They hold hands and pose together.

  • 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.
    A woman in a sleeveless lace wedding dress, seen from behind, walks towards a bar. Her dress features a layered tulle skirt. The setting has dim lighting and a cozy atmosphere. Black and white image.

  • Rachael recently photographed my friends wedding, Rachael was amazing, the photograph quality is superb, her creative vision is truly unique. Loved that some images were available to preview during the day! She was none intrusive throughout the day so managed to capture some lovely candid shots, but equally managed to direct us efficiently for the staged photos. Highly recommend.
