There are two things I need to address in this review: The first being Rachel, as a person. She is legitimately the coolest, most down to earth, "bring out the best in everyone" type of woman. Her photography aside, just having her around on the day of the wedding made me feel so comfortable and loved. Our venue had a flash flood right before dinner, and she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants, and walked right in with us! Through the heat and rain, she never faltered in her ability to be able to capture every moment that was important to us. Secondly, her photography is by far one of the most eye-catching, organic, and detail-oriented I have ever come across. I have had dozens of people from my wedding approach me to tell me how much they loved her & her second shooter. Without a doubt, if you are looking for a photographer that will not only provide you with images that will be in your life forever, but will also be an integral part of your wedding day, you search ends here. <3

Look no further, Rachel is your girl. We eloped in Yellowstone National Park this summer, and if it wasn’t for Rachel, we wouldn’t have had the dreamiest day. When I inquired with her back in February, I knew after a few email exchanges that this was going to be something special. Rachel helped us choose the perfect location to get married, and it was a blast to work with her along the way. Not only is her work absolutely beautiful - she is easily the most talented photographer out there. Not one moment did we feel like we were staged or awkward - it was effortless and easy. The photos we have are ones we will look back on forever, and remember how amazing it was to become one in the middle of the wilderness. We really can’t say enough about Rachel: attentive, personable, and kind are only a few words to describe her, but I could go on and on. If you want photos you’ll cherish forever, capturing every single beautiful moment - Rachel needs to be your photographer.
Austin + Amelia Hoover
Words fail me. Rachel is by far the best, most talented photographer and she absolutely blows me away every single time! Of course, you can tell that just by looking at her utterly stunning pictures, but what you don't get to see is the time, attention, and kindness that she puts into each and every client. She was the vendor that I felt so comfortable with that when she showed up on my wedding day I got so excited to see her - like a good friend I hadn’t seen in a while! I cannot thank her enough for the ease I felt on my wedding day, knowing that my pictures were going to be perfect. Her style of photography completely fits our vibe and it made our day look even more dreamy than I could have imagined. I cannot stop looking at our wedding pictures and every single person I've talked to since my wedding gushes about how beautiful the pictures are and always says, "your photographer was incredible!" - and I couldn't agree more! I'm so so so thankful that I hired Rachel.
Jared + Brooke Perez
Okay first off, writing a review that completely captures how wonderful someone is - is difficult; I could honestly go on and on... Rachel's professionalism, personality, TALENT, eye, and style are simply unmatched. Both my husband and I feel so lucky to have worked with her. We were planning our wedding from the west coast and had never met Rachel (in person) prior to our wedding (a little nerve-wracking for sure) but that never even crossed our minds on our big day! She made us feel so comfortable, that by the end of our big day, we wanted to grab beers and tacos with her (which we will do next time we're in the area!) If I could recommend one vendor from our wedding - it would be Rachel. If you're lucky enough to have her available on your date...BOOK HER. We couldn't have imagined having a better photographer. She has so much talent and we still can't get enough of our photos - and neither can our guests. She captured the special moments so eloquently and the party so PERFECTLY (…and we partied!) We can't wait to have something else for Rachel to photograph ;) We’re forever grateful to have met such a special person.
Robert + Kelsey DiLetto
Where do I even begin?! Aside from her photography aesthetic matching our whole vibe, Rachel as a person is truly one of a kind. From the moment we began working with her, we knew we’d made the right choice. She was so professional and kind from the initial inquiry all the way through our wedding day! We both felt so comfortable reaching out to her with any random questions leading up to the big day. She was beyond helpful when developing our timeline and really helped us prioritize so we could get the photos we wanted while still being able to enjoy every bit of our wedding. Due to covid, we were unable to do the engagement session we planned, so our first-time meeting Rachel in person was our wedding but we felt like we had already known her forever! On our wedding day, Rachel’s calming energy was exactly what I needed! She truly was my personal hype-woman throughout the day, making me feel even more confident than I already did! I was blown away by the way she was able to use different spaces in the small hotel room to make all our details POP! When it was time for me to get my gown on, she made those moments between my sisters and I so very special. Rachel did her own research on the locations in Old City Philly that we took photos at and it really showed! She was just as familiar with the locations as I was and we were able to navigate around the city in ubers with ease to get the spots that my husband and I wanted for our photos. She was so great with giving us creative direction to make sure she captured all the unique and creative aspects that she wanted for us without any awkward moments! The moodiness of her photos has always awed me, and she was able to capture that aesthetic perfectly with our photos. All our guests commented on how the Rachel was so present but not over-taking and obstructing the views of any of the guests. Guests even showed me photos of Rachel lighting our candles down the aisle, when we couldn’t find the person who was supposed to do it. She is truly SO thoughtful and helpful. I cannot recommend Rachel enough! She was able to capture the most important day of our lives perfectly, all while being SUCH AN AWESOME person to be spend our wedding day with! My husband and I truly feel like we left our wedding with a new friend. Don’t think twice- book her for your wedding day!
