Rachel Girouard Photography

l!!!!!!

t we know would be at each wedding. We booked Rachel back in 2020, and she made the planning process as easy as possible for us, always willing to answer any random question we had! Day of, Rachel and Nicole were a ray of sunshine. We all had some pre-wedding jitters, and they were both so easy and comfortable to work with. They worked with the wedding party on the poses, worked with the venue on everything so we did not have to worry, and made sure to capture those extra little moments. With the photos we have seen so far (we got married 6/4/22), we know that every single moment captured is going to be amazing!

her process, answered all of our questions, and provided a proposed timeline for the day of, which was a huge help when coordinating with our venue and other vendors for planning and scheduling. We truly could not recommend Rachel enough. She is so supportive, kind, and personable. On top of that, she is incredibly prompt, which is so important when dealing with timely wedding planning decisions and general wedding planning stresses. After every interaction with Rachel, a wave of calm came over us; she just gets it and has that effect on people. She uses simple cues to guide poses, which come out fantastic – from the not-so-posed posed shots, to the candids, and everything in between. While all the wedding day details are super important, the day does go by in a flash, and the images that are captured will last a lifetime. It was so important to us to not only have beautiful wedding images, but to connect with our photographer as well. We feel that we’ve been able to do that tenfold with Rachel. We raved about her throughout our entire wedding planning process and everyone could see why – from our engagement shoot photos to meeting her on the wedding day and seeing the gorgeous preview photos she’s shared. We are so lucky to have crossed paths and now have a photographer (and friend) for life!

because we didn’t want to be awkward in front of the camera and our wedding photos meant so much to us. We would also be spending most of our wedding day with her and wanted someone we felt comfortable with. We had other meetings with other photographers lined up but after our meeting with Rachel we canceled those other meetings and knew we wanted her to be our photographer. Rachel communicated very well via email and she was even there for me when I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do throughout my wedding planning process. She hopped on the phone with me and gave great advice and always made me feel better. She really did become our friend leading up to the wedding and after. Rachel also did our engagement session and guided us through all the poses. She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with her. Even though it was foggy and a little rainy that day she still took beautiful photos and literally had our album ready the next day! Leading up to the wedding she helped me with the day of wedding timeline which was very helpful to keep everything moving smoothly. Rachel has such a calming presence to her and took such beautiful photos on our wedding day. We received them in a timely manner as promised. She also helped us make a wedding album which was also delivered in a timely manner and was beautiful. We will forever treasure these photos and hope to work with Rachel again in the future! We highly recommend Rachel Girouard Photography! You will not regret it!

for our engagement session and then at our TWO weddings (thanks to the pandemic). She was so helpful in figuring out even the timeline of our wedding day and helping us to figure out which pictures would be important to capture. She was so patient and kind, but also made sure we received truly amazing photos. She was also flexible in helping us to figure out how much time we needed for our mini-wedding in 2020 and our big wedding in 2021. We love all of our photos, its hard to pick a favorite! Thank you Rachel for all you have done to capture our wedding in such a beautiful way!

s that Covid caused. She really made things easy for us and our day with her felt calm and seamless. Throughout our wedding planning process she was also super thoughtful and would check in unexpectedly from time to time with sweet notes, gifts or cards. Rachel is truly such a kind person and we look forward to working with her for our future photography needs! I promise you will LOVE her and the magic she creates. If bright and airy is your vibe - book her!

was especially important to us (other than taking beautiful photos!) - we wanted a photographer who we felt comfortable with. Someone who we would enjoy having around on the most important day of our lives, during getting ready photos with our wedding party, first looks, exchanging vows, first dances. Rachel captured all of these intimate moments and more with the most stunning photos and her sweet, calming presence made our day go so smoothly. Rachel is a true professional. Not only is she a talented photographer and a pleasure to work with, but she kept us on track all day and night with the detailed timeline she put together in advance of our wedding day. Her and her second shooter Nicole put all of our friends and family at ease in front of the camera, and beautifully captured the love and happiness we were all feeling that day. We would recommend Rachel to anyone & everyone!

due to the pandemic, but bringing Rachel on board changed everything for us. Talking to her was enjoyable and she made us begin to enjoy wedding planning again. She was flexible, kind, and was exactly the person we needed at such a difficult time. On the big day, she was organized and prompt and made our entire day flow smoothly. I didn't realize how important a photographer is when it comes to your wedding. They essentially control the entire day, so you want to make sure you're working with a true professional. Rachel was able to get every single photo we wanted taken, had everyone together, and was done before we were scheduled to be. This meant that we could go and enjoy our wedding! Rachel's second shooter, Nicole was phenomenal as well. Both were so kind and flexible and really made it a fun experience. Fast forward to our photos, let me just say they are beyond stunning. I look through our album multiple times a week since March. They were exactly what we wanted. We had all of our formal photos, family group photos, and candids from the day. There were black and whites too (which are my favorite!). So so many of our guests, kept asking about Rachel. Many had said that they wished they had her when their son/daughter/sister/brothers were married. They could not believe how organized, timely, professional, and fun she was. Her photos were so amazing, I didn't regret not booking a videographer. Our photos are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and all of that is because of Rachel. We cannot thank her enough. She turned the start of really stressful wedding planning, into something enjoyable and fun. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. Rachel is what many young up and coming photographers should aspire to be like, a true professional.

