” Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them”
– Elliott Erwitt
about
Hi! My name is Rachael and I am a full time Photographer based in the North East of England. I grew up in a town call Alnwick, surrounded by the beautiful Northumbrian countryside. I love the outdoors and nature so I always love portraits that incorporate the landscape and natural environment.
I am a BIG animal lover, especially dogs. I have a gorgeous husky who stars in a lot of my own personal photographs; he may loo like a wolf but he is a big softie and loves nothing more than a good cuddle!
From a young age I have always enjoyed taking photos of family and friends and rarely went anywhere without my small film camera. I was given my first digital camera for Christmas while I was in highschool and never looked back!
I studied Costume Design at Edinburgh College of Art which was an amazing experience, living in a beautiful city and meeting some of my closest friends. While I still love sewing and creating garments, my favourite part of the process was often photographing the final costume at the end of a project and so, after working within the costume world for a few years, I decided to return to photography and make that my main focus. I went on to study photography at Newcastle and started photographing professionally in 2015.
My favourite subject has always been people, so wedding photography seemed the natural place to start! I love capturing people when they are unaware and showing the uninhibited emotions and natural beauty in documentary style photography; it’s not just about the image but also the memory and the story that it tells. With a focus on real emotions and connections I try to highlight the laughter, joy and love that are felt throughout your wedding day or portrait session.