Harry + Mia Heise
Rachel is hands-down the best. From the beginning, she makes you feel like a priority and like a friend. Her personality is contagious and she has a way about her that makes everyone feel comfortable. She made our day so special and captured all the precious moments we forgot about from our day. She was the first vendor we hired and helped us find almost every other vendor we needed. She was professional, yet so fun and helped to make our day incredible and unforgettable. Our photos are so raw, emotionally - and truly captured what we were feeling in those moments. They're candid and personable and allow us to relive our day when we look at them. We couldn't be happier with choosing Rachel!
Clint + Briana Hicks
We met Rachel two years prior to our wedding when we booked a slot for her fall mini-sessions - where we instantly fell in love. We knew as soon as we left the session that when we got engaged/married, the only person we’d allow to capture our day was Rachel. Several months after that session - we got engaged! Not only did we pick our date around when Rachel’s availability, but we booked her before we even booked our venue. She was that important to our day. With our wedding day now behind us, I can honestly say that it would not have been the same had we had another photographer. Rachel understood us as a couple, understood our love and most importantly, captured our best day. She’s not only an incredible photographer, but literally just one of the best people you'll meet. She’s your forever hype woman, biggest cheerleader, the calmest soul and has given us the most incredible memories to look back on. We feel incredibly lucky for the path that brought us to Rachel - she is the only person we will allow to capture our family, now and in the future. If she happens to be available for your day, don't hesitate, book her immediately - you definitely won't regret it.
Matt + Amanda Hilbert
I found Rachel after touring a venue and being given a list of recommended vendors. I quickly found her Instagram and fell in love. Her work stood out. Her galleries felt warm, dreamy, moody and effortlessly captured the love her couples have for each other. Better yet, they capture candid moments and don’t look posed. She makes you feel like the "cool" guy or gal you see in bridal magazines. Pre-COVID, we booked Rachel after meeting over coffee. She was awesome and involved through the whole process, even though the pandemic challenged many avenues of wedding planning. She was willing to meet twice for engagement pictures (the first time completely our fault for not knowing there are 2 pinnacle mountains in PA). The second time she met us on a weekend and trekked through a muddy horse farm I rode at during my undergrad. My fiance hates getting his picture taken, but she made it fun and was so very encouraging. Rachel stuck by us through rescheduling, and was there for a Thursday afternoon wedding. She’s a seasoned pro and her professionalism, passion, and excitement for photography is evident in her work and her presence was so comforting on the day of our wedding. She was our vendor, but she felt like a close friend and even helped buckle my shoes! I cannot recommend Rachel enough!
Ben + Jacq Horning
Rachel is everything you've dreamed about in a wedding photographer and more. We had wanted her from the minute we saw her work and I feel privileged that it worked out to have her for our big day. She stuck with us through a covid postponement, answered all our questions and reassured us that our day was going to be perfect no matter the date. All our family and friends commented on how wonderful she was on the day of and we couldn't agree more. She is warm, friendly, so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She is ridiculously talented and our photos brought tears to my eyes. Can't recommend her enough, she will make your day infinitely better and your memories infinitely beautiful.
Bran + Jess Strong
Rachel was hands-down our favorite vendor to work with for our big day. From the first conversation we had with her - the vision for our wedding day was already coming to life. She’s truly such a rockstar and made us look like we belonged in a magazine. Rachel is pure magic. She makes you feel so at ease, and everything look effortless. We loved our engagement pictures so much and our wedding photos somehow topped those. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding day!
