Like taking pictures with your best friend

When I started looking for a photographer for my wedding I wanted to find someone that my fiance and I would vibe with since we would be spending a lot of time together. From the initial conversation with Rachel I knew that she would be the perfect photographer to capture our day. She is extremely personable and professional. My fiance and I were a little nervous about our engagement photos because we didn't want to appear awkward. Rachel made us feel so confident and natural during our session. We did our session in Lancaster city and it was like we were just hanging out with our friend taking pictures. She gave us great prompts to capture our natural smiles/laughs and get rid of any insecurities. We felt like we looked like freakin models when we got our engagement photos back! They exceeded all of our expectations! Rachel was super responsive through emails and texting the week of the wedding. She pays extremely close attention to detail and had so many great recommendations for picture locations.
Let me tell you about the day of our wedding..
I seriously could not have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding. Even our second photographer Madeline was amazing.
Rachel and Madeline both vibed so well with our group! Ryan and I felt super confident during our pictures. Everything ran so smoothly. I was super impressed with how well our family photos went because I was a little stressed making sure everyone got to the photos on time. Rachel made sure we were in and out with those photos so that we could go enjoy the remaining time in our cocktail hour.
She made me feel like a badass with a few of the photos that we took and I cannot wait to see the results! I added a few last minute photo requests day of and she made it happen. For the most part I left all photo recommendations to her and that was probably the best thing to do because she knows EXACTLY what she is doing. Leave those photo lists at home, you do not need it. I had such an amazing day and having Rachel as our photographer made a huge impact on how great our day turned out. I HIGHLY recommend her and hope to use her again in the future.

STUNNING WORK for our engagement and wedding

Where do I even begin to describe how amazing our experience booking with Rachel was!! Rachel’s work is way beyond any photographer I have ever used in the past. We hired Rachel for our wedding and engagement photos . She really brought every vision to life on what we wanted and had the BEST locations on where to shoot and what time. We did photos in my hometown and I was BLOWN away with the quality and outcome of the pictures. Not only was her work truly amazing, but her communication, her planning and even her vibe when shooting us was nothing to compare to!! You can tell she loves what she does and got to know us as a couple throughout the whole process. We didn’t feel like a number , we truly felt as a photographer she got to know us as a couple and was so adamant about making our engagement and wedding photos exactly what we wanted.

We did an elopement package with Rachel and had a micro wedding in the mountains of Wyoming with 12 people…and let me tell you. SHE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. Our wedding photos could not have been more perfect, again I was blown away that I felt to look back on these perfect photos forever.
Rachel was the one to help chose the ceremony location for our elopement and work with us on our visions. She had endless options for us on different ceremony locations and timeframes and even sent pictures and videos in real time of what the locations would look like before days before the wedding. Rachel went above and beyond and I can’t leave express how much we loved working with her.

If you’re trying to decide on a photographer for any occasion, this is your sign, book right now…..you will be so happy you chose her. Rachel is seriously the best , she has the sweetest soul, she is so fun to work with and I’m happy to say we will be lifetime customers. I can’t say enough positive things about the experience we had with Rachel.

Book her now!

From the second my husband and I saw Rachel’s work, we were in love with it. The way her style compliments the vibe of The Booking House was absolutely perfect. We first met her at our engagement shoot in Harrisburg where she met us for drinks prior to getting us in front of the camera. This was the first time either of us had been professionally photographed but Rachel made us feel completely at ease and guided us through the entire evening. We simply cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is incredibly responsive, transparent, professional, talented, and a great time. With her, our entire wedding day went smoothly, our sneak peaks were AMAZING, and we cannot wait to see the rest of the magic she worked!
