About

Rachel Weatherley Photography is an Ashford, Kent-based wedding photographer with over 10 years' experience and more than 200 weddings captured across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex.

Rachel's approach is documentary and relaxed — working quietly and unobtrusively so couples can enjoy every moment of their day while she captures the genuine emotions, candid laughter, and quiet details that make each wedding uniquely theirs. Her style is natural and romantic, with a focus on beautiful light and authentic storytelling rather than posed, directed shots.

Based in Ashford, Rachel has photographed weddings at venues across Canterbury, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Dover, Sevenoaks, and throughout the wider South East — from intimate barn ceremonies to grand country house celebrations and coastal settings.

Packages start from just £495 for shorter coverage, with full-day packages from £945. Every package includes professional editing, a high-resolution online gallery, full print release, and a beautiful wooden USB keepsake. Luxury photobook albums are available as an add-on, and bespoke packages can be tailored to suit any wedding.

Rachel holds a sneak peek turnaround of 48-72 hours and delivers full galleries within 6–8 weeks.
