RMN Photography

le. She met with us via zoom to help us plan, and had us fill out a form with a list of types of photos that we could opt in or out on. We really needed this because we weren't really sure what we wanted. She asked all the right questions ahead of time so on the day of, she was able to make decisions in the moment when things went a little off schedule. She was able to manage the guests trying to take a bunch of pics with their phones and keep us on track. Rachel found gorgeous spaces to take photos that we hadn't even thought of, including a beautiful graffiti wall near our venue. The pictures are so vibrant, and she captured the emotion of the day with so much detail. Rachel's work is excellent. The only problem is how to decide on 200 photos for an album when you have 2000 good ones!

D reschedules, even providing a calming influence during the last-minute stress of the wedding day. As others have noted, her pricing is quite reasonable and we've received many compliments on the quality of the photos.

wledge of photography in our backgrounds. We consulted with my dad who has a background knowledge and is a photography hobbyist. He was blown away with her work and her background and recommended her sight unseen. At our engagement session, she made us feel very comfortable and asked all the right questions getting to know us as a couple and let us have fun with it. At the wedding, while I knew she was around and was able to find the camera on several occasions, my wife has commented "I didn't even know she was there" and that is a good thing. She maintained a low profile but got all the right shots at the right moments. Highly recommended and she was great to work with in our journey making our night one to remember (even accommodating multiple locations and switches at the last minute).

he photos beautiful, but her warm and friendly manner immediately put me at ease. Rachel was flexible too - it was unclear whether my husband was going to be able to travel to the United States due to Covid, and she was willing to work with us and allow us to push the date back if we needed to without losing our deposit (such a relief). She’s also way more affordable than others which was perfect for our small gathering. Highly recommend - I will definitely call on her again in the future to capture other special moments that come along!

. Just from that short conversation she sounded like the perfect fit for us and our crowd. Rachel was flexible and supportive during it all. We decided to add an extra hour to be able to capture getting ready pictures and have Rachel until the very end of the night. She captured the night perfectly. She is the exact energy you need for the day. Our guests are still raving about how great Rachel was. We highly recommend RMN Photography.

is very organized and was excellent in helping us narrow/condense our lists of photos to make for a manageable schedule that would allow for us to also enjoy some of our day. She is a very hard worker, doing whatever it takes to get a good shot. We had multiple outdoor photo locations on a very warm sultry August day but nothing stopped her from getting fantastic shots. Many of our guests commented on how hard she worked and how she was also moving around to position herself to take a great shot yet never being intrusive. She was also very gracious with guests, allowing them moments to take photos too. Most of all however, the photos are absolutely fantastic! We have so many incredible and beautiful photos that feels impossible to choose the ones we like the most. She was excellent in all locations (church, outdoors, reception venue) and we have both amazing posed photos and wonderful candid shots too. Would highly recommend Rachel Naft/RMN Photography!

ill raving about the quality of the photos. Rachel was so fun and easy to get along with. I cannot speak more highly of her. If you are looking for an excellent photographer look no further than Rachel.

and our wedding day photos. She was so supportive, flexible and responsive throughout the whole planning process. Which was so nice and really helped ease any stress when it came to the photos. Our venue closed and we had to plan the whole wedding over, less than 45 days out. We found a new venue and Rachel helped us figure out where to do pictures before and after with the family. We even had pictures with our two dogs. She caught all the little things around the reception that I didn't even think to ask about but I'm so grateful she captured them. And she took ab

r other couples. We had other photographers to interview, but after our meeting with Rachel we knew we wanted to work with her. There is no describing how absolutely positive Rachel was to interact with. We were two guys never planning to get married and so we had lots of questions and Rachel was patient and helped across so many different situations. As the day of the wedding approached and some complications arose with other vendors (last minute DJ cancellation!), Rachel stepped in to offer any help as we scrambled to find a new DJ. Rachel was the calming positivity we needed for sure. On the day of the wedding Rachel was absolutely amazing and took the most incredible photos for us. She handled all the logistics with the Lincoln Memorial where we did our pre-wedding photos. The photos are spectacular and we couldn't be more pleased. At the ceremony and reception, Rachel was comfortable navigating our large families and being terrific at efficiently moving everyone through the photos that needed to be taken. Not an easy feat with a loud Italian family! The pictures of the ceremony and dancing afterwards are incredible. Rachel navigated the dance floor with ease and got such awesome photos for us. Many of our family and friends commented on how great Rachel was and how kind she was as well. Shortly after the wedding, Rachel started releasing some of the early photos as they became available and we were speechless. She is a true professional who is incredible at her work. When we got the full set of pictures, we were just absolutely stunned. Our wedding day was captured perfectly and we honestly couldn't be happier. Even when a few photos needed a touch up or two to remove a shadow or a glare, Rachel was incredible and took the time to make them perfect. She worked with us afterwards on the album and we even ordered a second album so we could add more photos since we couldn't decide and were having such a hard time narrowing down all the great photos she took. We can't recommend Rachel enough. From the initial meeting, to her positive attitude before the big day, to her absolute professionalism during the day, to her helpful and customer focused demeanor as we built the wedding albums, Rachel is 5 stars through and through. You will be happy you chose her. And, her pricing from what we researched was extremely affordable for what you'll get. We absolutely thought her services were fairly priced. Thanks for the terrific photos, Rachel! - Joe and Jim

ging. She listened to everything we wanted and made some excellent recommendations for photo locations. She was on-time, had a patient and positive attitude the entire time she worked with us, and our photos turned out STUNNING! Her ability to observe and work with different lighting was very impressive and made our photos so much better than I had hoped for. I would highly recommend hiring Rachel for any photography needs - you will get a talented, professional, funny photographer and some amazing photos!

