10000% perfectt!

Oh my goodness I truly do not have the words to express my appreciation and satisfaction had with Rachael’s service. She exceeded our expectations in every single way! We hired her to take our engagement photos and I still cannot believe how beautiful they turned out. Her style is so real and authentic . . Then our big wedding day came and AGAIN I didn’t think I could be any happier than how we were after receiving our engagement photos but our wedding photos were ever BETTER! The photos turned out like they could be in a magazine and all our family and friends said the same. I get asked almost every time I see someone who took my wedding photos ! I can go on and on… Do yourself a favor and hire Rachael . You will not regret it .

The Best Photographer!

Rachael was absolutely amazing to work with, from our engagement shoot all the way through our wedding day. She is so friendly, easygoing, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. I’m usually very camera-shy, but she immediately put my fiancé and me at ease and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

She truly understood the style and vision we were going for and executed it perfectly. Rachael was incredibly professional and punctual, and she delivered our photos in a very timely manner. Every single photo came out beautifully—like something out of a dream. It honestly feels like we can relive those moments just by looking at our photos. The quality and details of her work are truly phenomenal.

We received so many compliments from friends and family on how stunning the photos were and how talented our photographer clearly was. Rachael is the real deal. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion, and we would love to work with her again in the future.

Hired her 3x because we loved working with her so much

This review is longg overdue, but it doesn't change the fact that working with Rachael was such a memorable experience. Rachael was such a pleasure to work with for our engagement & wedding photos! Rachael has such a laid-back & relaxed personality, which makes her so easy to work with. My husband and I aren't always comfortable in front of the camera, but Rachael made the photos look so effortless. She has a special way of capturing your favorite memories; looking back at my wedding photos always brings a smile to my face. We loved her so much, we decided to hire her a third time for our maternity shoot!

Couldn't recommend Rachael and her team more!

Truly can’t say enough good things about Rachael - her talent and creativity speak for themselves but she’s also such a lovely human and my husband and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with our wedding photos. Rachael actually photographed a friend’s wedding and upon seeing the gallery post-wedding, I was absolutely captivated. Rachael has such a unique eye for the details and truly captured our day better than we could have imagined. She is so organized which made planning easy and she also has a very calming presence which was a welcome energy on our wedding day. Book her while you still can, you will not regret it!

Amazing Photoshoot!

I had the pleasure of working with Rachael for a photoshoot of my husband and me, and I cannot express how thrilled we are with the results. Rachael is an absolute gem of a photographer, and her talent truly shines through in every shot she captured.

From the moment we met her, Rachael made us feel at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, which made the whole experience incredibly personalized. Her attention to detail and creativity were evident throughout the entire shoot.

Rachael has a knack for capturing the most genuine and intimate moments. What I particularly appreciated was her ability to direct us without making us feel posed. She made the entire process fun and relaxed, allowing our true emotions and connections to shine through in every shot. She has an exceptional eye for capturing those candid moments that truly tell a story.

We now have a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. We can't wait to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Rachael, for making this special moment in our lives even more memorable!

My favorite wedding vendor

I wish I could give Rachael 6 stars! The photos she took were incredible. I was completely blown away by them. They were exactly the style I wanted. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera and she made it so fun and easy. Her photos let us relive our wedding day because she captured the feeling of the day so well. She was really helpful in planning our timeline in order to get all the photos we wanted while keeping the day fun and relaxed. In addition, she got us our sneak peaks within a week of our wedding! And got the rest of the photos to us within 4 weeks. I recommend her whole heartedly. Book her now!

A must have Wedding Photographer

My partner and I had the incredible privilege of having Rachael as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Rachael impressed us with her professionalism and warm personality, and it only got better from there.

From the pre-wedding photos to the big day itself, Rachael demonstrated exceptional talent and a keen eye for detail. She managed to beautifully capture all the emotions, moments, and little details that made our wedding so special. On one of our photo shoot, it rained and the venue was late to admit us. Rachael was such a trooper about it and still managed to have a successful shoot.

One thing that stood out to us was Racheal's ability to blend into the background, making us and our guests feel comfortable and allowing the true essence of our day to shine through. She didn't just take pictures; she told a story. Every image we received was a piece of art that truly reflected the love, joy, and essence of our wedding day.

Moreover, Rachael was always there when we needed her, offering guidance and suggestions without ever being intrusive. She understood our vision and added her creative touch to make our photos uniquely ours. We couldn't have asked for a better collaborator to document our day.

The turnaround time for receiving our photos was also impressive. We got our pictures promptly, and each image was meticulously edited to perfection. The quality of the photos was outstanding and had a timeless quality that we absolutely adore.

We feel incredibly fortunate to work with Rachael, and we can't recommend her enough. Her work speaks for itself, and she have given us priceless memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only exceptionally talented but also a pleasure to work with, Rachael is the one for you. Thank you for making our dream day even more memorable!

Amazing photographer, beautiful photos!

This review is long overdue, but Rachael was our photographer for our wedding last year and we loved her! From the start, she was very responsive and had great communication. She worked with us to customize a package that fit our needs, and she was so helpful answering any questions we had throughout our planning process.

On our wedding day, she was so kind and easy to work with. Her calming presence put us at ease and allowed us to really be in the moment and enjoy our day and time together for our first look and other couple photos. The whole day we were in good hands with Rachael (and assistant Paul). We appreciated their guidance and willingness to capture any silly shots we had in mind.

The photos turned out so beautifully, and Rachael was really able to capture the magic we felt that day in them. They are the perfect blend of dreamy, romantic, and fun that we wanted and are an amazing way to look back on and forever treasure our wedding day. Thank you for everything Rachael!

Rachael (RP Collective) is incredible!

Hire Rachael as your photographer - she is AMAZING! In the weeks leading up to our wedding, she met with us whenever we requested to plan the photograph schedule and answer any questions we had. On our wedding day, we really appreciated Rachael's calm and supportive energy: she coached us through different poses, but her coaching never felt intrusive; instead, we always felt completely comfortable and at ease. Just a few days after the wedding, Rachael shared a preview of the photographs, which were BEAUTIFUL! She is so talented and made us look great and captured the most precious moments from our wedding celebration. We are so happy we chose RP Collective - Rachael is an outstanding photographer and a joy to work with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
