My husband and I went into the wedding planning process with the mindset that the photographer and venue were our top priorities. We booked Rachel Kate Photography after seeing her...
stunning work on the internet (I did a Google image search of my venue, the Harding Allen Estate). We are so glad we reserved our wedding date on her calendar 10 months in advance! From start to finish, Rachel made the whole process easy and responded to all my questions in a timely fashion. I was also handling a cross-country move from NYC to CA at the same time, so I was pretty stressed from wedding planning, and those details mattered. She even met up with my fiance and I for our engagement shoot close to Christmas because it was the only date we had available before I moved.
We chose to go with the mid-level package that included 8 hours of photography, an engagement shoot, all digital images, plus a guestbook and heirloom wedding album. We got our photos about 6 weeks after the wedding, and we were blown away by the quality. It was important to us that we had a variety of candid shots mixed in with the more formal portraits, and we were very happy with the photos we received. One of my favorite memories was sneaking away during the reception with my husband to take photos at the Harding Allen Estate in the dark—it was so fun! Both Rachel and Matt (the second shooter) made us feel relaxed, and most importantly, they were so unobtrusive during the ceremony and “getting ready” photos that I barely noticed they were there.
If you are looking for high-quality photography work and also someone who makes you feel like a cared-for client, look no further than Rachel! We would recommend her highly to our friends and anyone getting married in the Massachusetts area!
Rachel, my darling rachel. She is not not only an extremely talented photographer but such a cool, fun person to hang out with. I booked Rachel because she had done my friend's ...
weddings in prior years and they all raved about her. Our engagement shoot was probably the windiest day of the year but Rachel took some of my absolute favorite pictures ever. We had no idea how they would come out with the weather not being on our side but she literally works magic. She is so fun and light hearted you just want to be her best friend. She makes you feel so comfortable. For my wedding day she was able to rally 12 groomsmen for pictures. Umm, with that bunch it seems impossible but she did it! She was an absolute joy to work with and I can't wait to see the magic she makes on our wedding photos. Thank you rachel for being simply amazing and our new best friend!
If there is one piece of advice I can pass along to future brides it is to BOOK RACHEL KATE PHOTOGRAPHY ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! The entire wedding process is exciting but can be very str...
essful as well. Early on I picked the top three things that were most important to me for my own wedding, photography was on that list. I did countless hours of research and wasn’t loving what I saw and everyone seemed to be very overpriced in my opinion for what I was seeing... until I came across Rachel. From the moment I saw her work on her website, I knew I had to have her be a part of my big day. THIS WOMAN IS INCREDIBLE. I don’t know how many times I can say this in this review but she is beyond amazing. Not only is her work fabulous but she is fabulous. Not only do I love all of my engagement photos but I am so in love with every single one of my wedding photos – I didn’t even know it was possible to love that many photos. Let’s be honest, unless you are Gisele being in front of the camera isn’t necessarily comfortable or natural feeling, add in trying to be lovey dovey in public and you have the opportunity to become really uncomfortable very quickly. Rachel was able to have myself and my husband be in our most natural state where we felt comfortable and our pictures did not look uncomfortable. I loved that we got to meet her for our engagement session first because it really helped us create a stronger bond but she is so sweet you will automatically connect with her even if it your wedding is the first time. She is so responsive throughout the process and it felt like having one of my best friends help me plan the wedding. That was very important to me – not only does she produce beautiful pictures but it feels like you have a best friend walking around with you at the wedding, laughing and joking and getting the very best out of you. I had a few ideas of where and what I wanted for the wedding photos but in the end it is a busy day and just told Rachel to “boss” us around – she is so great at getting people into the right place and making sure we were on time all while having us in the right light. She will do anything for the perfect shot and I love that about her!!!! Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning – I have had random people send me messages inquiring about our wedding photography. I cannot thank this woman enough for all that she did to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. I wish I could carry her around in my pocket on a daily basis – her personality shines which allows you to shine on your big day! Side note: My husband was a pain about wedding details and he ADORED Rachel and says she is the best he has ever seen. She is so professional yet so personable which is the perfect blend for an important aspect of your wedding day. WE LOVE YOU RACHEL!!!!!!
If it was possible to rate someone higher than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat for Rachel. I honestly think the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process wa...
s securing her as our photographer. Capturing the best photos of our wedding day was at the top of my priority list, and Rachel far exceeded our expectations. I still cry when I look at all of our pictures! In addition to being an absolute genius at what she does, Rachel is also hilarious, funny and someone I am fortunate to now call my friend. As you can tell from all of her reviews on The Knot, everyone loves both her and her work. I wasn't living locally when I first contacted with Rachel but immediately felt at ease knowing she would be by our side on the wedding day. When we finally did meet in person on the day of our engagement shoot, I knew we had made the right decision. She has a wonderful eye for detail and captures moments you don't even remember happened. Rachel spent time listening to the type and style of photos I was looking for (for both the engagement and wedding) and absolutely nailed it. On top of her amazing photography skills, she was also so helpful during the planning process - she was extremely responsive to my questions and was very happy to recommend other vendors she has worked with, which made my life so much easier. I can't thank Rachel enough for our amazing wedding photos and am so looking forward to having her capture all of the other important moments in our life for many, many years to come.
