Couldn't have asked for a better photographer

Rachel was the absolute best wedding photographer. From our initial contact, she showed not only how communicative she would be, but also how kind, inspired, and fun she was. She has the best vibes and made us feel so comfortable. Not to mention, she takes the most amazing, beautiful photos!

She managed to capture moments that were so special, even those that happened briefly when I I didn't even know she was near me. She provided helpful direction (for those of us that feel awkward being photographed, this was a huge help), and everyone in the wedding party loved her. She got us our preview photos less than a week after the wedding, and I seriously can't wait to see the rest!

She was calm and punctual yet also had this pizazz and energy that made everyone feel happy and ready to be photographed. I gave her the smallest amount of direction and she ran with it, incorporating details and moments that I didn't even know I wanted. She is just good people. SO talented. And importantly, she knows how to run her business, and she does it well. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Professional and a delight to have in your corner!

Rachel was just phenomenal! In addition to capturing our joyous moments during our wedding so perfectly, she was so positive and encouraging leaving my wife and I looking forward to our planning meetings. During our planning meetings, she was also very thorough and detailed to ensure we aligned on expectations based on what we wanted. On the wedding day, she was calm, cool, and collected and worked smoothly with her husband, Igor, the videographer. She helped block and tackle distractions while giving clear directions to capture our memories. She is a must have if you want amazing memories captured and if you want someone who is a delight to be around!

Worth the investment

Rachel was absolutely amazing - on the day of the wedding, you really appreciate her bubbly personality and positive energy to guide you through numerous back to back photos. Seriously so grateful for her. One thing I really appreciated was that she would quickly share her digital camera screen at times to ease your mind that she was capturing the moment beautifully. She also checked in multiple times to ensure that the all the important groups of friends and family combinations were captured. She was also great with kids and getting their attention for photos!
Would highly recommend the duo - Rachel and her husband Igor as a power photo/video combo - they worked so seamlessly together

Better than the best; The most AMAZING photographer you could hope for!!!!!

If you have been lucky enough to come across Rachel on your search for an amazing photographer--LOOK NO FURTHER. Consider yourself blessed and reach out to her! My husband and I truly cannot rave enough about Rachel and her awesome teammate and husband, Igor. We were blessed enough to have them as our photographer and videographer for our elopement in Leavenworth, and they were such a perfect addition to our day. Rachel is sunshine and positivity incarnate and had everyone from our wedding laughing, smiling, and ready to take great pictures (which was not easy given all the Type A personalities running on both sides of the family, which she navigated flawlessly). Rachel put my husband and I, as well as our love story, at the heart and center of everything she did both on, and leading up to, our day. Rachel was truly the ultimate cheerleader for us, and we had SUCH a blast with her and Igor.

My husband and I are from Minnesota, so a lot of trust was needed while planning our elopement in Washington. Since the very first moment we spoke with Rachel, she totally stole our hearts and we knew that we couldn’t be in better hands. Rachel took the time to listen to all of our hopes, concerns and ideas and helped us create the perfect plan for our elopement, as well as remaining super flexible and adaptable to all of the changes and obstacles that arose. She was hands-on during the entire process and always remained just a phone call away to support us, ease our stress, and help as much as she could as we finalized plans and as we got closer to our day! Both her photography skills and ability to empathize and connect are unmatched. The photos she took for us are breathtakingly beautiful and often leave us dumbfounded that they are ours. She has such an artistic ability to make the pictures she takes as bright, romantic, and cheery as the moments themselves, and she was able to capture our love in every picture. We are so excited to cherish these moments forever. ‘Photographer’ just doesn’t cut it, this lady does it ALL. She truly made our dream day a reality, and we are left with not only the most perfect pictures that we are entirely obsessed with, but also a new friendship we wish we could take back to Minnesota with us.

Hire rachel! Dont wait!

