Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
As a Houston, TX (and beyond!) wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, I've been in love with visually telling love stories in an intimate and creative way. My goal is to provide my couples a fun, easy-going experience all while delivering galleries that bring on those happy hears! I want my couples to be able to re-live their amazing day and experience all over again the feels that first drew them together in love. I'm here to embrace my couples' vision and truly get to know them.
To my couples: my goal is to show you that my heart is for the things that matter the most to YOU! From dreaming together on how to get those specific photos you've been envisioning forever, to helping you plan the intricacies of your photo timeline, to just being a listening ear/ resource for what's going on during your planning process--I got you. You're the main characters in your own personal romance novel and I'm here to bring that to life.
I'm excited to connect!

I have so many things I can say about Rachel, but my favorite by far is the art that she creates. She captured the essence of us (form our engagements through our wedding day) and all of our people so truly, it makes my heart explode thinking I get to keep these pictures forever. She is an absolute gem of a human & brilliant behind the camera!

I don’t even know where to start with Rachel, she was amazing at capturing our engagement photos and was amazing at capturing everything at our wedding. She is dedicated and awesome to work with! She was literally running around the venue capturing every single moment of my wedding! She and her second shooter are great and I will forever recommend Rachel!!!

Rachel is absolutely fantastic! Our wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions for me during my wedding planning process because I knew I wanted beautiful, candid, and tangible memories of our big day. As I researched (a lot), I fell in love with Rachel's photography and editing style--needless to say, I am SO happy we went with her for our engagement and wedding photography, as she captured everything so perfectly. Furthermore, she is bubbly, fun, and easy to work with, and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (we are a bit camera shy). She went above and beyond to find the perfect backgrounds and lighting (she was down to try out multiple engagement pic spots). I know I will cherish our photos forever and cannot thank her enough!

I'm not sure we have the words to rave about Rachel. We got married at Nouveau Antique Art Bar and because it's a fairly dark venue with beautiful lamps, we wanted someone who could capture that. We searched specifically for photographers who had shot there before and that's how we found Rachel. She totally got our vision and captured the day perfectly. "Moody romantic" was the vibe we wanted and that's exactly what we got. In addition to capturing light in such a beautiful way, she also has a lot of movement in her photos which makes them feel so alive. Nothing about any of our photos feels staged or stiff - they really help us to relive each moment. She delivers on time and I feel like you get so many photos! The sneak peek of our wedding along had more than 100 photos, which definitely helped us as we anxiously awaited the full gallery! Our engagement photos were also amazing. She helped brainstorm locations and made the whole experience really fun. We're seriously in love with so many of our photos and how she helped memorialize the most magical day.

Hire Rachel Lynn for your wedding ASAP-you will not regret it!!! The images she captured of our special day are absolutely stunning. She knows how to do it all—run a wedding, organize family members, pose people to make them look their best, edit and deliver amazing images. Her editing style is basically making your photos look natural, but better, which is exactly what we wanted. We will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!!!

Reliable, caring, confident, and professional are just a few words I would use to describe Rachel.
As a wedding coordinator you always want your clients to choose other vendors that you can trust and give full creative control to- while you manage the rest of the day.
You will find that and more with her.
When you’re looking for a photographer you’re looking for someone who you trust to capture your memories and moments that you won’t remember. Someone you rely on tell you get the job done with kindness and professionalism. Most importantly you’re looking for the friend who will almost become family.
You’re going to find ALL of this with Rachel!!

What can I say about Rachel that you can’t see in her photographs? She was both so easy to work with and so professional. We met Rachel through a recommendation from our planner and from our first call we felt super comfortable with her. She was responsive to questions and had great suggestions as we worked out our engagement session and our day-of timeline. She was also amazing and flexible when we had to reschedule our engagements during the great freeze! We absolutely love the photographs from both sessions--she gave great directions throughout, kept us relaxed and natural. She captured so many beautiful moments that I’m having a hard time choosing ones to print!

I didn’t end up using Rachel for my wedding because I was on a very tight budget. However she was super responsive to my questions throughout my vetting/shopping around process. She was very easy to talk to and I imagine would have been very easy to work with.

Rachel is seriously one of the most talented photographers. She was able to capture so many amazing moments at my wedding. In each picture, you can tell what emotions were being expressed. Both posed and candid photos came out beautifully. She’s very good at time management and gathering groups of people for large family photos. I have a family of 100+ and she managed to get many great shots of all of us. If you’re awkward at taking photos, she’s your girl. She is skilled at guiding you (and your husband) to take the best shot. She can literally make anyone look like the most beautiful goddess. I’m always amazed at her work and I’m so lucky to have had her take our photos on our wedding day.

