Rachel did both our engagement and wedding photography and she made us feel so special and comfortable!! We got a mix of film photos and digital and people are still talking about ...
our engagement photos!! We’re so excited to get our wedding photos back.
I felt like she made us so comfortable in front of the camera and gave us great directions to not just be stagnant in portraits.
I can’t recommend her enough!!
Rachel created photos better then any inspiration photos or what my imagination could dream up. Truly an unbelievable artist.
Rachel, where do we begin?! She was the best addition to our wedding day to capture our special day 100%. Being able to look at our pictures and feel those feelings all over again...
, meant so much and means so much! She made us feel confident and comfortable and we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you a thousand times over!!!
Rachel was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. There aren’t enough words to express how awesome not only her work is but how awesome she is as a person as well. She always made us feel comfortable...
and her eye for amazing shots does not disappoint. From the start of the day when we were getting ready, we were a bit behind on our original timeline for things but she made sure to ensure that we would get every shot and detail we had talked about. Even with being an hour behind schedule she made it work perfectly and we never felt rushed. As the night went on she was able to catch every aspect of what we wanted and we could not have asked for anything else. Rachel is someone I would book a million times again and is someone I plan to book for all other future moments we want captured. Seriously look no further for a photographer because she is the best!
When I started looking for a photographer for my wedding I wanted to find someone that my fiance and I would vibe with since we would be spending a lot of time together. From the i...
nitial conversation with Rachel I knew that she would be the perfect photographer to capture our day. She is extremely personable and professional. My fiance and I were a little nervous about our engagement photos because we didn't want to appear awkward. Rachel made us feel so confident and natural during our session. We did our session in Lancaster city and it was like we were just hanging out with our friend taking pictures. She gave us great prompts to capture our natural smiles/laughs and get rid of any insecurities. We felt like we looked like freakin models when we got our engagement photos back! They exceeded all of our expectations! Rachel was super responsive through emails and texting the week of the wedding. She pays extremely close attention to detail and had so many great recommendations for picture locations.
Let me tell you about the day of our wedding..
I seriously could not have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding. Even our second photographer Madeline was amazing.
Rachel and Madeline both vibed so well with our group! Ryan and I felt super confident during our pictures. Everything ran so smoothly. I was super impressed with how well our family photos went because I was a little stressed making sure everyone got to the photos on time. Rachel made sure we were in and out with those photos so that we could go enjoy the remaining time in our cocktail hour.
She made me feel like a badass with a few of the photos that we took and I cannot wait to see the results! I added a few last minute photo requests day of and she made it happen. For the most part I left all photo recommendations to her and that was probably the best thing to do because she knows EXACTLY what she is doing. Leave those photo lists at home, you do not need it. I had such an amazing day and having Rachel as our photographer made a huge impact on how great our day turned out. I HIGHLY recommend her and hope to use her again in the future.
From the second my husband and I saw Rachel’s work; we were in love with it. The way her style compliments the vibe of The Booking House was absolutely perfect. We first met her at...
our engagement shoot in Harrisburg, PA where she met us for drinks prior to getting us in front of the camera. This was the first time either of us had been professionally photographed but Rachel made us feel completely at ease and guided us through the entire evening. We simply cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is incredibly responsive, transparent, professional, talented, and a great time. With her, our entire wedding day went smoothly, our sneak peaks were AMAZING, and we cannot wait to see the rest of the magic she worked!
Absolutely recommend hiring Rachel as your photographer! We got our engagement photos back and have been in complete awe of them. We not only love our pictures but we had such a fu...
n and comfortable experience shooting with her. I was in shock of how many amazing photos she was able to capture for our gallery!! I’ve had so many people ask who our photographer was in the short time of sharing them with family and friends. We are so happy we have her as our photographer & it made us look forward to our wedding even more knowing she will be there!
When we were looking for photographers for our wedding we came across Rachel via Instagram and she had the exact vibe we were going for. Rachel was very responsive and quick to get...
a meeting with us and talk through our goals and vision for our wedding day. Fast forward to engagement photos, she flew out of state for a long weekend to come to us and do a two day photo shoot with different scenery. Rachel was an absolute delight to work with, she never made us feel posed or unnatural. Rachel highlights the candid moments so perfectly and made me feel photogenetic when I thought I wouldn't be. On the day of the wedding she thought of everything and took so much stress off of my plate as the bride. She was ready to go the moment she got there and started working her magic from the detail shot all the way to the final shots of the night. Not only would I absolutely work with her again, I will be recommending her to friends an family from here on out. 10/10 from experience to personality, we loved her!