Rachel is the BEST THING that ever happened to our wedding day. I am a wedding planner by professional and knew how important it was to select the right photographer, it was a no brainer when we hired Rachel. I worked with her several times in the industry, then her & my now husband planned a surprise proposal for me, so it was the obvious choice to keep the special relationship going and have her by our side on wedding day! Her and her husband Igor flew all the way from the west coast to the mid west just to support us, and provided the most calm, efficient, caring, and organized services that we could have asked for. If her services, commitment, and kindness weren't enough, her PHOTOS ARE TO DIE FOR. She captured our day with the utmost respect, diligence, and intentional care, and we only have the sneak peek so far!!!!!!! If you're wondering if you should work with Rachel, the answer is yes, yes, and YES again. Thank you Rachel and Igor!

Photographer

If you’re thinking to yourself, “I have a friend who likes photography… I’ll have them take great pictures for my wedding AND I’ll save money!” STOP IMMEDIATELY. When it’s all over you’ll be left with a few anecdotes and some blurry pictures to remember one blur of a day. The only gift I can recommend you give yourself, is a photographer who cares as much as you do - about you having the best wedding experience.


I reached out to Rachel after finding her pictures online. I instantly fell in love; her pictures made me excited to be a bride. From the first email and phone call, her energy is amazing. She knows exactly what she’s doing and helped me fill in a lot of blanks for what my wedding day could be! She was always cheerful, easy to communicate with and professional. The pictures I got back from our engagement and wedding are so incredible. I have enjoyed showing them off and decorating our home with the greatest pictures taken of us.

I cannot stress enough how easily she put my husband and I at ease. She made us feel very comfortable having our pictures taken and helped bring a fun energy that carried through the day.

I was surprised how she quickly took on other roles that were not in her job description. Thank God she can figure her way around a bustle! All I can say is, she was a missing piece I didn’t know that my wedding day needed when I got started planning. Looking back it wouldn’t have been the same day without her.

Dream photographer for all your special moments!

I've known Rachel for several years now and have worked together on many events in the Seattle area (I'm a wedding planner + she is a photographer!). It was a no brainer to book our holiday photo shoot with her in November 2022. Little did I know she was working with my man behind the scenes to plan my surprise proposal! I can't thank her enough for executing the dream engagement we will look back on forever. Rachel is detailed, patient, knowledgable, and so so kind. We love her so much that we're flying her across the country to be by own side on our special day. Don't miss out, hire this DREAM of a photographer, you won't regret it!

Absolute wow

After flying into Washington not only for vacation but to have our engagement photos taken by Rachel we could not have had a better experience. Not only was it a stress free experience, being that we have never been to Washington, but our photos are absolutely outstanding. Rachel had us right where we needed to be at the perfect time, even keeping slower members of our party in line, to make sure everything was an amazing experience. Not only would I recommend you book Rachel for engagement photos but I wish my fiancé and I lived in the same half of the country so we could have booked her for our wedding photos too. Rachel is a fantastic photographer and person who you should, most definitely hire.

Loved our engagement photos

We hired Rachel for our engagement photos and loved absolutely every minute of our shoot. Rachel was on time, upbeat, professional, and just an overall joy to work with. I usually don't feel comfortable in front of a camera but Rachel put both me and my fiancé at ease and made us feel completely relaxed. I loved how many wonderful photos we got from that day (it's so hard to pick just one or two for our Save the Dates!).

Best Engagement Photographer

Rachel was a blast to work with! My fiancé wasn’t too excited for taking engagement photos, and came away thinking it was an incredible experience thanks to Rachel. It was a wonderful moment for us to connect after weeks of well-meaning, but overwhelming celebrations and well-wishes from friends after we got engaged. She was upbeat, funny, and made us comfortable right from the start of our session. She also worked with our dog to make sure he was part of the fun.
That was all about the experience, but let me tell you, the photos were even more amazing. She captured the love, excitement, and warmth of our relationship in a two hour session. We loved her work so much we booked her for our wedding day as well! Thank you Rachel!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
