Rachel Robertson Photography

r wedding!! The photo portion of my wedding was a time that I really enjoyed - I had a ton of fun!

h family, wedding guest and candid photos and Rachel did an amazing job capturing our special day. We wanted to do formal and fun group photos and Rachel was totally game to accommodate our request. You can see the fun energy of our group in the photos that you relive those moments again.

ommend her.

all our experiences. Capturing the the most amazing day of our daughters life at our family farm was more than we had hoped for. Getting married on our family farm was our daughter's "Dream Wedding" From the tender moments to the most funny moments of the day...Rachel was able to portray what the entire day was all about...LOVE. Rachel's direct and personal manner in which she runs her photo shoots has always been a great experience. Her professionalism and attention to detail are bar none. As a mother of the bride you hope and pray that the day is captured in such a way that the memories will last a life time Rachel Robertson Photography gets a 5 star rating from our family and we would recommend anyone looking for a professional, accountable, talented and articulate photographer she is your person. Grateful for all the all of the beautiful photos.

(throughout the planning process up until our wedding day) could not have been more perfect. After our initial engagement we immediately decided on having the wedding in Hawaii. I grew up on Oahu and wanted to have our ceremony in nature with local vendors to highlight the beauty of my home state. Rachel was recommended as a preferred photographer by our wedding planner. As a resident of Oahu, Rachel knew the area and was readily available to provide us with insight and suggestions during the wedding planning process. Our engagement photo shoot was in Waimanalo. Rachel was able to pick a perfect location along the beach. She remained professional and her final product was sent out without complications. Over the course of a year of preparation for our big day, Rachel continued to be very supportive and professional. She treated us as friends, rather than another number, while still maintaining professionalism, and both my husband and I felt that she was there for us in an effort to make our day go as smoothly as possible. The wedding day went very smoothly thanks in no small part to Rachel and her assistant. Besides having wonderful interactions with our guests, Rachel and her assistant went above and beyond preparing for the ceremony (helping to bustle my dress and teaching my husband and his groomsmen to tie ties). After the wedding, Rachel sent us a link to our pictures which turned out beautifully. We also received a photo album with her preferred pictures. If you are looking for a professional, skilled and friendly photographer for your wedding and engagement to highlight that milestone in your life, I highly recommend Rachel Robertson!

captured everyone’s personalities. Many of our family members even commented on how great Rachel was with everyone. Would recommend her a million times over.

o say how amazing Rachel was. We loved the experience and absolutely love our photos. We highly recommend using her amazing service.

and helpful and was always prompt at responding to our emails regarding any questions that we had. On the day of our wedding we found Rachel to be extremely professional. She was easy to work with and made us feel relaxed. Rachel took amazing photos that we were extremely happy with. She was very creative and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined. We are very happy with the result and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer for any occasion.

ay is that your ability to relax and enjoy yourselves around your photographer is as important as the photos they take—not only is Rachel a fantastic photographer, but she makes it easy to be yourself and enjoy your wedding day. She was well-organized and a clear communicator leading up to the wedding, on the day of, and following up after. We couldn’t be more pleased with her work and would recommend her to anyone who wants a great wedding photographer!-Jonathan and Leslie

center of attention but the photos turned out beautifully thanks to her lead. Communication with Rachel was easy and prompt and the photos were ready by the promised date. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent photographer in Hawaii!

out sacrificing any quality. Everyone loved the pictures, but more importantly my fiancee did. In planning a surprise proposal in Oahu from San Diego, I was really looking for someone with great customer service, and Rachel delivered! She was phenomenal throughout the entire process, starting from the first e-mail, to the several lengthy phone calls to discuss the logistics. As for the shoot itself, she was able to capture every moment without giving anything away, largely in part to her beautiful little 2 year old decoy. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and easy to work with photographer in Oahu. She will not disappoint you.