I have so many amazing things to say about Rachel! She captured our wedding day perfectly. Both my husband and I agreed that the most comfortable and relaxed part of the day was ta...
king pictures. Rachel was not only our wedding photographer but she became our friend. Starting from when we asked her to drive to Shenandoah National Park for our engagement pictures to our wedding day. She checked in on us the days leading up to our wedding and made sure we felt good and ready. Rachel portrayed our vision perfectly and gave us incredible images to last a lifetime.
Okay first off, writing a review that completely captures how wonderful someone is, is difficult; I could honestly go on and on... Rachel's professionalism, personality, TALENT, ey...
e, and style were/are simply unmatched. Both my husband and I feel so lucky to have worked with Rachel. We were planning our wedding on the opposite coast and had never met Rachel (in person) prior to our wedding (a little nerve-racking for sure) but that never even crossed our minds on our big day. We had monthly zooms and Rachel was always an email or text away...she made us feel so comfortable that by the end of our big day we wanted to grab beers and tacos with her! (which we still want to do next time we're in the area) If I could recommend one vendor from our wedding, it would be Rachel Ruhl. If you're lucky enough to book her...book her...JUST DO IT. We couldn't have imagined having a better photographer with us on our wedding planning journey down to our big day. She has so much talent and we still can't get enough of our photos - and either can our guests. She captured the special moments so eloquently and the party so PERFECTLY. (And we partied!) We can't wait to have something else for Rachel to photograph ;) We are forever grateful to have met such a special person. Rachel - thank you from the bottom of our hearts - we are happy to call you a friend, more than anything!
I don’t know where to begin.. Rachel is one of the most down to earth, easy going, most talented photographers I’ve ever seen/met. Rachel was my photographer for my engagement pict...
ures, bridal boudoir shoot, and my wedding. I’m always completely blown away by her talent. I’m always amazed and she continues to amaze me with her work! Not only is she extremely talented, but she knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. I will never go with another photographer! She is amazing!
Rachel was hands down our favorite vendor to work with for our big day. From the first conversation we had with her our vision for our wedding day was already coming to life. She i...
s truly such a rockstar and made us look like we belonged in a magazine. Rachel is pure magic. She makes you feel so at ease, and everything look effortless. We loved our engagement pictures so much and our wedding photos somehow topped those. Thank you so much for being a part of our big day. We are so lucky!!
3 words. BEST. PHOTOGRAPHER. EVER. Not only does Rachel take the most bomb photos, but she also takes time to get to know her clients. I never knew how important it was to vibe wit...
h your photographer until I met Rachel. My husband is a bit camera shy, but Rachel was able to get him to make faces I didn't even know he had! I still look back at our engagement and wedding photos and can't believe that is us. Rachel is truly amazing! HIGHLY recommend hiring her for your wedding!
It won’t take you long to see through the examples just how talented Rachel is as a photographer, as they say the proof is in the pudding! Photography was my number ONE priority wh...
