I love everything to do with weddings, from my first contact with an excited Bride, who has so many things to plan, through to the wonderful day and follow up afterwards, designing and creating a beautiful wedding album for the Bride and Groom which we are all proud of and will hold treasured memories for the rest of their lives.
Photographing families, children and pets is a wonderful experience and I really enjoy meeting the amazing people who book me to capture a moment in time. I can arrange to meet you at a suitable location for the photo shoot and recommend somewhere which as well as being a great background for the images, also is a special place to you.
Over the years I have had the privelege of photographing so many lovely people and fascinating subjets from all walks of life. Commercial photography always allows me to use my creativity to the full and every job is different. It is worth investing in an experienced professional photographer to capture your business images as visual marketing is such a strong selling point for all business and can lead to increased sales by enhancing product appeal and attracting customers.

Rachel did my wedding make-up and my bridal party's make-up too, even managed to squeeze in doing my Grandma's make-up which I hadn't pre-booked. I didn't get time to go for a trial before our wedding due to living in Devon but Rachel was so good on the day and did our make up exactly how we asked and it lasted the whole day/night. It made me feel so good and more confident for our photos and although I went for the natural look the lipstick colour and eyeshadow she choose gave a wow factor that I just loved! Thank you Rachel :

Rachel did my hair and make-up and the photos for our "just the two of us" wedding at Storr's Hall. I was really impressed with how she took the time to personalise everything and make sure I was happy with what she was doing. She put me at ease and made everything go seamlessly. We were both really happy with the photos - the weather was bad but Rachel knew exactly what to do to take advantage of our gorgeous surroundings and produce some photos which we will treasure forever. I would recommend her services in a heartbeat - excellent personalised service and both professional and friendly.

Wow.just wow! Rachel you are amazing! I could not have been happier with my make-up and hair. You took the time to go through each step of the make-up process with me to ensure that I was happy and you really took on board what I had envisioned. You calmed my nerves massively and it was just like spending time with a friend. To top it off, the photographs are of stunning quality and you definitely captured the essence of us!
We are both so happy with them. We have also received what could possibly be the most beautiful heart shaped USB through the post today just one week after the big day. Thank you so so much for everything! Xxx

Absolutely fantastic! Hair looked exactly how I would like and the pictures were absolutely beautiful! Couldn't recommend more. Nice prompt service when sending finished pictures across and very accommodating when we had to move our wedding day a couple of times. Thank you so much for capturing our special day!

We booked Rachel for our Just Us wedding in October 2019. I did make the journey to Kendal for a hair and make up trial about a month before. It was worth the effort as it was one less thing to worry about knowing that I would like the result. Also, to have got to know Rachel a little rather than just meeting at the ceremony. I was so glad that I had my hair and make up done as Rachel knows what works with the camera.
It was also great to have someone getting you ready when you don't have any family or friends there. It was a very dark and dismal day and rained heavily the whole time so most of our photos were indoors. To be honest we weren't expecting much as there weren't any particularly good focal points in the hotel and it was too wet to spend any length of time outdoors. So we were thrilled when we saw the pictures as she had captured some great moments of our special day. I highly recommend.

Rachel provided hair, makeup & photography for our just us wedding this month. Rachel was attentive and professional from our first enquiry and throughout. When our big day arrived was able to put us at ease immediately. Was so happy with my hair and makeup it was just as imagined. Rachel captured every moment from getting ready to the 'I dos', our first dance, and all the other wonderful moments, even took the most amazing pictures outside on a very wet and moody day. We were overwhelmed and over the moon when we saw our pictures. Thank you x

Rachel was absolutely fabulous at capturing our proposal and photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Even braving the rain and cold to stand outside and wait for the perfect moment to capture my now fiance's complete surprise! The quality of the photos was second to none and Rachel went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up for the day.

Rachel took some lovely photos of me and my husband on our wedding day. She was thinking of us and organised most of the outside pictures while the weather was dry and came out with us in the rain when the boat came. My family really enjoyed talking to her throughout the day. We haven't had any pictures blown up yet for display as we can't choose which ones yet but can't wait.
