I would like to note that there were a few hurdles when it came to our pictures. 1) The area around our venue was rather industrial, and there were very few spaces within walking d...istance that provided a good background for the type of pictures we were looking for. 2) My husband was barely 5 months post op from his 4th major surgery on the same joint in 1 year. Needless to say…he was still dealing with a bit of pain, and unable to walk long distances. 3) My sister-in-law, and one of our bridesmaids, was also about 5 months post-op, and due to unforeseen complications, was still unable to walk. (During surgery, she was predicted to be walking and healed up by our wedding, but unfortunately there were complications.) These few things provided real challenges, but Rachel and Chris took them in stride and were able to work with us in order to get the best pictures possible.
The plan changed a couple of times, but thanks to suggestions from this group, we settled on Pamperin Park and I’m very glad we did! Rachel and Chris arrived to the park early and were able to scope out some incredible spots within a very short walking distance! They were incredibly accommodating considering our situation and were able to utilize the scenery to get some really creative and artistic shots!
Our party had a BLAST working with them as they were energetic, friendly, and always eager to hype others up. They also gave great direction for posing which was very helpful, particularly for the few shy-er members of our party. I was also greatly impressed with the amount of times where they would add in shots to our shot-list that I would have never considered. Some of my absolute favorite shots were ones they came up with on the spot! Taking our bridal party pictures was easily my favorite aspect of the day thanks to these two and I am so grateful to have these memories with my husband and closest friends.
Not only was the experience itself great, but they had a remarkable turn-around time for getting our gallery finished and back to us. We were quoted early-mid December, which seemed rather typical based on other people I know and how long it took them to get their galleries back. We were very excited and anticipating the pictures! I messaged them asking if we were able to get a sneak-peak, and low and behold a few days later they returned our entire gallery!
We are absolutely FLOORED by the quality of pictures, and everyone I’ve shown them to has been in awe of how beautiful these images are. A co-worker of mine has asked for their info for a later event and I was all too happy to share their company with her as we are genuinely in awe. The photos we have received genuinely seem more like art and I have never in my life felt more beautiful than in these photos.
All in all, we are EXTREMELY happy with our experience, and results from Rachel and Chris. We highly suggest them to anyone looking for a photographer duo. You will not be disappointed.