Taylor + Kelsey Harrison
I don’t know where to begin… Rachel is one of the most down to earth, easy going and most talented photographers I’ve ever seen/met. Rachel did our engagement pictures, my bridal boudoir shoot and our wedding. I’m always completely blown away by her talent. Not only is she extremely talented, but she knows just how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. I will never go with another photographer! She’s just amazing.
Justin + Jess Lundgren
Three words: BEST. PHOTOGRAPHER. EVER. Not only does Rachel take the most bomb photos, but she also takes time to get to know her clients. I never knew how important it was to vibe with your photographer until I met Rachel. My husband is a bit camera shy, but Rachel was able to get him so comfortable in front of the camera! I still look back at our engagement and wedding photos and can't believe that it’s us. Rachel is truly amazing. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her!
Nick + Skye Pastorino
It won’t take you long to see how talented Rachel is as a photographer - as they say, “The proof is in the pudding!” Photography was my number one priority when we started booking vendors- it was/is so important to us to have these memories documented for us to look back on. I met Rachel at the Booking House bridal show and we instantly clicked. My husband is a very quiet and reserved man - we’re both not huge fans of being the center of attention, so we wanted someone who would be able to capture both of us exactly as we are and help guide us through the awkwardness of never being in front of a camera. Asking Rachel to be our photographer was the absolute BEST decision we could have made. During our engagement shoot - she just “got” us right away, from our vibe to our humor. It didn’t feel like we were having a stranger take our photos - it instantly just felt like friends hanging out. She’s the perfect mixture of fun & professionalism- this gal KNOWS what she's doing. She was our cheerleader throughout the entire planning process- every time we would send little updates to one another she was genuinely excited for us & on the day of the wedding she came right up to me and gave me a big hug(probably realizing that’s exactly what I needed at the moment she’s that intuitive!). She started snapping right away and kept checking up on me and my girls, making sure if we needed absolutely anything. Again - her work speaks for itself, she has a gift + we’re lucky she is sharing it the world. Everyone is blown away by our photos. So, jump at the opportunity to work with Rachel because you’ll not only receive amazing results- you’ll get the most wonderful friend as well. Planning your wedding should not be stressful and you should be oozing happiness on your day and I believe the BEST way to accomplish that is by surrounding yourself with GOOD people & Rachel is 100% that!

Drew + Tory DeMaio
Rachel’s work is absolutely incredible! Her unique photography style was what drew us to her in the first place, but we never could have imagined how perfectly she captured out day. In addition, she was a pleasure to work with and answered all of my MANY questions. One of my biggest asks was to take pictures ahead of time so we could enjoy our family and friends at the wedding. Rachel not only made that happen, but also unobtrusively captured the most unique and evocative pictures we could ever hope for! We cannot wait to work with her again in the future.
Zach + Jena Altland
5 starts aren’t enough for Rachel! She photographed our elopement in Wyoming and she was the BEST DECISION we made. She went above and beyond for my husband and I. She had sent us so many location options for our ceremony, first look, portrait shots, etc. She was there for us and quick to answer any questions I had (and I had a lot.)
Our parents came along for the elopement and they could not stop talking about how wonderful she was. The pictures turned out AMAZING - and we had sneak peeks in less than 24 hours! Our wedding day was a dream come true and it 100000% could not have happened without Rachel.
Tony + Marissa Epifano
Oh, Rachel Ruhl. You are a girls dream come true. Honestly, people, this lady is hands-down the most gifted photographer I’ve ever met. There’s no need to look further. If you’ve found yourself on her page - do yourself a favor and just book her already! She will not only capture the most intimate and special moments of your life - far beyond your wildest expectations, but you’ll gain a friend in the process.
Rachel’s passion for her work and clients is obvious + truly unmatched. She has this authentic way of making it all so fun and easy. She’s the Yoda of photography. Even my husband was in disbelief at how much he enjoyed himself when in front of her camera. We had the time of lives there - and it shows in the photos. She’s pure magic.
We didn’t think it was possible to top the engagement photos, but she did! Our wedding photos are pure fire. We cried happy tears as we went through each one,. It allowed us to relive the most precious moments all over again. We’re stoked to fill the walls of our home with all this beauty and love.
What makes Rachel even cooler is that, despite what curveballs the world throws your way as you plan you big day - Rachel won’t let it come between you and your dreams. I can promise you that. She’s dedicated to you and will do what it takes to turn your vision to reality.
