PHOTOGRAPHY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE PHOTOS
Hi, I’m Rachael.
I know what it’s like to overthink having your photograph taken.
That’s why I created As You Are Photography – to help people forget about the camera and simply enjoy the moment.
The best photographs happen when you stop thinking about the camera and be yourselves.
JUST AS YOU ARE
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.
FORGET ABOUT THE CAMERA
REMEMBER
the feeling
LESS ABOUT THE CAMERA. MORE ABOUT THE DAY.
Your wedding should be about the people you love, not about the photographs.
I’ll fit the photography around your day – not the other way around. I’ll help when you need a little reassurance, step back when you don’t, and leave the day to unfold naturally.
Years from now, I don’t want you to look back and remember having your photographs taken. I want your photographs to take you back to everything that you remember.
ENJOY THE MOMENT NOW. REMEMBER IT LATER.

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.
