Hi there!

I am Rachael.

The face behind Rose and Willow Photography. A photographer and lover of real stories, capturing intimate moments within rural living, family life and wedding days.

Photography is in my genes! My father was a wonderful photographer and I began my photography journey in 2012 with him. For a time I focused mainly on equestrian sport, before branching out into the world of weddings. I documented many celebrations of every shape and size and I loved the joy, the emotion, and the beautiful chaos of a wedding day.

Now the mother of two gorgeous girls (the inspiration behind my business name) I find myself drawn to quieter moments, to small things that tell a bigger story. I’ve found my passion in the simple, beautiful stories that unfold in everyday life, whether that’s a joyful family session in golden hour light, the heartfelt emotions on a wedding day, a moment of reflection on a farm, or the bond between people and their beloved animals.

At home in Oundle you’ll usually find me chatting to our chickens, being dragged through the countryside by Maple the dog, brushing cat hair off the sofa, or dashing about to keep up with my young daughters' busy social lives. Oh and there’s a lovely husband in the mix somewhere too!

I’d love to capture your story so please do get in touch by sending an email to [email protected] or using the form on my contact page.
