I LOVED working with this team! Rachel was a sweetheart to meet for our engagement shoot. So efficient, quick, and kind! And then we had Louis & Mary - they were a great dynamic duo for our wedding day!!! I cannot wait to see our album! Louis was so cool and would show me sneak peaks off of his camera. And sent me a couple of sneak peaks THE NEXT DAY! I was able to post to instagram / facebook, it was amazing. They are super organized and literally checked off our list of every photo opt we wanted or who we wanted a photo with. Will definitely use them for future shoots with our growing family one day! ☺️🩷

R.J. Rodgers Photography did an exceptional job of capturing our July 20th wedding! We have absolutely no regrets and are so grateful that we booked a photographer who was artistic, organized, and delivered everything that we asked for!
Everything from the small moments of us holding hands prior to our Church ceremony to the dancing with my 84 year old Nana at the reception was captured and photographed in the most beautiful way.
As the saying goes-- "a picture is worth 1000 words" and R.J. Rodgers Photography captured thousands of words for us to look back and relive our favorite day yet!

Rachel hit it out of the park!! Phenomenal experience from beginning to end!! She did our engagement photos and just made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and then on our Wedding day she was on it like white on rice and kept everything feeling cool calm and collected which helped me and my husband feel so relaxed! Punctual, very quick to respond to any questions we had, and we are just over the moon with all of the pictures she's delivered. All of them! GORGEOUS!! If you are looking for a photographer, please give Rachel a call! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely stunning photography from extremely down-to-earth, hardworking, and kind photographers. Everyone that we've shown our pictures to has been completely floored. It's hard to put into words just how fantastic the entire experience was - thank you Rachel (and Brittany!) for giving us so many beautiful memories from our wedding day!

This was my 2nd wedding. I actually also had Rachel as my photographer for my first wedding. Reasons being, she is the most reliable wedding vendor I worked with (both times) her work is beyond stunning, she captured so many amazing, candid moments, as well as posed portraits and she made our day go so smoothly! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! I 110% recommend her for any photography needs. Thank you, Rachel.

I cannot find the words to describe how much it meant to us to get back our photos after our wedding day. Rachel and her assistant did such a beautiful job capturing little moments. There was a huge chance of rain on our day, and Rachel was ready to help us adjust our timeline as needed. She helped us time our ceremony so we could have it outside before the rain began and found moments to get all the photos we wanted. We can't wait to hire Rachel again for our next milestone!

When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone experienced because we are more “live in the moment” couple and don’t often take a ton of photos together. Rachel was the perfect choice for our wedding day- she knows exactly what she is doing and has great communication. I know my family can be kind of annoying with getting their photos taken and she was able to keep everything under control and kept in mind the shots that we wanted. I am so thankful that we had her as our photographer on our big day and we cannot wait to see how our photo turned out. We felt blessed with such wonderful wedding vendors and I highly recommend booking with Rachel!

Rachel and Brittany are amazing! Both our engagement and wedding photography was done by them. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we love having them framed around our home. Both ladies are relaxed, kind, and professional. For our wedding, there was a lot of drama leading up to the day and a few changes that had to be made along the way. Rachel was nothing less than accommodating and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. She even helped organize the wedding day productions! All edited pictures are put into a lovely digital portfolio that makes it easy to share and download. I would 100% recommended RJ Rodgers Photography to anyone in need of a photographer. We are grateful.

Rachel and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! Rachel is very quick at responding and is such an organized person, and her prices are very affordable. She made sure that we felt comfortable during our engagement photo shoot, which helped to make us feel confident on our wedding day! She ensured our wedding day ran smoothly and that all of the pictures we wanted were taken. All of our pictures turned out incredible, and we ended up with about 1000 photos from our wedding day, she captured everything we wanted and more! I cannot say enough good things about Rachel and her team. I look forward to using her in the future for all of our other picture needs!

Rachel was one of my favorite vendors for our wedding. She was incredibly responsive, proactive, and organized, which is a rarity anymore. She was in constant contact with us, which made us feel like a priority and that she was going to take care of everything. During our engagement photo, she picked out a gorgeous spot and even photographed our dogs, who were a bit nervous. On the day of our wedding, she carried around my dress, fixed my car, and drove us to the various photography sites. She is friendly, funny, and easy to be around. As for our wedding photographs, people are saying we look like models, haha! She listened to us and did an amazing job capturing our relationship on our wedding day.

I can't recommend Rachel and Brittany enough. The value for their service and expertise is incredible. She was the MOST responsive vendor I worked with for my wedding, and had great suggestions leading up to the wedding. I also liked that the engagement shoot is included in the package, and this allowed us to get to know her, her style, and get a taste of what wedding day photos might be like. The day of, she and Brittany were there to help out, even with scheduling concerns and wardrobe malfunctions. She also got us our portraits back just days after the wedding to use for a smaller reception the following weekend. Not to mention, the photos are just beautiful!

