HERTFORDSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
PHOTOGRAPHY ALL ABOUT YOU
just as you are
HERTFORDSHIRE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, LONDON AND ALL OVER THE UK
PHOTOS YOU’LL BELIEVE IN
Hi, I’m Rachael!
I help couples feel comfortable to be themselves in front of the camera, creating
HONEST IMAGES
that feel like you – exactly as you are.
As You Are Photography is all about letting the real you shine. Be perfectly imperfect – bring the belly laughs and the windblown hair – and watch the real magic (and the best photos) show up.
BECAUSE LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, JUST AS IT IS
Hannah&Hugh
Highly recommend As You Are Photography!
Rachael was truly fantastic. She captured our day so beautifully and playfully, just as we had hoped!
Grace&Cameron
We cannot recommend Rachael enough!
She truly has a gift for capturing moments as they naturally unfold. She perfectly documented all the emotions, joy, and little details of our day in a way that felt genuine and true to us.
Chelsie&Jack
AMAZING!!! Book book book!
Wow, what can I say. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Rachael as our wedding photographer.
PHOTOGRAPHY THAT IS ABOUT
LOVE, LAUGHTER
and joy
A Relaxed Way to Photograph Your Wedding
As You Are Photography was built because I believe everyone deserves beautfiul photography that feels like them. Even if you’re camera-shy, I’ll make sure you’ll feel completely at ease – no awkward posing, no repeating things.
I want you to remember your wedding day, not having your photographs taken.
With experience across Hertfordshire and beyond – from big celebrations to quiet, intimate days – I’m here to make things simple and stress-free, so you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands. From the big moments to the quiet in-between ones, I focus on telling the full story of your day.
Your final photos are hand-edited by me to look natural, vibrant, and true to the colours of the day – so it feels exactly like you remember it.
And most importantly, I’ll make sure your photos reflect you – just as you are.

Favourite Hertfordshire Wedding Venues
One of the things I love most about being a Hertfordshire wedding photographer is how many incredible venues there are nearby, each with its own personality. Whether you’re planning a big party or something small and intimate, Hertfordshire is full of amazing backdrops for your day.
FUN IN THE COUNTRY
If you’re dreaming of rolling fields, rustic barns and that relaxed rural vibe, Tewin Bury Farm in Welwyn and Lodge Farm near Hitchin are both gorgeous choices.
FESTIVAL VIBES
For couples who want a more laid-back, festival-style wedding, Vanstone Park near Hitchin is a brilliant spot for something colourful and fun.
UNIQUE AND UNFORGETTABLE
If you’re looking for something that really stands out, South Farm near Royston or The Farmhouse at Redcoats both offer something a bit different for you and your guests.
A TOUCH OF ROMANCE
For a touch of English character, Ashridge House near Berkhamsted and Chenies Manor near Chorleywood both offer countryside charm with elegant indoor spaces.
Wherever you choose to celebrate – countryside, festival, grand, or quirky – I’d love to hear all about your wedding plans – get in touch here.
