About this vendor
As a wedding photographer and photojournalist, I move beyond taking traditional photos to capture your wedding story as it unfolds. Part of the story can come out in simple portraits, but I believe the story can be better told with candid, in-the-moment shots. These are the shots that, years later, will make you smile, laugh, blush, cry happy tears or sit quietly re-living those special moments. These are your personal archives, revealing one of your best stories.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rachel Philipson as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos. I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly talented (and swe...
et) Rachel was throughout the process. I was a destination bride living across the country, but Rachel was so helpful that I felt like I was right there planning alongside her. She responds to e-mails immediately and is beyond patient/understanding (I admit I changed the wedding day timeline probably a thousand times and it never phased her). Rachel showed up promptly and was prepared and ready to go. Her personality was happy and helpful so she fit right in with the festivities. Leading up the event, Rachel offered fantastic suggestions and even put me in contact with the right people to reserve extra photo locations in case of rain. She thought of EVERYTHING to ensure I would have the perfect day. As for quality, her photos were breathtaking. I have had so many people tell me how they've never seen such beautiful work. She captured every detail of my dress, special moments that I never thought of, and candid shots throughout the night. She knows how to work the lighting/angles and how to blend in to allow the moments to happen naturally. I often forgot she was even there so she caught so many special moments without intruding. As for editing, Rachel worked with such speed--getting our photos back to us within a week for both engagement and wedding photos. I cried seeing the photos because they turned out even more perfectly than I could have ever dreamed. My mom was even worried (she hates being photographed!), but can't stop raving about the photos. Rachel was an absolute joy to work with and I plan to book more photography sessions with her. Booking her as our photographer was the best decision that we made for vendor planning. Rachel is a beyond talented photographer and an incredible person too!
Rachel is outstanding, we couldn't be happier with her photography, talent, and professionalism. Her pricing is fair and the quality top notch. She is prompt with communication and...
worked with us to make sure we got all the shots we wanted from our engagement shoot to the end of the wedding reception. She offers a variety of packages and extras from beautiful portraits to fun photo booths. We can't say enough about Rachel!! - Nikki and Jamie
