Reviews for As You Are Photography
Highly recommended photographer in Hertfordshire
An incredible experience
On the day Rachael 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!!

Meet the team
Hey, I’m Rachael. I’m a Hertfordshire wedding photographer. Photography is my creative outlet and have been all over the world on adventures with my camera, from the deserts of South America to the jungles of Asia, and I absolutely love taking pictures to tell a story.
I grew up in the Shropshire countryside, moved to the big lights of London, and met and married my husband from Essex. We now live with our daughter in Croxley Green, a beautiful village in Hertfordshire not far from St Albans.
When I’m not at weddings, our weekends are usually spent together, either exploring London or walking in the countryside near a great pub.
Weddings have it all for me and I still pinch myself that I can show up to a wedding and call it my job! I’m very proud to have trained at the UK’s leading wedding photography academy and learnt my skills from some of the country’s top wedding photographers at top wedding venues.
I love weddings of all shapes and sizes. Not one wedding is the same, and that is the magic of my job! I can't wait to hear about your day!
