Amazing Photographer!


I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service provided by Rachel and Karl at our wedding. They were an integral part of making our day run smoothly and ensuring everyone was comfortable. Their efficiency and skill resulted in stunning shots that truly captured the essence of our special day. Not only were they professional and confident, but they also showed genuine care for us and our guests. Plus, they made sure nobody had to endure the hot June sun for too long. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch photography services. Five stars all the way!

Simply the Best!

Working with Rachel and Karl was an absolute dream from start to finish. We spoke with many different photographers when we were trying to choose someone, but from the moment we met Rachel we knew she was perfect to capture our day. She put us at ease immediately and we could laugh and joke with her even on that first intro call.

Rachel suggested a beautiful location for our engagement photos and those came out STUNNING. She and Karl helped keep us from feeling awkward as we posed and knew just what to suggest for us to look natural and for our happy selves to shine through.

On our wedding day they were EVERYTHING you could ever want in a photography duo. They captured every single photo on our shot list with speed and efficiency and took so many great candids throughout the day. The shots they set up as part of our portraits absolutely blew me away. They worked seamlessly with our videographer team and helped us to get photos with every single table before dinner was through.

And the cherry on top? We received ALL of our photos even earlier than expected after the wedding. We highly recommend working with Rachel and Karl!

Amazing experience!!

Both my sister and I used Rachel and Karl for our wedding photographers and had amazing experiences!! My sister got married first, and after being apart of that wedding and seeing how great her pictures came out, when it was time for me to pick a wedding photographer I didn't even bother asking anyone but Rachel! She makes the entire process very easy and fun. She provided enough direction while keeping it light and authentic. Highly recommend Rachel and her team!!

Love her!!

From the first time I met Rachel I knew I would have her shoot our wedding. So down to earth and the work I saw of hers was absolutely breathtaking. She recently shot our engagement photos and I couldn’t get over how comfortable she made us feel. I warned her that we are awkward with taking pictures but that day it came natural with her guidance. We haven’t even seen the photos yet but I can’t wait as I’m sure they will be beautiful. Highly recommend her and Karl and looking so forward to them shooting our wedding!

I highly recommend booking Rachel. We loved working with Rachel and Karl. They knew how to make everyone at ease and made sure to capture all of the right moments. We had no worries as I trusted them completely! They are personable and I will definitely be using them for any future photo shoots! I can’t wait to see the final photos.

Great to work with

Rachel is very easy to get alone with and she makes everyone comfortable, and it shows in her photos. We had a blast hanging out with her and the photos came out amazing because of it. She went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome wedding day, beautiful wedding/engagement photos, and a video to send to my father in law who was hospitalized for the wedding

Rachel was amazing to work with. From our engagement photo shoot there was no question in my mind that we were in good hands for our wedding. Rachel was flexible and was willing to stay from the start of getting ready through the end of the party. Our photos came out beautiful, and my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled! I would recommend Rachel to any of my friends getting married!

Rachel and Karl are a fantastic team with the ideal balance of professionalism and authentic personality. You can tell that the craft and artistry is important to them and they take the time to get to know the couples that work with. Rachel was already booked for our wedding date, so Karl was our photographer for our wedding, and also did our engagement photos. He did a fantastic job capturing our personalities and special moments during our wedding day. Rachel and Karl are simply the best.

Rachel and Karl were exceptional! They made us feel comfortable throughout the wedding and were so easy to get along with! They are personable and hard working! They got all the shots we asked for, including standing out in the rain for an umbrella shot! They got an extensive number of shots- posed and candid! We received all of the photos within 2 weeks. We have received so many compliments from friends and family on how great they turned out! We can't thank them enough! We would recommend them to everyone! <3
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
