A wedding video is a big investment, and one that can feel like an “extra” at a time of so many expenses. Dress, venue, food, etc - they all last just a day. But the very best thin...
g about your wedding is the feeling of being surrounded by the people you love while declaring your love for your person. Because of our wedding video, we can relive that feeling over and over for the rest of our lives. When I look back on everything we have spent our hard-earned money on, before, during and after wedding season, nothing has ever felt more WORTH IT.
Why? Because Rachel and Madison are so immensely thoughtful and talented. Rachel took the time to meet with us and learn not only about our love story, but about our entire vibe. Unlike other videographers, she did not place a time limit on how much of our day she would spend with us. She worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture every important moment, from putting on my dress to reading our private vows to the dance floor. But she also captured all the little details that were never posed: the old family photos on the wall, the hugs we shared with friends, the little looks of total joy we gave each other in the in-between moments.
When we received our wedding video, we both bawled our eyes out in the best way. It was so *us* in every way, from the words chosen to the music to the story arc. Not only did it show our day, Rachel had weaved in photos and videos from our 13 years together. We had sent them to her at her request, thinking she might show one or two. Instead, she weaved them throughout the video in the most masterful way, making every moment more meaningful because it was rooted in our history. She didn’t just show a day. She showed our entire love story.
When we played the video for our family and friends, they were blown away. Again and again we heard “this is not like any wedding video I have ever seen.” And they were so right.
Rachel and Madison, we can never thank you enough for all of the heart and hard work you put into creating something that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
If you’re thinking of hiring Creative Co, their work will be worth every penny and then some.
Rachel and Madison were INCREDIBLE to work with on top of giving us the best photos we could ever imagine! They were so helpful all day, from helping me use the restroom in my dres...
s to holding my bouquet to making our families and bridal party feel SO comfortable with being photographed. They were efficient with our many family photos and did an amazing job capturing our day!
We are OBSESSED with the dynamic duo that is Madison and Rachel. Their photo editing is so unique and different than anything we saw on the market. They have kind of a moody and ro...
mantic vibe to them, which was exactly what we wanted for our victorian-era venue. Not only are their photos extremely high-quality, but their professionalism is unparalleled. For example, when the date we picked for our free engagement photo session didn't work out, they let us pick a new date and drove 7 hours across the country to do it. They are fun, hip, extremely easy to work with, and most importantly, affordable! Cannot recommend them enough for your wedding!
Truly cannot recommend this dream team enough! Rachel and Madison are so insanely talented and I literally couldn't have dreamt how perfect my engagement photos, wedding photos, an...
d wedding film were! I chose Rachel because her style of photography matched my wedding vision perfectly and I could tell her work was different then your average wedding photography! So creative and so effortlessly perfect. So if you like good vibes, and want to look at your wedding pics almost daily and think, dang is that really me?! Hire Her. As for the video, BEYOND blown away! What they are doing with wedding film is truly innovative and not like your average wedding video at all. I literally have poeple still mention often to me when I am out and about how amazing it was and my wedding was almost 6 months ago! Not to mention the fact these girls are long time friends and you can really tell with the calm and supportive energy and how they fed off each other for ideas and inspiration through out your whole day. Couldnt recommend enough!
Rachel from Creative Co. is the best kind of person. She takes time to get to know her couples and makes them feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is trustworthy, kind, and...
can make you laugh when you need it! Rachel is not only someone I will hire for any future photography needs, she’s also now a friend.
We were lucky enough to fly her to a different city for our engagement shoot, and she spent the day and evening with us visiting our favorite spots. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, and made us feel so special. We are obsessed with the sneak peeks she sent us and cannot wait for the full gallery. Do not hesitate to hire Creative Co. to capture a day you want memories of forever!
Book creative co. I promise, it will be the best thing you do for your wedding! Rach and Maddie are not only incredibly talented with an amazing eye for the perfect shot - they are...
also the best people to spend your day with! They will make you laugh, advocate for you, and ensure you stay focused on the celebrations while they take care of the rest. I can say this because these ladies literally bustled my dress when no one else could remember how to. Having them as part of our day was like inviting an old friend and while that was amazing, the photos they delivered blew us away. I can’t speak more highly of them and their craft. They are nothing short of amazing!
When you start doing your initial budgeting for a wedding, you have to think about where you’re willing to spend the most money. Which things do you cut corners on and where is it ...
worth spending extra? We spoke with married friends and parents who had a wide variety of experiences with their photographers and it quickly became apparent this is one of the places you need to be the most picky. Friends with a bad photographer never wanted to look at their pictures, but the better ones got pulled out once or twice a year, sometimes more.
