Rachel Joy Barehl

Rachel is an incredible artist and visionary. My husband and I met her for our engagement photos in the fall, and we absolutely loved the experience. She made that experience fun and simple, and then provided us with beautiful pictures quite quickly afterwards. As Rachel notes on her website, her service is an investment, and though it's quite the cost, we felt that it was absolutely worth it. Plus she provides you with all of your pictures on a disk, and gives you full rights to the pictures, allowing you to do whatever you like with them, and they are without her name written across all of them, like most photographers do. As long as you allow her to use the pictures for marketing reasons, and give her photography credit when posting the pictures to social media, you can do whatever you want with them. After having such a great experience with Rachel for our engagement pictures, we knew we wanted to have her for our wedding photographer. She was understanding of our budget and offered a payment plan to make the payments simpler. She met with us before the wedding to make a timeline of the day, and was open to our ideas and noted what meant most to us. Rachel and her husband, Adam, were fantastic on our wedding day; they were understanding of our time constraints and of our incredible ability to be late almost always. They followed us around all day and found great opportunities to take beautiful shots, and they helped us make the most of every moment. We can't say enough wonderful things about this service. We felt so comfortable with them and appreciated their ability to take what we wanted and make it even more incredible than we expected. We've only received a preview of our wedding photos thus far, but we absolutely cannot wait to see the rest of them. We're confident that they'll be breathtakingly beautiful, and that our happy tears will be flowing non-stop. Rachel also offers other packages that include videography alone, or photography and videography combined. This long-winded review is just to say that Rachel is an absolutely wonderful photographer, and we absolutely would recommend her again and again.

Rachel is amazing! She did our engagement shoot and our wedding photos and video. She knows how to capture every detail and her quality is excellent. Rachel is also so easy to work with. She meets with you before any shoot to see what style the couple is and what their looking for and during the shoot knows exactly how to direct you, but also let's you do what you want, she's all for fun pictures. Even after both our photo times were over she stayed a little longer and just kept capturing the moment, you can tell how much she loves photography. Different price packages are available.
