I hate to leave a negative review for a local, small business, but I feel it’s important to share our experience so other couples can make an informed decision.
Rachel was very ki...
nd initially, but ultimately she was difficult to work with and did not provide the level of service we were expecting. We booked her for our wedding, but after our engagement session, ongoing communication issues, and overall lack of client guidance, we decided to forfeit our deposit and book a different photographer.
You can redo engagement photos - you can’t redo wedding photos and we did not feel confident or comfortable moving forward with her for our wedding day.
Prior to our engagement session, I explained our style and vision and shared a Pinterest board weeks in advance. Upon arriving at the session, Rachel told me she did not have access to it. I also showed her a few specific poses we really wanted, but none of those photos were included in our final gallery.
We were also very clear that we are not models and asked for guidance with posing, hair, clothing, etc. and assured her that direction was more than welcome. Unfortunately, there was little to no guidance during the session. As a result, my outfit looked disheveled in some photos, my hair was stuck in my earring in many of the pictures, and in several shots where my engagement ring was the focal point, it was turned to the side -details that could have easily been fixed with minimal direction.
After receiving the gallery and expressing our concerns, we asked about the possibility of redoing the engagement photos and offered to pay for another session. Unfortunately, that conversation was also difficult and did not feel collaborative, which further contributed to our decision to move in a different direction.
Additionally, I asked about her editing process and was told that minor acne would be edited. I pointed out a small pimple on my chin during the session that she agreed she would edit out. However, this was not edited out in the final images, which was disappointing, as this is typically standard unless requested otherwise.
Ultimately, we made the difficult decision to move forward with another photographer so we could feel confident and relaxed on our wedding day. I truly wish this experience had gone differently and I wish any future brides reading this the best of luck during the planning process!
Rachel is an incredible photographer, but more than that, she is so fun to work with! She worked well with our other vendors and kept the environment light and breezy. Everyone who...
has seen our photos so far can’t get over how amazing they are. I would 100% recommend Rachel to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!
I highly recommend Rachel!! I had a very clear vision of what I wanted my wedding to look like and how I wanted it captured. Rachel made that possible. Along with being a very tale...
nted photographer she is a great listener and communicator. Also super friendly and easy to talk to. She had beautiful ideas for poses and also listened to what I wanted and made sure she was capturing those photos as well. Her turn around time for sneak peaks was shockingly fast. We can't wait to see the rest of them. I will be reaching out to Rachel for any other photography opportunities.
We had an amazing experience with Rachel!
As a couple, we felt instantly at ease in her presence. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed.
During the planning process, she was p...
rompt in her communication, attentive to our preferences and requests, and was so pleasant to work with. She provided guidance, support, and suggestions that proved very helpful. It was evident that she genuinely cared about our happiness and went above and beyond to make our experience as memorable as possible.
We are thrilled with the way our photos turned out and are so happy we picked Rachel to capture this special moment!
Thank you, Rachel, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!