fun personality, professionalism and beautiful photography. We felt like we clicked with her easily and met with her again a few days before the wedding just to touch base on everything and discuss what kind of photos we hoped to have captured on the wedding day. Rachel and her assistant, Paula, did an incredible job at our wedding -- several guests commented on how pleasant and fun they were to work with and one family member even said, "She's the best photographer I've ever encountered at a wedding!" Both Rachel and Paula worked hard but made it look effortless. We now have hundreds of beautiful photos, from creative up-close detail shots to lovely family photos and ones capturing the stunning scenery of Kualoa Ranch. Rachel has a wonderful eye for what makes a great photo and she's very talented with getting the perfect lighting. We also loved the website link she sent us with all our photos which made it really easy to share them with our family and friends in both the USA and Australia! If you want amazing photos to remember you wedding day with, please contact Rachel -- she's a fabulous photographer to work with and worth every penny! We can't thank her enough for capturing our wedding day and giving us beautiful photos we can cherish forever!

hotos tailored to your unique needs, look no further. Not only did Rachel exceed my expectations but I can’t tell you how many times not only friends and family, but random people have literally gone out of their way to tell me how phenomenal my photos were. I originally hired her to do my engagement photos, but since then have hired her to shoot my wedding, family parties and a pregnancy shoot. It’s been a year since my wedding and people STILL talk about how cool, romantic and fun all of my photos were! :) · Her easy going, “put you at ease” personality. One of the reasons why Rachel is able to take such amazing photos is because she immediately puts you at ease. She takes great care to listen to what YOU wish to accomplish, and then talks you through the steps in order to make you comfortable enough to relax and just have fun in front of the camera. My fiancé, now husband, was very nervous about taking pictures, but after five minutes with Rachel, we were able to shake off the nerves and just have a good time with each other. Taking photos with Rachel is such a fun and enjoyable experience! · She puts YOU first and makes you feel like the most important person in the world. On my wedding day I did not have a care in the world because I knew I was in good hands with Rachel. To be honest, my wedding coordinator was not very good, but it was Rachel who took care to pick the rice out of my hair after running through the wedding tunnel, or was constantly and carefully adjusting things ‘just so,’ so that I was always presenting my best self. She made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world, and I often joked that she was more of my wedding coordinator than my real one was. Again, if you are looking for a highly professional photographer that will not only take amazing photos, but ones that are unique, original and tailored to you, you NEED to hire Rachel. She is not only an amazing photographer, but an awesome person who will become your best friend, cheerleader, psychologist, coach, touch-up artist, you name it. She is the real deal and you will treasure the awesome moments that she will be able to capture for you.

ou wouldn't ask Rachel to be part of your special day!!!

erson. We've gotten to work her twice: once at our engagement photo shoot while we were visiting in March and at our wedding just last week. My new husband and I have never had professional photos done previously so we were a bit nervous, but she managed to set us at ease with her sense of humor and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She encouraged us to move naturally, offered honest feedback, and gave helpful tips to avoid awkward poses producing better pictures. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond. My husband's bowtie had been undone just prior to the ceremony and once it was retied she tweaked it to ensure that it was perfect. She even hopped in to fix my hair after the initial lily had been badly beaten up by the wind during the ceremony at our outdoor venue. She pinned a new flower in my hair and even added hair spray to ensure that it photographed well. Her attention to detail is impeccable not only highlighting us in the image but using the environment to build the perfect story. (She's not afraid to get in the sand or water to capture an image). Her usage of light and texture make the images interesting and aesthetically pleasing. We can't wait to see how our wedding pictures came out. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable, Rachel!

ed her to be our photographer for our wedding and a couple's shoot. We are not very comfortable in front of the camera, and she made us feel at ease with her sweet, funny, and awesome personality. She is a great person I admire and so talented at what she does. We trusted her 100% and she did not disappoint. We are so very happy how our photos turned out and are forever grateful to her making it such a great experience. Anyone who has the pleasure of working with Rachel, or choosing her as their photographer is making the best choice and will be very good hands. She is truly an expert and you will be so very happy as we are. :)