I could not have picked a better wedding photographer. Rachel was absolutely amazing. She helped keep everything organized and calm. When there was a small issue 3 days before my wedding she was so sweet and helpful. Her work is stunning and she even made sure I had my photo preview before my honeymoon. 10/10 would recommend!🤍

Rachel and Brittany were absolutely incredible! They both were very punctual and accommodating to all of our needs. I also loved that they were willing to split up to have photos at two locations prior to the ceremony. They captured every moment during our ceremony and reception, and had amazing ideas for the in-between photos. Both ladies dressed professionally and discretely; they were not afraid to get dirty to get the perfect shot either! I cannot say enough great things about these two women; we have phenomenal photos to look back on and admire forever thanks to them!

On wedding day, both Rachel and Brittany were incredibly helpful and fun and our pictures turned out better than I could have ever asked for! I would recommend R.J.Rodgers Photography to anyone and everyone!

Rachel (and Britney) were the best ever. Literally. They were so helpful throughout the entire process, engagement pictures to wedding pictures. She truly cared about not only capturing the moment for us, but ensuring our day went as perfectly as possible. Without Rachel, I can't say for certain our big day would have gone as smoothly as it did.

Rachel and Brittany are both truly gifted people!
I can’t say enough how much I appreciate them. Not only did they capture my day absolutely perfect, but they made me and us feel so comfortable during the day. They made sure we were right on track the whole day, something that I was dreading having to worry about. Looking at my pictures makes me re live the day over and over because they got EVERY shot we asked for and more!!! These pictures mean so much to me and to my husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Another thing that I loved is that she is so easy going, really made us feel relaxed and comfortable taking our pictures. We postponed from 2020 and it was so easy to move our date with her. I’m happy that we were able to keep her as our photographer. Thank you times a million!!! Rachel and Brittany are so amazing. You will not get anything less than perfection!

On such a chaotic day, they took away a lot of wedding stress!!

Working with Rachel was fabulous. She was organized and thorough in the planning process, which made our wedding day feel less stressful -- we knew where we needed to be and when. She (and Brittany) were friendly, kind, professional and made us feel at ease through every part of the day. They were amazing to work with. Not to mention, Rachel was flexible through our date changes while navigating the pandemic and we couldn't be more grateful. We received our pictures extremely timely and they are stunning. We have so many images that will help us remember every detail. She knows what she is doing and it shows in the pictures! Thank you Rachel for capturing the best moments of our lives!

Not even sure where to start with how AMAZING Rachel (and Brittany) are! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she's an amazing person and truly cares to make your wedding day photos (and day for that matter) everything you could ever dream of and more! If you aren't choosing her as your photographer, you are missing out!! The knot says "Wow, the best ever!" when you rate 5/5 stars, and they're not wrong at all!
Thank you for absolutely everything you've done for Taylor and I! You are the best!

If we could give Rachel 6 stars, we would!! Her communication skills were unlike any vendor and we knew that she was accessible 24/7. She was the best vendor to work with, especially during a crazy COVID year. Her professionalism yet calming personality made it more assuring that we were getting the highest quality of customer service! She helped us both feel calm and confident on a crazy and hectic day.
We seriously could not recommend anyone else for your photography needs, you WILL NOT regret it! Don't second guess yourself and go with R.J. Rodgers!

We love rachel. We did our engagement photos with her and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Unfortunately I was a covid-19 bride and was unable to have my wedding, but Rachel was so accommodating and understanding. Most of our other venders were not. If you’re lucky enough to have a wedding, Rachel is definitely who you want to photograph it!

Ever since our first phone call that lasted roughly 2 hours, I felt like I had known Rachel forever and I knew I wanted her to be our photographer. She was such a joy and breeze to work with. She is just the kindest soul and will do whatever she can to make you happy. Even though it was windy as ever, she still managed to capture the most amazing images of our special day! She captured every fun, special, and crazy moment throughout the day and will allow us to relive that day for years to come! I could not recommend her enough!

When planning our wedding, we knew the photographer was our highest priority. We needed someone to catch all the details of our big day that would most likely blur right past us. We stumbled across her page on the Knot, and I’m so thankful we did (we actually live an hour from cleveland)! Let me tell you- we were not disappointed!! Rachel is so down to earth, kind hearted, and extremely talented at what she does. She makes you feel at ease, and really captures the love between you and your partner. Our wedding was 10/4/20, and the sneak peek pictures she sent us are GORGEOUS!! If we had to do it all over again, we would pick her every single time.

