We chose Rachelle Horning Photography for our recent wedding and couldn’t be happier. She was insightful, thorough and organized when it came to planning which couple and family po...
rtraits we wanted on our big day, and on the day of our wedding, she was timely, efficient, personable, kind, flexible, and empathetic. She was so easy to work with and made our wedding portraits feel very comfortable, and she went with all of our visions and ideas while giving us guidance and structured poses in a way that felt natural when we needed it. We were so blown away by Rachelle’s beautiful photos in our sneak peek, which came with a very quick turnaround time, and we can’t wait to see our final gallery because these photos are everything we dreamed of and more! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough if you’re thinking of hiring her as your photographer for any occasion.
Rachelle (and Josh!) made all of our dreams come true! I can't say enough about how thrilled we are with our wedding photos.
The booking process was incredibly smooth and Rachell...
e was available for any and all questions! Nothing was too silly or small. Rachelle did a great job creating a timeline that worked for us and what we wanted out of our day.
On the day of, Rachelle arrived early and set up very fast! She immediately got to work shooting our detail shots, getting ready candids, and photos with my bridesmaids. Josh went to a different location to be with all the guys, so we were able to get so many pictures before the wedding even started!
Our formal wedding photos at the church with our families went sooo smooth and fast! This was really important to us since our grandparents weren't able to stand for very long, so we appreciated the efficiency.
Rachelle took tons of candids of the bridal party on the party bus on the way back to the reception which was so fun and got everyone ready and in the mood to party! She also had such fun prompts to make our candids feel more relaxed and easy. We took our couples portraits so quickly and we got SO MANY!! Rachelle and Josh made us feel so comfortable and at ease.
Lastly, I was expecting maybe 20-30 pics in our sneak peek and we got 120!!!! We had the best time on our honeymoon looking through our photos everyday!!
Book Rachelle for your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed!
Rachelle was one of the first vendors I booked for our wedding on 9/3/22 and I am SO glad I did. From the very first inquiry call she was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. When ...
we had our engagement shoot we both weren't sure what to expect but she made us feel so comfortable and like ourselves in front of the camera. From the first sneak peak of the session I knew we made the best decision by booking with her. Throughout the whole planning process she was so organized and that really helped us manage the stress. I knew I could trust Rachelle and that she would let me know when next steps were needed. On the day of, Rachelle and Josh were SO supportive. From wrangling our huge wedding party and family to checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay- we wouldn't have survived the day without them. Within a few days after the wedding when we got our sneak peak I was so ecstatic because the photos were everything I dreamed of and more! She truly captured the love we shared on our wedding day and I couldn't be happier. Rachelle was truly wonderful throughout the entire experience and I cannot say enough good things about her! Not only is she a wonderful person but she is an incredibly talented photographer. If you are looking for a wedding photographer honestly look no further because Rachelle is amazing and we were so lucky to have worked with her.
Rachelle was absolutely wonderful!!! She made us feel so comfortable during the entire day and got us back our sneak peak photos the very next day. I love every photo. She really ...
captured everything from getting ready, to the first kiss, to dancing at the reception. I also love her editing style. I could not have asked for a better photographer!!!
Rachelle was so sweet and funny!
We had a blast doing our engagement photos with her and cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding in one year!
Thank you so much for our photos :)...
Rachelle was an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she extremely professional, she is extremely charismatic and easy to be around. She was extremely helpful with the plannin...
g process and with coordinating for the day of. We had the opportunity to also have Joshua as a second shooter and we are SO glad we did. Both parties had a wonderful time hanging out with Rachelle and Joshua all day. Our families and friends had nothing but good things to say about both of them. Rachelle was also super accommodating - she travelled over 3 hours for our wedding and then came to my parents house for an additional Chinese tea ceremony. AND she had a sneak peek gallery of ~80 photos ready 48 hours later!! We couldn’t be more pleased with Rachelle Horning Photography. We will definitely be using Rachelle again for our future photography needs!! 11/10 recommend!!!
Rachelle is the sweetest soul and most talented photographer I’ve ever worked with! I had the pleasure of having her photograph my engagement and elopement. To say I was blown away...
by the pictures I received is an understatement.
During those sessions, we never felt uncomfortable or rushed. Rachelle made us feel as though we were her top priority. She has a special way of eliciting the most authentic smiles and candid moments!
In addition to her talents, she is extremely adaptable when things change suddenly.
My officiant had to change the location of the ceremony (right before it was supposed to start), and Rachelle never missed a beat! She was still able to capture the most beautiful pictures, even with the last minute venue change.
She truly went above and beyond for myself, my husband, and our families on our wedding day.
I couldn’t be more grateful that I chose Rachelle for my special day!
Rachelle is amazing to work with! We hired her for our engagement photos and she will be shooting our wedding! Our engagement session came out better than I could imagine. My fianc...
é and I aren’t comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Rachelle made it so easy for us. I honestly cant wait to see our photos after our wedding!
Rachelle was so incredible for our wedding! She had clear communication with us before the big day to know what we wanted out of the photos and who was needed where and when for th...
e pictures. For the big day, she was on top of things. Everything went seamlessly with getting ready photos to first look and beyond. On top of things, Rachelle puts in the work to stay on top of her craft. She would recommend different poses and prompts that we had never seen and they made beautiful shots!
For delivery, she was able to get a preview of 75 photos out to us within 24 hours! I was astounded and so so pleased, they were beautiful! We were able to share them with our friends and family before we even left for the honeymoon! The whole photo gallery was so stunning and we were just so happy with the results. I cannot recommend Rachelle enough! She captured everything so perfectly for the day. You will not regret hiring her for your big day!!
Rachelle is the most professional, fun, and amazing photographer! She has an eye for exactly what she wants each picture to look like and makes the entire experience fun and worry ...
free. You never feel awkward or like you don't know what you're doing- she tells you exactly what to do- how to look- and makes you laugh the entire time. We are in love with EVERY picture she took at our wedding. She captured our day perfectly and delivered us our full gallery in no time!!! I can't wait to hire her for EVERYTHING ELSE! She even flew all the way to Massachusetts from Pennsylvania to shoot our special day. If you haven't hired Rachelle yet, you should. She is amazing!
My husband and I hired Rachelle for our wedding last September. She is highly professional and so personable. Not only are Rachelle's pictures absolutely jaw-dropping, her services...
went above and beyond the day of the wedding. Rachelle and her assistant were phenomenal. They put the whole wedding party at ease. They helped with the dresses and boutonnieres, made sure we were all hydrated, and pretty much helped organize everything as soon as they got there - all the while catching the most beautiful moments on her camera. She really knows how to capture the moment - the laughter, the love, the quiet looks worth a thousand words. She is truly an artist. All of our guests were impressed with her and everyone loves our pictures. We will cherish them forever.
Hire her, you wont regret it!