Rachel was wonderful. Admittedly, I am a little biased because she was a personal friend of mine before she started her photography business, but it is nice to see her still the same humble person even after her business has taken off. Everything surrounding my wedding in 2016 was a whirlwind. My now-husband and I had an extremely quick engagement (about 3 months or so) due to some personal circumstances with his family. So Rachel had to work very quickly to get the engagement photos and bridal photos done. She arose to the occasion! We did our engagement session in Galveston. I’ll be honest, I am NOT a beach lover. Especially of Galveston. BUT....Rachel knew the perfect spot for our session at around dusk. It was a secluded beach (can’t remember the name of the beach....maybe Jamaica Beach?) that was perfect for an engagement photo shoot. She honored my request to not have any overt kissing photos (I don’t have a problem with it for anyone else, but I just personally didn’t want such photos for myself). My then-fiance and I had a wonderful time, and the photos turned out beautiful. They captured our fun side, especially his silliness. Flash-forward to my bridal. The bridal session was literally two days before my wedding, which is not typical of most ladies, but again, this was the circumstance we were given. She took me to two beautiful areas of downtown (a wildlife reserve and a church) for the photos, which provided the perfect backdrops. She captured my gorgeous gown and overall look with grace. My only wish is that I had smiled better. I look at my photos, and I think to myself, “Why on earth did I not smile as genuinely?” I think I was going for a “model” look, and it just didn’t come out as well as I was picturing in my head. Anyway.... The wedding was a whirlwind, as all weddings are. She did a wonderful job capturing the indoor wedding. I know photographers prefer the lighting outdoors, but she still did a wonderful job. She did bring the families outdoors for the photos after the wedding. Again, the best-looking photos are where I was genuinely smiling, not doing that stupid “model” thing.
Overall, Rachel is excellent. She is extremely hard-working and careful, but not afraid to have fun too. She also is honest, and, more importantly, she is a loyal friend.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Rachel is! I came across her work through social media and instantly fell in love with her work!
She captured the most memorable moments so BEAUTIFULLY from our engagement to our wedding day. I can’t thank her enough for the work she delivered to us, capturing every small to big detail. She is so sweet, energetic, easy to talk to and she makes you feel so comfortable even if you’re camera shy. ALSO she makes you feel so beautiful making it easier to come out of your shell. Thank you Rachel for your passion, creativity, and love for all your clients!!

Rachel is worth no less than 1,000 stars on a 5 star rating! She is so passionate at capturing the perfect memories for you, and definitely goes above and beyond to do just that! Rachel photographed my maternity session, my newborn lifestyle shoot, and my baby sister’s wedding and I am in complete awe at how the pictures turned out! I am so happy to have these memories captured forever in the most perfect photos.

Over the course of 4 years, Rachel has been our go-to for capturing many dear memories for us. From an engagement shoot, to our wedding, to a friend’s wedding and a product shoot. Rachel has such a talent for getting the perfect shot with real emotions behind it, and she possesses an amazing and fun personality that makes her someone you just love being around. Her professionalism and clear direction has made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera that she even gave me the confidence to do a boudoir shoot! I’ve spent so many important and precious events with Rachel that I am now happy to call her a dear friend. I recommend her talents to all my friends and family that need a photographer to not only capture the moment but that can understand and relate to the importance of the moment as well.

Where do I start with Rachel?
Between my sister and I, Rachel was there capturing moments for 8 events. Rachel, while so professional, is also personal, incredibly talented, creative and genuine. Her love for her clients and what she does shows through her photography. She gives you what you want, and more, and then some. All my events are beautifully remembered because of her work and her dedication. Every question answered, every concern addressed. Rachel is simply amazing, she details plans and helps you in any way she can. I could not imagine having anyone else behind the camera for all my wedding events & more. Thank you for your time, creativity, effort & amazingness Rach!!

Rachel was so wonderful to work with! She did our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out even better than I could have imagined. She helped me work out a detailed plan for both sessions so I knew exactly what to expect. For our engagement photos, she was incredibly flexible so we were able to go to all of our favorite Houston spots. She even stayed a little longer than planned at our wedding reception to make sure she captured every moment. I am so grateful that Rachel captured these special moments, and I would recommend highly!

Rachel is a national treasure! She photographed our reception dinner event after we eloped. I honestly wish we would have known about her & flown her out to photograph that too! She's that phenomenal. Rachel made us feel so comfortable, confident & made me look far more beautiful than I ever thought I'd be! She simply makes you feel like a million bucks, you & your partner's happiness just radiates! She was also incredibly patient & totally went out of her way to accommodate us. She's an absolute gem. I want to find an excuse to commission her services again!

Rachel was AMAZING! I could not recommend her more. She did a boudoir shoot for me and was seriously the perfect choice in photographer. She made sure beforehand what vibe I was going for and helped at all hours of the day if I had questions or needed outfit help. She partners with a FLAWLESS hair and makeup team. Together they both help you feel so confident and sexy that the session was a breeze! Rachel really gets you to open up and not be shy, which is important for these kinds of photos. I couldn’t be more obsessed with our session if I tried! Please don’t hesitate to book her- you won’t regret it!