b during covid with absolute strength and grace. She treated us with so much respect and pure kindness during that time. Her patience, understanding, and thoughtfulness every step of the way truly demonstrated that she deeply cares about her clients and whole heartedly loves her job. Her work ethic is incredible- we had two engagement sessions done with her prior to our wedding and received our photos well before we would have ever expected to receive them. Not to mention, the photos were PERFECT. Her work is stunning- if you love light, airy and natural photos, Rachel is your gal. The warmth you feel looking at her photos is exactly the warmth you will feel when working with her. On our wedding day, she was calm, organized, and timely. She was met with the task of getting all of our photos completed before it down poured for the rest of the evening- and she did just that. She managed to keep our photos moving right along, and we finished RIGHT before it stormed for the rest of the evening. She even brought umbrellas for us just in case we needed them. Rachel truly impressed us every step of the way, and we whole heartedly mean it when we say we recommend her to anyone and everyone. We have a lifelong beautiful friend and photographer, and we can’t wait to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Rachel! We love you! ~The McNairs

and we felt so comfortable with her like we had known each other for years. She has such a great eye for details in each photograph and makes sure people in the photos look fantastic. She is beyond professional and a joy to spend your day with!

in our mailbox. I explained that we weren’t the typical bride/groom and really just wanted to have a party, where we happen to get married. She was communicative and clear without being pushy or overbearing. On the actual day, she was on time, professional, kind, and everyone commented how nice it was to not have a photographer who rushed us. She captured so many perfect moments, and she’s amazing at getting those candid photos-which is what I really wanted. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job! In the event we ever need formal photos again, she is the only one I would trust.

l. Her work ethic superb. Her attitude and overall nature is amazing. You will absolutely love working with her. She is not just out to sell a product. She genuinely cares for you and wants your day to be amazing. She is the unicorn of wedding photographers and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Planning a wedding is a Herculean task to begin with and decisions are made left and right. My wife and I could not be happier with our decision to go with Rachel. She receives our highest endorsement and we will definitely be seeking her out in the future! Thank you so so much Rachel!

the whole night and ensured we got all of the photos that we wanted. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!

witch to her. With all the stress of having a wedding during Covid, Rachel took care of everything for us and I didn't have to worry about all the details and I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. She was extremely knowledgeable and communicative and the photos came out amazing! They are absolutely stunning and we are thrilled!

rescheduled for September. Rachel was very flexible with these changes and responsive to all of our calls and emails (even with a new baby!). She is great at giving direction and posing, which not only makes for great pictures but is so important for making sure the process moves along smoothly and we stick to our timeline of events! We received our wedding pictures in less than 6 weeks and she even walked us through the process of ordering prints. We are so happy with how our pictures came out! I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone!

ck with her. After looking at her work, I had goosebumps. Our engagement shoot with her was so fun, she made us feel like family. We love EVERY single picture from the shoot and it only made us even more excited for our wedding. I have had so many friends and family members comment on how amazing her pictures are. Planning a wedding during a pandemic cause many bumps in the road, and Rachel was always there for us. I was so happy to see her on my wedding day! She is so thorough and finds a way to capture every beautiful and intimate moment. After my wedding, my husband and I both agreed that she was one of the best choices we made!

ar to our engagement shoot. She made taking photos the day of our wedding so much fun, and frankly it was one of my favorite parts of the day. She was able to deliver our pictures to us in less than 8 weeks (even during the craziness of holiday season) and we have been THRILLED with the pictures. They are absolutely beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our day, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

he is in close contact with you up until the wedding day, making sure all the details are in order for a stress free day! On our wedding day, she knows how to keep things moving, make everyone feel comfortable, and is very creative! Rachel is one of the main reasons our wedding day went so flawlessly! Rachel provides little sneak peaks up until her preview album is released, which provided us with 150+ amazing pictures only 2 weeks after the wedding! 6 weeks later, we got spoiled with over 1500 pictures in total from our wedding, every single picture just absolutely perfect! I feel so thankful we found Rachel to capture the BEST day of our lives, we cannot thank her enough for her incredible work and new friendship!

obably sent Rachel a million emails with questions. She was so good with responding and answering all our questions and putting our minds at ease. She took both our stunning engagement and wedding photos. We were both so nervous and had no idea what to expect being in front of the camera, but Rachel guided us through the process and told us exactly what to do and made the entire process so much fun! For our wedding day, she created a timeline for us ensuring that we had enough time to capture each of our photos, which ended up being spot on, on the big day! In addition, she had a list with her of all the pictures we wanted to capture that she used as her guide to verify no photos were missed. We were really impressed by her professionalism. She even made sure we stayed hydrated during our photo session. We received several compliments from our guests on how both Rachel and her second shooter, Lilly, handled our pictures as we asked her to take several large group photos. She’s really good in capturing individual shots as well as large groups, including all of our wedding guests in one photo!! She’s also really great in capturing candid shots for those special treasured moments. After reviewing all our photos, I was so surprised that she was able to capture the 2 second moment of me showing off my wedding ring to my husband, or the moment of me laughing and my mother in tears. Working with Rachel was a great pleasure, she constantly kept us updated on the process of our photos and is full of surprises along the way. I would tell you what they were, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise 😉 Guess you will have to find out yourself. I suggest you start off by viewing her beautiful work on her Instagram account and shoot her email. In a few days, you might find yourself having coffee with her, discussing your photo contract, and then months later after your wedding still keeping in touch talking about your honeymoon 😊 Thank you Rachel, we are so happy that we chose you to be part of our special day!

and it felt more as if working with a friend than a vendor. She made us feel like she was photographing her own friends and family rather than a client and we are so grateful to have had her as a part of our day!

e and time again and she has never disappointed. Her personality is warm, bubbly and super sweet. She’s fast with sending galleries and has been nothing but amazing. The only regret I have is that I didn’t find her sooner when I was getting married.
