About Me
Hi, I'm Rachael (She/Her),
A Wedding and Family photographer based in Swansea, South Wales.
I take a documentary style approach to wedding photography, and prefer to hang back and capture things as they happen, giving you a wide range of candid images that will enable you to relive your day for years to come.
I started Our Beautiful Adventure Photography 10 years ago. What started out as me doing photos shoots for friends has taken me on the most amazing journey to where I am today; a full time wedding and family photographer.
So who am I?
I’m the girl who at 18 applied to universities based on their proximity to the sea and as a result ended up moving from land locked Coventry, to Swansea, where I have lived ever since.
I’m the Mum who drags her 3 children to the beach, and on long hikes, every weekend (mostly against their will) because I always prefer being outside, and I will never get tired of this place we get to call home.
I’m the person who loves a challenge and a goal so much, that back in 2020, when we were finally allowed to venture further than our front door decided to start walking the Wales Coast Path. All 870 miles of it, a little bit at a time, purely because I wanted to explore more of this place we live, and because I love a hike so much but don’t always know where to go. It’s given me purpose and motivation, and helped me learn so much more about Wales and where we live in the process. It’s nearly 5 years later and I can now say I have walked from Llantwit Major, all the way to Machynlleth.
And last, but not least, I’m the photographer whose super power is my quiet nature, allowing me to capture your day as naturally as possible, without intruding on it. Whose ability to disappear in a crowd makes me the perfect person to capture all those candid moments you’ll want documented, without even knowing I was there.
If I sound like the photographer you’ve been looking for, then get in touch using the form below. I still have availability for weddings tin 2026, and am now booking 2027 and 2028.

“Rachael photographed our wedding this Summer. We originally chose Rachael due to her stunning portfolio of outdoor scenery and relaxed, natural wedding pictures. Our wedding ceremony was held outdoors followed by a marquee for the reception, therefore we felt it was very important to have a photographer who could capture the beauty of the Welsh countryside in the background of our wedding pictures. Rachael did just that- and the photos are beautiful! Her communication has been fantastic, from our initial enquiry all the way through to the delivery of our final pictures! We were also impressed with Rachaels environmental ethos- photos delivered plastic free and with a wooden memory stick. Thank you so much Rachael ”
