I’m Rachael, a wedding photographer based in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. I cover all of Yorkshire and the Peak District.  My style is editorial, authentic, and elegant. My photography is very natural; I like to take advantage of the weather and the light on the day. Combine this with my professional, friendly, and flexible approach, and I take photos that are a stylish yet true representation of the day.

Hello! A massive congratulations to you both. Exciting times ahead!

I lived and worked oversea’s for 20 years after passing my photography diploma in Moscow, Russia. I’ve lived in Hong Kong, Cambodia, and Thailand. I returned to Yorkshire, where I met my hubby and we now have a beautiful daughter and cheeky whippet. 

I’m incredibly down-to-earth. I like to think of myself as approachable and easy to get along with.  My aim is to fit in with your day, to make sure it flows and the photography fits in as seamlessly as possible. It’s about knowing when to take a step back and photograph moments as they unfold and when to step in and offer a little direction so that the day keeps its momentum and magic.  

Building connections

I put couples at the heart of everything I do.  I think it’s important to meet before you book.  You’ll want to know I’m the sort of person you would like at your side on one of the most important days of your life.  It’s also a good way for us to start to build a relationship.  I also offer couples the chance to catch up, over a cuppa, a few months before the wedding.  Finally, we’ll catch up for one last consultation, closer to the wedding.  So that, by the time the wedding arrives, we’ll know each other a little and I’ll have a good idea of who you are and what is important to you.

On the day

I’ll be working tirelessly to photograph a comprehensive collection of photos.  I’ll be there for all the important details like the ring exchange, first kiss, speeches.  But I’ll also shoot small moments that help to encapsulate the mood and emotion of the day: the light on the dress, a hug from your Grandparents, priceless fleeting moments that are captured forever.  

After care

All photographs are delivered via an online gallery, and photographs can be downloaded unlimited times.  You’ll receive an album including both black and white and colour shots.  You’ll also receive prints from your wedding day in a presentation box.  

I offer a range of packages for varying budgets.  I can also tailor a bespoke package for you, if you can’t find what you are looking for.  Luxury albums can be added at a later date.
