Rachelle Rae Photography

Rachelle was so easy to work with and immediately made my husband and I feel comfortable behind the camera. She is very talented at what she does and if you’re lucky she’ll bring along her assistant, Annie. If you want beautiful pictures and an even more amazing person to work with then book Rachelle!!

Rachelle was so kind, professional and had wonderful communication! She did my husband and I engagement photos and wedding day photos. They turned out exactly how I pictured. Our goal was to have timeless professional photos and she did exactly that! She has worked at multiple venues all over Grand Rapids so she has so much experience working with the venue and knowing where the best lighting is! I would highly recommend Rachelle and will definitely work with her in the future. Thanks Rachelle!

We booked Rachelle after our family friends recommended her and we are so happy we did. Not only are her pictures beautiful, but her and her partner (Julie) are the sweetest!! Our bridal party had a wonderful time. We got several comments after our wedding from family/friends on how discrete they were both at the church and reception. We loved her so much we just booked her for our newborn photos!!

Amazing photography! She took time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable behind the camera. Took tons of photos from all different angles that I never thought I need. Made our dreams come true and then some! Highly recommend to make your day perfect!

Rachelle is the absolute best!! So easy to communicate with and such a professional. Besides her fantastic photographic skills and eye, she gives helpful direction for those of us who don't necessarily feel 100% comfortable in front of a camera. The 2nd shooter she had along with her for our wedding was also very talented and professional. With Rachelle you can be confident your engagement and wedding photos will turn out beautifully and that she will support the whole vision for your wedding. She takes all details into account and works seamlessly with other vendors. Book Rachelle Rae Photography and confidently check this very important item off your planning to-do list!

Rachelle was our engagement/ wedding photographer and we are so grateful that we entrusted her to capture our day. Rachelle is both professional and personable and great at what she does. She communicated with us regularly in preparation for our wedding day and helped us establish a schedule to ensure that our day ran seamlessly and that she did not miss any special moments. We were extremely satisfied with the quality and quantity of images we received from Rachelle and appreciate the extra time she took to personalize our wedding album so that we can look back on our day and enjoy the memories forever. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Rachelle and would recommend her to anyone in search of a wedding photographer.

Rachelle (and her assistant Annie) were awesome to work with! The pictures for our wedding came out beautifully, and we're so excited to have these moments in time captured for us to cherish forever! We booked her "elopement" package for our wedding, and I'm so glad we did! We got all the pictures we wanted from our special day! We would absolutely work with her again (and hope to someday, maybe for family portraits?), and we'll definitely be recommending her to friends and family!

Rachelle was so amazing to work with, and was so accommodating even with all the hassle of having to change our original date due to the coronavirus pandemic! She went above and beyond, and my husband and I are SO happy with how our photos turned out!! I highly highly recommend her!!

Rachelle is amazing!!! Both our engagement and wedding photos were so unbelievably beautiful and truly captured me and my husband perfectly. In addition to her talent, Rachelle is so personable, friendly, and professional! She was so helpful in answering questions and offering advice when needed throughout our entire engagement. The photo booth pictures are the highest quality photo booth I’ve ever seen! Can’t wait to use Rachelle for future family pictures! :)

From our very first meeting, we knew that Rachelle was going to be the perfect photographer for us. We didn't even bother to meet with anyone else. Rachelle was very easy to work with and was very flexible with our availability to make sure that our engagement photos went off without a hitch. She was even willing to go out on a cold winter day to get some truly beautiful photos of us. Her detailed knowledge of photography and lighting helped to create some beautiful settings in places that you wouldn't even think would allow it. We never would have thought that photos could be taken in a empty parking lot and be some of our favorites just from her keen eye. When it came to the wedding, Rachelle and her second shooter did an amazing job of getting pictures without us even noticing they were there. They did a great job of staying out the way and yet got some beautiful shots of us. Once again, her ability to use different photography tricks made for some amazing shots of us and our wedding party. We couldn't wait to share all of our photos with our friends and family, and these photos will serve as beautiful reminders of our special day for years to come. We would recommend Rachelle to anyone looking for a photographer for their event, whether it is a wedding, engagement photos, or any other occasion you want lasting memories of.

We hired Rachelle for our engagement photo session and our wedding. Rachelle is amazing...she's so personable and focuses so much on getting the perfect shot. She was efficient and flexible and was always available for communication! We got married on October 3rd and got our photo preview back a week later and are absolutely in love! I think I've looked through it 100 times :) And we can't wait to get our full portfolio of photos...Rachelle (and her assistant) did a phenomenal job capturing the emotions and beauty of the most important day of our lives! Finding the right photographer and someone who could capture exactly what we wanted was one of the most important decisions we made, and we definitely made a great choice! We highly recommend Rachelle Rae Photography!

I wish we could give higher than 5 stars because I just don't think this describes how happy my family and I are with Rachelle. We are waiting on all of the pictures still, but the first 100 that we have seen have all been AMAZING! On the day, Rachelle was buzzing around making sure that she got all the details we put into the day. It is very nice to have someone looking at all the small details. She was also very diligent to make sure we got all the shots that we needed to before and after the ceremony. During the reception, we had a photo booth, which all the guests loved. She also did an amazing job to capture all the fun everyone was having, especially my husband and I. She got some amazing shots that really will help us remember everything from years to come. If you are looking for a sweet, caring photographer that really wants to give you everything you ask for, book Rachelle now. She is fantastic!

We couldn’t have picked a better photography company than Rachelle Rae Photography. Rachelle and her photography team were professional, courteous, driven, caring, detail-oriented, creative, friendly, and so much more. Here are just a few of the many reasons why Rachelle was the best pick. Rachelle was nice enough to drive to meet with us a few months before the wedding to sit down and discuss all of the details of the wedding for 3+ hours. Time flew by talking with her because we enjoyed the conversation so much, and it was so nice of her to care about getting every single detail. Rachelle also held to her word of unlimited time, being that she began the wedding day during the preparations early in the morning (8am I believe) and stayed until we had our grand exit at midnight. What a long day for them, and she did not miss a beat. The photos came out perfect. She captured everything we wanted and more. There are too many great shots to choose from for framing. Being the groom of the wedding, my favorite part about having Rachelle as our photographer is the value. She was about half the price of all of the other photographers, and we liked her work the best anyways when we were shopping around. She also included a photo booth for our reception and came to shoot our wedding party a few days before the wedding at a lakehouse we rented for the week (I believe this was in place of engagement photos). We could not have picked a better photography company. I highly recommend Rachelle Rae Photography. You’ll be happy you picked her too.

Rachelle goes above and beyond! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer! She begins when you want her to and stays as long as you want. Her wedding package includes so many things it made things easy for planning!

Rachelle is an AMAZING photography and I absolutely LOVED having her for my wedding and engagement photographer. She was just starting out when I booked her so I was a little concerned about her lack of experience but I was proved wrong. She is so easy to work with, super fun, and she has the ability to capture personality within the picture. She wasn't afraid of a challenging shot and we got so much for the price we paid. I couldn't find a better deal and have been recommending her to everyone I know. I will definitely use her for future family sessions.
