We hired Rachael as our photographer for our wedding day. Rachael was amazing throughout the whole process. Early on, Rachael got in contact to schedule a video call to get to know us and discuss through details. This felt very personal and it was lovely to put a face to a name. Rachael was very experienced and helped make suggestions and advice about how to organise our day (particularly timings). We felt very supported by Rachael throughout the wedding planning process.

On the day, Rachael was a warm, friendly and calming influence. She captured so many natural, candid moments which produced photos we will treasure forever. Rachael helped guide us through the day and meet the timings on our timeline which was greatly appreciated.

We received our preview photos within a week and the full gallery in a month. There was an abundance of really beautiful and special photos, which is making it very hard to choose which ones we want on our wall!

Rachael has a great working relationship also with Carla from Nozzy Films who was our videographer. These two together were a dream team!

We would highly recommend Rachael As You Are Photography for any event 🙂

Rachael was truly fantastic, she did everything we asked for and more! Working with her was smooth and seamless; she was flexible and creative and really listened to what we wanted. When the photos came through, it was so delightful to see how much she had personalised it all! She captured our special memories so beautifully and playfully, just as we had hoped! Highly recommend As You Are Photography! Thank you Rachael!

My wife and I chose Rachael to be our photographer for our wedding and we don’t regret our decision in the least. After many hours of looking at the work of local photographers online, we fell in love with her style of photography.

She stayed in contact with us in the lead up to the wedding, made sure she knew exactly what shots we wanted and even visited the venue to scout it out beforehand- so she had brilliant ideas of shots to supplement our own!

When the big day came, she couldn’t have been more wonderful. She was unobtrusive and supportive, putting both of us at ease, fading into the background and capturing brilliant candid photos of all the guests!

The gallery we got is simply amazing- beautiful photos expertly edited, we will always treasure the photos she took for us and I can honestly recommend her in the strongest possible terms to anyone looking for a photographer.

We used Carla from NozzyFilms as our Videographer because both Rachael and Carla work closely together and they were an amazing team! If you don’t at least consider having them both there for your big day, you’re missing out!

AMAZING!!! Book book book! Wow what can I say. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Rachael as our wedding photographer. From the very start, she was amazing – so professional yet incredibly easy to chat to, which instantly put us at ease. On the day, I hardly realised she was there, she blended in so naturally while still capturing all the special moments. She made both us and our guests feel completely comfortable.

We’ve already had a few teaser shots back and are absolutely blown away – they’re stunning and full of emotion. We honestly can’t wait to see the full gallery. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, we couldn’t recommend Rachael highly enough

We cannot recommend Rachael from ‘As You Are Photography’ and her wonderful assistant Shauna enough! My partner and I aren’t naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Rachael made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Her warm and friendly approach allowed us to relax and enjoy the day without feeling overly staged or posed.

Rachael 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. Her ability to blend into the background while still getting all the important shots was remarkable, and the results are absolutely stunning.

We didn’t want overly posed photos and instead hoped for a natural style that truly reflected the essence of the day. Rachael delivered this flawlessly, and we couldn’t be happier with the memories she’s created for us. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Rachael was absolutely fabulous. She captured so many brilliant moments from our day. Neither of us particularly enjoy having our photos taken but Rachael made us feel relaxed. Our guests also commented on how friendly and lovely she was. Highly recommend As You Are Photography.

Rachael is an extremely professional photographer who really listens to her clients and their vision for their wedding day. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and we couldn’t have asked for a more patient and generous photographer. We will be forever grateful to Rachael for capturing our special day so beautifully

We booked ‘The Big Screen’ package for our wedding and absolutely loved having Carla and Rachael as part of our special day. They worked seamlessly together and really complimented each other throughout the day. Both styles are exactly what we wanted- unobtrusive, natural and relaxed, but with beautiful end results.

We spoke to Carla & Rachael a couple of times in the lead up via video call, and even met them for a recce, so we felt really at ease with them before the big day. On the morning, Carla and Rachael arrived early and headed straight to our ceremony venue to capture it before people arrived which was a lovely start to the day. Late morning they arrived where the bridal party were getting ready and really helped me relax as I was feeling quite nervous, before heading over to the pub where the groom was having a quick drink before walking over so we have photos of both sides before the cermony which was a very special touch.

We didn’t want to be taken away from the ‘party’ to have lots of photos taken, and both Rachael & Carla were very good at making sure we weren’t missing out but still had lots of photos taken with just us, family photos, candid shots of us just enjoying the day without ever feeling like it was a chore! We had ‘couple photos/vids’ taken after the ceremony and during golden hour, which were perfect times to have a few moments alone that aren’t easy to come by on such a busy day- it’s easy to forget Carla & Rachael are there as they make you feel so comfortable whilst having fun. It was the perfect amount of time (around 20mins each) and we really love that we do have photos at various times of the day!

Our photographs are beautiful, and there were so many for us to look at and choose from- from getting ready, ceremony, welcome drinks, set up, wedding breakfast, right through until the band played. There were many moments Rachael caught that we didn’t see- our venue set up, guests enjoying the day, entertainment etc- and we also have lots of lovely photos we can share with our various suppliers which is great- from HMU, florists, décor, cake, magician, music, outfits.

All of our photos and videos are perfect; we are so pleased with them and would highly recommend Carla & Rachael for your wedding photography and videography needs!

Rachael was amazing. The communication all the way up to the day and on the day ensuring she captured every special moment was fantastic. My partner and I are not big photo people but she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed it was a brilliant experience.

On the day Rachael was really good at appearing to confirm specific details or asking if we could take a moment to use the light or a specific area of our venue but the rest of the time blended with the guests ensuring we never felt recorded etc.  This was such an amazing skill as it allows her to really capture some incredible candid and relaxed moment from all of our guests that for us were so important to have !!

We could not recommend her enough!!

Not only is Rachael a lovely person who we really enjoyed engaging with, the pictures she took were really special. Rachael is so warm and friendly that we enjoyed having her as part of our wedding day, and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We can’t recommend Rachael highly enough.
