always responsive and happy to meet with us and answer any questions. As someone who isn’t that comfortable in front of a camera, Rachel made us feel super comfortable, confident, and I cannot believe how beautiful all of the photos have turned out. Rachel is truly a photographer who will go above and beyond and her kind, fun, and calming presence made the biggest difference on ur wedding day. All of my bridesmaids want her for their weddings and I cannot recommend her enough!

nd it really helped us be prepared for photo cues and posing, which made wedding day photos so quick and easy. Rachel was efficient and helped keep our day running smoothly which was super important to us. We didn’t want to spend hours taking pics with the bridal party, which we didn’t. And still got tons of amazing shots of the group and all of our people! We were able to get extended family pictures, beautiful portraits with my husband and I, and hundreds of pics of our friends & family dancing at the reception. Rachel has given us excellent communication, timeliness, photo quality, and most importantly, gorgeous memories from our perfect day. Would recommend her to anyone!

hotography style is unmatched - we and all of our family and friends were so impressed with our photo galleries. We’ve gotten so many compliments. We loved our special day and it’s so great to be able to reminisce over it with such quality pictures. So happy we decided to have Rachel capture our special moments and look forward to working with her again in the future.

of the camera, Rachel will pose you and give you direction. She also worked with all our other vendors to help make sure the day ran smoothly. She's super professional, funny, and an expert while it comes to weddings. She made sure we got all the photos we wanted and helped use recreate some that we liked on Pinterest. She even drove us to our ceremony! She goes above and beyond and i wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture our wedding day. We love our photos. Thank you!! Book with Rachel!!

the end of our wedding, we wanted her to stay and hang out like she was one of our own family members. We didn't have to lift a finger and we didn't miss a single shot during our entire experience. We gave her long lists of family photos, Pinterest ideas, etc., and she kept everything we shared in mind and every person organized on our wedding day. She used her extensive experience to provide even more amazing poses and ideas day of that we never would have thought of and we know we'll cherish forever. As a guy without a keen sense of what to do in a photo other than smile, Rachel was fantastic in helping me get "posed", giving clear directions on where my hands should be, where to look, and everything. Again, the picture quality cannot be understated! Unlike many other wedding photographers who rely on oversaturated color edits or intrusive filters, Rachel works hard to make only necessary edits that bring each special moment to life, while keeping all the colors vivid and real. That means she is very good and can be trusted to get the very best shots in the moment too. She also captures great shots in low light at the reception (another RARE FIND)! Her detail shots are exquisite, and in general, she made my wife and I feel so special and cared for. If you are on the fence, get off of it and immediately call or email Rachel. She is supremely talented, experienced, comes prepared, makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and is an utter joy to be around. It's a win-win-win scenario.

s to do so. She is friendly and very responsive and had previews back to me two days after the event. The best!!

een friends for years- which is so important for your wedding photographer. She was so timely too with our photos compared to friends getting married around the same time. The cherry on top was the beautiful work she gave us! 10/10 we were even in west Michigan!

hang out with and Rachel is so fun and easy going we had so much fun with her. Her photos are amazing and natural. She does a lot of fun and unique poses but also captures ALL OF the candid moments. My husband and I are not photogenic people or people that choose to takes photos but you'd never be able to tell from our engagement and wedding photos. She also knew this going into our wedding day and made the posed photo process go as quick as possible while still getting all the shots I wanted. Getting previews a few days after your wedding is awesome and not something all photographers will do. Her delivery time for the full package was also good. It was Rachels first time at our wedding and ceremony venue . She went over to the venue a bit before us and you'd never know she hadn't shot there before. Just as important as her photos and her personality she really cares about her couples and their WHOLE wedding day. Looking back on my day and planning Rachel did several things for us that she really didn't have to but truly helped our day be perfect! (bringing out dance floor props, helping with our timeline, drying my flowers when I was sick of getting them out of the vase).

articulate or describe. She made everything incredibly easy and smooth, offering advice on everything from pictures to timeline to how to deal with the venue coordinator that I didn't care for. And finally, the photos we got from her are stunning. I am obsessed with all of them. She 100% captured the beauty and emotion of the day from start to finish. I cannot recommend her enough, and I cannot explain how thrilled I was through the whole process with her. Would choose her 10000x over, and I fully plan to continue using her for any photo needs we have in the future.

really puts you at ease and makes the whole experience a lot of fun. She’s super responsive, always willing to help with any aspect, and really makes your day run smooth. It’s truly like having a best friend cheering you on the whole time. I will always go to Rachel for all of our photo needs, seriously book her!

g Rachel was professional and kind. My husband and I then got to meet her at our engagement shoot (I highly recommend an engagement shoot if you hire her for wedding photos). Rachel was on time and did not waste one minute! She immediately got to work, recommended poses for us, and adjusted hair/clothes/make-up (which I really appreciated). Not only did the pictures turn out beautiful she also got them back quick! Rachel stayed in constant contact with me during the wedding planning and helped me with the timeline. The day of the wedding Rachel was again on time and professional. I was an absolute disaster and Rachel helped to relax me. Exactly one month after the wedding we got our gallery back (only one month!). My husband and I were absolutely blown away! She took sooo many photos and each one was perfect. I often look back at my engagement/wedding photos in complete awe. Everything was perfect from the posing to editing and everything in-between. Rachel was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding. I plan to use Rachel for y by f right f feet g hugger you can get it to you tomorrow morning or later today and I can get it to you tomorrow morning or I can future photos! If you are unsure about a photographer look no further Rachel is the BEST!

saw Rachel’s work through recommendations and knew we would be a great fit. She made sure we got all the views we wanted and made our courthouse wedding look fantastic. Cannot recommend enough!

