“I hired Rachel for my wedding on the 1st June 2024. She was took the time to listen to us, was very receptive to what shots we wanted, and she was just so easy to talk to, I felt like I was talking to an old friend.
On the wedding day itself, you could tell she was working really hard in the background, but also being inconspicuous and really blended in with the crowd. She was so easy to work with and to communicate to, and because she had done photoshoots at the locations of my ceremony (St Brigid’s) and reception (The Merchant) previously, she knew all the right locations and right timings to get the right shots.


Rachel is not just an excellent photographer, she is also a professional in putting veils on too! My hairstylist left after she was done with my hair but we all had forgotten about the veil! But Rachel came to the rescue and pinned it down securely and perfectly!


After the wedding we got the first 250 photos back from Rachel, and I was in absolute awe with the photos, and my folks can’t stop looking through them!
Rachel - I can’t thank you enough for capturing our day so perfectly. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and I’ll definitely be recommending you to other couples who are looking for a wedding photographer!!”

“Rachel was the best photographer we could have ever dreamed of having for our wedding day!! At times we didn’t even realise she was taking photos, she was so relaxed and such a lovely person to have with us on the day. The whole process was so smooth from booking right through to getting our photos, and when we got them back we were in love with them. They are all absolutely stunning, now the hardest part is to pick which ones to print.

Thank you so much Rachel, you really are amazing. Love The Garrett’s”

“Rachel was amazing to work with from start to finish. Our day was captured so beautifully and she didn’t miss one single detail! She was also so lovely to have there on the day, she was so relaxed during what is such a busy day which is so important!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Rachel enough, the most natural and beautiful wedding photos we could have ever hoped for, thank you so much Rachel!!”

“I couldn't recommend Rachel enough she made everything feel really relaxed from start to finish & made getting photographs taken enjoyable! So pleased with my wedding photos & the keepsake box they came in.

Rachel is so talented & don't think anyone else could have captured the day the way she did!”

Erin McLoone July 2022

“We booked Rachel for our wedding after seeing how natural & candid her style of photography was. Rachel was great on the day of the wedding & blended in so well that we barely realised she was there at times. She was great at making sure we didn’t have to spent too much time away from guests for any group shots & made everyone feel so comfortable.

We were over the moon with our photos and the personalised photo box & usb were such a lovely touch. So many people have asked who our photographer was as they loved the style. Honestly couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Rachel made our day the most wonderful of our lives! She was supportive and helpful when we needed suggestions but informal and unobtrusive also.

It was so wonderful to get our photos back and see all the candid moments between our friends and families. She captured the day epically and was instrumental in the memories we will treasure forever. Thank you Rachel!”

“I honestly couldn’t recommend Rachel enough. She photographed our wedding in October last year. Rachel is so professional, so talented and has such an amazing eye for capturing those special moments. We absolutely loved our wedding day and Rachel just made it all so easy.

We honestly said it was like having another one of our friends there with us! Then we got our photos back and we were completely blown away! They were just soo beautiful and natural and exactly what we wanted! Looking back at the photos bought back all the amazing memories and we are soo thankful that we have the most beautiful photos to keep.

We loved Rachel so much that we ended up booking her again just last month to do an extended family photoshoot for us! We shall certainly be back again! Thank you so much Rachel for everything!”

“I honestly couldn’t recommend Rachel enough. From the very first time dealing with her, she was so professional and answered any questions I had. The day of the wedding she was brilliant, she was so discreet I didn’t realise she was there which made things so much more relaxed and it’s definitely showed in the gorgeous pictures she got.

I live in Canada and Rachel knew I was heading back 2 weeks after the wedding and she outdone herself in getting the pictures ready before we left the country. The prints came in a beautiful engraved wooden box with a memory pen and we are so so happy with them.

Thank you again Rachel for capturing all the best bits of our wedding day. You deserve so much success!”

“Anyone that is looking for a photographer for their wedding or any special day/event get in touch with this girl Rachel Cooke. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish, her eye for detail is top class.

We had the pleasure of Rachel shooting our photographs for our wedding in the Galgorm in December past and we just received our photos and they are unbelievable. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease snapping photos that aren't staged, that you know what you are smiling at. I could write all night about how great she is, her work speaks for herself.

So don't be afraid to get in touch everyone she will not disappoint in her photography skills. Thanks again Rachel!”

Erin Orme Nov 2021

“Could not have been happier that Rachel was there with us on our big day. Rachel is so approachable, knowledgeable and personable and puts everyone at ease. She was there throughout my covid-restriction-meltdowns and my many many questions and I couldn't be more thankful she was there with us. We weren't able to have a reception, and our ceremony numbers were restricted. I'm so glad we have such lovely photographs to share with the loved ones who couldn't be with us on the day.

For a group of people who say they aren't fans of the camera, you wouldn't know it at all. Rachel also took such a good mix of photos & the quality of the prints really blew us away. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and so glad she was with us for all the little (and the big) moments on the day.”

“Rachel is an absolute treasure, her talents and kind nature are second to none, and we are absolutely delighted with our photos. She captured our wedding day perfectly, and made us feel so at ease. The care and love she has for her job shines. Couldn't have asked for more!”

Julie Deighan Nov 2021

“We have just received our photos that Rachel took at our wedding and they are just perfect. I’ve looked at them every day (at least twice!!) since getting them and each time I spot something different that I hadn’t noticed before. They were exactly what we’d hoped for.

Rachel listened to what we wanted and the result was relaxed, natural beautiful pictures that will help us remember our wonderful day forever. Rachel was so understanding and accommodating when we had to postpone our April wedding to October due to Covid-19 restrictions, we couldn't have wished for a better photographer. Thank you Rachel!”

“Rachel was an absolutely amazing wedding photographer, she made us feel so relaxed and it definitely showed in the photos. She was so flexible and easy going and knew exactly how to catch everyone in the best light. The photos turned out wonderful and she caught glimpses of everything.

I would highly recommend her as a photographer, I’m so glad we went with her!”

“I can not recommend Rachel enough! She was honestly amazing! Her whole presence on the day we wouldn’t have known she was there and the photos we have received are out of this world! She captured every little detail, and every moment we thought had been missed from the busy day she managed to get it and we can’t thank her enough!

She was amazing and couldn’t do enough for us! Thank you so much again Rachel, Complete Gem!”
