Rachel was amazing from start to finish with the photos for our wedding! Booking during covid was a bit nerve wrecking but nothing was ever too much and on the day Rachel and her colleague were both wonderful. Everyone has been hugely complimentary of our photos and we will cherish them forever!!!

Rachel was amazing at capturing every special moment of our wedding day. She listened to what we wanted and made us all feel at ease. All our guests commented on how beautiful the photos are and how clever Rachel was at going unnoticed taking such natural photos throughout the day. We would highly recommend to any couple!

Absolutely amazing photographer! Took time to sit with me and my partner and go through all our questions. Being a wedding photographer myself, I trusted Rachel completely to capture our day well and THAT SHE DID! Amazing photos from an amazing lady

My wife and I got married on the 22nd of September 2020 at Cote How in the Lake District and we couldn't of done it without our amazing photographer Rachel Joyce. She was with us every step of the way. When browsing for wedding photographers in the Lake District, Rachel stood out straight away, her bright, colourful and candid photos were just what we wanted. They are absolutelybeautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to be there on our special day. You were a dream to work with and captured everything and more. We are just over the moon! Thank you Rachel

I had the pleasure of working with Rachel at a ceremony at Holmes Mill. The photographs that she took were absolutely sensational. Everything was captured so beautifully. Rachel was really easy to work with - professional, friendly and hugely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