JP + Jenny Leonard
I knew from the moment I spoke with Rachel that she was the perfect photographer for us. In fact, we scheduled our wedding around her availability. When the pandemic hit - Rachel was terrific to work with through the canceling of our first wedding date and rescheduling to the new one. She ensured us that everything would be okay and she would make it work no matter what.
She took time to check in with us through the difficult months of waiting for our new date to arrive arrive - always reassuring us that she was there for us and asking if there was anything she could do to help, There are simply no words to express our gratitude for Rachel + showcasing her artistic talent - and she impeccably captured unforgettable memories on our wedding day.
She helped us in any way she could to keep our day running smoothly - allowing us to simply enjoy the day; taking on many roles when she felt it necessary - all while keeping a low profile. She even went out of her way to capture moments with family that were unable to join the party due to cover.
Our wedding day is over, but we will always be reminded of how special our day was, as Rachel captured all those unbelievable moments.
Vince + Carolyn Ewing
I knew I wanted to hire Rachel as soon as I clicked on her instagram. Her pictures are absolutely stunning and capture the moodiness my fiancé and I were looking for.
I told her straight up that I am in no way a model and awkward AF in front of the camera. She hung out with us before our engagement session and made us feel SO comfortable and relaxed - and we actually had a ton of fun - when before I had dreaded being in front of the camera.
On our wedding day, she was easily able to wrangle our 16-person bridal party and still manage to capture unbelievable photos. My friends loved her, my mom hasn’t stopped raving about her and my husband and I feel lucky enough to now call her a friend.
I can be a bit indecisive, but there was no questioning my decision to book Rachel. If you’re thinking about it - do it.
Cody + Kait Miele
Rachel is the crème de la crème! Hiring her as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Not only is her work stunning, but throughout the whole process, she treats you more like a friend than a client.
She displays professionalism while remaining “down to earth” putting myself, my husband and our whole wedding party at ease. We are absolutely in-love with all the photos she captured at our wedding. When I look at them, I remember exactly how I was feeling in that very moment. Im’ so happy we chose Rachel as our photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough!
Pat + Megan Gallagher
Working with Rachel has been fantastic! She has such an amazing reputation within the local wedding industry. Every time of of my vendors found out who our photographer was, they quite literally let out a sigh of relief. They all love working with her and trust her immensely! I didn’t spend a single second of my wedding day worried about our schedule because I knew we were in good hands.
I promise you’ll be relaxed and your pictures will be all the better because of it!
Zach + Abby Smith
We honestly could not have asked for a better photographer! I got so many recommendations for Rachel when I was finding a photographer and now I can see why! She captured every aspect of our special day! We had so much fun with her during our engagement session and she makes you feel so comfortable. She created pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! She’s such a genuine person with amazing talent and we were so lucky to have her! She’s a must have for your big day!
Matt + Laura McGrath
“Where do I even start except to tell you to that Rachel is the BEST? She was the first and only photographer I reached out to. When I saw her photos on her social media pages - I knew in my heart she would be the perfect photographer for us because Rachel doesn't just take a pretty picture; she captures the moment. When I look at her photos, I can hear the laughter and feel all the emotions and joy in them - I'm taken right back to the moment and get to live it all over again. We live in Maryland and Rachel made the trip down from PA for our engagement photos and it was on that day I began to consider Rachel a friend. She stayed and hung out with us at our favorite local brewery long after our photos were done and we got to know each other outside of the client vendor relationship. And that is what makes Rachel so amazing. Looking at her photos, it is clear that she is unbelievably creative and talented but beyond that, she is an incredible person - kind, humble, genuine and funny who goes above and beyond! The night before our wedding, I received a text from Rachel letting me know we were going to have a sunny day for a (fingers crossed) golden hour and that she'd been on google maps looking for places to take pictures with our vintage Porsche 911 we were borrowing for the weekend. The day of our wedding, she was so calm organized and took charge of a large bridal party without issue. She even poured me a bourbon to sip on while I got my hair and makeup done - a girl after my own heart! We can't thank Rachel enough for all she did to capture our wedding so perfectly but also for being our friend!”
Tom + Maggie Matisak
I found Rachel when looking on the Knot for the perfect photographer for our wedding. Rachel checked all of our boxes - but little did we know, she would exceed all of our expectations! She’s an absolute delight to work with.
She’s a hard worker, prompt, professional, reliable, trustworthy and loads of fun! She loves to get to know her couples - and it shows.
