Working with Rachel was such a spectacular experience for us We felt connected and radiant truly ourselves when she photographed us. She made every single guest feel this way too! Her photographs are exquisite, romantic, and natural! We are enamored with each and every one. She captured each persons’ energy and each relationship so authentically. As we look at these photographs, we are reminded of every special moment and bursting smile and heart laugh and happy tear and groovy dance move that made our wedding the magical day it was. We are so grateful for her and way she’s helped us cement this day into our shared history and memory!

We met at a dinner a couple months before our wedding that ended up changing completely — we eloped instead! The only element of our big day that we needed to stay the same was Rachel. Her involvement with every aspect of the celebration was priority: from the send-off party the night before we eloped, to signing our marriage license in my father’s living room, then driving up the coast to Carmel (with a couple spontaneous stops), to finally staying the night as we waited for our nuclear families to join us at the beach under the chuppah the next day — Rachel had to be there for everything and it was very comforting how much she wanted to be there for everything.

I am so thankful Rachel was so prepared to take the journey with us up the coast to capture the multiple days we spent celebrating our marriage. Since we eloped, she had to play both the roles of grandparent and bridesmaid. We knew that if our best friends and extended families couldn’t be there, we had to make sure that our photographer was skillful and creative. Rachel understood how integral she was going to be and she did not take her responsibility lightly. With detailed schedules and thoughtful plans to photograph on multiple mediums, she single handedly created a visual archive of our celebration that is not only beautiful and sentimental — the quality of her work is unmatched.

There is a way to photograph weddings that most photographers use a template for. With Rachel, the template is the couple. With Rachel, capturing of both intimacy and joy is her absolute objective.

Rachel’s two eyes became the lens our loved ones get to peer through. Rachel’s heartfelt experience of our big day is the legacy we now frame on our walls and have documented for our children’s children. Rachel’s intention to conjure vulnerability without imposition is her true talent. I will always ask Rachel to honor my life story by being there to capture whatever comes next. She’s the best and I feel sorry for couples who don’t get this lucky!!!

Sooo happy!! Rachel was nothing short of amazing!! We had a last minute cancellation from another photographer and that’s when we found Rachel - couldn’t have worked out better and especially for such short notice. She was incredibly kinda and easy to work with, I’ve already shared her contact with a number of friends for their upcoming events. If you want to have your memories captured with special care and beauty, hire this young lady!
