Hi, I'm Rach.
Wedding Photographer. Traveller. Entrepreneur. Fashion lover. Dog mum. Wife of 14 years.
I've been photographing weddings since 2020, across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and wherever a good story takes me.
My work has been recognised in Vogue, Tatler, The Lane, Theodore Magazine and more.
What matters to me is what happens when you open your album twenty years from now.
Do you remember how it felt?
Do you notice the people you didn't realise were watching? Your grandparents laughing in the corner. Your father seeing you for the first time. Your friends on the dance floor. The way your dress moved. The light coming through the windows. All the little pieces of a day that went by far too quickly.
That's what I'm interested in preserving.
I don't believe you should spend your wedding day performing for a camera.
My role is part observer, part creative director. I'll step in when you need direction, then step back when something real is unfolding. I'll guide you when it will create something beautiful, but I won't manufacture moments simply to create a photograph.
I want you to remember your wedding, not remember being photographed at it.
My approach combines documentary observation with an editorial eye, drawing on my love of fashion, light, composition and movement. I work across both digital and film, allowing the medium to serve the story rather than the other way around.
The result is imagery that feels honest to you, while still carrying the considered, elevated quality I look for in every frame.
I care about the details other people might overlook.
The photographs are only one part of what I care about.
I care about whether your timeline gives the day enough room to breathe. Whether you've allowed enough time to actually enjoy your people. Whether the coverage you've chosen will genuinely allow me to tell the story you've asked me to tell.
If I think something isn't going to work, I'll tell you.
Not because I want to sell you more, but because I would rather have an honest conversation before your wedding than leave you wishing we'd done things differently afterwards.
I don't believe every wedding needs the same thing, and I don't believe more is automatically better. My job is to understand what matters to you, use my experience to guide you, and make considered decisions with you rather than simply ticking boxes.
The relationship I have with you matters to me.
I don't want to feel like a stranger who happens to be holding a camera.
The best photographs happen when there is trust. When you know I have you covered, when you can forget about the camera, and when I know you well enough to recognise the moments that matter to you.
That relationship works both ways.
I bring my experience, creativity and full attention to your wedding. In return, I value couples who communicate openly, trust the process and care about the work we're creating together.
You don't need to know how to build a photography timeline or tell me how to photograph your wedding. That's my job.
You do need to trust me enough to let me do it.
And then there is what happens afterwards.
I don't deliver thousands of photographs.
Every gallery is intentionally curated. I want each image to earn its place, rather than asking you to search through hundreds of photographs that don't.
And I don't believe your photographs should live forever on a hard drive or disappear into a cloud.
They're part of your family's history.
That's why I care about the finished photograph, but also about how it is preserved. A photograph you can hold, return to, pass around a table, frame in your home and eventually hand to someone who wasn't even there when it was made.
I take on a maximum of 12 weddings each year. Deliberately.
I don't want to build a business where my couples become dates in a calendar.
Twelve weddings allows me to be involved properly. To prepare properly. To know my couples. To think about their photographs before the wedding arrives, be fully present while it is happening, and care about what happens to the work afterwards.
The images look effortless because the preparation isn't.
And for me, that's what luxury should feel like.
Not having more for the sake of having more.
Having someone who is thoughtful about what matters, experienced enough to know what doesn't, and invested enough to care about the difference.
I value integrity, genuine connection, intentionality, discernment, authenticity, artistry, preservation, excellence, restraint, reciprocity, presence and care, bringing thoughtfulness and purpose to every relationship, photograph and experience I create.
