- What was your favorite wedding photo? To pick a favorite photo taken by Rachel is like finding a needle in a haystack. It’s near to impossible. All of her photos are amazing and unique. I honestly can’t pick one that I adore. They are all equally amazing.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Rachel was so unobtrusive it amazing to see all the shots she did get. She didn’t disrupt the day at all, and stayed out of the way, yet making sure to get every angle of the wedding. She took amazing portraits, and did a great job with candid’s. Our wedding set-up and time frame was an unusual one for a wedding, but she still was able to get everything I asked from her.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? In Rachel’s package that we signed up for we received 8 hours of her time on the wedding day, a DVD/CD disc with all the images after editing with rights to print anywhere of our choosing, a second photographer (or intern) free of charge, meetings prior to the wedding to ensure all our needs were met, an immense about of e-mailing back and forth (FYI she is SO timely)!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Rachel was the first and only photographer we met with. My husband and I clicked with her right away. We cancelled all other photographer meetings and jumped on board with her. I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She is so down to earth, flexible, and sweet. She will make sure you are happy, and go to all measure to be sure you have everything perfect on your day. My family and friends adored everything about her. Her smile and laugh is contagious, and hard work is obvious as she carries her cameras throughout your wedding day! Rachel is so professional without being over bearing. She knows what she is doing, and I truly believe I couldn’t have found a better photographer to be part of my wedding. I am so grateful.
Review: BEST photographer!!!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? It's hard to choose a favorite one...I LOVED ALL of them! Rachel is amazing, and does great work!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Rachel makes you feel like you've known her forever, and you don't even know she's there taking your picture! She's great, and everyone in my family and all of my guests loved her. She does great shots from candids to portrait shots.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? There was an engagement session if you wanted it, you get a DVD of all of your pictures, she came with a second photographer, and then she makes a password protected site/slideshow for your family and friends to see the images and they also have the option to order prints of them too. She makes little business size cards with your picture on them and with the websites address and gives them out at the wedding to the guests. My family and guests LOVED this!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She is so sweet and so professional, everyone absolutely loved her. She's so easy to work with, and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Oh my, I don't think I could pick a favorite. There is SO many to choose from! They were all amazing! I loved the black and white pictures with the touches of color! Gorgeous!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Rachel is definitly good with both posed and action shots. I have so many action shots that I will remember for the rest of my life! She was not disruptive at all and fit right in with all of my family. We had such a great time having her at our wedding!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Rachel had different packages to choose from which could have things added or subtracted to work with your budget. I ordered a photo album, copyright to my images, and a dvd slide show of my pictures. An engagement session is included, but decided to take this off my package. Rachel works with you to come up with a package that will fully meet your needs!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Rachel is unbelievably friendly and so much fun to be around! She made it easy for everyone to take pictures and we had fun taking them! My family and friends were very pleased with our photographers! :)

- What was your favorite wedding photo? That's not a fair question. There are many.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Rachel got to know us before our wedding day so that we felt comfortable with her and so she understood what we were looking for in our photos. She also provided us a check-list of possible poses or shots prior to the wedding, all of which she was able to capture on the big day. Rachel was creative with photos and we were pleased with both posed and candid shots.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? There were several packages from which to choose. We ordered a custom-designed photo book and a photo slide-show CD set to music of our selection.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Rachel was friendly and sociable with our guests, putting everyone at ease. Many of our friends and family members commented on how much they enjoyed having her as a photographer.
Review: incredibly friendly, amenable and skilful!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? There were so many great shots of the day, we have so many favorites! In particular, we love the photo Rachel snapped of us sneaking a kiss on the steps of City Hall. Framed with the steps in the foreground and a Christmas tree to the side, it was a genuine moment and she fully captured that in her photo.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Rachel always kept in mind the schedule of the day and our movements. She worked with that schedule by taking photos of activity when we were on the move and fading into the background when appropriate. She also helpfully suggested locations for posed shots in advance which she worked in seamlessly during the day. Both posed photos and action shots of our day are superb. In particular, we were delighted with the atmosphere and character captured in the action shots. Our parents were especially pleased with the warmth of the posed family shots.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Rachel had an array of print and album options available. We opted for the cd of all the shots which came beautifully personalized. We are considering ordering an album for us and our families. We did not request an engagement session as we only wanted a photographer for the wedding day.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Rachel’s incredibly warm and friendly personality enables her to make requests and direct people without being imposing, demanding or obtrusive.