ons. Our planning process was made simple with Rachel from the beginning. She was one of the first vendors we met with as we knew our photographer was a very important part of capturing our day and all the memories to come. Not only did she help guide the process, she also directed us to other wonderful vendors such as our hair/makeup consultant. Rachel was very responsive through both email and text, which can be very helpful for two busy brides. On the day of our wedding, Rachel helped with the flow and timeline of each part. She was organized and assisted the coordinator. She brought an assistant who captured areas we were not able to see, including cocktail hour and parts of the reception when we were doing our couple's photos. All of our bridal party immediately connected with her passionate and outgoing personality. She made people smile (which is always helpful for photos) and really made the entire photography process seamless and easy. Rachel was compassionate to our personal desires to make the day even more perfect. She spent time photographing us with our families, friends, and even our fur-family, Mr. Sam. She went above and beyond to capture part of the ceremony including butterflies in remembrance of Jenna S' mother-of-the-bride. The final pieces were absolutely remarkable. Every photo was perfect. I cannot depict our appreciation in words and the passion Rachel has for her trade. She really has an eye for photography. Jenna and I recommend her without any hesitancy to someone who is looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations and connect on a personal level. Many Mahalos to Rachel Robertson for her hard work, dedication, and passion toward the art of the wedding industry.

t she's such a seasoned professional that she knows exactly what you need. Our group photos (which can sometimes take forever) were painless and our guests were able to head to cocktail hour quickly. I didn't have a "vision" for my photos so I really relied on Rachel's expertise to get us varied and dynamic shots--and they were all stunning. She is extremely professional, talented and creative and I'm so grateful that she was our photographer because it is such an important part of any wedding!

tdoors. The pictures illustrated this perfectly. We are forever grateful

dations from our wedding co-ordinator and initially sent her a brief outline of our requirements via email; even though we are based in Australia Rachel was very good at communicating in a timely fashion. We were able to Skype with Rachel and plan how the day was going to plan out. Rachel was very forthcoming in recommendations based on our location. Rachel was flexible with payment arrangements; we were able to pay via credit card from Australia. Fast forward to the big day Rachel and her assistant arrived on time to take pre-wedding photos of the bridal party and guests. Rachel took spectacular photos and captured breathtaking moments from our wedding. Rachel has an eye for taking great shots. The images turned out fantastic. We also had a trash the dress session booked and Rachel kindly accommodated two session’s one at Waimanalo Beach and Makapu’u for some beach shots and underwater shots. The photos were provided by digital format and USB – there are so many fantastic photos we are finding it hard to decide which photos to blow up on canvas. We have shown our photos to so many people and they have all commented on how beautiful the images turned out.

ery unnatural and uncomfortable in photos, but Rachel was so great at putting my husband and I at ease throughout the whole day. She is one of those photographers who takes the most natural and flattering photos (no awkward shots at all). Most importantly they are such beautiful photos that my husband and I will cherish forever. Every person that has seen our photos comments on how beautiful they are and what an amazing photographer Rachel is. Rachel was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend her for your wedding.

e was available to cover my wedding in Kaimuki this past April. Although I had a very tiny ceremony (16 people total, including my husband and me), she put everyone at ease (even our priest!) and got some amazing shots of our venue and everyone in attendance. Her work was one major aspect of our wedding that we definitely didn't need to stress over. Rachel has a much quicker turnaround with pics than we expected (took about a month, but I must reiterate how small our wedding was), given that she's so busy. That said, if you're interested in hiring her, get in touch right away and book in advance.

a pleasure to work with even on the busiest of days, our wedding. She moved shots along smoothly with both us and all of our guests, even coordinating her shoot with a videographer without trouble. With Rachel everything was smooth, and her work added in so many ways to our big day. Thank you Rachel!

the weather - all without seeming rushed or taking anything away from the party. She got great photos and lots of photos of even the most reluctant and camera shy guys. ;) We have so many good photos to choose from that we still have not been able to decide what to put on our walls. But we have a beautiful wedding album that she put together for us (since again we could not decide on photos). We would recommend her to anyone!

wanted to have someone that we felt comfortable with and as soon as we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit! We were beyond pleased with our photos from start to finish! Rachel captured so many special moments and the pictures were positively beautiful. I didn’t have a videographer so I wanted my pictures to be amazing and Rachel did just that. We are so happy that she was there to capture every special moment! Rachel and her team are professional, warm and absolutely outstanding. We highly recommend that you include Rachel and her team as part of your special day!

