Raelika Photography, LLC

n LGBT couple, it was very important for us for our photographer to understand the intricacies of same-sex relationships, including representing both people individually within the wedding photos and staging photos that are not awkward or heteronormative. Rachael showed us she was able to deliver us our vision and so much more, beginning with our complimentary engagement photoshoot in Baltimore with our dogs. She was so thoughtful about each of our poses and did not hesitate to include our dogs in the shots. We really loved how natural the photos were. And after we received the photos, Rachael was quick to edit them to our liking and did not take offense to our nitpicking with the coloring. Most importantly, at our wedding, Rachael and her assistant were on the ball. They gladly attended to both brides while getting ready on our own and made sure that we both had enough time for individual shots with our bridal party and family members. She took pictures of us for our first look, the ceremony of course, cock-tail hour, and then sunset. Dozens of guests have told me that our wedding pictures were the most beautiful they had ever seen - and I agree. We received hundreds of pictures organized by category, including dozens of natural pictures of moments with our friends, parents, and grandparents, which meant so much to us. Rachael's talent speaks for itself, and it is also worth mentioning her seamless communication and teamwork with the videographer, whom she had never met before. Follow-up emails and communication were also great - we always felt like she understood and supported our wedding day vision. Thank you Rachael!

. She was able to travel for our wedding in September in MA, but even drove to Warwick, NY and back the same day just for our engagement shoot on a rainy October day last year. I can't stop looking at how gorgeous the all the shots are! And even when the second photographer had to call out a week before the wedding, Rachael kept us in the loop and made sure to find a replacement on short notice, who also did wonderful work. If you're looking for a photographer who takes gorgeous shots, has a refined editing style, and handles any situation with kindness and professionalism, we highly highly recommend Rachael!!