en we started booking vendors- it was/is so important to us to have these memories documented for us to look back on. I met Rachel at the one & only bridal show hosted by the Booking House I was able to go to before Covid shut the world down. We instantly clicked because we found out we had a crazy connection to one another completely by fate. I went to the show with very specific vendors in mind to speak with, however after meeting Rachel & watching how she approached potential clients and just the genuine kindness that radiated off her I quickly started to shift my mind. She was hosting a raffle and typically I don’t ever enter things like that because I NEVER win but yet again fate had different plans because a few days later I was contacted by Rachel & I had won! After setting up my initial meeting with her just to go over basic information it was pretty clear to me that she was going to be the perfect fit for our wedding day. My husband is a very quiet and reserved man- we both are not huge fans of being the center of attention and we NEVER get our photos taken so when choosing vendors I knew we needed people who would be able to capture both of us perfectly exactly as we are (& help guide us through the awkwardness of never being in front of a camera). All of that said- asking Rachel to be our photographer was the absolute BEST decision we could have made. The first time we got to spend time with her was during our engagement shoot & she “got” us right away from our vibe to our humor, everything! It was important to us to have some photos taken in our home with our cat and RIGHT away she became besties with Goose! It didn’t feel like we were having someone new take our photos- it instantly just felt like a few friends hanging out enjoying some laughs and because of that she was able to capture EXACTLY who we are. She is the perfect mixture of fun & professionalism- this gal KNOWS what she's doing and has an amazing talent for making you feel great even if you feel silly. She was our cheerleader throughout the entire planning process- every time we would send little updates to one another she was genuinely excited for us & on the day of the wedding she came right up to me and gave me a big hug(probably realizing that’s exactly what I needed at the moment she’s that intuitive!). She started snapping right away and every moment she had she was checking up on me and my girls making sure if we needed absolutely anything she would make it happen. Again- her work speaks for itself, she has a gift & we are lucky she is sharing it with us all. Everyone, my husband and I especially, are blown away by what we’ve seen so far, it takes a lot for me to look at a picture of myself and think I’m beautiful but Rachel helped make that happen. For anyone considering working with Rachel for any reason- I tell you to JUMP at the opportunity because you not only will receive amazing results- you’ll get the most wonderful friend as well. Planning your wedding should not be stressful and you should be oozing happiness on your day and I believe the BEST way to accomplish that is by surrounding yourself with GOOD people & Rachel is 100000000000%+ that! Thank you Rachel from the bottom of our hearts! We cannot WAIT to work together again!! oxox
Rachel is hands down the best. From the beginning she made you feel like a priority and like a friend. Her personality is contagious- she has a way about her that makes everyone fe...
el comfortable. She made our day so special and captured so many precious moments we forgot about from our day. She was our first vendor we hired and helped us find almost every other vendor we needed. She was professional, yet fun and helped to make our day so incredible and unforgettable. All of our photos are so raw and truly captured what we were feeling in those moments. They're candid and personable and help us to relive our day when we look at them. We couldn't be happier with choosing Rachel!
Where do I even begin?! Aside from her photography aesthetic matching our whole vibe, Rachel as a person is truly one of a kind. From the moment we began working with Rachel we kne...
w we had made the right choice. She was so professional and kind from the initial inquiry all the way through our wedding day! We both felt so comfortable reaching out to her with any random questions leading up to the big day. She was beyond helpful when developing our timeline, and really helped us prioritize so we could get the photos we wanted while still being able to enjoy every bit of our wedding. Due to covid, we were unable to do the engagement session we planned, so our first-time meeting Rachel in person was our wedding but we felt like we had already known her forever!
On our wedding day she and the second photographer, Heidi, showed up right on time and got to work immediately. Rachel’s calming energy was exactly what I needed that day in the bridal suite! She truly was my personal hype-woman throughout the day making me feel even more confident than I already did! I was blown away by the way she was able to use different spaces in the small hotel room to make all our details (rings, ring box, invitation, etc) POP! When it was time for me to get my gown on, she made those moments between my sisters and I so very special.
Rachel made sure to do her own research on the locations in Old City Philadelphia that we would be taking photos for first look and photos before the ceremony, and it really showed! She was just as familiar with the locations as I was from her research, and we were able to navigate around the city in uber’s with ease to get the locations that my husband and I wanted for our photos. She was so great with giving us creative direction to make sure she captured all the unique and creative aspects that she wanted for us without any awkward moments!
We’ve only seen sneak peeks so far but what we have seen we are absolutely blown away by. The moodiness of her photos has always awed me, and she was able to capture that aesthetic perfectly with our photos. I had NO doubts she would!!! All our guests commented on how the photographers were so present but not over-taking and obstructing the views of any of the guests. I even saw photos the next day of Rachel lighting our candles down the aisle!! She is truly SO thoughtful and helpful, as well as Heidi, they both bustled my dress at some point in the night- ha!
I cannot recommend Rachel enough! She was able to capture the most important day of our lives perfectly, all while being SUCH AN AWESOME person to be spend our wedding day with! My husband and I truly feel like we left our wedding with a new friend. Don’t think twice- Book Rachel Ruhl Photography for your wedding day!!!!
