Rachel Kunzen Photography // Pittsburgh Wedding Photo

Rachel was truly a dream to work with. We just got our wedding album back and we are so in love with them! She captured our wedding day with so much detail and love. Each photo tells a story. On top of the amazing photos, she was so helpful the day of the wedding. She helped to guide us through the day and had an amazing, peaceful energy that really helped both my husband and I be at ease in front of the camera. I can not recommend Rachel more highly, and we can not wait to work with her again!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Rachel was able to really capture our true emotions which made for the most real and gorgeous photos! She is the sweetest person and made us feel very comfortable. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you Rachel!

My fiance and I had the privilege of having our engagement photos taken by Rachel! They are STUNNING! She made us feel so at ease and made the process fun! We were genuinely laughing the whole time. Rachel is as kind as she is talented. I couldn't recommend her more! We will treasure these photos forever!

We just got our engagement pictures back today and my fiancé and I are in love with them. We aren’t very good in front of the camera, but Rachel made us feel comfortable, and the pictures came out looking AMAZING!! We are so happy we hired her for our wedding. We highly recommend Rachel for your wedding/engagement or any kind of photography. She is the best!!

We loved working with Rachel for our anniversary photos! She was very flexible and managed to take us to three different locations in an hour to make sure we get all the photos we like. Rachel listened very well to what we wanted and made it happen. She even let us explore our own ideas during our shoot and they turned out great. I can't be happier with our gallery and the edits she's done on our photos. Thank you Rach!!!

Me and my husband loved working with Rachel! It was our first time really getting our pics done professionally and before the session we felt a little scared that maybe we dont know what to do and the pics dont turn out good BUT she made us laugh the whole time and made us feel so comfortable and it felt so natural. She was super professional but at the same time I felt like she was my good friend and as mentioned made us feel good. The pics turned out amazing and we loved them!Thank you thank you!

I am so happy to write this review, as I cannot say enough good things about our experience! Rachel was absolutely incredible to have as our wedding photographer. Friends and family have commented on how the pictures are so beautiful, yet they seem so effortless and natural. Rachel's photography style is what drew me toward her, and I am beyond happy with our photos. Leading up to our wedding, she reached out and offered her advice and help, which was so thoughtful as she has so much experience with weddings. On the wedding day, Rachel was so easy to get along with. We didn't have engagement photos done near home, so we didn't have the chance to meet her beforehand. You wouldn't have guessed that, as she put us at ease for the whole day and we all had such a great time with her! Before the wedding day, she made sure to go over all of the pictures that we wanted to get and what things were important to us for the big day. She worked so hard on the wedding day to get all of the pictures we wanted, and I am truly blown away by all of the shots she got! If you want to work with a photographer who will put you and your fiance at ease while also perfectly capturing your big day, Rachel is the one to work with.

We couldn't be happier with our engagement photos!! Rachel really captured our personalities and natural happiness. Going in, I was a bit nervous since I never had professional portraits before but Rachel made the whole process so easy and care-free. I'm very excited to have her as our photographer for our wedding next year.

We were absolutely blown away by our engagement pictures & keep showing them off to people. Rachel was so easy to work with too! We couldn’t have picked a better photographer & cant wait for her to photograph our wedding!

I can’t express how pleased my fiancé and I are with the work Rachel put in for our photos ! They are BEAUTIFUL. And it’s all because of her!! She made this experience so comfortable- because I mean let’s be honest - how awkward and nervous do you feel knowing you have to be in front of the camera to model?! Well I know we were! But she made it so fun and easy! We HIGHLY recommend Rach to capture your beautiful moments !!!

Rachel is absolutely amazing! I was beyond thrilled to find a professional wedding photographer within our price range who produced gorgeous photographs and was so wonderful to work with. From the planning stage, to the actual day of the wedding, she was so helpful, kind and flexible. The photos we received were perfect and captured all the amazing memories of our wedding day. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer to capture their special day, she is so worth it!

Rachel is the BEST, hands down. She made us feel so comfortable and we had an amazing time taking our engagement photos! We are so excited we chose her, and can't wait for her to capture our wedding!

Okay SO the Bethany W review right under is me! but I forgot to mention that in ALLLLL of the cell phone pics my friends and fam have sent from the reception, I can't find a single one with Rachel. She's sneaky! She lets everyone enjoy the day while also documenting everything and omg I just adore her!

