About this vendor
WELCOME! I am so happy you are viewing my page! Weddings are my absolute favorite and I would love the opportunity to capture your special day.
My name "RAW Images" comes from my maiden name first, but also comes from my "look" of an image. I focus on the rawness of the image. I never over-edit. The image itself is a work of art. It's a pure moment in life that you get to keep forever. Light and airy is my goal every shot.

Rachel created the most enjoyable experience and provided the most beautiful capture of our wedding day! She remained in consistent and frequent communication with us throughout the 11 months of our engagement. What I appreciate most is the timeliness of Rachel's response to all questions and concerns. I never had to wait more than a day for a response.. if that! Her and her second shooter were easy to work with, fun, and added to the positive environment we worked to create on our day. Most importantly, we received the most beautiful, carefully selected photos to capture our day!
Gabe and I were so lucky to have found Rachel to be our photographer for our wedding! Rachel was so easy to work with, always responding quickly, and truly wanted to do all that she could to make our wedding day what we wanted it to be. We had a preview of pictures from our wedding in under a week and got our full gallery in less than a month! She is incredible!!
Brides, you spend a lot of time with your photographer!! From planning, to engagement pictures, to the actual wedding day, you want someone like Rachel to help you through it all!
Rachel is AMAZING!! She is absolutely the sweetest and will help you in anyway you need! Her pictures are awesome and I could not be happier! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! She was an absolute blessing to work with! ♥️
When looking to hire a wedding photographer, my husband and I were looking for someone whose photos were truly able to capture the joy of the occasion. Moreover, we wanted to be able to have someone whose personality allowed them to elicit natural, happy smiles from the posed pictures. Rachel Howard was fantastic to work with, helping us to create a wedding package that suited our needs perfectly and exceeding our expectations in multiple areas regarding the photography. Within 2 weeks, we had received nearly 500 edited photos (an amazing turnaround!), and the cheerful style and natural lighting that had before arrested our attentions were present in all of them. Needless to say, each time we have looked through the pictures, either by ourselves or with friends and family, it has been a source of great joy. We highly look forward to being able to have multiple of the images printed and framed, and would highly advise anyone else to work with this wonderful wedding photographer!
Where do I begin? There are not enough words to rave about RAW Images with in the dictionary. Rachel carries the class of the utmost professional, work ethic like no other and an obvious passion that is oh, so contagious. She travelled from Alabama to Massachusetts to make my husband and I's dream come true--capturing our love with such clarity, all while making us look like naturals in front of the camera. Rachel is extremely organized and near-doubled as the wedding planner keeping all the vendors in coordination...did I mention she did this from halfway across the country??
She made each and every person in our family, bridal party and even extended family & guests feel special with a simple click of her camera, not missing a minute of our day! She even travelled a few days early to capture several events leading up to the wedding for us. Travel expenses were covered by us but man was it WORTH IT! Her rates beat any photographer in the Northeast.
I had absolute confidence in choosing RAW images as our photographer, not only because of her big, Southern heart but because of her endless dedication to bettering herself in her field. This lady-boss is always striving to improve her insane talents and won't take a break until her clients are satisfied. Her turnaround time cannot be beat. She is the total package. I would recommend RAW images to anyone looking to treasure their memories for a lifetime, for any event and cannot wait to use her again in the future... I mean she even brings baby goats to Easter sessions. Thank you again.
I cannot say enough great things about Rachel! She was amazing to work with and truly a delight to be around. She made the whole day roll effortlessly and answered every question I had before and during my wedding day in a matter of minutes. Our engagement session with her was so fun! She made us feel like models. And the pictures....WOW, they are truly amazing and something I will cherish forever. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer because she is incredible with a camera and as a human as well. Thank you so much Rachel! Working with you was truly the best!!