never met before that day my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with her. At the end of our session I asked if it would be possible to have a just couple pictures ready within a few weeks so that we could display them at the reception we were having on September 26th. She said it wouldn't be a problem- we were blown away when she emailed me ten days later to say all of our photos were ready! They are stunning and such a great reminder of that special day. Rachel is professional, has great communication and her prices were right on. We look forward to working with Rachel again in the future and we highly recommend her services!

didn't think was possible. She was everything we wanted for our wedding photographer and so such more. Highly recommend her to others.

ommend her services! Our wedding was very laid back and low-key. Rachel was able to capture the chilled-out beach vibe along with the essence of our personalities to create photos that are anything but low key – they are beautiful. We asked our guests not to take pictures during the ceremony so that everyone could be truly present – not watching the ceremony through the lens of their iPhone – and, that we’d make the images available to everyone after the wedding. For some, this may have seemed a little risky but after having met Rachel via Skype and in person, we had every confidence in her. And as expected, Rachel captured just the right images and everyone was thrilled. Rachel is so easy to work with and is incredibly professional. Get in quick and don’t miss the chance to have Rachel involved in your wedding!

fun she was to work with and how she put everyone at ease. She brought a fun and exciting energy to the big day! Rachel is very well organized, professional, and clearly experienced in her field. She seamlessly fit into our big day and captured many beautiful moments without getting in the way. Rachel was always prompt when replying to e-mails and flexible when plans changed. We also received our photos on time and much sooner than many of our other friends who were married in the same month! We would defiantly use Rachel again as our photographer and would highly recommend her to others.

ainland, and we would absolutely recommend her for anyone's wedding!

em to my friends and family!

otos that she took were those "in the moment" shots, which require being in the right place and the right time during our big day. Rachel is a pro at this! We really appreciate Rachel for capturing every part of our "best day ever"!

y recommended. Can't say enough about her...cheers S&K

laughing through the entire experience. zShe was even able to wrangle our 20+ family members through all the family portraits, and helped me bustle my dress and remove my veil - she went above and beyond. Both our engagement and wedding photos are beautiful. The candid shots she captured are some of my favorites as she was able to document some of the most special moments. We (and our guests) really enjoyed working with her, and had a great time thanks to her cheerfulness and fun personality!

ly fun to work with! We had limited time for photos and she helped us put together a list of group shots we wanted to have which went quick and smoothly the day of the wedding, leaving plenty of time for pictures for the two of us. On the day of the wedding Rachel was super organized, professional and made everyone feel relaxed! She was also super flexible, we had an impromptu first look with the bridesmaids and flower girl as well as there was a hurricane coming! When we saw our photos for the first time we were so excited that every moment and all the small details were captured. All of our photos looked AMAZING!!! Thank you Rachel!

, warm, and friendly. She will put you and your guests at ease--and, as a result, you will end up with wedding photos where you look happy and genuine as well as beautiful. I would definitely recommend working with Rachel!

g us back to her. My fiance & I were fortunate to meet with Rachel during our wedding planning & we knew from the moment we sat & talked with her, that she was the one to photograph the most amazing day of our lives. My fiance is not so photogenic & hates being photographed. What I love most & appreciate about Rachel was that she was able to make my fiance feel so comfortable and make him break out of his shell on our wedding day. Rachel is so personable, easy going, fun, friendly & professional. Her creativity & attention to detail was captured in every shot. Her turnaround time to provide us with our photos was as promised. She is truly talented & we are so blessed to have her share our special day as our photographer. I absolutely recommend Rachel Robertson Photography!

our videographer very well, and somehow packed in over a thousand pics while dodging rain! Pictures came out beautifully and didn't require a million takes.

e whole process easy and enjoyable. Her quality of her work is beautiful. She isn't afraid to do or go to crazy places to get the photos you want. She is always good to reply to my emails and concerns. My fiance, now husband, really enjoyed our experience with her! I highly recommend Rachel Robertson Photography! You won't regret it!

shot), she was able to capture the ceremony without anyone noticing her, and she is always smiling and bubbly. Her assistant was equally as fabulous. Rachel is easy to work with, on-time, extremely professional, flexible, good at communicating, and open to ideas. I would love to work with her again and would definitely recommend her.
