About me

Hello! I’m Rachel, a documentary wedding photographer Edinburgh (ish) based.

WHEN I’M OLD I PLAN TO BE A CRAZY DOG LADY (THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS MORE DOGS).

Some facts about me! I make the best chili cream rigatoni this side of Italy. I always read the end of a book before starting it to see if I like it, weird I know. My own romance story started with a beer tent, falling off a table, and a lost bag. I like watching true crime documentaries to relax (Yes, I find them relaxing!). I wanted to be a teacher, then I had my own kid…(say no more!). I kill all houseplants I own, but I’m great in the garden. I love dusty old second-hand junk shops, the mustier the better. I snort when I laugh really hard and my sneeze is like a mouse squeaking!

With four-legged friends

From anyone’s dad

You won’t catch me dancing to them

Not a morning person
