Rachel Joyce Photography Full Description
Hi, I'm Rachel and I am a wedding photographer based just on the border of Lancashire, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. I live in a very handy spot so I travel across the North West covering. I provide modern, documentary style images for couples who care about their photographer but dont want it to interfere with their day. Trust me to blend into the background and capture your day as it unfolds with very little interference. Please take some time to check through my portfolio and then get in touch and tell me about your plans.

Happy couple married in October

She’s amazing
Absolutely the best experience! I wasn’t even sure to have a photographer as I didn’t want all the traditional fuss and getting ready pics etc but Rachel knew exactly what I wanted and I now have the best photos I could have hoped for. Captured us perfectly and as I didn’t want photos getting ready Rachel took photos of my gorgeous house rabbit instead (much more interesting !) She’s just great :)

Highly skilled, professional, quiet and super efficient
We love working with Rachel. The fact that she seems invisible is a massive plus. Working tirelessly in the background we love the fact that she professionally and silently works her craft without imposing on the wedding couple or guests. She is very easy to work alongside, so timings are smooth and we can plan and be flexible pending weather challenges or last minute suggestions. Rachel has worked more and more here recently and her work speaks for itself. Her style suits the modern couples and her photographs are timeless classics that record the day perfectly. She captures the essence of the atmosphere perfectly, her timing is exceptional and she never seems to miss a magical moment.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Toughie! We've shot a lot of memorable weddings. I think it may be one of my most recent weddings which was the wettest day but the couple and their guests were amazing. At the end of the evening, as a surprise to the bride, her dad had arranged a Gary Barlow look-a-like to show up and sing. One of the guests thought he was the real thing and got a little overexcited!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Modern, relaxed, creative, authentic, beautiful

What about your business are you most proud of?

Nothing makes me prouder than heading to facebook and seeing lots of my couples use my images as their profile picture. Making people happy makes me proud.

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

Do it your way. Weddings can get ridiculously expensive and complicated and if this is stressing you out - just remember it doesn't have to be that way. Do it the way that makes you happy.

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

Too many to think of here. Lots of my couples choose to incorporate personal touches. The bride who left her bouquet on the seat where her mother should have sat if she hadn't passed away from cancer. The 15 year old son of a bride who gave the best man speech for his mum, the handmade cakes, invitations and decorations that friends and family have spent their time creating.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I aim to make the process as simple or as indepth as you desire. I have a small studio where I meet with couples and discuss their plans but I'm also happy to arrange a telephone call or skype if that's easier. My booking process consists of a booking form and e-contract which can all be done online. I arrange a final consultation about a month before the wedding to run through everything in details.

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

I think every couple should allocate sometime away from the guests to have their couples shots. Even for couples who aren't particularly fond of the camera I think it's so important to get these images and a good photographer will get some amazing images for you which you'll be so glad to have.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

A group shot at a Mad Hatters Themed wedding - where all the guests had been asked to bring headwear. We did a huge group shot with everyone throwing their hats in the air.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Choose your venue carefully in the first instance - are there places for shots inside? Be flexible with your plans. If is is terrible you may not be able to get that whole group shot you wanted. Finally - brave it. You can get some amazing images in the rain if you're brave enough to risk going out in it.

Describe how you got into photography.

I've always been a creative and I've tried my hand at many things. When my daughter was born I brought a 'proper' camera and realised I had no clue how to use it. Cue a college course and meeting some great people and my little business was born. 10 years on I solely shoot weddings and I love it!
