So amazingly talented!
Where do I even begin? I don’t normally write reviews, unless they’re totally worth writing. Rachel is beyond excellent at what she does in the photography world! She’s down to ear...
th, personable, one of the sweetest and easiest people to talk to on any level, knows all of the tricks to capture the blissful moments you’ll cherish for years to come, and she truly blows me away each and every time she delivers a new gallery. After a dozen or so sessions (engagement, boudoir, rehearsal dinner, wedding, baby shower, maternity x2, maternity boudoir, newborn x2, 1 year old/family pics, mini-fall and Christmas sessions) and counting, Rachel, over the years, has captured so many different sessions for our family, using the most creative abilities and an eye for “the perfect shot” when behind the camera. From hot spot locations, in home, air bnb, various outdoor locations, and studio, Rachel continues to impress me with her ability to deliver only the highest quality no matter what environment she is in. It doesn’t matter what look you’re going for either… romantic, glam, laid back and casual, sultry, or family togetherness, she knows just how to capture all of life’s momentous occasions. In her spare time, she uses unbelievable creativity and thinks outside the box to create the most impressive self portraits on social media, which blow me away each and every time. There’s no person that deserves more kudos and acknowledgement for the amazing work that she does. If you’re thinking about getting that sexy boudoir done for your significant other (or yourself), booking a photographer for your big wedding day, or capturing the sweet essences of your newborn, Rachel is your go to!! If you’re hesitant, just do it, as you won’t regret it. You don’t have to take my word for it; just go look at her Instagram/Facebook pages and see what she’s all about. Love this girl, her heart, and her beautiful works of art.
Rachel, of Brasspenny Photography, did an amazing job of capturing the beauty and the emotions of my son's and daughter-in-law's wedding. She was patient and professional and eve...
n provided us with ten stunning magazine worthy sneak peeks.
I would highly recommend her.
If I could give 10 stars I would!!! My daughter planned her wedding in 10 months and one of the most important things to secure was a photographer. We were so fortunate that Rachel...
was available for "our" special day. From the first meeting until the last photograph was taken, Rachel was fantastic!! At our first meeting she was professional and knowledge, which is exactly what a nervous "soon to be bride" and "mother of the bride needed". Rachel continued to stay in touch with us throughout the months leading up to the wedding. AND she was able to take Malaina's bridal portraits. They were amazing!! It was hard to choose just one to display at the wedding, so we had two! We knew after seeing the bridal portraits, that the wedding portraits we going to be great!!! On the day of the wedding, I/we were so impressed with how Rachel was able to manage a large group and take so many special shoots without taking away from the ceremony. And she also worked the room taking a lot of photographs of our guests, which will be a wonderful memory for years to come for Malaina and Mark.
If you are looking for fantastic wedding portraits from a professional photographer that has a heart for people Rachel is the one for you!!!!!
If I could give Rachel more than 5 stars I would!
My daughter got engaged in April and married in July--not a lot of time to plan and certainly not any time to interview vendors. ...
She found Rachel online and just "signed on the dotted line" as we had so little time to pull this event together.
On the wedding day...this quiet little fairy showed up with her camera and started her job--unobtrusively, without fanfare and totally confident. As the mother of the bride I was hoping for the best (fearing the worst), and praying there would a few good shots.
Little did I know that a few days later we would get a sneak preview of about 5 pictures that would totally answer my prayers. I got my few outstanding pictures and I was happy. I knew these had to be the best of the best.
But I was wrong. Rachel had pulled a rabbit out of a hat and had made her magic happen, Each photo was better than the last...difficult low light reception shots, squirmy kids, hot venue, humility off the charts threatening to cloud her lens...each situation she overcame and provided stellar pictures that look like they came out of a magazine shoot. She captured to perfection not only the traditional line up of family shots but an impromptu picture of of cute 2 year old sneaking off and making his great grandmother giggle! She adapts to any situation and captures the mood to perfection.
Worth noting....we had about 100 guests and she got pictures of EVERY ONE! That was very important to us. Out of the 100s of pictures, there was not a single one with a gray cast or odd lighting. Rachel also has a great eye for positioning people that otherwise don't know where to put there arms or which way to hold their head.
She was timely in her correspondence, prompt, did what she said she was going to do and VERY easy to work with.
I would be happy to answer any further questions....paigejacksam@gmail.com

I first met Rachel at a modeling gig and I've been in love with her ever since. This woman is not only an amazing photographer, but all together an amazing human being! She goes o...
ut of her way to make the situation comfortable and fun while always striving to creativity. So it just made sense for her to shoot my wedding back in April. The photos we got back (enagagement and wedding) were nothing but amazing and my family just adorded her! Rachel is seriously one of the best photographers out there. I highly recommend her for all your photo needs--this woman can do anything!
Rachel is our family photographer and we could not be happier with both her work and her style. We have an extremely active toddler who is next to impossible to photograph but Rach...
el accepted the challenge and made it work beautifully. We are beyond pleased with the results of our session and are planning to hire her for annual sessions to make our family portraits. She is an amazing photographer and a lovely person, we truly enjoyed working with her.
We LOVE Rachel! She took our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, our wedding day pictures, and we just had a mini session for our anniversary. She does such a great job helpi...
ng you to feel comfortable during the photo sessions, she's organized, took time to meet with us before our wedding to explain our option, and our pictures turn out GREAT every time! I could not be more happy with our experiences with her! I HIGHLY recommend her for any photography needs! =)
We met up with Rachel in Iceland for a multi-day "adventure" engagement session, which included traversing mossy lava fields, exploring black sand beaches, and wading through a str...
eam to find a hidden waterfall. The conditions were crazy unpredictable -- often time freezing cold with big gusts of wind and mist -- but Rachel found a way to capture some really AMAZING photos that we love. I was a little nervous before our session, since I'm not one to take many photos of myself and haven't had professional photos in ages, but Rachel is so much fun to work with and really makes you feel comfortable (yes, even in the rain and cold). We are returning to Iceland for our wedding next summer and are of course bringing her along for the ride! I would recommend Brasspenny Photography to anyone looking for a professional and FUN photographer.
Rachel took our newborn photos when our daughter was 2 weeks old. She is AMAZING! Rachel is not only incredibly sweet but also extremely patient. She executed our vision perfectly ...
& we have some of the best pictures documenting such a special time in our lives. Highly, highly recommend Rachel!
Rachel Tenpenny is AMAZING!!! We have thoroughly enjoyed working with her during our engagement and wedding photos and are beyond pleased with how all of our pictures have turned o...
ut! She has captured memories that we will treasure for years to come!

Rachel is amazing. Both myself (the bride) and the groom are not the most comfortable with having our picture taken, and she managed to put us both at ease and capture some truly g...
orgeous photos. The entire bridal party and all the parents loved her. She was respectful of our wishes and our boundaries. When she sent us our album (only two weeks later!!), we were blown away by how perfectly she captured the feeling of our wedding. Her prices are competitive and her talent is top-shelf. Most importantly, she didn't add a drop of day-of stress. Working with her was not just a breeze, it was a delight. And honestly, I can't say enough about the photos. They are breathtaking and really and truly perfect.
