What beautiful energy, and such a good eye

We married last weekend in Hurley, Berks. Rachael was our photographer along with another (Shauna Rolfe) - so they could capture different moments between them. This was such a beautiful pairing - and they both had such a lovely, calm, friendly energy and they blended in with the wedding party so well. Rachael is so sweet - and we could see her targeting in on good locations for shots. I can not wait to see the photos - so incredibly lucky to have the tablents of both of these wonderful ladies at our wedding.

Wonderful photos from our wedding!

Rachael is a fantastic photographer, and took incredible photos of our wedding day. She was a relaxing and calming presence throughout, and captured the natural moments of us and our guests, which is exactly what we had hoped for! Her style is beautiful and captivating, and her editing of the photos shows flair for enhancing the essence of the moment as it took place. We would thoroughly recommend Rachel as your wedding (or other event) photographer! Thank you Rachael for the wonderful memories!

Brilliant!

Rachael was truly fantastic, she did everything we asked for and more! Working with her was smooth and seamless; she was flexible and creative and really listened to what we wanted. When the photos came through, it was so delightful to see how much she had personalised it all! She captured our special memories so beautifully and playfully, just as we had hoped! Highly recommend As You Are Photography! Thank you Rachael! Hannah and Hugh
