In 2023, I was thoroughly impressed! The photos were fantastic, and the photographer was friendly and approachable with both myself and our wedding guests. She was proactive in adjusting the scene for perfect shots and answered all our questions about album choices and pricing, making the process seamless. I highly recommend her for wedding photography and suggest booking early to secure your date. We had the full-day package and have no regrets! In 2025, she also took our newborn photos (just 12 days old) and was fantastic at capturing the themes we wanted. She was supportive during feeding and changing breaks. Our images were breathtaking, and we ended up purchasing more prints. I can't recommend her enough; we've used her for prom, wedding, and newborn shoots without any complaints!

Rachael Phillips Photography is a wedding and newborn photography business based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, working across Nottingham, Derby, the East Midlands, and surrounding areas.
Photography isn’t about stiff poses or forced moments. It’s about people feeling comfortable enough to be themselves. That approach runs through everything Rachael does, whether it’s a full wedding day or a quiet newborn session at home. The focus is always on calm, natural photography that feels real and never awkward.
Rachael is known for being friendly, down to earth, and quietly confident, which helps people relax in front of the camera, even if they usually dislike having their photo taken. Couples often say it feels more like having someone they trust alongside them on the day, rather than a supplier directing from the sidelines. Someone who knows when to step in, when to hang back, and how to keep things running smoothly without fuss.
•Wedding photography centres on genuine moments, the in-between parts of the day, the laughter, nerves, and connections that happen when people aren’t aware of the camera. •Newborn sessions are unhurried and baby-led, with a home garden studio designed to feel relaxed, safe, and comfortable for both babies and parents.
What sets Rachael Phillips Photography apart is a people-first approach from start to finish. Every booking is handled with care, clear communication, and realistic expectations. There’s no rushing, no pressure, and no one-size-fits-all process. Clients feel supported throughout and receive photographs that reflect them honestly, long after trends have passed.See more
