Laura Rachel Photography Full Description
Wedding photography is so incredibly important! Once the big day is over, the photos are what you have left to remind you of that wonderful occasion. Choosing the right photographer for you can be an incredibly difficult task. Laura takes an artistic approach to wedding photography. She sees the world in a different way, utilising the light (or using artificial light) to create incredible images. Most photographers will offer you either all posed or all natural. Laura captures both! There's plenty of time to photograph all of the beautiful poses (really get some wow shots!) and time to capture all of your guests enjoying your day and having fun. There are so many moments that can't be posed.... Laura's collections include an optional engagement photo shoot, full wedding day coverage, Laura and her assistant photographer (so many natural photos!), a beautiful USB with your hand edited images full sized and ready to print and finally an optional password protected gallery for your friends and family. There's also collections which include albums too. Contact Laura to receive her pricing information.

She captured our day perfectly

Laura has been fantastic, she captured our day perfectly. Her photography is unique and the moments she captured will be treasured forever. Laura and Angela were great fun on our special day and plenty of laughs were had. Mr & Mrs Barnett-Lee Plum Park, June 2021

She's easy to work with, friendly, helpful and lovely :-)

Laura came to our rescue a few weeks before our wedding day as another photographer we had booked broke his arm and cancelled on us. She was brilliant from the start, so easy to work with, friendly, helpful and lovely. And the photos were beautiful. Thank you so much. Hannah and David

She has such an eye for detail and this shows in the photos

Laura photographed our wedding on the 22nd August 2019. From start to finish Laura was so professional. The photos we have received from both our engagement shoot and wedding day are fabulous. Lots of natural shots which is what we had asked for. She has such an eye for detail and this shows in the photos. Thank you so much Laura, we have wonderful pictures to look back on our wonderful day.

Stunning wedding photography

We booked Laura Rachel Photography as we felt all the photos were individual to the client. The engagement shoot that was included in our package was at a location of our choosing and since neither of us felt comfortable in front of a camera, a great opportunity to get used to the being photographed. Laura really put as ease by being friendly and talkative while giving us tips on how to take a good photo. This really helped reduce the nerves of having the camera around on the wedding day. On the big day itself, Laura and her assistant were wonderful and all their experience came across in how proficiently all of the photos were organised. We felt comfortable and at ease and to be honest didn’t even notice they were there half the time. We have just received the wedding photos and can honestly say they are amazing. Laura and her team really managed to capture the feel of the day and our style as a couple. All the pictures feel personal and looking through them takes us back to the moment. Laura Rachel Photography managed to capture and convey the emotions that were experienced on the day and we can’t wait to see the album.

Her eye is like no other’s

Laura captured our intimate wedding day in December 2017 so beautifully so we had to have her photograph our blessing in May. Laura’s eye is just incredible! She made me look like Beyoncé (kind of) and Graham looked even more like Prince Wills (again - kind of!) The lighting, the angles and her aura are just fabulous. I would recommend her ten times over to any of my friends getting married.

Photographs are magical

Laura is an amazing photographer to work with, right from the start she is so friendly and answers any queries you have an just puts your mind at ease that everything is going to be amazing! She knew where the great spots were within the venue grounds and had plenty of recommendations for poses and special effects we could do for our Harry Potter themed wedding which we were so thrilled and excited about! I would definitely recommend Laura for wedding photography, everything ran so smoothly on the day and the groups shot just flowed really nicely, then me and my Husband had plenty of time for private shots. Our photos from the day took our breath away and we couldn't be happier with the shots! Love Mr & Mrs Willmott

You can tell they genuinely enjoy their job!!

We attended a beautiful wedding at Hedsor House in October where Laura was the photographer. When the bride asked me if I would like to leave a review I said of course! Never have I met such a friendly and courteous photographer before. I’ve been to weddings where they will be quite pushy and rude, but Laura was an amazing part of the day. From what I could see, the both of them were on their feet all day - with a smile on their faces! You can tell they genuinely enjoy their job!! When we asked for a photograph of the family (We never get the opportunity to get dressed up and have a beautiful family portrait) she said of course and proceeded to pose us correctly, making sure this will be the image we put on our wall with pride! The photographers really looked after the guests as well as the couple. Another guest asked Laura some photography questions and where I’ve seen photographers in the past get jealous and wary over another creative in their space, Laura took the time to talk to him (knowing the other photographer was busy taking candid photos.) I love every one of the photographs from their wedding day!

