Simple Heart Photography

Rachael is a truly gifted photographer. We had Rachael shoot our wedding at the Indiana State Museum and we couldn't be more pleased with her work. The pictures turned out FABULOUS - Rachael was able to capture so many different styles, emotions, settings in a very unique and special way. She possess a great attention to detail and was able to capture beautiful details of the wedding that I didn't even notice on my big day. Also, her personality is another reason I would greatly reccommend Rachael if you are looking for a wedding photographer. I felt like she understood the emotions that I (the bride) was going through at the wedding and she was amazing in connecting and helping me stay calm and relaxed. Rachael has a great sense of humor, she was very helpful even in non-photo related fields, and was a tremendous help in keeping the wedding party on schedule. Special thanks to Rachael for the family portraits - she made sure that the groom and I got pictures with each of the family members in different setting (some of them I didn't even previously specified but based on her experience she must have known what shots would be of a particular meaning to couple). I could go on and on about how amazing Rachael's work is, but you just have to book her for your event to learn for yourself! :)

I could not have been happier that I chose Rachael and Simple Heart Photography! The images were beautiful and will be cherished for a lifetime. She was very easy to work with and she was great at making my very shy husband comfortable in front of the camera. She created a timeline for the day which was a huge help and was always available if I had any questions or concerns. She created a photo book that is amazing and I love showing it off! I would recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a photographer.

When we began looking for a photographer, we thought we were aiming for someone that could take great pictures and for that, we would be happy. What Rachael and Brian Meier offer at Simple Heart Photography is so much more than we expected and it truly enhanced our wedding experience by having them by our side! From the first meeting Michelle and I had with Rachael at a Starbucks in Plainfield, we knew that we were not only hiring an excellent photographer but a genuine person that is interested in a relationship, not a transaction. I could go on and on about Rachael and Brian at Simple Heart Photography but instead, I'll list some of the best examples as to why Simple Heart Photography will be lifetime photographer. 1) Personality, tons of it! Rachael and Brian do an excellent job creating a fun, energetic environment that relaxed us from the beginning, 2) Communication, from day one, we were very confident knowing what/when/where ETC. 3) Comfort, Rachael and Brian vowed BEFORE our wedding day arrived that they would be there for anything we needed, period. When our wedding day came, Rachael and Brian provided more help than any one member of our family! 4) Confidence, Rachael and Brian's skillset is unmatched and their attitude for greatness left Michelle and I in a zero-stress mentality 5) Photographs, let's be honest, all of the above is great but if the photos do not depict breath-taking pictures, the rest is irrelevant. Our pictures are well beyond our expectations and one was selected for the Indy brides magazine! If you have made it this far and still have any shred of doubt, please reach out to Simple Heart Photography for a free consultation and experience everything I have mentioned above yourself! Please call my friends Rachael and Brian to setup your photography future now!

I am so happy with Rachael! As we all hear the wedding day is a blur. It all happens so fast. You can be upset about the things that don't quite go the way you planned or you can just let Rachael help you through. Rachael spent time getting to know us both and then as the big day came close she had the foresite to work with me to give the whole day a time schedule. She has the experience to gently guide us and keep the day going to capture our day perfectly. Oh! And by the way, Rachael was flat on her back with back spasms for the entire week before our big day and did not make me aware until the morning of my wedding. She knew a bride doesn't need anything else to worry about. Rachael, Brian and Beth were all fantastic and were not about to let anything fall between the cracks. I would absolutely recommend Rachael and Simple Heart Photography because of her organization, compassion, support, quality of photos and most importantly the way she captured our story.

Preparing for a wedding is never easy--we as brides pour over every detail and element. For us, choosing the photographer was the easiest part. Rachael/Simple Heart Photography was the best choice we could have made. Not only was she easy to work with, but she was creative, fun, and calming! Whether it was figuring out how to hook/zip my dress, adjust a veil, or wrangle a bridal party of 21 people, and 10 clergy, Rachael did it all, with ease, keeping in mind what was most important to us as a couple. And the photos....wow. They came back breathtaking. We were amazed at what she captured from the day. She was more than a photographer, she was our storyteller.

Just got my engagement pictures back and they are truly beautiful! Me and my fiance are both uncomfortable in front of cameras but Rachael put us at ease and gave us the right amount of direction to make our photos beautiful!

Rachael did such an amazing job with our wedding photos. After having 2 other photographers cancel on me within months of the wedding, she flew from Indiana to Vermont to shoot my wedding. She was totally worth it! We get so many compliments on our photos and I would recommend her to anyone. She made the experience so personal and I am so happy that she was our wedding photographer.

Rachael is a wonderful photographer. Working to bring to life your story.

We can't begin to describe our happiness with Simple Heart Photography. Rachael and Brian are wonderful people. It was very important to me to have someone I was comfortable with as I knew the photographer would be with me for several hours. The engagement photos were part of the package we bought and we had so much fun. Rachael was flexible about locations (we chose the State Fair) and we love the shots. For the wedding we had asked our guests for an unplugged wedding to keep anyone from getting in the way of Rachael and Brian. You only create these moments once and we didn't want the photos messed up. Photos are very important to us and we wanted quality. We are very happy with our choice.

Rachel was simply amazing! She was fun and personable, yet able to command the room when necessary. Everyone in my bridal party loved her! She had great ideas for original shots and made sure to keep track of the shots I wanted. She has a bubbly, fun personality and made my day super special! Her goal is to tell your love story, and she does a great job!

Rachael's prices are reasonable and her work is exceptional. She was fun to work with and put everyone at ease -- she was a natural fit with our bridal party. I couldn't have been happier with the results.