It’s not just about finding someone you vibe with and who has a good eye. A truly great photographer goes beyond current trends for timeless beauty, knows there’s more to editing than filters, has a deep understanding of angles, lighting, and direction, and is an expert at herding cats. Because no matter how well organized or planned your wedding is, that’s what it’s going to be, herding cats.
Rachel and her assistant Maddison went above and beyond in a number of ways from offering umbrellas when the weather threatened to turn to pulling out her own hair tie for my wife and putting it in a bun when she couldn’t find a bridesmaid quickly. When we pulled out bubble guns on the dance floor, they snapped a few amazing pictures and then ran to grab a cloth so no one would slip.
Even though we had an absolutely amazing wedding coordinator, Rachel and Maddison were with both sides of the wedding party for almost the entire day. They were available whenever needed and invisible when things really got started. And still, less than a week later, we had some initial pre-edit shots that floored us.
Finding someone who wasn’t just okay with LGBT stuff, but was actively advertising it was important to us as we had a fairly diverse wedding party. Rachel and Maddison made us all feel comfortable and gorgeous. The quality of the work is stunning and we’ll both be able to remember the absolute best of the day thanks to their work.
Even if there’s a little sticker shock, trust us, the photographer isn’t somewhere to skimp and, honestly, it’s a steal for what you get from Rachel Beth Creative. Best book her now before she raises rates because she could certainly get away with it.
Rachel’s review
Rachel stood out to my husband and I and we immediately felt that she understood us; and wanted her to capture our engagement and day! She was straight forward wit...
h the kind of work and photos she creates and we felt confident she would provide us with her whole heart. We had a blast during our engagement photo shoot, we laughed and she captured our relationship perfectly. (Not to mention that day it started raining and she reassured us that they would be wonderful!) I also did a boudoir shoot with Rachel and personally I felt changed everything. She is real, raw and passionate for so many things and truly wants to build a relationship with people. She couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable as a women and I am truly grateful I did these photos!! Our wedding day came and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. We have a very large and intense family she did her best to make things happen and move quickly for us. Our wedding photos are just spectacular, she is extremely talented. There are so many that are favorites and honestly so hard to pick some to have printed. My husband and I appreciate everything Rachel did for us throughout our engagement and wedding day! Thank you!!
Rachel’s creativity when it comes to wedding/couples photography is unmatched. We recently got our engagement photos back from her and my jaw hit the dang floor. I am also a photog...
rapher who has second shot with Rachel at her weddings, and I can vouch that she has such passion for her clients. She would literally do anything for anyone with a smile on her face. I have complete trust in her to photograph my wedding (which is coming up in a few short months). Believe me, you won’t regret hiring Rachel as your wedding photographer!
Rachel left us more than happy with the services she provided. From the very beginning, she was eager to meet us and build a relationship with us to make our experience that much ...
better. She was always accommodating and available whenever I had a random question pop up. We are in love with the photographs she captured and will cherish them forever. I also must add that she was an absolute blast to be around at the reception and totally fit right in. I highly recommend you consider her for your big day!
TLDR; Rachel is more than a photographer. She is a hair stylist, vibe checker, artist, and wing woman. She’ll leave you feeling amped up about yourself and your big day!

g Rachel was the best thing I did for my wedding. Not only is she insanely talented at making beautiful photography, but she is incredibly knowledgeable about weddings and keeping you as stress free as possible. When you get Rachel, you get more than a photographer; you get a whole damn entourage! I got married during the heat advisory in July and totally swayed through my hairstyle. Rachel managed to restyle it into a beautiful updo, so I got two hairstyles for my day! She helped fix my bustle when it broke, helped me get drinks since I was so busy, and just all around added an extra level of support that you’re not going to get from anyone else.
Also, on the topic of the horribly hot wedding day, Rachel was incredibly mindful of how long we were outside and kept things moving but still got loads of beautiful pictures. She also managed to make me look dewy and glowing in my photos- not like the overheated, sweaty mess I actually was, haha.
Fast forward a few months, and I worked with Rachel again for a self love/boudoir shoot. Not only was I comfortable despite my body dysmorphia, but I loved the photos I got back. As a newlywed, it was a wonderful set of photos to share with my new husband!
I hope I get to work with Rachel to document the next milestones of our new life together.
Rachel is an amazing photographer and we are so happy we chose her to capture our special day. She exceeded our expectations before, during, and after our wedding. My husband and I...
knew that we wanted our photographer to be able to capture the small, meaningful moments of our wedding in an artistic way, and Rachel did exactly that. Her professionalism and attention to detail was immaculate, and she helped us to be comfortable in front of the camera. From our engagement and wedding photos to a boudoir shoot, Rachel's talent and artistic eye showed. Her work speaks for itself! We will treasure our wedding photographs for life, and we are so happy that we chose Rachel to tell our story!