Oh my goodness, working with Rach has been INCREDIBLE. She was so sweet and helpful every step of the way, even when I felt like I was asking really dumb questions. She was never anything but professional, but still at the end of the day you feel like you're working with a friend rather than a vendor. She does an incredible job capturing everyone exactly as they are, but also in an incredibly flattering way. Her turnaround time is impressive for how heavy her workload can be. Her pricing is beyond reasonable. I literally cannot say enough great things. Her work is incredible and you absolutely will not regret it if you book her for your big day! I absolutely would not hesitate to book Rach again for family photos or other events. You spend so much time planning every little detail, and worrying about so much, and if you book with Rachel she will absolutely put your mind at ease and help your day go smoothly. If I could give 6/5 stars I would!

I don't even know where to begin! Rachel is AMAZING. Not only does she produce high quality work, but she brings a level of professionalism and personality to the experience that is often times hard to come by. From the planning phase, to the day of, Rachel's passion for what she does is apparent. She contributed so positively to our day especially with incorporating all of our wacky cars & quirks and was so much fun to work with! I would 10000% recommend her to anyone considering photography services on their big day. The preview of photos that she provided has everyone SO EXCITED to see what is in store when we receive our photos. Completely blown away! THANK YOU!

Rachel did an amazing job for our wedding! She knew exactly what needed to get done, and didn't let any of my family's craziness stand in the way of getting "the shot". She made our wedding look so beautiful, and kept her cool all day (even in the 90 degree heat). We've only seen sneak peeks thus far, but I cannot WAIT for the rest of the photos!

Our experience with Rachel was phenomenal. From the the planning stages to the wedding day, Rachel was well prepared and her experience helped us get the pictures we wanted for our wedding. Her calm and friendly attitude helped us move swiftly through all our pictures while enjoying our experience. We were pleased to see the pictures and are happy with the quality. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great photography experience!

Rachel just photographed my wedding and the photos are AMAZING! I love the artistic and romantic flair she has on her photos. She captured many candid and meaningful moments, as well as incredible portraits. Rachel is kind, flexible, on-time with everything, and very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!

Not only is Rachel one of the most genuine people I have ever met, her passion and creativity for photography is astounding...... and that's just after an engagement session. Fun is an understatement.

Rachel brings an artistic flare to her pictures that is both beautiful and unique. She is truly talented and her pictures are absolutely stunning. Not only are her pictures wonderful, but she's a wonderful person as well. Rachel is so kind and it was so easy working with her. She was flexible when plans changed (as I'm sure they often do) and had great ideas to add in as well. I do not like standing around and getting my picture taken, but Rachel made it so easy and fun too! I was so lucky to have her as my wedding photographer. I will always recommend her to anyone and everyone.

SIMPLY STATED - WOW! We just got the photos from our daughter and son-in-law's wedding, and these are beautiful portraits. Working with Rachel throughout the day was pleasurable and stress free. There are photos that we didn't realize she was taking throughout the event. Despite the rainy day, Rachel captured the Love everyone was feeling and the Fun we all had that day. Recommend Rachel Kunzen Photography? ABSOLUTELY! Signed - The Father of the Bride

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.. Rachel is the cutest, most easy going, TALENTED wedding/couples photographer in western PA. She’s fast to respond, and “makes taking engagement photos for an hour, actually enjoyable” (says my fiancé.) I am so relieved she’ll be with us on our wedding day!

Rachel was an amazing choice for our wedding photographer. She was timely, while still being sure to capture every photo I wanted. When the photos came back (which was so fast) I was blown away by her amazing work. She was such a pleasure to work with on the day and had amazing communication leading up to the wedding, too. I cant say enough about how much we loved her and her work.

Rachel - wow. We had Rachel do our engagement photos in February 2019 and our wedding photos in April. She is a gifted photographer with an excellent professional demeanor. Rachel knew how to make us feel comfortable which led to pictures that perfectly captured us and our relationship. She created a fun experience through a light hearted atmosphere, which led to many laughs and happy memories. Rachel clearly showed an ability to find great backdrops for our photos. After an hour long session, we had well over 100 high quality pictures. All of them were so good it was hard to narrow it down to pick which ones to print and to put on our wedding website. We had a book made with all of our pictures and we’ve found that flipping through every picture evokes a happy memory from a wonderful afternoon. The wedding photo process with Rachel started well in advance of the wedding as she sent us tips and options to think through ahead of time. She helped us think through the details (timeline, desired photos, etc.) ahead of time so that when the wedding day arrived, she could be sure to capture every important moment. This foresight relieved wedding day stress and allowed us to focus on our special day. We completely trusted that Rachel would take the photos we wanted and guide us along the timeline as needed. This trust proved to be well-founded as she did exactly that throughout the day. Rachel again demonstrated professionalism as well as an easy to get along with demeanor that was as effective with grandmothers as it was with toddler nieces and nephews. She made everyone feel at ease, which was a real blessing to this bride and groom. The finished product of pictures exceeded our expectations and will provide a perfect lens through which to look back on our wedding day in the coming years. From portrait style pictures with our family, to quiet moments between just the bride and groom, to candid moments at the reception, Rachel created a perfect mix of styles, backgrounds, and moments. The beauty of the day will not be lost to our memories because of Rachel’s photographs. Engagement and wedding photos with Rachel proved to be a wonderful experience. We recommend her to anyone and everyone.