It has taken me a couple of months to gather my thoughts about our wedding day! We met Rachel 2 years ago during her fall mini-shoots, where we instantly fell in love. We knew as s...
oon as we left that session that when we got engaged and married, the only person we would allow to capture our day was Rachel. Cue to a few months later and sure enough we got engaged! Not only did we pick our date around when Rachel was available, but we essentially booked her before we booked our venue. She was that important to our day. Now having gotten through our wedding day, I can honestly say that it would not have been the same had we had another photographer there. Rachel understood us as a couple, understood our love and most importantly captured our best day. She is not only an incredible photographer, but literally just one of the best people you'll meet. She is your forever hype woman, biggest cheerleader, the calmest soul and has given us the most incredible memories to look back on. We feel incredibly lucky for the path that brought us to Rachel - she is the only person we will allow to capture our family, now and in the future. If she happens to be available for your day, don't hesitate, book her immediately - you definitely won't regret it.
Look no further, Rachel is your girl.
My fiancé and I eloped in Yellowstone National Park this summer, and if it wasn’t for Rachel, we wouldn’t have had the dreamiest day.
When I...
inquired with Rachel back in February, I knew after a few email exchanges that this was going to be something special. She helped us determine a location to get married, and it was a blast to work with her along the way.
Not only is her work absolutely beautiful, but she is easily the most talented photographer out there. Not one moment did we feel like we were staged or awkward, it was effortless and easy.
The photos we have are ones we will look back on forever, and remember how amazing it was to become one in the middle of the forest.
We really can’t say enough about Rachel.
Attentive, personable, and kind are only a few words to describe Rachel. I could go on and on!
If you want photos you will cherish forever, capturing every single beautiful moment, Rachel needs to be your photographer.
There are 2 things I need to address in this review... The first being Rachel as a person. She is legitimately the coolest, most down to earth, "bring out the best in everyone" typ...
e of woman. Her photography aside, just having her around on the day of the wedding made me feel so comfortable and loved. Our venue had a flash flood right before dinner, and she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants, and walked right in with us! Through the heat and rain, she never faltered in her ability to be able to capture every moment that was important to us. Secondly, her photography is by far one of the most eye-catching, organic, and detail-oriented I have ever come across. I have had dozens of people from my wedding approach me to tell me how much they loved her & her assistant. Without a doubt, if you are looking for a photographer that will not only provide you with images that will be in your life forever, but will also be an integral part of your wedding day, you search ends here. <3
I can not say enough good things about Rachel... she is truly the best! She took our engagement photos this summer and they were absolutely breathtaking. Rachel is extremely talent...
ed and gifted. She makes the entire process comfortable and fun. Quickly after receiving our engagement photos, we scheduled her for our wedding in July 2022. I could not imagine my wedding day being photographed by anyone else. She is amazing!
I found Rachel after touring the Booking House Venue. After being given a list of recommended vendors, I quickly found her Instagram and fell in love. Her work stood out from the t...
ypical light and traditional shots you see. Her galleries felt warm, dreamy, moody, and effortlessly captured the love her couples have for each other. Better yet, they capture candid moments during engagement shoots and weddings and do not feel posed. She makes you feel like the "cool" guy or gal you see in bridal magazines.
Pre-COVID, we booked Rachel after meeting over coffee. She was awesome and involved through the whole process, even though the pandemic challenged many avenues of wedding planning. She was willing to meet twice for engagement pictures (the first time completely our fault for not knowing there are 2 pinnacle mountains in PA). The second time she met us on a weekend and trekked through a muddy horse farm I rode at during my undergrad. My fiance hates getting his picture taken, but she made it fun and was so very encouraging.
Rachel stuck by us through rescheduling, and agreed to be there for a Thursday afternoon wedding. She is a seasoned pro and her professionalism, passion, and excitement for photography is evident in her work and her presence was so comforting on the day of our wedding. She was our vendor, but she felt like a close friend and even helped buckle my shoes! I cannot recommend Rachel Ruhl Photography enough, and I am so excited for our wedding pictures to come in! We will definitely continue to reach out to Rachel for future photography purposes.
Rachel is everything you've dreamed about in a wedding photographer and more. We had wanted her from the minute we saw her work and I feel privileged that it worked out to have her...
for our big day. She stuck with us through a covid postponement, answered all our questions and reassured us that our day was going to be perfect no matter the date. All our family and friends commented on how wonderful she was on the day of and we couldn't agree more. She is warm, friendly, so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She is ridiculously talented and our sneak peek pics brought tears to my eyes. Can't recommend her enough, she will make your day infinitely better and your memories infinitely beautiful.
