“Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing photographer! Rachel has captured our engagement, wedding, maternity and soon new born session. The reason why we always go back to Rachel is because she has made it so easy and stress free. From teaching us how to pose and feel comfortable in front of the camera, answering all of my questions, and making sure I had nice outfits to wear! Its been so special to have all these moments captured by Rachel, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”

Testimonials
“Organising a New Zealand extended-family photo shoot from Australia, probably should have been a lot harder than it was - but Rachel was professional, friendly and made everything seem really easy!
On the day Rachel was down to earth and fitted in like one of the family. And the photos she produced are absolutely stunning - treasures!
I would have no reservations in recommending Rachel for any event requiring second-to-none photography!”

We were lucky enough to book Rachel for our wedding in 2021 and couldn’t recommend her more. Rachel made the whole experience of being photographed so great and put us totally at ease despite the wedding day nerves. The photos of our day are just the best & something we’ll treasure forever. 🙏 Thank you Rachel”

“I wanted to get maternity photos done by Rachel as I had been admiring her talent on Instagram for some time. Absolutely no regrets! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gets the most amazing shots, without even having to “pose”. Her eye for locations and shots is beautiful, and her editing - so perfect! I wish I had known about Rachel with my other pregnancies and wedding! Hawke’s Bay is very lucky!”

Rachel is so incredibly talented at capturing moments without it feeling forced or unnatural, and her friendly personality puts you completely at ease.

I don’t think you regret choosing to spend money on family photos as you blink and the kids have grown, and we will cherish these photos forever. I couldn’t recom”
