LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!

WEDDING GALLERY

Welcome to my wedding gallery.
This is a small collection of weddings, from quiet, emotional moments to full dance floor chaos, this is how a wedding day actually feels.
No stiff posing. No awkward vibes. Just good photos and a good time..
My approach is mostly documentary-led, with gentle guidance where it counts.
Relaxed portraits, family photos, and the odd TikTok moment if you’re game.

If you’re planning a wedding that feels like you, your vibe, your style, fun, and a bit emotional in the best way, you’re in the right place.

So, what is Mostly Documentary-led?

…Always Real

My style isn’t one-size-fits-all, because no two couples are the same.
For a big part of the day, I’ll blend in or be shooting in the background, letting things unfold naturally and catching moments as they happen.
The laughs, the nerves, the glances you don’t even realise are happening at the time.
That’s the good stuff.
That’s what lasts, long after the tan fades.

Portraits That Don’t Take Over
And yes, family photos too.

We’ll absolutely get some lovely, relaxed portraits of the two of you, plus the family shots that matter to keep your mum happy. I try to keep it calm, organised, and quick.

Calm, Not Cringey
The aim isn’t to park you in front of a camera all day. It’s to give you photos you love, then send you straight back to your people and the party.

•No awkward posing – unless I hear “TikTok trend”. Then trust me.
•Space to actually enjoy your day
•Gentle guidance when you need it

What’s It Like Having Me at Your Wedding?

Relaxed. Supportive. Very un-awkward.
I’m there before the big day if you need me, so I’m already a familiar face when it arrives.
On the day, I’ll get there early, keeping things calm and ticking along.
I’ll step in when you need help and step back when you don’t. If things don’t go to plan, I’ve got your back, and we’ll roll with it calmly.

I’m there to take photos, yes, but also to help where I can, reassure you when it matters, and have a proper blast with you along the way.
•Mostly in the background.
•Briefly bossy for group photos.
•Always on your side.

ABOUT me

“She really captured the fun and silliness that mattered most to us.”

Sharing the love

    From the very first call, Rachael was supportive, reassuring, and genuinely caring. She was there throughout the build-up, helped keep me calm when things went wrong, and completely had our backs on the day. She organised guests confidently, adapted when timings slipped, and captured our family exactly as they are. The photos are incredible and full of emotion. We couldn’t have asked for better.

    Rachael made our wedding day even better. Even with the weather not on our side, she went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted. She captured the fun, laughter, and energy of the day perfectly, and we were obsessed with our sneak peeks.
    Thank you so much.

ONE WEDDING

You can be silly.
You can be romantic.
You can just be you.
Even if you’re camera-shy, I’ve got you!