Rachel’s work is absolutely incredible! Her unique photography style was what we drew us to her in the first place but we never could have imagined how perfectly she captured our d...
ay. In addition, she was a pleasure to work with and answered all of my MANY questions. One of my biggest asks was to take pictures ahead of time so we could enjoy our family and friends at the wedding. Rachel not only made that happen, but also unobtrusively captured some of the most unique and evocative pictures we could ever hope for! We cannot wait to work with Rachel again in the future!
I knew from the moment I spoke with Rachel that she was the perfect photographer for our wedding. In fact, we scheduled our wedding around her availability. And then COVID hit - Ra...
chel was terrific to work with through the canceling of our first wedding date and rescheduling. She ensured us that everything would be ok and she would make it work no matter when we rescheduled. She took time to check in with us through the difficult months of waiting for our second date to arrive always assuring us that she was there for us and asking if there was anything she could do to help.
There are simply no words to express our gratitude for Rachel and her showcasing her artistic talent in capturing our special day. She made the entire day impeccable capturing unforgettable moments. She helped us in anyway she could to keep our day running smoothly allowing us to simply enjoy the day, taking on many roles when she felt it necessary, all the while keeping a low profile.
Our wedding day is over and the excitement of the day is fading but we will always be reminded of how special our day was as Rachel captured those unbelievable moments. With her bubbly personality she did what she needed to do capturing every special moment, her services did not keep our guest waiting, and she went out of her way to capture moments with family that were unable to join the wedding party due to COVID, .
Thank you Rachel, we are forever grateful!
Oh Rachel Ruhl,
You are a girls dream come true!
Honestly people, this pretty lady is hands down the most gifted photographer I’ve ever met. There is no need to look further. If y...
ou’ve found yourself on her page - do yourself the favor and just book her already! She will not only capture the most intimate and special moments of your life far beyond your wildest expectations but you’ll gain a friend at the end of it all.
Rachel’s passion for her work and clients is obvious & truly unmatched. From the moment we met her, it was an immediate bond. You most likely will form that same connection as it’s impossible not to!
A lot of you are probably unsure what to expect in this process (like us) we were nervous. Rachel has this authentic way of making it all so easy and fun. She has it down to a science. She’s the yoda of photography. Even my husband was in disbelief at how much he enjoyed himself during our engagement session (which he was totally dreading at first because let’s be real, the men could care less lol)! To this day, we look back at the engagement photos and can’t believe it’s us. We’ve never had professional photos taken before so we had no idea what to expect. All we knew is that we had the time of our lives and it shows in those photos. She’s pure magic. We didn’t think it was possible to top the engagement photos but she did! Our wedding photos are pure fire. We cried happy tears as we went through each one. It allowed us to relive the most precious moments all over again. We are stoked to fill the walls of our new home with all this Beauty and love. What makes Rachel even that much cooler is that despite what curveballs the world throws your way as you plan your big day or shinning moments - Rachel won’t let it come between you and your dreams. I can promise you that. She’s dedicated to you and will do what it takes to turn your vision into reality. I mean really, she converts Pinterest hopes into real life my friends! Do it. Do it now. This is the way.
We love you Rachel! We are so dang lucky to have met you. We are ecstatic to go through life’s many adventures and capture it’s most precious moments with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

5 stars aren't enough for Rachel! She photographed our elopement in Wyoming and she was the BEST DECISION we made. She went above and beyond for my husband and I. She had sent us S...
O many location options for our ceremony, first look, portrait shots etc. She was there for us and quick to answer any questions I had (and I had a lot). Our parents came along for the elopement and they could not stop talking about how wonderful her and her sister in law (2nd shooter) were. The pictures turned out AMAZING - and we had sneak peaks in less than 24 hrs! Our wedding day was a dream come true, and it 1000000% could not have happened without Rachel. <3
Rachel is the crème de la crème! Hiring her as our engagement & wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not only is Rachel's work stunning, but throug...
hout the whole process, she treats you more like a friend than a client. She displays professionalism while remaining "down to earth" putting myself, my husband, and our whole wedding party at ease. We are absolutely in-love with all the photos Rachel captured at our wedding. When I look at them, I remember exactly how I was feeling in that very moment. I am so happy we chose Rachel as our photographer and couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you, Rachel!
