Found vendor on wedding wire. Booked after viewing photos and one phone call. Responsive by text and email and very accessible. Tonya made sure to get every shot I wanted during my engagement and wedding. Amazing prices. Patient with me and answered all my questions. I could not have asked for better pictures.

Rachel is amazing! She captured everything I wanted her too even helped with my dress! I felt like she was more than my photographer but a friend as well! I highly recommend her!

Rachel was absolutely wonderful!! I had a few oddball requests including a photo shoot at the cemetery to include my mom in my big day, and she went above and beyond. she was able to transport me and my sisters in our dresses to and from and still kept me hidden from the boys on my day :). the pictures were gorgeous, and she was so great with all my guests. I will cherish the memories she made for me and would highly recommend her for your events!!

Rachel is so sweet and hardworking! She helped me get my business up and running with her photography skills out of the kindness of her heart. I couldn't imagine using anyone else for my wedding!

Rachel was very accommodating on such short notice on my part. She was willing to stay as long as we needed her and post celebration she got back to us quickly with our photos!

Rachel was our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding. Rachel was flexible with schedule and made us feel important. She went out of her way for ideas, was great during the wedding to stay out of the way but at same time capture the key moments in the wedding. The pictures will be a lasting memory!

Wish i had my wedding pictures :/
Rachel was exceptional. She honestly helped me more than most of the wedding party. I am frustrated that i still have not gotten our pictures and no response to any messages.

Late photos, no communication
Before the wedding, Rachel was amazing. After, she did not deliver our photos on time & did not provide an explanation.
Before, Rachel:
+ quickly responded to email (within a week),
+ sent us a timeline of when to expect our photos,
+ met for an energetic initial consultation,
+ mailed us some very pretty cards with the link to our (upcoming) digital album,
+ and gave us a wonderful "engagement shoot".
On our wedding day, Rachel was also terrific. She had lots of ideas for great pictures and lots of energy to accommodate our requests.
After the wedding, the agreed-upon date for a first look at the pics came & went with no communication from Rachel and few photos in our digital album. We were not worried, and did not reach out. Then the agreed-upon date for our digital album came & went with no communication and no new photos. We began to worry, reached out a week later, and had a very difficult time getting in touch with Rachel.
Over 1 month later we finally got our photos via a USB that Rachel mailed to us. The photos are lovely and we are very thankful to Rachel for recording our wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
