Robyn Rachel Photography

f her photos. A daughter’s wedding is a one-time event, and we wanted a photographer we could trust. Now, looking through the final results, she did an amazing job of capturing not just the events and the people, but the whole spirit of a Chicago wedding. Robyn was also a pleasure to work with; she is very dedicated to capturing the best in everyone and had a lot of good ideas for venues and settings around the city. She took engagement photos in some very beautiful locations and captured my daughter and her fiancé in ways that I had never seen before. The wedding-day photos included not just the traditional posed shots, but also many stunning outdoor scenes. During the reception, she managed to capture most everyone that was there, as well as special shots of close family and important highlights. Some of the pictures are just really special to us. Finally, she employs an easy to use online photo site to view all the pictures, and will design an album from favorites you select or make individual prints. We recommend Robyn without any hesitation.

. She gave us recommendations for locations for our engagement photos and even wardrobe suggestions to ensure we looked our best. She also had great locations that would work well for us for our winter wedding and tight time frame for the day. For the wedding day she was on time and scoped out areas to shoot for the best lighting and epic photos. She helped keep the wedding party on time and helped our day run efficiently. She was respectful of all of the photos I really wanted her to capture and she did her best to get them all! Even my family would ask her to take a few shots of some special moments and she did it without a doubt! She worked well with all of our other vendors too to make sure the videographers got their footage needed as well. We hardly knew she was there, Robyn and her assistant worked so well together to capture the best shots for our wedding without getting in anyone's way. We got so many compliments on our photos saying how amazing we looked and we owe it all to Robyn! She has such an eye for architecture and intimate poses that are not so staged. I would highly recommend Robyn for your special day!

t shoot and worked with me during the planning stages to make our wedding day perfectly timed with the shots I had wanted. She then went above and beyond after the wedding creating a wonderful viewing event, helped us create and edit our photo album, and made sure we were 100% satisfied with the final product. Her whole team was an absolute joy to work with and recommend highly!

int as she not only captures amazing shots, but is able to pull so much color and vibrancy into otherwise "normal' shots it's uncanny. And as I mentioned, she is extremely warm and helpful in the days leading up to the big day and on the big day itself. She even helped us step outside for a little bit during our reception to capture some fresh air and get a nighttime shot of us in front of the Board of Trade! We certainly recommend working with Robyn if you can, and definitely also recommend that you get her input on locations and shots as she has shot some amazing locations and knows many gorgeous and unknown spots around the city (in addition to many other well-known ones). 5 Stars!

at our wedding she could tell I was getting stressed because there were issues with my bustle and Robyn said, "I'm going to bring you a beer!" LOL. She is awesome and I highly recommend using her for your special day!

to work with her prior to our wedding day. Robyn is so sweet and her work can't be beat!

ent, not pushy, yet they captured all of the photos we requested and more! We so appreciate that every moment throughout the evening was snapped, yet they were rarely seen. Striking that balance is an art and we so appreciated all of their effort and hard work! Plus, the photos are stunning! Not one bad photo was taken with the expertise of Robyn!

he is so good at working with the couple and the area to get the best shots. We just started to look over the pictures she shot from the wedding and they are more than we ever could have hoped for. Years from now when all we have to remind us of the day are the photos we are going to be lucky to have had such a great photographer!

engagement pictures and saw the beautiful shots that Robyn captured, we knew we had made the right choice. I also ended up doing a boudoir photo session (eek!), which I never would have had the guts to do if Robyn wasn't taking the pictures! One of my girlfriends from work also had a wedding coming up and we had so much fun together drinking champagne, getting our hair and makeup done (all set-up by Robyn) and then putting our bachelorette gifts to good use! The pictures turned out so tasteful, definitely something I was excited to give to my guy! And then came the wedding ... Robyn was the perfect combination of fun and professional. (Make sure you pick a photographer that you love their personality as much as their work - they're with you and your bridal party the WHOLE day!) She kept my crazy bridal party in line so that we she could get the shots she knew we'd want and did it in a way that made sure everyone was having a good time. She knew the best spots in town to get amazing shots and added the cutest touches. And all the while we were having a good time smiling and posing we had no idea she was capturing treasured moments and candid shots. When we got the proofs back (which she got back to us so fast!!) we were amazed at what the images actually looked like. The depth and the textures of the places we were looked unbelievable through Robyn's lens, it's going to be so hard to narrow down the pictures for our album! We were so lucky to have Robyn with us throughout all of our wedding planning and look forward to having her by our side for all our milestones ahead!

ne excitement for our wedding made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process, and the resulting photos far exceeded our expectations. Robyn's style was that perfect mix of absolutely stunning portraiture and stylistic photojournalism that we were looking for - a combination we found was quite rare when looking into other potential photographers. Robyn and her fearless second shooter (he literally laid down in the street and climbed onto a roof to get those perfect shots for us) captured the essence of the day's emotions so beautifully, and provided us with photos that truly allow us to relive every special moment.

ce. Her photos are amazing and made us look beautiful.