My fiance and I were totally intimidated by the prospect of an engagement shoot. We are the farthest thing from social media stars and rarely even snap pics of ourselves, so to say we were inexperienced with poses and what we would like is an understatement. Rachel made us feel so comfortable. She is truly a pro and I think could make anyone's photos turn out amazing. She will keep you smiling, laughing, and enjoying your time together.

Rachel is EXCELLENT! She was very responsive and knowledgeable to all of our pre-contract questions and guided us through the process. We had a phone call to get to know each other and that was very helpful in deciding that she was a match for us. When it came to Engagement, my fiance and I were nervous, but those quickly went away when she embraced us with her welcoming personality. It was freezing and snowing that day and she even had hand-warmers for us. It was very thoughtful! The pictures turned out amazing, we love them and have received so many wonderful compliments on them. Can't wait to have her as our wedding photographer.

Rachel did an awesome job for our engagement session! We were her first session of 2019, and it was like a two days notice. What other photographer can you get that from?? I wanted snow, but I was also skeptical of how that would turn out since nobody I know has done that before. The session was so fun and Rachel even made my fiancé smile (which he’s too “tough” to smile in pictures). I couldn’t be happier with our experience or photographs with Rachel!

Rachel has an eye for photographic art and capturing stories. We're very thankful for the moments that she captured during our wedding. She was also incredibly professional and thorough. She worked through the details and made sure there was a solid game plan in place.

Rachel did a fantastic job capturing our engagement and wedding photos. We were blown away by each and every photo she took. She perfectly captured the highlights and every moment in between. We will forever treasure the photos. Rachel was a joy to work with due to her positive attitude and willingness to quickly and efficiently adjust according to the weather and unforeseen changes in the wedding day schedule. She did a great job working as an individual and as a team member. She had the perfect balance of accomplishing her tasks while also making sure she was considerate of the videographers. Our expectations were exceeded in every way and our day wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Rachel is one of my absolute favorite photographers out there! My fiance and I are so blessed to have had her as our engagement photographer. She captured our personalities and love for each other so well. Not only that, but Rachel got our photos edited, previews posted, and our images to us in what must have been record time for a professional photographer! I 100% recommend Rachel for anyone looking to have high quality professional photos taken by a person who is reliable and really cares about the work she does for you in capturing who you are.

I contacted Rachel with a grand plan of secretly following my girlfriend and I through a conservatory with her camera ready to take pictures the moment I proposed. After that Rachel pretended to leave only to reappear at a surprise party that awaited my girlfriend snapping more pictures. She was very involved in the planning of all of this, calling venues, suggesting ideas, meeting with me beforehand, etc. The surprise in-situ photos came out amazing. We would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a friendly photographer who is up for catering to your own ideas!

Rachel is a good friend of ours and the first person that came to mind to photograph our wedding this past September. She was actually the first vendor we booked! Rachel was a huge help with creating our timeline and offered knowledge from her experience with other weddings. On the day of the wedding she came prepared and was so patient with our large wedding party and family members. We were so excited to see all of the amazing moments that she captured! My favorite photos are the ones she took of my husband as I was walking down the aisle - something not a lot of photographers capture. We also loved her recommendations on where to print our photos and love to see her work hanging on our walls! Thanks Rach!!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Rachel! We had our engagement shoot with her in October 2018 and it was PERFECT! She made us feel so comfortable and did such an amazing job getting to know us and capturing who we are as a couple in all of our pictures. If you want your pictures to show raw, beautiful emotion then Rachel is 100% your girl! Not only was she professional but she also got our pictures to us much quicker than expected. I already can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding!

Honestly I can't say enough of how AWESOME Rachel is. She captured every special moment on our wedding day beyond perfection. I look at the picture all the time because they are truly stunning. I am so in love with every single picture she took. She is a true artist and I recommend 100%!

Rachel has photographed my cousin's wedding, my daughter and I , my daughter with her cousins and my grandfather, my other cousin's newborn, my best friend's wedding, and numerous friends' families. Her work never disappoints, especially with the amount she produces and returns to you. Definitely give her a follow on instagram if you are on the fence. Within a few weeks you will see so many images that you love. She is calm, cool, and collected on site. She walks the entire area shooting and seeking out her next shot. You can tell she loves forming a bond with each client and that carries over in her images as well.

