Rachel captures moments. She’s got a huge heart and brings out the silly, vulnerable, intimate and absurd in people. It makes for wonderful photos, moments and memories. And that’s what life’s all about, right?

Rachel Joy Baransi. Where do I begin? I had never met Rachel before the wedding, but based on her social media presence, I already had immense respect for her and knew she was the perfect person to photograph our wedding. The lightness she captures in her portraits is really breath-taking, and she photographs moments of authenticity rather than posed intimacy. I think her talent is immensely evident. But you also need to know that Rachel was not only my photographer that day – she was my friend, my counselor, and my guru. I am not exaggerating. Her calming presence and self-assuredness took so much pressure off me, and if I could do it over and over and over, I would hire Rachel again and again. She is a really special person, and I feel so lucky that I had the opportunity to work with her and get to know her before she becomes off-the-charts famous and unattainable. All the best, Rachel!

Yesterday, we watched our wedding video with my grandpa who couldn’t be there due to advanced Alzheimer’s. I cannot even begin to explain the way my heart swelled and soared sharing our day with him. For a few brief minutes he came back to us and watched me marry my favorite person. And you’re so much to thank for that. The little details that you captured made us feel like we were living our day again, but with him right there. With your video you gave me one of the deepest, unspoken desires of my heart; to have him at my wedding. We LOVE our video. There are few times I don’t need to grab tissues watching it! You are truly a rare talent and I’m so glad you documented our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for taking such care of our memories and packaging them in a totally unique and memorable way.