Rachel was able to capture the love and excitement of our wedding - as well as the sweet moments with our friends and family. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for the most memorable moments of our lives.
Derek + Alyssa Landis
If you want a photographer who instantly becomes a best friend, than Rachel is your girl! From beginning to end, Rachel was there every step of the way to somehow envision what you can’t describe on paper. She somehow says what you want to say and it makes the process a little bit easier! Without us even knowing, she managed to capture huge milestones if our lives. IF A SECOND MARRIAGE WAS IN MY FUTURE (ok this made me LOL), Rachel would be my first phone call. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she becomes a lifelong friend! I don’t think you can go wrong with choosing her!
Russ + Katie Kreider
“I really don't even know where to start with Rachel! She recently did our wedding - and when I say she made our day perfect - I am not exaggerating. Our wedding day was the first time that she photographed us, and I was slightly nervous that we would be nervous in front of the camera. Rachel made us feel so relaxed and ourselves, while having so much fun taking pictures. She is the kind of person who can get along with anyone and everyone. Rachel made me feel like a million bucks on our wedding day, and was down for literally anything. At one point we were jumping over a creek, climbing over a fence, or walking through a field of tall grass. She went above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed of for my wedding. I know we will continue to use her for literally anything and everything we possibly can! My sister already has her graduation pictures booked with her. A word of advice to anyone getting married: YOU NEED TO HIRE HER! You will not regret it, I promise! She will make your wedding day or any big event in your life! I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication to us! I cannot say enough good things about her. Just hire her.”

“Rachel is amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew she was a perfect fit for our photographer. She is so fun, easy-going and she makes you feel so comfortable as she’s taking your pictures. Both our engagement and wedding pictures have turned out stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our photos!”
Kyle + Kayla Lynch
“Rachel is absolutely amazing! My husband hates getting his picture taken, but Rachel was so down-to-Earth and made the whole thing so easy and comfortable! Throughout the entire process, she always responded timely to any questions I had and she made sure to get all the little details of the wedding that were so important. On the day of our wedding, she was helpful, cheerful and made taking photos stress free! My husband and I are beyond thrilled about our pictures! We highly recommend her - there isn’t a better photographer around!”
Adam + Brandi Wlodarczyk
“Rachel is a true artist and it is SO obvious that she loves what she does. My pictures (from the engagement shoot - to the big day) were out of this world - I'm talking magazine-worthy! Along with her being an amazing photographer, having her around brought me such peace because I knew without a doubt that she would handle anything that came up and she would go above and beyond to get the perfect shot!”
Marty + Sarah Grimm
“Let me tell you about Rachel!! After meeting my husband and I once, she made a trip ALLL the way to the beach with us to capture our dream engagement photos. When we thought our engagement photos could not be any better we laid eyes on our wedding photos and WOW ❤️ Rachel’s talent is unmatched, she brought a sense of calmness to our wedding day and because of her we can relive all the feelings of that day through our photos for the rest of our lives! I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel for any moment you want captured.”
JC + Courtney
Rodriguez
“Not only is Rachel an extremely talented and creative photographer, but a beautiful person inside and out. She is so wonderful to work with and will go out of her way to take stress off of her clients. Booking Rachel for our wedding was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. She was always easy to get ahold of, willing to give suggestions/advice, and treats every client like a close friend. I would 110% recommend Rachel every time.”
Tim + Lauren
Ridewood
“BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!! If you are looking for someone that is laid back, but takes control and creates beautiful photos, Rachel is your girl! I don't even know where to begin with how impressed I was with her. She went above and beyond for our engagement photos & wedding photos and I couldn't be happier! I mentioned to her that I would love a flower crown for our engagement photos and she got the items and created one herself for me! Our wedding day was very unique and had torrential downpours, but she was there for me - not only as a photographer, but as someone that was able to keep me calm when I was clearly upset about all of the rain. She would place us where it was dry and she, herself, would be in the rain to get some AMAZING shots!! Every single person commented about how beautiful our photos were! I can't even imagine my wedding day without her there!!! Not only did all of my wedding party love her, but so did ALL of my vendors! She is so easy to work with and makes things so fun!”