Working with Rachel has been fantastic! She has such an amazing reputation within the local wedding industry. Every time one of my vendors found out who our photographer was, they ...
quite literally let out a sigh of relief. They all love working with her and trust her immensely! I didn’t spend a single second of my wedding day worried about our schedule because I knew we were in good hands. I promise you’ll be relaxed, and your pictures will be all the better because of it!
I knew I wanted to hire Rachel as soon as I clicked on her Instagram. Her pictures are absolutely stunning, and capture that moodiness my fiancé and I were looking for. I told her ...
straight up that I am in no way a model and awkward as hell in front of the camera. She hung out with us before our engagement session and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed - I actually had a ton of fun, when before I had been dreading it. On our wedding day she was able to easily wrangle up our 16 person bridal party and still manage to capture unbelievable photos. My friends loved her, my mom hasn’t stopped raving about her, and my husband and I feel lucky enough to now call her a friend. I can be a bit indecisive, but there was no questioning my decision to book Rachel. If you’re thinking about it, do it.
Where do I even begin with Rachel? She is the absolute best photographer you could get for literally anything. Rachel is so kind and made my fiancé and I feel so incredibly comfort...
able right away when it came time for our engagement session. Not only is she so awesome and easy to work with, but she's easy to communicate with and get ahold of and she got our engagement pictures back in such a timely fashion. We could not be happier with choosing Rachel as our photographer!
We honestly could not have asked for a better photographer! I got so many recommendations for Rachel when I was finding a photographer and now I can see why! She captured every asp...
ect of our special day! We had so much fun with her during our engagement session and she makes you feel so comfortable. She created pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! She’s such a genuine person with amazing talent and we were so lucky to have her! She’s a must have for your big day!
If you want a photographer who instantly becomes a best friend, than Rachel is your girl! From beginning to end, Rachel was there every step of the way to somehow envision what you...
can’t describe on paper. She somehow says what you want to say and it makes the process a little bit easier! Without us even knowing, she managed to capture huge milestones if our lives. IF A SECOND MARRIAGE WAS IN MY FUTURE, Rachel would be my first phone call. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she becomes a lifelong friend! I don’t think you can go wrong with choosing her!
Where do I start? Rachel is truly incredible. Her work speaks for itself. She was such a unique style which was exactly what my husband and I were looking for on our wedding day.
...
When booking with Rachel she was professional and prompt. She took the time to really get to know her couples which is apparent in each of her photos. I appreciated that she took the time to really get to know and "vibe" with her clients.
Leading up to the wedding, Rachel was there every step of the way! She is so knowledgable about timelines and the in and outs of the day. She helped elevate all the stress leading up tot the wedding and I had 1000% trust. Rachel went above and beyond to know the venue and the surrounding area to have photo opportunities in multiple locations.
The day of the wedding, Rachel was such a calming force! She made myself and my husband feel so comfortable and confident. Because of her expertise and organization all of our time was utilized. My husband and I were able to be present during our wedding day, but also have the most beautiful photos that represent our day! Rachel was able to make our family, friends, and bridal party feel not only comfortable but confident. Everyone that saw the photos were in awe of how she was able to capture unique personalities of each person! Shows able to take edgy and unique photos of the us as a couple and also reign in the bridal party to take incredible group shots. She worked so well with all the other vendors and venue. Because Rachel took the time to know us as a couple, and the venue she was able to create different opportunities for different styles of photos all around the venue. The array and her vision is truly incredible.
We could not imagine our wedding day without Rachel! Our photos surpassed anything we could have imaged! Unique, edgy, and personalized which is everything we ever wanted. Not only do we have photos to cherish for a lifetime, we made a pretty amazing friend in the process! We are beyond grateful for Rachel and her talent!
Rachel is absolutely amazing! I found her through our venue and fell completely in love with everything about her photos. I live in a separate state and Rachel met my mom and I sup...
er early in the morning before going to our venue so we could meet her and talk about our vision. We didn’t even have to think about whether or not she was the right person we knew she was it! My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with her this summer and literally all of the pictures turned out amazing. I constantly receive compliments from people on how beautiful and perfect the photos are. It was the first time we were having professional photos done together also and we both couldn’t believe afterwards how much fun we had. Rachel puts you at ease and makes you feel so comfortable and is so much fun. Can’t wait for her to capture our wedding in April!!