Rachel was super awesome to work with!! She made us feel super comfortable during our engagement session and put our minds at ease the day of the wedding! She is super laid back bu...

WOWW! Rachel is magical! My fiancé and I put our wedding photos high on our priority list for our special day because they meant a lifetime of memories to look back on. Rachel went...
above and beyond for us not just on our big day but throughout the entire process. It is very apparent that she loves what she does and she is extremely talented. She surrounds herself with amazing people and both times we worked with her (engagement shoot and wedding day) her second shooters were phenomenal! She is THE BEST hype girl and makes you and your entire party feel so comfortable and confident and above all you will have a great time!
Rachel is amazing! Rachel had done our engagement photos in our apartment and made us feel so comfortable when we didn't know what we were doing Mind you, we received the best snea...
k peek THAT night. Our engagement photos were perfect and she was so accommodating to what we wanted ( two different styles of engagement photos). She was also available with so many great recommendations for vendors throughout our engagement process. Fast forward to our wedding day and she saved the day. Rachel got my huge wedding party and family organized giving me all the photos I wanted FAST. She was there for me to get me a drink of water, umbrellas if needed and even helped me bustle my dress. We then received our sneak peek the NEXT day. I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer and highly recommend her and her amazing work.
My fiancé and I met Rachel almost a year before our wedding. I wanted to make sure I found a photographer who could make me feel comfortable in front of a camera as well as someone...
who had an eye for raw, candid moments. What we found in Rachel was exactly that and so much more. We treasure our engagement photos and have fallen in love with our sneak peak photos that we received shortly after our big day. I can’t wait to see all of the shots-I know they will be beautiful. Don’t hesitate and message Rachel Beth Creative!
I don’t even know where to begin! I remember meeting Dec for a coffee to see if he would be a good fit as our wedding day videographer, and I knew immediately he was the one! He wa...
s kind, and had a unique creative vibe. Needless to say, he captured our special day perfectly, and our video told our unique story. He captured every single emotion, and we couldn’t be more pleased. He even made a special in memory ending for my Dad who passed away right before our wedding. Our video is AMAZING! If you’re thinking about hiring him, DO IT! You will not regret it.
Rachel and Dec were amazing with our engagement and wedding photos! They went above and beyond everything we could have hoped for. We were nervous for our photo shoots but they mad...
e us feel very comfortable and the photos turned out awesome. They were great at taking natural organic photos that showcased the emotions and the love between us. They are creative and good people to be around. We were happy to have them on our special day. I have already recommended them to my friends, and would to anyone
Rachel was wonderful to work with and I couldn't have been happier with how our pictures turned out! Her and Dec went above an beyond by saving the day getting clear umbrellas for ...
the bridal party to carry when walking (our ceremony was outside).
Rachel photographed our wedding last July and there is nothing, other than my husband, that are more dear to me about this day. She's was able to perfectly capture the spirit, the ...
very soul of the day. We did a backyard/farm wedding completely put together by friends and family and her pictures show that warmth and love. She was so easy and wonderful to work with- she was like a best friend. My husband is not the most emotional out expressive person, but she made us both feel so comfortable and encouraged that it was easy to get those precious moments. Nothing about our wedding was typical or even very organized and Rachel flawlessly worked with us and made it all come together. We were very blessed to have her and can't wait to work with her, and her husband in the future.
Rachel was absolutely amazing. Having your picture taken for several hours is daunting but she made us feel comfotable. We eloped in Sisters OR and she took us to the perfect spot ...
in the forest for our photos. Rachel is very kind and friendly and she helped make our day very special. You will not regret having her as a photographer!
Rachel was great to work with! Very responsive and helpful. Very professional managing the craziness of family pics the day off. Extremely helpful throughout the process and the...
pics turned out great!
Rachel is an absolute godsend!! She was so fun, and had an amazing way of making my now husband and I just melt into each other’s arms. Her perspective was so gorgeous! Needless to...
say our elopement photos are absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to share our day with!! I still swoon every time I look at our pictures. I 1 million percent recommend her and The Knot!
Rachel photographed our June wedding this past year. My husband and I are, by no means, conventionally "photogenic" folks, so I was really worried about how our pictures would come...
out. Spoiler alert: They were stunning! And if she can make two goofs like us look good, well...it's a testament to her true talent.
It's easy to tell Rachel is passionate about her work. She checked in with us every step of the way (she's the kind of person who just checks in to make sure you are keeping your sanity during the wedding planning process), and made us feel so incredibly comfortable in front of her camera. Her photos truly tell a story, and the moments she captured from our day we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
Rachel is kind, creative, thoughtful, funny, professional, and (did I mention?) incredibly passionate about her work. We went searching for a wedding photographer and left the experience with a friend.
