Rachel and her team are the BEST

We loved working with Rachel on our wedding weekend. She made us feel at ease and joyful the entire time, and the photos are absolutely gorgeous.

Rachel Havel's -Associate Laura

Rachel was already booked for my wedding date so we had one of her associates, Laura. I don't like being the center of attention and Laura made me feel at ease during my wedding day. Not only did she make me feel comfortable and not awkward during my wedding day photos. Her photos were absolutely amazing! She got every photo I wanted and they were beautiful!

Rachel is extremely talented, down to Earth, easy to work with and goes above and beyond for her clients!

After "following" Rachel for many years prior to getting engaged and falling in love with her photos and talent, it was a no brainer when I got engaged to ask Rachel to be our wedding photographer. Rachel helped us find our wedding planner who was also amazing. Talent is one thing, but a wedding photographer's personality or ego can really make or break a situation regardless of how talented they are. Rachel was incredibly easy going and down to Earth. My husband and I are kind of awkward behind the camera and Rachel never made us feel uncomfortable or forced things on us. Additionally, Rachel went out of her way to accommodate us throughout the pandemic and during our experience working with her - truly out of her way. She flew from CA to Chicago and even came to our house in the suburbs to take engagement photos, then post wedding she met me at my parents' house in CA to help me create my wedding album which was not necessary whatsoever and an incredibly daunting task. She has absolutely no ego and fit right in. I consider her a friend now and would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I am sad that I no longer get to work with her after two years of delays due to COVID. She is simply the best!

Rachel shot my daughters wedding and I'm sooo grateful we chose her! Rachel was able to capture the love and sweetness of the day. Rachel didn't miss a detail, every bit of the day was memorialized. I really appreciate that she captured the unposed, natural interaction of the family and guests, they are some of the sweetest picture and things I missed, but she didn't. Hire Rachel, you won't regret it.
