  Look no further for your wedding photographer!!

  If you have come across Rafe in your hunt for a wedding photographer, then look no further! We are over the moon with our wedding photographs and cannot stop looking at them. The quality is fantastic and he has wonderfully captured every moment of our day. He has been helpful, supportive and a great surrounding board through the COVID-19 crisis. We just managed to squeeze in a small wedding before lockdown and Rafe was fantastic with changing plans, keeping in touch and being flexible. Would definitely recommend an engagement shoot, it made us feel at ease and prepared for the wedding day. One positive about having to delay our celebrations is that we now get 2 sets of photos from Rafe!

  Phenomenally Talented Photographer And A Joy to Work With

  Rafe is incredible! If you read no further, know that he is not only a phenomenally talented photographer, but has wonderful personality and is a great addition to any wedding. As a self-conscious bride, walking around in my undergarments around any stranger is… well, terrifying. But Rafe made me, and my bevy of bridesmaids feel completely at ease.
  Now, I scoured the country looking for a photographer that would be able to document our wedding in a way that would capture not only the beauty of the day, but also the many wonderful personalities of my loved ones that would be enjoying the day with us. As an art advisor, who has bought a great deal of photography from artists around the globe, I was very critical with almost every wedding photographer that I came across. While the cliché wedding shots were charming, I was looking for something different. Rafe delivered! The only issue was that I was getting married in Liverpool, and Rafe was located in Hitchen. Not to worry though, Rafe travels! He happily journeyed to Manchester to meet with my fiancé and I, and made the long trek for the wedding (very early in the morning). He and his partner photographed well into the evening, and everyone remarked about how lovely both Rafe and Kelly were. I dare say that everyone wanted them to stay!
  The resulting photos bring back every happy moment from our day. They are beautiful memories that I will cherish forever; a wrinkled laughing face, some very uncoordinated dance moves, touching tears, and most especially the love of my life. I feel so fortunate to have had Rafe shoot my wedding. Thank you so much Rafe!

  Stunning Portrayal of Our Special Day!

  Rafe Abrook Photography - where do we even start! It was an incredible journey. The best professional in the wedding industry that we could ever have asked for, from booking to engagement shoot to the big day and beyond Rafe was amazing! If you're not a massive fan of being photographed and/or want a well documented story of events from your big day capturing emotion & personality, look no further. Rafe made us feel at ease from the very beginning, he was friendly, understood exactly what we were looking for & took truly amazing photos. The photos were perfect portrayals of our closest family and friends celebrating with us & on the day itself he was a photography ninja, almost invisible yet he captured every second of our day in the most incredible way. We are so lucky to have chosen Rafe Abrook Photography for our wedding, now we have truly stunning lasting reminders of our big day to accompany our amazing memories!!

  Perfection!

  From the moment we spoke, we knew he would be perfect for us. He advised us on aspects of photography we knew nothing about and we did the same with him (being his 1st same sex wedding, some things were a little different for him too). He made sure we were 100% happy with the plan and when the day came, we were confident that we were going to have a brilliant day.
  
  You'll have your bridesmaids doing everything he asks of them, your Nan ogling over him and your guests commenting on how brilliant his is.
  
  2. He LOVES his job. From the civilised start of the day to the embarrasing drunken mess near the end, he's there capturing your amazing memories.. for better and for worse.. Nothings staged, it's raw, natural and perfect, moments capured in whatever way he can, even if it means lying on the floor or standing on tables.
  
  3. He's more than your photographer. For us, he slotted in like one of the family.
  
  He guided the morning for us, made sure we were on time for meeting with the registrars.
  
  He gathered excitable bridesmaids for hair and makeup.
  
  He helped make sure my wife and i didnt see eachother the morning of the wedding, forming human barriers and acting like our security.
  
  Hung my dress up on a curtain rail when i couldn't reach.. Having a 10ft photographer does have its advantages to a 5ft bride.
  
  Gave me a firemans lift over gravel to where we were having evening photos, because i was drunk and stupidilly took my shoes off and couldnt walk anywhere.
  
  All of this whilst still perfectly capturing every single aspesct, emotion and feeling from our day in his outstanding photos, makes him a very special photographer indeed.

  Listen and understands your needs and delivers!!

  Rafe took some wonderful, natural, fun images at our wedding in July and really captured our personalities to a tee. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to others! You will not be disappointed.

  Utterly professional

  Rafe was utterly professional from start to finish and took the stress away from worrying about anything to do with our wedding photos. We had Rafe and Karolina there from morning until dark secretly beavering away all day and then he produced some amazing photos for which we’ve received so many compliments including from others who got married this year. Only hard part was choosing which ones to get framed as there were so many! Thanks Rafe

  Excellent from day one

  Rafe and his team were excellent from day one - being someone who hates having his photo taken and has no real clue about photography, Rafe was able to calm my nerves and help the day go with complete success whilst ensuring my wife was comfortable and enjoyed every minute.
  His team were as friendly as he was and they got in incredibly well with everyone at the wedding.
  Thanks for capturing our special day perfectly.

  Beyond happy with our photos

  Thank you so much!! Beyond happy with our photos. You captured our day in the natural way that we wanted and gave us life long memories that couldn't make me happier.