I can not say enough awesome stuff about Rachel. First of all, Rachel took time before the wedding to get to know us and exactly what we wanted for our pictures. When I met her, I felt like I already knew her. She has a warm and welcoming personality. She followed through will all the pictures we wanted and went above and beyond. All of our pictures are perfect. I can’t even pick favorites because they are all so beautiful. Thank you for capturing our day perfectly! ❤️

To say that we are so happy with the way that our wedding photos turned out would be an understatement. Rachel captured our DREAM wedding photos, documenting all of the special little moments, the joy of that day, the love between us, and the memories to be remembered so perfectly. I look forward to years and years of being able to look back on these photos and being able to experience the height of those emotions had on that very special day all over again, every time. Rachel was so easy and fun to work with. She was intentional, professional, and so so sweet. She truly cares about her clients and it shows. She listened to my ideas and brought many great ideas with her. The day was enhanced by her presence.

Rachel did a FANTASTIC job. I don't know any photographers, and when my wedding photographer (that someone recommended to me) backed out, I was at a loss. THO I will say, said photographer was the one who gave me Rachel's name. She is professional. She isn't in your face. She takes some pretty awesome "in the moment" pictures. I have to say, that she took the BEST picture of my father. And I will cherish it forever. She's smart, and sweet. Nothing but quality. I would recommend her to anyone who would listen. :)

I can't say enough great things about Rachel!!! We had the pleasure of booking her for our engagement shoot! The advice and time she put into booking and getting to know us before made the shoot that much better! And not only is she the sweetest person you've ever met but her photos are AMAZING! She was able to perfectly capture candid shots that highlighted our love for one another!

Rachel is truly skilled at what she does. She went above and beyond journaling our private elopement in Iceland. The pictures she captured are truly a collection of art. With her pictures, we are able to completely remember and retell our wedding story to friends and family. She made both of us completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Rachel has an eye for capturing candid photos as well as providing direction for more posed pictures. My husband and I both agree that our wedding experience wouldn’t have been the same without Rachel. Her style is unique, and she is dedicated to capturing the best images. She has a truly remarkable soul and strives to connect with each client to do her best work. Thank you for everything, Rachel!

Where to even begin- first, Rachel’s by far one of the most down-to-earth individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She did both our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn’t be more pleased with all of them! Through it all, she was 100% about us and what we wanted! We were beyond pleased that she didn’t stage us for photos, and majority of the time, we didn’t even know she was there. We were able to be who we are as people and she caught some of the best moments! Book your big day with her, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again, Rach!

Literally the most amazing girl ever!!! Her photos are so beautiful there wasn’t one we didn’t like. We also barely saw her the whole night and yet she captured every single moment. I highly recommend Rachel I can’t say enough good things about her or her photos.

Rachel is amazing!! She is so responsive to emails/texts, worked hard to make sure our pictures were perfect, and was SO helpful during the whole process! Our pictures turned out better than I envisioned and I would highly recommend her!

Rachel was amazing from the time we started thinking about scheduling all the way until after our shoot with her. She communicated well and quickly. The phone call we had with her to get to know each other and plan some things was the most comfortable one we had throughout all of our planning. During the shoot she made it fun, which was something we were both concerned with when picking a photographer. Finally, our photos were absolutely stunning and we still look at them all. The. Time. Our only regret is that we didn’t think to see if we could get her to come out to NC to shoot our wedding! I would recommend Rachel to anyone and everyone. You seriously won’t have a single regret in hiring her.

I had Rachel shoot our engagement photons last October. She was AMAZING to work with. My fiancé and I aren’t usually ‘center of attention’ type of people so I was a little nervous going into the shoot. Rachel made everything so easy on us! She gave us lots of direction and made it so much fun!! Our pictures turned out beautiful and I absolutely can’t wait to see the photos she takes from our wedding this October!! If your wondering if Rachel is a good choice as your photographer, the answer is YESSS

Rachel was absolutely amazing to work with! Her bubbly personality makes her so easy to be around. I loved that I did both engagement and wedding photos with her, because it allowed me to get to know her style a little more. Her techniques are perfect for capturing those real life moments and kept our pictures from looking to posed or awkward. It also makes taking photos with her fun! I feel that I have photos that truly capture my husband and me. From the beginning, we talked on the phone and I felt that she genuinely wanted to get to know me. She is a fantastic listener and can take all your ideas to produce something that fits your style. She is timely, professional, and takes the time before hand to prep for each photography session.
