Rachel is AMAZING!!!

I had an incredible experience working with Rachel! I had originally chosen Rachel because I loved her style of photography/editing and it aligned with my vision for the day. From our first consultation, I knew she'd be a great fit. Rachel was kind and sweet, asked all the right questions, helped us put together a preliminary wedding day timeline, and overall made me feel very comfortable about the whole wedding planning process.

Fast forward to my wedding day- Rachel arrived right on schedule. I was getting a little stressed since my hair/makeup was taking longer than expected, and Rachel took my timeline changes in stride, pivoting to instead take pictures of my husband, the venue, etc. She was so calm and completely put me at ease because she would just go on and do her own thing, and didn't make me feel rushed at all (even though we were getting down to the wire with hair/makeup). She also managed to take several beautiful getting-ready shots, even as I was rushing to get my dress/jewelry/shoes on in time.

Not only did Rachel make me feel comfortable during all of the getting ready craziness, she also basically saved my ceremony! Originally my ceremony was supposed to take place outside, but right as the ceremony was supposed to begin, we were hit with a completely random rain storm. All the guests were rushed inside, and I was asked to make a decision on what to do. We were leaning towards having the ceremony inside of the dining/reception space, and even though I didn't love the idea, I was ready to pull the trigger. But then Rachel had the most amazing idea to have the ceremony in the front of the venue and assured me that it would still be beautiful. I fully trusted her vision, and decided to go with her idea. And I am so glad we did! Given the weather and the rush to re-decorate, it was the absolute best backup plan, and the ceremony was still beautiful. And I owe it all to Rachel. :)

Rachel did a phenomenal job taking pictures of my wedding. She captured every beautiful moment, and also managed to make my husband and I feel comfortable during our portraits. She also works very quickly- she managed to send me sneak peaks 2 days after my wedding! And then a few weeks later, she sent over the rest of the photos and had me absolutely in tears. She captured my entire day beautifully, and I couldn't have been happier with how the photos turned out.

I couldn't be happier with our decision to have Rachel photograph our wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire her already. You will NOT regret it! Thank you Rachel for capturing our big day!!!!

Positive and Professional

My fiancé and I are from Southeast Asia and doing a “pre-wedding” photo session is traditionally very important for us and our families. We understand that “pre-wedding” photoshoot where couples dress up in wedding-like attires before the wedding might not be very common or well known in the states so we were a bit nervous to find the right photographer for it, but once we reached out and talked with Rachel she listens to our visions/ideas and totally nailed the photoshoot as we envisioned. Rachel is the sweetest person to work with and always boosting our confidence during the photoshoot. We were so happy that she got our photos back in such a short amount of time with such high quality! We will definitely recommend Rachel to our friends, families, and others to use her photography services!

So happy we chose Rachel Elle Photography

We just recently had our engagement photos done with Rachel, and the experience was great. I was pretty anxious about getting our photos done and feeling awkward in front of the camera, but Rachel lead the session and guided us through it all. We were laughing the entire time and genuinely had fun. We also got all of our photos back in just one week which was awesome, and they turned out beautiful! 💗 Super happy we chose Rachel to be our engagement/wedding photographer. I now know after our engagement session, that I will feel comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day which was super important to me. One less thing to be stressing on our special day 🥰
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