Rachel Buckley is genius at what she does! We hired her for our daughter's wedding recently and there are not enough words to say how much we all loved her and loved working with ...
her. Not only is Rachel extremely talented, professional, and detail-oriented, she is sweet and very caring...and she is fun to work with! Rachel's priority is her client's wishes and needs. The day of the wedding she was there from beginning to end but never got in the way. She did her job flawlessly without ever being intrusive. My family and I highly, highly recommend Rachel Buckley for any important, special event in your life. She will treat it with equal importance and great care!! She's the best!!!!
As a couple of the other brides said, you are foolish not to hire Rachel as your wedding photographer! Simply put - she is the very best at what she does! On top of that, she is s...
omeone you will want to have as a friend long after your wedding! So kind and warm hearted. She truly cares about you and you big day. She and Molly had our wedding party laughing all day long! (Molly, big props to you for handling the boys!) She can go with the flow and does not pressure you to do anything you don't want picture wise. My husband and I did not want a million and one pictures and she really respected that. She knew the key ones we needed and how to capture our setting. We got married in January so there was very little light after we got out of mass, but that did not matter - Rachel pulled through in a HUGE way. She captured some amazing shots of the night lights and the city - I could literally stare at the pictures all day!
Rachel always went above and beyond to make sure my questions were answered and that I was comfortable with the process. With a million things going on that day, I knew I could 100% count on Rachel to snap some great photos that I can now treasure for a lifetime.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU RACHEL (and MOLLY)!!
Rachel is not only a gifted photographer who knows all the right angles, photos to take, and coloring, but she is SO FUN to work with. She makes you feel at ease on an otherwise c...
razy day! She was so efficient and thorough and helped make our day so special and memorable. She even helped my mom with the buttons on my dress. I can't recommend her enough!
Rachel is an absolute pleasure to work with. She immediately put us at ease and made us feel comfortable before she even took her first picture of us at our engagement shoot. By t...
he end, she gets to know you and will understand exactly what you want and like. And the best part is she’s honest with you and will tell you what works and doesn’t work. We couldn’t be happier with our engagement and wedding pictures. She’s extremely talented and is a so much fun to work with. I can go on and on and can’t say enough positive things about her as a person and as a photographer. She’s the best and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
Rachel is the by far the best.
My Top Five.
1. It's personal with Rachel. She gets to know you. She lets you get to know her. The whole thing is like hanging out with an old fr...
iend and it is REALLY fun.
2. Rachel takes the time to answer any questions all along the way...a year away, six months away, two days away...she will always respond like you are her number one priority. And, if you are just looking for ideas or want advice (I had no idea about the whole first look thing for example) she will take the time to give you different viewpoints and leave it up to you.
3. Her photos come out incredibly beautiful. Maybe this should have been number one. Regardless...just check out her website and blog to see what I'm talking about. She's wonderfully talented.
4. As the bride it was important to me that the groom/rest of the wedding party/my parents/family feel comfortable with the photographer. She nailed it...and I have two brothers and a groom who are not particularly fond of getting their picture taken.
5. Her laugh is infectious. Nervous about the way your photos will come out? I never took a great school photo and I feel very awkward having my picture taken...just getting a laugh from Rachel made me laugh...and you get great photos that happens.
Bottom line: she's talented, she's the friend you never knew you had, and she will take excellent care of you.
Rachel is by far one of the most talented and fun person to work with. She is an expert with photography and knows what she wants:) She made the whole experience so much fun and ev...
eryone RAVED about her that had any interaction with her at all. She answered all my emails and totally was my patient with at times, my many, many questions. I would recommend her over and over and over again to anyone looking for an amazing person to work with and anyone who wants gorgeous pictures! LOVE HER!
If I could scream from the mountain tops for all the world to hear that Rachel Kate Photography is by far one of the most talented people I have ever met, I totally would. But sinc...
e I cannot, the internet seems like the next best place! lol
From day 1, my husband and I fell in love with Rachel. Her bubbly personality and love for photography, not to mention incredible talent, hooked us and it was destiny that she become our wedding photographer! I remember our engagement photo shoot; we all laughed so hard the entire time that my cheeks were sore! We just had such a fun time that it was like 3 friends all hanging out. And then I remember the day we got to see the engagement photos. Oh. My. Goodness. Angels were singing, they were so beautiful. The lighting; the colors; her vision is just amazing. Everything I wanted out of my wedding photographer was all there- and it was called a Rachel. We also ordered our guest book from Rachel of our engagement photos; nothing spared when it comes to quality. We were so impressed.