Best day of my life

Choosing Laura to be our wedding photographer was an easy decision to make. The photographs of our wedding day are so important that we wanted to invest in someone that we could trust to be there for us, to capture every moment but to also pose us correctly and elegantly. I knew I could trust Laura the moment I met her! She’s very welcoming and friendly and makes you feel so at ease with the camera - even me - I usually hate the camera! But I love our photos. We felt calm and relaxed but we also knew exactly how to pose to get the most out of our photographs from having the engagement photo shoot beforehand. This helped my nerves more than anything but it also gave me an idea of how Laura worked and it’s not as rigid as I thought it would be. During the planning process we did look at a few other photographers as a comparison. We had used Laura many times before but wanted to be 100% certain. Laura stood out from the others by miles. Not just for her quality of work, but her ability to capture such beautiful and intimate moments without interrupting the day, the gorgeous posed and traditional photos but most of all her level of customer service. We knew we could contact Laura about any wedding questions we had. We feel like incredibly valued clients and we can’t wait for our next photo shoot with her!

Laura was friendly, welcoming and so accommodating!

We had already used Laura Rachel for various family photo shoots including maternity and newborn, so we knew we were in safe hands when booking her for our wedding! Even though we knew exactly what to expect she still blew us away with her creativity and her ability to capture every moment. During the planning process (which was only a few months!) Laura was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. On the day she turned up early to view our venue and to take her time with us. Not once did I feel rushed by Laura or her assistant. They were a pleasant addition to our day. We chose Hedsor House for the wedding because of how stunning it is. Laura really made the most out of such an incredible place, even with the rain! Indoor group photographs weren’t a problem as she has the separate lighting equipment. So because of the weather, we didn’t miss out! And when the sun (almost sun!) started to shine through, she picked up her camera during her break time, without hesitation, to get that all amazing night time venue photo (currently the display photo!) Without a doubt I will recommend Laura and her assistant to anyone who is getting married and wants amazing photographs, incredible service and knowing your photos are in safe hands.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I've had so many incredible days! I'm usually talking a wedding in France. There was food, wine, sunshine and most of all laughter!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Artistic, Beautiful, Stunning, Reportage, Real

What about your business are you most proud of?

Creating memories for wonderful people. Capturing the moments and the emotion of the day.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take your time and plan for everything, particularly planning for bad weather!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

An owl bought in the rings during a wedding. It was really beautiful and all the guests were stunned!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Everything is planned to the last detail to avoid stress. I want each and every one of my couples to know they can trust me to deliver their images, better than they expect them to be. I start with a phone or in person consultation and we discuss what they want. After this it's the engagement session where I show them how to pose and how to be natural with the camera, which is surprisingly very important! Then comes the wedding day where I am with the couple & their family all day, capturing every laugh, every tear and every beautiful moment. It's such a rewarding job to be the person to make this happen.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Think of the people that are important to you. If you have a great photographer, everything that happens throughout the day will be captured. But if you have a special grandparent or friend or someone that's really special to you - tell your photographer. Make that photo happen. Then treasure that photo.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Have a back up plan, at every time of year! Have umbrellas (& wellies if it's a field!) and plan somewhere inside for group photos just in case. This is vital because who wants to say the weather ruined their day? From my experience rain has only enhanced the images because my couples are always prepared.

Describe how you got into photography.

It started with an art degree and a family business with wedding cars! I love the art of photography, I paint with light! 12 years later I have refined my art, I have a unique style, create stunning images for my couples and enjoy every second! I now even teach photography to others. I don't 'point and shoot' then cover it up with an instagram filter. Each image is artistically created to be magazine worthy and stunning for a lifetime. These images won't go out of fashion.