took were completely amazing and exactly how we wanted them. There are so many great in the moment shots and we are so excited to decorate our new home with the pictures!

t Photography to anyone looking for the ultimate wedding photography experience. Plus: our photos are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Rachel for capturing our special day so perfectly :)

of guests, Rachel's professionalism and easygoing personality really showed through and made a huge difference in our day. Since we didn't have a planner of any kind, Rachel helped us a ton with shaping our day - including planning the timeline around when the light would be best at our ceremony location (Meridian Hill Park), picking the exact location in the park, and how to structure the rest of the evening. Most importantly, her photos turned out amazing! She knew the right ways to pose us and our families and we had a ton of fun walking around the park to get the best shots. Additionally Rachel is well priced compared to other photographers we considered. I would definitely recommend Rachel to any bride in the DC area seeking a wedding photographer!

ted with family and friends. The finished photos were beautiful - Rachel did a superb job. Her professionalism, flexibility, talent, and friendly attitude made her a pleasure to have as our wedding photographer.

aphs of our daughter’s wedding were absolutely beautiful. She took posed and spontaneous photos before the wedding, during the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the dinner reception. We could not be happier with Rachel’s work and, on top of it all, she was wonderful to work with. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

we picked someone we both felt 1000% comfortable with…and we landed on Rachel. She is one of the nicest, most approachable people on the planet, and immediately makes you feel at ease in conversation as well as while shooting. Our bridal party and families keep telling us how great she was and how her energy was contagious - it honestly felt like she was just part of our party (while remaining professional of course!) and happened to be taking the pictures too. We just received our wedding photos back and, while I knew she was talented and would do an outstanding job, I’m just in awe of how she was somehow able to capture the complete indescribable emotion we both felt on our wedding day. For people who generally don’t care for the pictures we take together, we honestly wish we could print and had somewhere to display them all. Risking sounding incredibly cliché, our wedding day was one of the happiest, best days ever, and reliving it through our pictures makes me feel all of that all over again.

omenal. Her attitude and ability to keep folks happy and on point during photo sessions was impressive. She kept Chris and I calm and comfortable during our bride and groom photos and it shows in the end results. I have a beautiful collection of photos to remember the day by. The variety is amazing and I'm thrilled with the collection. She captured the moment perfectly.

d is the ultimate professional, not to mention her photos are AMAZING! There were many challenges on the wedding day, not to mention the least of which was pouring rain. Rachel was able to snag an hour window without rain and get gorgeous outdoor shots. I especially like the candids she got of the wedding party – so fun! All our friends and family kept raving about her on the day of the wedding and how engaging and friendly she was. I also loved that when someone was taking a pic with their personal phone she was right there to take a professional shot, as well. To our delight, Rachel posted some select photos on Instagram and Facebook the very next day – the likes and comments just kept coming!!! I honestly cannot recommend RMN Photography enough. They are the BEST!!!

any beautiful moments at our ceremony and reception. I’m so thankful for everything Rachel did to give us such beautiful lasting memories.

so beautiful! She helped our day really become our day :-) My family and friends all talk wonders about how amazing she is! We can’t thank her enough!!

provide helpful tips to assist me in planning our outfits and location. Once we started our session, Rachel was an absolute pro at making us feel comfortable and encouraging us to just be ourselves. My fiancé is not naturally a 'big smiler,' but Rachel put him at ease and captured so many shots that highlight our personalities and love for each other. I also appreciated how she used the different natural elements and textures of urban Washington, DC as well as the shadows and lighting of the late afternoon to get some really interesting, unique pictures of us. I highly recommend RMN Photography for any bride!

how anxious I was about being photographed, and that "no offense to her", but I wasn't looking forward to that part of the day. Fast forward to our wedding and Rachel couldn't have made it any easier on this photo-shy bride! From the moment she arrived at the hotel, to the end of the reception, Rachel was there when I needed her (and out of sight capturing all the wonderful moments I missed when I didn't.) She was a total pro leading up to the wedding, and in dealing with our last minute changes due to weather - as well as navigating family, friends and a rowdy bunch of groomsmen. We could not be more thrilled with the photos we have received and would 100% recommend Rachel to friends. Having seen her final product, I'd say Rachel chipped away a bit at my fear of photos!

nations of hours, photo books, consultations etc... The photos were amazing, and she had great ideas on different shots. All of the wedding photos looked very professional. Also, we received all the photos on a flash drive, which was great! No water marks, or any of that nonsense. Great photos, and highly recommend!

to emails, always willing to answer questions. She's extremely personable and professional; she was courteous and friendly to all of our guests. When she noticed my elderly aunt waiting outside our venue for the shuttle back to the hotel, she took the time to find out when the next one was scheduled so that the old lady wouldn't be waiting for too long. So sweet. Rachel somehow managed to get pictures of everything and everyone without us ever feeling she was in our faces. I really barely noticed her most of the day, but she got so many fantastic shots. Best of all, her prices are reasonable. If I have another event where I need photography, I'd definitely hire her again.

we already have ten of her photographs hanging up in our hallway. Our wedding was right by the water in Annapolis, and the colors of the sky and water were really vibrant, with some shots almost over-saturated and others with a more muted, classy look. She takes a lot of photographs with a variety of lenses, so if you like the way a shot is framed, there will probably be one with the perfect smile or gesture. I'd absolutely recommend Rachel for anyone's wedding.