Brian + Heidi Reed
“Rachel is amazing. From the first meeting to the engagement shoot, where she put up with our anxious dog and got fantastic shots despite our uneasiness in front of the camera; to the wedding, where she provided a calm presence, yet was authoritative when she needed to direct the show. I highly recommend Rachel for any event where you want your personal, unique story to be captured. Rachel was a true professional, timely in returning our albums, and her work speaks for itself.”
Adam + Gabrielle
Dohner
"Rachel was recommended to me by a family member who had her for her own wedding. I instantly fell in love with her photos. I knew I wanted THE BEST pictures of our wedding day to look back on, forever. Rachel was the absolute best to work with! She was very responsive, and so easy to work with. She even made pictures enjoyable for my husband! You could tell she really loves what she does! I would highly recommend Rachel Ruhl Photography to anyone looking for outstanding work."
Travis + Kiley Fisher
"We cannot sing enough praises about Rachel - she is AMAZING and we definitely picked the BEST! There were so many parts of our wedding day that went so smoothly because of Rachel's help and willingness to do whatever was necessary in the moment. Not only are her photographs absolutely stunning, but Rachel herself is a true gem! She is flexible, dependable, fun, creative, engaging and a blast to work with!"
Hunter + Allison
Anderson
"Everyone needs a Rachel Ruhl. She was by far the easiest and best decision we made when picking vendors for our wedding! Your photos will be in excellent hands with Rachel and you seriously will not be disappointed on how your photos turn out!"
Matt + Kristen Capion
"My husband and I were recently married on June 30, 2018 and Rachel was our photographer. A coworker told me about Rachel and when I looked her up I absolutely adored her photos. The lighting of her photos is amazing and it definitely is what caught my attention when looking up her work. She knows how to capture the perfect moment and manages to get the light at just the right angle to create a breathtaking photograph. Beyond that, she was very accommodating, professional, and listened to what my husband and I wanted in terms of photographs taken during the wedding. She went above and beyond on the wedding day by helping the guys to attach their boutonnieres, carrying the signs I wanted in photographs, fixing my hair on a 105+ degree day, and encouraging the guests to dance when it was 80 degrees in the barn and the dance floor was empty. I can't say enough about Rachel. We highly recommend Rachel Ruhl Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Rachel did a fabulous job and we are so happy with our choice for our wedding photographer. We will cherish them for a lifetime!"
Jase + Amanda
Martin
"I cannot say enough good things about Rachel. My husband, bridal party, family and friends all LOVED working with her. We received nothing but compliments and our photos are stunning. When we were searching for our vendor team, we were introduced to Rachel by her sister-in-law, Vanessa, with Monark Films. I met with Vanessa and Rachel for a meet and greet at a coffee shop and easily fell in love with them. They are confident in their abilities and they are detail-oriented. For our engagement session, our photos were weather-dependent. We wanted an outdoor, winter wonderland shoot. Rachel was amazing! Checking the weather consistently and being extremely flexible to meet us. We finally found a snowy day and met at a local ski resort. She was so hands on, had amazing ideas and was willing to get "down and dirty" in the snow/mud to ensure no branch was out of place. To have a stranger care so much about capturing your personalities and love... is so special. On our wedding day Rachel was everywhere at once. She did not miss a moment. We are so thankful we found her and so happy with our photos."
Ricky + Erin Birney
"I saw photos Rachel previously did of a friend of mine and instantly fell in love with her photography. By seeing all of her work, I knew the pictures would be amazing, but she completely blew past my expectations when she photographed our wedding in March. She captured details and emotions that now I can look back on forever. Everyone can see how amazing her photography is, but I feel so blessed to have had the privilege of meeting and working with her. Rachel's energy rubbed off on everyone and made everyone at the wedding smile. She's truly an amazing person and does such breathtaking photography."
Casey + Katie Weaver
"Rachel is amazing! So helpful and talented in her ideas and photography creations! She will make you feel like you're in a magazine. You won't find a photographer this good anywhere. I will always go to Rachel for my pictures."
Justen + Rachel Braddock
"Rachel is absolutely AMAZING! I was so worried about finding a photographer who would capture all of the little details and candid moments like I always pictured.. and Rachel truly outdid herself. She took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and completely understood my vision and made it come to life. From our engagement session to our wedding day, I could not have been any happier with how our photos turned out. She managed to capture all of the details even I didn’t notice the day of the wedding. Rachel is so easy and upbeat to work with, and makes the whole process very enjoyable. You’ll even find that your man will enjoy the photo shoots.. even though that’s hard to imagine! We will most definitely be using Rachel for any photos we need done in the future and I HIGHLY recommend her for any special occasion you want to remember forever!"