. She was a fantastic listener and always put our wants first while at the same time offering helpful suggestions when we weren’t sure what to do. When it came time to take the actual pictures, Rachel made it a really easy process. For both the engagement and wedding sessions, we went to spots we had planned to go to, but she was able to find spots within the location that were unplanned but looked great in the moment. She made it incredibly easy to be the subject of all of these photos, giving easy cues and instruction to cut through the awkward tension of us never having professional photos taken before. On the day of the wedding, she was great at staying on schedule without ever making it feel like we were rushing through things. Through all of this though, what stood out the most was how friendly she was. Every step of the way, Rachel was incredibly easy to talk to, would crack jokes, reassure us that things were fine, and calmed us down through the stress that comes on your wedding day. We can’t recommend hiring her enough and would be happy to work with her again.

phone call with Rachel, we instantly felt so much more comfortable about the whole process. By the time we were done with our engagement photos, all of our photo nerves were gone! Rachel is easygoing, incredibly professional, super organized, and is a GREAT communicator. She is a truly wonderful person to work with. Oh, and we are absolutely in LOVE with our wedding photos. We can’t recommend Rachel enough!

destination wedding. Not only will she deliver stunning pictures but she is the best hype girl for your big day!

for candid moments to happen. It felt like she naturally fit in with our group and had a comfortable presence. Not only did she deliver amazing photos of us, but we got some great pictures that showed off our venue, families mingling, and couples on the dance floor. She captured memories instead of just pictures, and for that we are thankful!

absolutely stunning works of art- in the moment you can't tell, but looking at them I can see her vision with how she balanced groups by height or why she chose a specific background. She worked hard to get us tons of previews early the morning after the wedding! On Christmas Eve! Rachel is such a fun and nice person, we would have loved her presence at our wedding even if she weren't our photographer. She clearly loves her job and is so good at it. I can't recommend her enough. I am so so grateful to have her beautiful photos to remember our day by.

ckdrops, lightening, outfits, etc. all came together to create beautiful shots! I highly recommend Rachel if you want someone who you can enjoy the day with and get some insanely beautiful shots from!

eone your comfortable with and Rachel is all of that and more. You will be laughing your BUTTS off and having the time of your life on the most special day of your life. Rachel feels like a family friend and all of the pictures she captures are real genuine smiles and good times. Seriously, just book her now!

y did not disappoint. They were beautiful! I did a fall couple photoshoot and the pictures were AMAZING! I met her through my cousin and will definitely be hiring her for my wedding and all the future photoshoots to come!

that she always wants to make sure the photos are to your liking and asked about what photo poses and etc we wanted. She goes above and beyond to make sure each client is happy and has the best experiences and great photos to last a lifetime. I would recommend her to everyone!

lling to roam around downtown with us to take pictures at various locations. Most importantly though, her photos ended up amazing and she even got some of them send to us same day! I can’t thank her enough for making our special day extra special : )

wedding aesthetic perfectly and I could not have asked for anything better! I would HIGHLY recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who will 100% care about you and work to create the perfect day for you.

photographer for every life event. She is bubbly, talented, and really captures the unique and intimate moments you don't want to forget. HIRE HER, you will not regret it.

d give her more than five stars I would!!

nced and definitely knows what she is doing. We were so happy with our pictures. We have gotten so many compliments about how amazing they turned out. I would definitely recommend Rachel.

eral, which continued to be a highlight on the big day. She was super professional and got stuff done without us feeling pressured in any way. She really focused on capturing more staged yet candid photos for more natural poses, which was just way more comfortable for us as well. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rachel as a photographer as well as a person.

clients to create a beautiful story!

th Rachel as she is very PRO bride and groom— meaning that she advocated for us the entire day and made sure that we got every single shot that we wanted. She also made us feel so comfortable and took away any of the “awkwardness” that sometimes comes when you are getting photos done. I would recommend her to anyone and she is the only person I trust to capture the most important photos of my family and I.

ng day!! Even my husband (who hates pictures) had so much fun laughing with her. I loved taking pictures with Rachel because she made us comfortable, we were able to slow down & truly enjoy the moment. She was so helpful with fixing my hair/dress, adjusting us when we looked awkward, and even showing us pictures throughout the day. She also helped calm me down when I was stressed about the possibility of rain, because I really wanted outdoor pictures. The night before our wedding she even drove all over town to find us 2 clear umbrellas..which, as luck would have it, we did not end up needing. I was shocked she was able to provide our previews SO QUICKLY as well as deliver the gallery sooner than I expected. I have had so many people compliment our wedding photos and tell me how much fun our photographer was. I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. She is so funny, down to earth, kind, and easy to work with. I will 100% use her in the future for any photography needs. Thank you Rachel for capturing our day so perfectly and authentically!

l so relaxed and comfortable. Not to mention the STUNNING pictures we got in return. We've received so many compliments on the poses, editing, and overall quality of the photos. I cannot recommend her enough!

er. Not only did she capture the most amazing photos of one of my favorite days, she was also always willing to help out in other ways! She always made sure my dress and hair looked great. She was so fun to be around and helped to keep my stress at bay. I 10/10 recommend Rachel for your big day!

ht of ideas could not even dream of. The spots she found for Logan and I to take photos looks like something out of a movie. She found this spot that I didn’t even think of and took the most gorgeous photos. Our bridal party and family photos turned out beautifully too! She make incredible calls on where and when to take photos. This allows us to stay on schedule and get beautiful shots! I trusted her with everything and she made it so incredibly worth it! Book Rachel and you won’t regret it! She is gifted and has a heart of gold!

red to do every single on and more. Our photos came out so amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.

with. There were quite a few hiccups that Rachel seamlessly worked around on our big day. 10/5 stars!!