Edited to add: We finally got married in August and Rachel is still amazing! She was SO easy to work with when having to postpone our wedding and was nothing short of amazing when we finally got to have our day. It is truly like having a friend hanging out taking your picture. Book her now!!

Rachel is the BEST! I have swooned over her photos forever, and quickly booked her for our 2020 wedding after getting engaged. We just had our engagement pictures with her, and the...
y are stunning. She made the entire experience very easy and fun, even my (non-picture loving) fiancé commented how much fun he had on our shoot. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at ease. I can’t say enough good about Rachel! Book her NOW! You won’t regret it!
I really don't even know where to start with Rachel! She recently did our wedding and when I say she made our day perfect, I am not exaggerating. Our wedding day was the first time...
that she had photographed us, and I was slightly nervous that we would be nervous in front of the camera. Rachel made us feel so relaxed and ourselves, while having so much fun taking pictures. She is the kind of person who can get along with everyone and anyone. Rachel made me feel like a million bucks on our wedding day, and was down for literally anything. At one point we were jumping over a creek, climbing over a fence, or walking through a field of tall grass. She went above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed of for my wedding. I know we will continue to use her for literally anything and everything we possibly can! My sister already has her graduation pictures booked with her. One word of advice to anyone, YOU NEED TO HIRE HER! You will not regret it, I promise! She will make your wedding day or any big event in your life! I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication to us! I cannot say enough good things about her. Just hire her... Thank you Rachel!
Rachel is absolutely amazing! My husband hates getting his picture taken, but Rachel was so down to earth and made the whole thing so easy and comfortable! Throughout the entire pr...
ocess, she always responded timely to any questions and Rachel made sure to get little details of the wedding that were most important. On the day of the wedding, she was helpful, cheerful and made taking photos stress free! My husband and I are beyond thrilled about our pictures! We highly recommend! There isn’t a better photographer around!
Rachel is amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew she was a perfect fit for our photographer. She is so fun, easy-going and she makes you feel so comfortable as she is taking yo...
ur pictures. Both our engagement and wedding pictures have turned out stunning. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our photos!
Rachel is a true artist and it is SO obvious that she loves what she does. My pictures from the engagement shoot to the big day were out of this world, I'm talking magazine worthy!...
Along with her being an amazing photographer, having her around brought me such peace because I knew without a doubt that she would handle anything that came up and she would go above and beyond to get the perfect shot!
Let me tell you about Rachel!! After meeting my husband and I once she made a trip ALLL the way to the beach with us to capture our dream-engagement photos. When we thought our eng...
agement photos could not be any better we laid eyes on our wedding photos and WOW ❤️ Rachel’s talent is unmatched, she brought a sense of calmness to our wedding day and because of her we can relive all the feelings of that day through our photos for the rest of our lives! I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel for any moment you want captured.
Not only is Rachel an extremely talented and creative photographer, but a beautiful person inside and out. She is so wonderful to work with and will go out of her way to take stres...
s off of her clients. Booking Rachel for our wedding was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. She was always easy to get ahold of, willing to give suggestions/advice, and treats every client like a close friend. I would 110% recommend Rachel every time.
I LOVE MY PHOTOGRAPHER! Just go book her NOW!!! :)
Where to start but that this beautiful, talented photographer helped in more than one way to make our wedding the best day ever....
I found Rachel through social media, Instagram and I knew right away that I would do anything to have her be part of our special day. I loved her style, my gut said message her, tell her you want to use her, like no questions asked. We clicked right away! We booked her and I could not be happier with that decision. RACHEL GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND! She knows what she is doing, her talent shows in every picture she takes and even though she has done a million & one weddings at The Booking House, she found new places to capture some beautiful photos. She cares about her clients, she went out of her way to message me (as snow started to fall for rehearsal) knowing I took care of my girls, for the cold weather, to ask me if I took care of myself. She brought me her hunter boots to wear so that I could truck through the snow for pictures! And the next day she took her OWN BOOTS OFF for another bride!!! She is my dearest friend now, I felt such at peace the day of the wedding knowing she had my back and wanted nothing but for this day, our wedding day to go perfect! If are looking for raw, real and stunning work, stop looking and book Rachel Ruhl Photography! AND SHE LOVES NEW VENUES, OLD VENUES AND TO TRAVEL!!! So message her, NOW!