She made both engagement pictures and wedding pictures fun and comfortable. She was thorough in the planning process (timeline, picture list, etc.) and was easy to get in touch with in the weeks leading up to the big day.
Our pictures turned out AMAZING and I am so grateful to have SO many images to relive the day! Look no further for a wedding photographer!

My wedding was Feb 22,2020. I had found R.J.Rogers Photography from the Knot. After talking with a few other photographers, I decided to go with R.J.Rogers because of not only her amazing work she does but her work ethic and organization skills as well as very friendly personality. I had several conference calls and face to face meetings with Rachel. Weddings are/can be a stressful time but Rachel was always prepared to help out and keep things organized to limit any of my stress that came up. Rachel was very efficient in getting all of our pictures back within a timely manner! I highly recommend using her for weddings and engagement pictures! She was such a pleasure to work with!!

Rachel was amazing the day of and was such a huge support system and did everything in her power to make sure we got every shot we needed. I have had NUMEROUS compliments from family and friends about how great both her and Brittany were. I would recommend them to anyone who asked. They are so down to earth and make everything so comfortable. Prior to the wedding, she was very responsive and made me feel like we were her only clients. I cannot say enough good things about them. And the photos were absolutely gorgeous!!!!

We loved working with Rachel and her assistant Brittany on our wedding day. She was very responsive before the big day if I had questions, and we felt very comfortable and excited after our meeting with her before our big day too. Rachel is very down to earth and professional which put my husband at ease for our pictures. She arrived, before we did, to the venue
the day of the wedding, and she kept us on time at each stop with our pictures (which was very important to me). She was also very supportive and excited about our superhero theme, which made us more excited!
A wedding photographer was one of our most important expenses during our planning, and at the end of night my husband and I said we were so happy we picked Rachel for our photographer. We hope to work with her again in the future for couple and family photos!

The day of our wedding was great - we drove to a few different locations for pictures and Rachel went along with everything. She was calm and handled our large bridal party very well. We got our pictures back a few days ago and we LOVE them. I would recommend R.J. Rodgers Photography to anyone inquiring!

My husband and I always talk about how amazing Rachel is! She captured our day beautifully, and the pictures are exactly what I was hoping for. Each time we met with Rachel, she was incredibly helpful and made us feel more at ease about our big day. As I panicked about timing on our wedding day, she calmed me down and made me laugh - something that I definitely needed. We 100% recommend Rachel as a photographer not only for her amazing work but also because she is an incredibly relatable, fun, and hard-working person!

They captured every moment for us perfectly. Rachel kept everything moving throughout the day and was sure to maximize our photo time, as she understood how important that was to my husband and I. I am so happy with my our beautiful sneak peek photos and I cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you Rachel for an unforgettable experience!

Rachael was the perfect choice for our Memorial Day weekend wedding! She worked with us on all our shot requests and was quick and concise on the actual day - everyone knew where to stand and for how long and she kept it moving.
We chose Rachael after looking at her portfolio because we loved her use of natural lighting and scenery. On the actual day, we had a bit of a time gap between ceremony and reception, but Rachael had great ideas about where to go to fill up time and also get great shots all around Cleveland.
We also got some amazing sunset photos at the reception - some of our most romantic ones of the day! Work with Rachael - you'll have the best time.

This may be long, but here it goes. Rachel is sweet, creative, easy-going and above all else, hard working! When I was looking for a photographer, I wasn’t sure what I really wanted. I knew I wanted beautiful photos, but that was it. I met with a few photographers, but they felt so unapproachable-very businesslike. And while Rachel is VERY professional, she gives you a warm and caring feeling. She listened to everything we wanted and even gave advice on areas where we had no clue what we were doing. She made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera just by talking to us the whole time. On the wedding day, she kept us on track and got every photo we asked for and more. When we got our photos back, I was speechless. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! There were photos we had no idea she got! Some really amazing memories we might have never seen if we didn’t have such a wonderful photographer. Her assistant, Brittany is also amazing as well. She was the best choice! If you’re thinking of having her as your photographer, you won’t regret it. She’s the best! Thank you Rachel!

Rachel is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for my husband and I. First time we met her we knew she was the one! She has the sweetest personality and the kindest heart. She is 110% (and more) there for you on your wedding day. Her pictures are absolutely gorgeous and she has the best ideas! She also takes to heart must have shots that complete your wedding day dream. Her attention to detail is absolutely extraordinary. My husband and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of a camera and Rachel put our nerves at ease. Our engagement sessions were so much fun and memorable. She did everything to make sure we had the best experience. Rachel loves what she does and it shows! We have had so many compliments on our pictures! Rachel is so much fun and easy to work with, she treats her clients as friends. If you want someone who is talented, kind, passionate, and absolutely amazing, book with Rachel! You will be so happy you did! Words can’t describe how thankful we are for her!
