WELCOME

Hey there, lovely couples-to-be!
Rachael here, your go-to wedding photographer based in Mansfield, Nottingham. But hey, don’t worry if you’re tying the knot elsewhere in Nottingham, Derby, or anywhere in the East Midlands – I’m always up for an adventure and ready to capture your special day wherever it takes us!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

You know that feeling when a camera is aimed at you, and you’re like, “Umm, what do I do with my hands?” Trust me, we’ve all been there! But don’t fret, I’ve got you covered! My superpower is making you feel at ease and relaxed as if you’re just hanging out with an old friend.
No awkward poses or forced smiles – just pure, unadulterated joy captured in its most natural form!

It goes without saying

you will put an enormous amount of time and effort into creating your perfect wedding day, and it’s important for me that your wedding photographs are a true reflection of every part of your day, even down to all of those little details that you’ve spent months planning.

When you look back at your wedding day, the cake will have been eaten, the confetti lost in the wind, and the dress put away in a box. But your wedding photographs will forever remind you of every moment you shared on your special day.

So… You have a date, you’ve ticked off the venue, and now you’re on the hunt for that perfect wedding photographer that you can gel with. Trust me, I know there are more photographers in Nottingham and Derby than grains of sand on a beach – but you found me, and that’s a fantastic first step. High five for that! ✋

Let’s dive into my photography style – it’s all about having fun, enjoying your day, being relaxed, and oh-so-creative!
Think of me as your wedding ninja, blending into the scene, capturing those heart-skipping candid moments, and yes, I mostly wear black.

I’m here to seize all the glorious details – from “I do’s” to tiny tears of joy, these snaps will be your cherished memories. I thrive on capturing those authentic, candid moments that make you go “aww” or burst into laughter later. Of course, we’ll throw in a few formal group shots to make Grandma smile, but who says we can’t have a blast along the way?

Speaking of fun, get ready for epic shots with your fantastic bridal party! We’ll share jokes, and smiles, and create memories you’ll treasure forever. And for those dreamy portraits, fear not – I’ll be there, guiding you like the stars of your own fairytale.

Here’s a little secret: I’m not just about snapping pics but about forging connections. Your love story matters to me, so I love getting to know you better if I can. We’ll build a bond that feels like we’ve been friends forever, making your big day even more special. After all, capturing your love and joy is what sets my heart aflutter too!

My goal is to create images that are as unique as you are, with a touch of creativity and a dash of personality. Your wedding day is all about celebrating your love story, and I’m here to make sure every precious moment is beautifully preserved.

Because let’s be honest, a wedding is a rollercoaster of emotions – excitement, nerves, relief, and overwhelming joy – all bundled up into one unforgettable day. But fear not, I’ll be your trusty photographer, capturing it all.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER

Memories of your special day can fade over time, but my passion for wedding photography can help keep those memories alive. As your photographer, I’m committed to capturing all the special moments of your big day and creating a beautiful wedding album that tells your love story.

I carefully select the best photos from the many that I take, digitally perfecting each to a high standard. I want every photo to be a work of art that you’ll be proud to display and share.

While you enjoy your honeymoon, I’ll be putting the finishing touches on your entire gallery, which usually takes 3-6 weeks. We can then discuss creating a bespoke wedding album that reflects your unique love story.

Let’s work together to create stunning photos that capture the essence of your love. Contact me today to discuss your wedding photography needs.

READY TO BOOK?

CAN I SEE SOME OF YOUR PREVIOUS WORK?

Absolutely! A selection of my wedding Photographs is available to view here on my website.
I also post regularly on my Facebook and Instagram. I have a few sample Folio wedding albums if you want to view my work in person. Please let me know, and we can arrange a meeting.

WHAT IF IT RAINS ON OUR WEDDING DAY?

Don’t be too scared of the rain as it can make for beautiful photos.
Typically, I would hope that there will be a break in the rain at some stage of the day, so if an opportunity presents itself, I may get you outside for a few quick photos. Unless, of course, you don’t mind getting wet, as in that case we just carry on taking photographs as normal!
If it’s throwing it down outside, we can find a nice place to light up inside and take any formal portraits you require there instead.

DO YOU HAVE ANY REVIEWS WE CAN READ?
