Hi, I’m Rachel
A lively, people-loving mother of two, I’m fuelled by dance, travel, and meeting wonderful people around the world. I’ve always tried to approach life with a positive outlook, finding light even on the greyest of days—it’s my way of keeping things in perspective! And I know that if sharing this outlook can make someone else’s challenges feel a little lighter, that’s a win in my book.
I bring that energy and my genuine passion for people to every photoshoot, whether I’m capturing precious moments for families or working with inspiring entrepreneurs to elevate their brands. My goal is to make each person feel comfortable, valued, and excited about their imagery.
Trust is at the heart of what I do, and it’s a two-way street. My advice? Have a chat with your photographer first—feel out the connection. You’ll know pretty quickly if it feels right. And while I love to chat, I’m just as good at listening, so let’s create something amazing together!
“Simply, I feel lucky that my photography allows me such a uniquely creative opportunity to capture, frame by frame, how I see the world and what I feel. Ultimately it allows me to contribute in a positive and meaningful way to our extraordinarily beautiful, complex, yet also, fragile world.”
Rachel Mullins is a Marlborough-based brand and lifestyle photographer unlike any other. With Australian roots, a Hong Kong childhood and global travel experience, Rachel is able to bring a rich, dynamic, multicultural perspective to her work.
Having studied Graphic Design and Photography at the University of the Arts London as well as honing her artistic skills at Central St. Martins and the London College of Communication, Rachel’s combination of rigorous training, creativity and drive make her a confident, experienced, and highly professional photographer. A wealth of knowledge and experience in what and who she photographs, affords her an instinctive approach and an ease in her style.

“I chose to concentrate on photography because my expatriate roots have fostered a consuming fascination for and love of travel, of nature, of people and of community, and a passion to capture sublime moments that not only tell a thousand words, but also raise a thousand thoughts.”
We chose Rachel to be our wedding photographer last October and can honestly say she was a real pleasure to work with. We have never met someone so enthusiastic and she genuinely loves her work, which shines through.
We have some great photos of our wedding day and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

'I was so overwhelmed looking for a photographer to capture the early months of my first baby because I really wanted the photos to be great, and didn't want to spend a small fortune! Rachel was so so brilliant-priced well, very warm and kind and accommodating, and so good at making my little man smile! The photos turned out beautiful, and are so special. We will really treasure them. I would certainly recommend her to anyone!'

We had some beautiful pictures done of our three young sons earlier this year. Rachel was incredibly patient with them whilst they tore around the Discovery Centre in three different directions, pulled silly faces, fell in the mud and refused to be directed and because of her skill we've ended up with some really fabulous photos that completely capture the energy and craziness of my lovely boys. Exactly what I wanted and more!

How can we describe Rachel? The only words I can think of are amazing, professional, kind, brilliant - the list could go on!! We 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. Our house is full of Rachel's images, we have used her at 5 separate occasions including our wedding and most recently to capture our newborn Zachary. Rachel was just amazing with him so relaxed and willing to go with Zac during the shoot, happy to stop for him to feed there was no rush which was perfect! Such a natural with babies. We love her and her work, thank you again

We first met Rachel when she photographed our wedding in 2014. When our son was born earlier this year, without hesitation we contacted Rachel to arrange a new born photoshoot and if we ever want professional photos taking again in the future, we would definitely use Rachel's services again. She immediately put us at ease, is great fun be around and takes lovely pictures. Looking forward to working with her again at some point in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for gorgeous photos from a lovely lady.

'One of the first things I did when planning for our wedding was to book Rachel! I knew Rachel previously, and after following her social media pages for several years I had no doubt that it was her I wanted to photograph our wedding. She accommodated us brilliantly, especially seeing as our venue was definitely not local!
I can often feel awkward having my picture taken, but Rachel made me feel relaxed and comfortable at all times. She joined in with my tribe of bridesmaid's, laughing and joking with us whilst we got ready, and also capturing great moments of the boys' preparations too. I didn't exactly give Rachel any guidelines on what special photographs I would like from the day, and somehow she managed to get them all anyway! I love the mix of natural, candid shots and her styling of the more 'formal' ones.
The only problem we have now is narrowing down our favourite photos for the album!'
