ABOUT ME

Hey!

Hi, I’m Rachael Martin – a Hertfordshire photographer capturing weddings, families, and professional portraits in a natural, relaxed, and joyful style. No awkward poses, no forced smiles – just real moments, genuine laughter, and the stories that make your day or session uniquely yours.

Whether it’s the excitement of a wedding, the warmth of a family session, or professional portraits that showcase your brand, my goal is always the same: to make you feel comfortable, enjoy the moment, and have images you’ll LOVE. I work across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, London, and beyond, and I’m happy to follow wherever your story takes me.

From local wedding venues like Bucks Railway Centre, Tewin Bury Farm, or King’s Chapel to your home, workplace, or chosen favourite outdoor spot, I aim to make every session feel easy, natural and relaxed. Whether it’s a family gathering, a professional shoot, or a special celebration, you can focus on enjoying yourselves while I capture authentic, meaningful images.

If you’re looking for a photographer in Hertfordshire who keeps things natural, fun, and stress-free – for weddings, families, or business portraits – we might be the perfect match. Let’s chat over a quick call or video call to talk about your plans – I’d love to hear your story and start planning your session.

A little about me

I’m a Hertfordshire photographer with a big love for storytelling through photos. Photography has taken me everywhere – from the deserts of South America to the jungles of Asia – but there’s nothing I love more than capturing real moments a little closer to home.

I grew up in the rolling hills of Shropshire, moved to the bright lights of London, and eventually settled here in Croxley Green, Hertfordshire (not far from lovely St Albans), with my husband and our daughter. When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll usually find us exploring London, at the gym, chasing good coffee, or finding a cosy pub.

Some fun facts

I joined a choir… but had to quit when I realised singing in the shower doesn’t quite cut it!

I may cry during your ceremomy or speeches (but I promise the photos will be beautiful!)

I’ve stuck at being a gym member for the longest stretch of my life, which comes in handy for lugging all that camera gear around.

I love planning holidays just a little more than actually going on them.

I used to be a teacher (which means your kids won’t phase me one bit!)

I have an uncanny ability to find the best coffee (or cake) wherever I go!