Gaz + Jessie Davies
"Rachel is truly amazing. She captures more than just moments....she captures connection, love and everything in between. We met over coffee to discuss what my vision for our big day was and to say she nailed it is an understatement. Her vibe as a professional and person made me feel calm and taken care of on our wedding day...I did not stress at all about making sure those perfect shots were captured! Rachel caught all the tiny details that I hoped everyone would notice at our wedding and more. We will cherish our memories forever!"
Josh + Valerie Gray
"Other than marrying my husband, picking Rachel was the best decision we made. She went over and beyond her job description and her work was more than amazing. My husband isn't the photo type and he said that he enjoyed taking the photos with Rachel and her second shooter, Vanessa. She got photos I didn't know were being taken and we had fun on the ones we knew of! She was up for taking a gator ride to go offsite and then to go get some photos with our fur baby - you can't get it much better than that! When friends say they wish they had your photographer, you know you made the right decision."
Barb + Tori Beadling
"My wife and I could not have been happier with our choice for a wedding/engagement photographer. Rachel is the best. She does everything she can to get the best shots and picks the coolest places for shoots, as well. She is determined and passionate and truly there for you through the whole process. By the end of your wedding day she will be a friend and not just your photographer."
Joe + Ashlea Pietrobone
"Where to start? Rachel is an AMAZING photographer, professional and now friend (from the moment my husband and I met her I knew we would end up being friends!) She is so down to earth and makes you feel comfortable and confident while she is capturing real and raw moments. Her work is absolutely beautiful. I am so incredibly happy with how our engagement and wedding pictures turned out - they look like they should be in a magazine! Afterwards, she sent the most thoughtful and adorable gift along with our photos. I cannot wait for her to capture our next adventure!"
Bryan + Rebecca
Thomson
"Our experience with Rachel for wedding photography was the most amazing experience! From the very first meeting with Rachel, I could tell how much passion she had for her career and you can see that passion in every photo she takes! Rachel took the time to meet with us several times to talk about all of the details of our day and followed through with everything talked about in each meeting. She is sure to make your experience personal. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for the most relaxed, high quality photography experience!"

"If you want a photographer who is skilled, personable, organized, talented, kind, honest, and passionate about making your photos fantastic, look no further! Rachel doesn't just take photos for you, she captures the moment you're living; the emotion, the light, the movement, textures, mood, surroundings. She sees beautiful things around you and somehow she's able to bring them into the photo to make exquisitely composed images. She is personable, efficient, friendly, genuine, detail oriented and managed our bridal party in a seamless and succinct manner. She was a supportive and calm voice throughout the wedding process and by the day of our wedding she felt like another friend there as our bridal party got ready. Our friends and family are still raving about Rachel's work, and we will treasure the images she captured for years to come. Having Rachel do our engagement and wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made and are so grateful for the work, time, talent, and heart she puts into every session. If you want someone to make you feel relaxed and comfortable, who is passionate about her work,extremely talented and hardworking, look no further! I cannot wait to have Rachel one day do a maternity shoot, newborn shoot, family pictures, etc.! She is someone I want capturing all the important moments of our lives from here on out."

"Rachel was absolutely amazing! Honestly, there are no other words for her. I was so nervous picking two things for our wedding: a photographer and makeup artist. One failed and - it was by far not Rachel!
Our pictures are everything I dreamt they could be and more! She brought out every detail, characteristic and personality of our special day while making it extremely fun. We were open for anything, which lead to trampoline pictures, goats and races!
She was always able to capture our love, our families love and the beauty of the landscape around us. We cannot thank her enough, or have picked a better photographer! She is amazing and we will forever pass on her name when someone asks us who we would suggest."

"I can say with 100% honesty that Rachel was the best vendor to work with while coordinating my wedding. While I was frazzled tracking down the other vendors during the planning months, Rachel was right there checking in to see where my thoughts were for the upcoming day.
She also kept in contact with our venue to ensure everything went smoothly on the wedding day. Rachel was excellent at keeping everything on schedule and had just the right comments to extract the facial expressions she was aiming for.
My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding photos and I could go on and on about the great service Rachel provided us on our wedding day!"