My husband and I were recently married on June 30, 2018 and Rachel was our photographer. A coworker told me about Rachel and when I looked her up I absolutely adored her photos. Th...
e lighting of her photos is amazing and it definitely is what caught my attention when looking up her work. She knows how to capture the perfect moment and manages to get the light at just the right angle to create a breathtaking photograph. Beyond that, she was very accommodating, professional, and listened to what my husband and I wanted in terms of photographs taken during the wedding. She went above and beyond on the wedding day by helping the guys to attach their boutonnieres, carrying the signs I wanted in photographs, fixing my hair on a 105+ degree day, and encouraging the guests to dance when it was 80 degrees in the barn and the dance floor was empty. I can't say enough about Rachel Ruhl Photography. We have so many photos that we love, it is so hard to choose the ones that we want to print and share with our family and friends! We highly recommend Rachel Ruhl Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Central Pennsylvania area. Rachel did a fabulous job and we are so happy with our choice for our wedding photographer. We will cherish them for a lifetime! Thank you again, Rachel!
Where do I even begin with Rachel? The entire process from start to finish was amazing. And not only did we get FLAWLESS pictures, but I also feel like I gained a friend in the pro...
cess :) She knows the wedding industry/vendors so well and was so supportive through the whole process. We got married October 20th and by October 21st we had a sneak peak gallery! I was literally in tears looking at them, simply amazing. She is so laid back which totally helped to calm my anxious spirit. She takes charge of a situation when it's needed, but also still captures the true, emotional feelings in that moment. If you are looking for a creative, down-to-earth, "knows-her-stuff" photographer, Rachel is your girl, look no further :)
BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!! If you are looking for someone that is laid back, but takes control and creates beautiful photos, Rachel is your girl! I don't even know where to begin wi...
th how impressed I was with her. She went above and beyond for our engagement photos & wedding photos and I couldn't be happier! I mentioned to her that I would love a flower crown (Eucalyptus crown) for our engagement photos and she got the items and created one herself for me! Our wedding day was very unique and had torrential down pours, but she was there for me - not only as a photographer, but as someone that was able to keep me calm when I was clearly upset about all of the rain. She would place us where it was dry and she, herself, would be in the rain to get some AMAZING shots!! Every single person commented about how beautiful our photos were! I can't even imagine my wedding day without her there!!! Not only did all of my wedding party love her, but so did ALL of my vendors! She is so easy to work with and makes things so fun!
Rachel is amazing. From the first meeting, which had the potential to be super awkward but wasn't; to the engagement shoot, where she put up with our anxious dog and got fantastic ...
shots despite our uneasiness in front of the camera; to the wedding, where she provided a calm presence, yet was authoritative when she needed to direct the show. I highly recommend Rachel Ruhl Photography for any event where you want your personal, unique story to be captured. Rachel was a true professional, timely in returning our albums, and her work (and that of second shooter Heidi!) speaks for itself
Rachel is absolutely AMAZING! I was so worried about finding a photographer who would capture all of the little details and candid moments like I always pictured.. and Rachel truly...
outdid herself. She took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and completely understood my vision and made it come to life. Vanessa also tagged along for our engagement shoot and wedding day photography and is also EXCELLENT! From our engagement session to our wedding day, I could not have been any happier with how our photos turned out. They managed to capture all of the details even I didn’t notice the day of the wedding. They are so easy and upbeat to work with, and make the whole process very enjoyable. You’ll even find that your man will enjoy the photo shoots.. even though that’s hard to imagine! We will most definitely be using Rachel for any photos we need done in the future and I HIGHLY recommend her for any special occasion you want to remember forever!
Rachel is truly amazing. She captures more than just moments....she captures connection, love and everything in between. We met over coffee to discuss what my vision for our big da...
y was and to say she nailed it is an understatement. Her vibe as a professional and person made me feel calm and taken care of on our wedding day...I did not stress at all about making sure those perfect shots were captured! Rachel caught all the tiny details that I hoped everyone would notice at our wedding and more. We will cherish our memories forever <3