I don't even know where to begin as Rachel was the absolute best and her work is fabulous!!! Such a doll and so easy to work with. She is a true professional as she had everyone's attention while taking wedding party and family pictures. From this organized, schedule loving mother of the bride, her wedding day timeline was the ultimate in organization. Several family members were amazed at how quickly and easily so many pictures were made. She took stress out of the day with regards to photography. Rachel recommended hiring a 2nd photographer and it was well worth the money (especially if the bride and groom are getting ready at different locations, not to mention more opportunities to get great pictures as one person can't be in more than one place at a time). She and Lizzy made a great team! I would, without hesitation, hire her again in the future!
Rachel was the very best photographer for our engagement pictures and wedding day that I could've imagined! She was so easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. She offered advice when it came to scheduling and other random parts of the wedding day. The detailed schedule she created for the wedding day was amazing! On wedding day, she was incredible! She made taking pictures easy and made us feel like real life models! She even drove us from the church to the reception venue. She finished over 1100 pictures in such a short amount of time and every one of them is perfect! I am so excited to have so many to choose from and can't wait to have them hanging all over my house. Rachel is the very best and I can't wait to use her for everything in the future!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Rachel. I could not imagine a better person to have spent eight or more hours with on the most special day of my life. Rachel's communication and professionalism were far above and beyond my expectations from my first inquiry through our engagement photos, wedding day, and beyond. Her communication was always quick, clear, and exceptionally helpful. There was not a question that I asked her that she did not answer and answer very quickly! Rachel is far more than a photographer - she is a planner, a professional, an organizer, a wealth of wedding knowledge, and truly a wonderful, wonderful person. Our photos (all of them!) are just stunning, and she returned them so quickly. I will most certainly be working with Rachel in the future, and I am immensely glad to have found her and RAW Images!
First of all, Rachel is amazing. She is so helpful, funny, organized, and professional. I had no idea about anything and she was there every step of the way to help me plan everything from photography timeline to how to cut my cake 😂 she was a big part of making my day run as smoothly as possible and I had no worries because I knew Rachel would have everything in order and have everyone running on a tight schedule. So thankful for her in so many ways!
WOW! Where do I even begin? I booked with Rachel about 9 months before my wedding date and I promise she was there for me at any moment, anytime during those 9 months! She was constantly checking in to see if there was anything she could help with: recommendations, scheduling, picture ideas, coordinating, etc. Rachel isn't the photographer that puts your name down and doesn't think about you until 1-2 days before your event; she wants to know what type of photos you want, what you expect from her, what's important to you and ultimately wants to overall get to know you and your groom. When it came to the big day, she was a rockstar. Constantly making sure we were on schedule, checking off the pictures I requested and making me feel comfortable (which was so important to me, I am awkward!). Photography isn't just a job or a hobby for Rachel, it is her passion and it is 100% shown through her work. Trust me, you won't regret booking with Rachel!
Rachel is an amazing photographer and fully captured every bit of joy in our day. You can tell she loves her job and she loves you as a couple when she's shooting your wedding. She did our engagement pictures and we had so much fun taking them. Rachel makes sure you feel comfortable and beautiful the whole day. She's so knowledgable about wedding timelines too! She helped us stay on schedule and not feel rushed.
Rachel did such an amazing job photographing our engagement and wedding pics! She was super organized and made sure our big day stayed on schedule and ran smoothly, which was a huge help to me. She finished editing all of our pics very quickly and even made sure I had some to use for Christmas gifts. If you’re looking for a phenomenal photographer for your special day, I would HIGHLY recommend using her!
Rachel is great to work with!!! She is very organized and did a great job capturing my daughter’s wedding. Highly recommend!
RAW Images did an amazing job photographing my wedding! I was able to show Rachel different pictures that I loved and we were able to recreate them. She allowed time to take plenty of pictures and to even get shots on different areas of the property. I also loved that she provided a schedule for the day, this made the day go by smoother and took stress off of me!
Rachel was amazing to work with on our wedding day! She made sure the whole process ran smoothly and the pictures turned out beautifully! Pick RAW Images for your wedding day and you will not be disappointed!!
