Bill+Sam Sent on 06/02/2026She felt more like a friend than a supplier
We’re not comfortable in front of a camera at all, but Rachael made it so easy. no pressure, just gentle guidance when we needed it. She felt more like a friend than a supplier. The photos are amazing, and we can't wait for our album. Emotional, fun, and full of real moments. Looking through them took us straight back to the day. If you want photos that actually feel like your wedding, Rachael is your person.Rachael Phillips Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for this. It genuinely means a lot.
You both were a joy to be around, and I’m so glad you felt comfortable. That’s always the aim, no pressure, just gentle guidance when it helps, and space to be yourselves.
Thank you for trusting me with such an important part of your wedding. 💛 -

100% top notch! Rachael has been amazing from the very first contact to present. From the very start, contact and communication has been brilliant, she makes you feel at ease right away. An absolute pro in every way. We would recommend and encourage anyone looking for a photographer to look no further than Rachael Phillips! We ended up going with the Full Shebang package and would strongly recommend couples getting married to go for the same. Big shout-out to second shooter Andy as well! Together they made a fabulous duo and absolutely played a huge role in making our day so extra special :) they very obviously love what they do and are experts in the field knowing exactly how to make people feel relaxed and happy in front of the camera. Our guests also remarked on how amazing the photographer's are. We had our slideshow after our wedding breakfast which was truly a highlight and our guests loved it too, so much so that some guests pulled up chairs to sit and view it comfortably :) Rachael's thoughtfulness, attention to detail and thoroughness every step of the way have exceeded expectations and blown us away! Rachael is obviously a workaholic and works fast too, we have been beyond impressed at the speed at which she was able to publish our full gallery with slideshow and bonus video clips too, all of which we will treasure forever! We recently received our printed album and again, totally amazing in every way. Massive eternal thank you for everything!!! :)

Ahh wow David and Tara, thank you so much for such a lovely review.
I’m honestly so chuffed reading this!
From our first chats right through to your beautiful Rufford Mill wedding day, it was such a joy being part of your journey. You two were just brilliant, and it means the world that you felt relaxed and looked after every step of the way.
I’m also buzzing that the slideshow went down so well , love that your guests pulled up chairs for it, this was the first for us, guests and couples normally gather, but I’ve never had anybody pull up a chair, love it!! And hearing your kind words about Andy too means a lot — we do make a good team and I will be sure to pass on this with you to him as well 💛
It’s always my aim to make the whole experience feel effortless and full of heart, so knowing that you felt all of that really does mean everything.
Your full gallery, album and extras were an absolute pleasure to create and I’m so glad you’ll be treasuring them for years to come.
Massive love and thanks again for choosing me to capture your day. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!

I’m honestly just so grateful that we found you. It felt like having a friend at our wedding rather than just a photographer, like we’d known you for ages!
You were so helpful, friendly, and just lovely to be around, which made both of us feel totally relaxed on the day.
Thank you for being such a brilliant part of it all.Rachael Phillips Photography's reply:
Ahh, this means the absolute world, Thank you so much! 💛
One of the biggest compliments I could ever get is that it felt like having a friend there. That’s exactly the kind of experience I hope to give every couple—natural, relaxed, and joyful.
I’m so grateful you chose me to be your wedding photographer, and being part of your day honestly felt like such a privilege.
Big love to you both, and cheers to all the beautiful memories ahead!

Mel Sent on 27/01/2025Rachael was an absolute dream to work with!
Rachael was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we booked, she made us feel so comfortable and excited about our big day. On the day itself, she went above and beyond. Not just as our photographer but as a calming presence and honorary bridesmaid! She captured every moment so perfectly, from the emotional ones to the laughs and everything in between. We couldn't stop smiling when we saw our gallery; it’s like reliving the best day of our lives all over again. Thank you, Rachael, for being so amazing!Rachael Phillips Photography's reply:
Ahh, this has absolutely made my day! 🥹💕 Thank you so much for your lovely words – it was such an honour to be part of your big day (and I’ll gladly take the honourary bridesmaid title! 😂).
You two were an absolute dream to photograph, and I’m so happy the photos bring back all those amazing memories for you. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and more of those incredible smiles! ❤️📸✨ -

Barton Sent on 07/11/2024What an amazing day we had
Rachel's skill and professionalism throughout the whole process from start to finish off our wedding photography was sublime. The uniqueness and creativity she has used in our photos is outstanding. My wife and I were put at ease the whole day, and we couldn't thank Rachael enough. She really went above and beyond the whole day too and it was apparent how much she cares about her job. Everyone at the wedding has commented how great she was too which has been lovely to hear. I literally couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Rachael from the bottom of my heart for the incredible memories you've captured for us which will last a lifetime.Rachael Phillips Photography's reply:
Oh wow, what an amazing review

It was a real honour to capture your special day, and I’m so glad I could help make you both feel at ease. Knowing that everyone enjoyed having me there and that you love your photos means the absolute world to me. 💕
Thank you for trusting me. Wishing you both all the love and happiness for the future. 💛 -