Rachel is super easy to get in touch with; any time I had a question or concern, or heck even if I just wanted to run dress choices by her, she was there! On the day of the wedding Rachel was on time, if not early. She was super professional and started taking pictures of my accessories. She had another photographer over with the guys taking their pictures, so Rachel didn't have to divide her time between the two of us. Janelle was top-knotch and the guys loved her! I love Rachel's photo-taking style, too. She isn't one of those super annoying photographers who is in your face the entire time. In fact, I'm starting to think she may have worked in private investigation because I literally didn't even notice she was there. haha Today I got to see my pictures. I am OVER THE MOON in love! She captured every moment, every detail and I felt like I was reliving the happiest day of my life all over again. Timeless; elegant; just WOW. No funny stuff, just classic & beautiful wedding photos. I cannot wait to plaster these pictures all around my home. There are no words to express how highly I recommend Rachel for any photography needs. You will not be disappointed! My husband and I can't wait to start having babies and we already know who we'll call for their baby pictures!
Rachel Kate Photography is beyond amazing!!! She was very prompt with emails, gave suggestions and her work was out of this world!!! You can tell the first time you talk to her ho...
w much she values her work and how much she cares about each individual client and they're special day. It didn't matter how many times I emailed her she always gave her opinion and what she thought would be best. Working with her the day of the wedding was again amazing, she was a half hour early, super easy going (since I was super nervous haha) and she felt like family. If she doesn't like a shot she moves on, she is direct and to the point and I loved that!! Her work is so creative and unique and captures each individual couple. She cares for every client and she doesn't disappoint!!
Rachel Kate Buckley is AMAZING. I am still swooning over my photographs ... and I only saw a small portion of them thus far! I love her photojournalistic style: we wanted nothing s...
taged or artificial. My husband LOATHES having his picture taken. I searched for a photographer who felt more like a member of our extended family or one of our circle of friends, rather than a hired shutter clicker. I'm loud and gregarious, it is easy to catch me on film ... but my husband? Craig is much more subtle. Rachel took SUCH amazing photos of Craig! She caught him vulnerable and unaware of her lens. Every bit of his personality is there in her pictures: he is a very funny, even irreverent, man, but he usually looks like a lump in pictures. Not in our wedding photos ... even the ones that were "semi-staged" with the family. Rachel cracked wise with him and got him to laugh. She was perfect for us! Our friends all had a great things to say about their interactions with her too! I'm a first time bride at fifty years of age, so let's just say I won't need Rachel for any baby pictures in this lifetime. But I am looking for the next big reason to have her shoot photos for us. My only advice is BOOK EARLY!!! Rachel had closed her schedule for wedding bookings when I first spoke to her in Jan of 2012 for a September 2012 wedding. Lucky me, we "clicked" and she agreed to shoot our wedding. Rachel herself is beautiful and funny ... her photographs are shot with the eye of an artist ... and as a business woman, she was punctual and efficient. I don't know how she does it all, but I am thankful that she does!!
I LOVE Rachel...and just as much as I LOVE Rachel, I LOVE her work!! I knew I wanted to book her the first time she emailed me and I was so glad the other client she had been cont...
acted by for the same wedding day decided on another photographer...her loss=my HUGE gain! Rachel was awesome to work with. She did our engagement pictures and my husband, who was very skeptical about how the pictures would turn out, was pretty impressed. But our wedding photos!!! We've only seen a few that she has posted on her website but I am beyond thrilled with how they came out. I have already received dozens of compliments on the quality and many have said they are some of the best (if not THE best) wedding pictures they have ever seen! I am so excited to see the rest. Quick turn around time (helps that we were one of the first weddings of the season). She is fun and quick and the moments she captured on film are priceless. Very unobtrusive...I hardly remember her snapping pics during the ceremony. Even my husband, who hates having his picture taken and was kind of dreading a full hour of pictures after the ceremony, had to admit it was pretty painless and went quickly (we were actually done in less than an hour).
Hiring a photographer was, to me, one of the biggest decisions after my dress and venue. I met with several others before finding Rachel. I felt like we totally hit it off and her work reflected the high quality, natural looking, classic wedding photos I was looking for. While she might be a little pricier than some of the other photographers out there, I promise she is worth every penny! Obviously I cannot say enough good things about her!!
Rachel shot my recent wedding and we couldn't be more amazed at her talents. Not only does she have a god given eye for pictures she also happens to be one of the nicest and cooles...
t people I have had the pleasure of meeting. I can't wait to have a reason to use her talents again!
