Beautiful Storytelling Wedding Photography
Firstly, congratulations on your engagement!
Your Wedding Day will be one of the most memorable days of your lives – a celebration of the two of you, the people you love most, and the beginning of your married life together. After months of planning, it all comes together in a day filled with laughter, emotion, excitement and countless moments you’ll want to remember.
I’m Rachel, a Professional Wedding Photographer based in Surrey, photographing weddings across Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, London and beyond. For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings of all shapes and sizes, in lots of beautiful but very different venues, creating natural, timeless photography that allows my couples to relive not only how it looked, but how it felt.
Every wedding is unique, and I believe your photography should reflect that. Before your wedding day, I take the time to get to know you and to understand what you feel is important to you both — the people who matter most to you, and the moments you’ll never want to forget. From the excitement of getting ready to the energy of the dance floor, I’ll be there to capture your day as it unfolds naturally, focusing on the genuine moments, reactions and connections that make it uniquely yours.
My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you can focus on enjoying every moment. The result is a collection of beautiful storytelling images that you’ll return to time and time again, bringing back the emotions, atmosphere and memories of your wedding for many years to come.
Storytelling has always been at the heart of my photography. While beautiful individual photographs are important, I’m always looking beyond a single moment to capture the people, emotions, relationships and details that come together to tell the complete story of your wedding. Your wedding day will pass in the blink of an eye. The confetti will be thrown, the speeches will be toasted and the dancing will end. What remains are the memories, the photographs and the story of your day.
That’s why every Wedding Collection includes a bespoke Storybook Album. Once you’ve chosen the images that mean the most to you, I individually finish each photograph before personally designing your first album layout. This creates a beautiful visual narrative of your day, taking you through your memories from beginning to end. Using my experience as a Storyteller, I craft each album so that every page flows naturally into the next, allowing you to relive not only how it looked, but how it felt.
Handmade in Italy using exceptional materials and printing, these beautiful Storybook Albums are designed to become treasured family heirlooms. They are something you’ll hold in your hands, display in your home, share with family and friends, and return to time and time again. And alongside your album, you’ll receive high-quality, professionally finished digital files of your selected images, as well as a private online gallery of your wedding photographs to share with family and friends.
As every Wedding is different, my collections are tailored to your individual plans and requirements. Wedding Collections including your Storybook Album begin from £1,850 for full-day coverage across Surrey and the South East, with my Small and Intimate Collection available for couples with simpler plans starting at 3 hours coverage.
If you love natural, timeless photography and would like to chat about how I could capture your wedding day, I’d love to hear from you. The next step is simply to check availability for your date and tell me a little more about your plans. Scroll down to my form below and I'll be in touch soon!
With love,
Rachel xx
A few words from my Couples...
"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for us and our wedding! The amount of time, love and passion that goes into your work is second to none. The memories that you have captured in your photos mean the world to us and thanks to you, we can enjoy our album for the rest of our lives!"

"A photo speaks a thousand words and that’s not near enough words to do justice to just how fantastic and talented Rachel is! And If my words don’t do her the justice she deserves - trust me her photos will do!
There are some people in this world that you’re always meant to meet, that the universe sends you and she is one of them. Rachel is an absolute memory maker Goddess - we will adore her forever. She, like her work is luminous.
From our first chat to our beyond beautiful wedding album - Her advice, support and storytelling magic meant we all had the most amazing day. Everyone was so relaxed because of her and as a result I got to absolutely cherish and remember every single second and moment of the day.
Her pure joy, excitement and passion in her craft is infectious! We had so much fun and laughter and I honesty would never have had the stress free run up to the wedding or the most magical day that I had without her. She literally gets down and dirty for the best photo opportunities - and I’m talking about spending a fair amount of time laying on the floor and pavements of London!
The incredibly special moments she captured have made all of our friends and family so happy and her attention to detail and creativity means we have the most beautiful record which we will all cherish forever.
She is so much more than a photographer - I got a friend for life, a bonus bridesmaid, a new member of the family. Everyone loved her, she made everyone feel so relaxed and at ease and this truly shines through in every photo.
She is the maker and keeper of memories, of capturing all those fleeting and precious moments and documenting it in the most special and perfect way. She makes her wonderful talent look effortless and easy when it’s anything but. Without doubt the best investment for our wedding.
And - my husband who has always absolutely loathed wedding photographers with a passion and is worst than a stroppy teenager when having to have his photo taken agrees!! Now that is 100% 5 star review in itself!"

"Words can’t express how brilliant Rachel was before, during and after the wedding. Creative and passionate about her art, amazing at story telling and bringing the day to life through her photos.
I knew they would be spectacular when I saw her hiding in a bush to get those natural shots!
If you are considering Rachel, don’t hesitate. She is a fabulous human being with a huge heart and awesome talent. ❤️"

"I can honestly say that our wedding wouldn’t have been our wedding without Rachel. From the start she was so devoted to our story, who each family member was and how we wanted to capture our wedding day. We didn’t want a ton of posey pictures, and we didn’t want a really long shoot post ceremony! We wanted to drink champagne and eat canapés!! Not an easy task for a wedding photographer! She took so many beautiful pictures and had loads of ideas for different shots, but she did it all so subtly that we barely noticed her. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is - BOOK HER!"

"We hired Rachel as our Wedding Photographer having seen her incredible photographs in the gallery. We genuinely couldn’t have been happier with the results. From the first time meeting with Rachel she took the time to listen to our hopes for the day, making sure to note all those little extra bits that we’d taken such time in planning. On the day we felt completely reassured that Rachel was taking care of everything, being both unobtrusive and also in the right spot at the right moment. As an outdoor wedding, we had some challenging weather. Rachel took this in her stride, grabbing the moments of sunshine when they came but also using the changing lighting to great effect. The results are quite simply wonderful. Thank you Rachel!"
