Hello I am Rachel

AMAZING TO E-MEET YOU

THINGS THAT MOVE MY LITTLE CREATIVE SOUL

The perfectly imperfect. My sweet little family. Skim flat white. Cabernet Sauvignon. Music festivals. Exploring Spotify playlists. Our riverside bush home. Beef Pho. Detailed shadows. Live music. Travelling to new places with no itinerary. Dancing with my daughter. Delicate hand painted tiles. Colourful personalities. Latino detail. The colours Gold & Burgundy. Rain. Concrete tones. Industrial vibes. Every.Single.Story.

Laura:

Rachel is brilliant! I feel so lucky that we had Rachel to capture photos of our small but very special wedding. She gave clear direction and was especially clever at gaining the attention of our cheeky and somewhat defiant toddler. I thought the rain might make it trickier but Rachel somehow made our location look even more magical! Thank you Rachel - our family will treasure these photos forever.

I have experience and knowledge from over 1000 beautiful and unique weddings, and to share my passion of it with you is certainly my joy.

Every wedding couple, story and plan is unique and I am honoured to have played an integral part of capturing heirloom imagery of wedding unions for over 1000 couples.

I cherish every couple, every story and every image.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you and seeing if we are going to start this truly magical experience together. Rach x

And so the adventure begins...

To be constantly allowed into couple stories, to learn how it developed to this stage, their personalities and wishes, is a complete thrill. To create their heirloom imagery when they are surrounded by their loved ones is the highest honour.

Every story is different, every couple and every wedding is different and I believe it’s respectfully documenting and curating the story so it is relived in all its incredible detail, forever.
