Flawless experience

As soon as we got engaged, I knew I wanted to use Rachel. While we had a supperrr long engagement, that never changed, and we were so happy with the decision! Rachel and Josh have this insane ability to make anything look good, even the “mistakes”. We’ve used them for pet photos for several years, and on the day they were so laid back, flexible, and creative. My now hubby commented on how well they worked together - something I never anticipated him commenting on, given how uncomfortable he is with photos - as well as how he didn’t notice them there throughout the day, even though they were literally there the whole day. We’ve only gotten sneaks so far, but I have no doubt we will be absolutely in love with them all, as always. Thank you two!

Pure magic!

Rachel & Josh (Videographer, AFrame Digitial) are a husband & wife duo we knew we wanted on board for our Wedding since the day we got engaged. We had seen their work on Instagram and fell in love, but meeting them in person brought so much more appreciation to them as individuals and artists. They both are AMAZING! Extremely down to earth and kind. We booked them prior to the pandemic; however, they were extremely flexible and understanding when we decided to rebook to our new date without hassle or charge. They spent 3+ hours with us for our Engagement shoot and without us having to ask, blocked off the entire week of our Wedding so they could be present for all of our events. They brought so much comfort in front of the camera, giving us the opportunity to embrace the emotions & be ourselves without reservations. Their work is PURE MAGIC and we could not have asked for a better team. The hardest part about booking them was picking & choosing which picture(s) we wanted to share with our family and friends because we loved them ALL. We truly appreciated their dedication, time and passion. 10/10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH!

Fabulous Photographer!

Rachel and her husband Josh (videographer, AFrame Digital) were fabulous to work with. From our first meeting to sharing drinks on their back porch planning, and then changing all those plans due to COVID, Rachel was all about it! We initially had plans to elope to Scotland but changed to Colorado. They didn't bat an eye and jumped in their "camper van" and met us out west. We had such a fantastic time shooting with them and never felt rushed or posed silly. Everything was authentic. Rachel is the type of photographer who will shoot your wedding, family sessions, and everything in between for your life!

Phenomenal!

Rachel was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. We communicated via email and phone prior to the wedding, and she provided a detailed questionnaire before our wedding to make sure we knew what photos we wanted. She went above and beyond the day-of, and even took us out to a field at golden hour to get some gorgeous shots. She's not afraid to get into the weeds with you, which we greatly appreciated because those are the types of photos we wanted! She captured such creative and unique moments that I haven't seen anywhere else. Her style is so beautiful and I cannot wait to get photos made into a book and printed to hang in our home. Her photos are pure art, they aren't your typical cookie-cutter style. Each photo was taken with intent and the angles and crops she used are just spot-on. She is so friendly, kind, and down-to-earth, and I highly recommend her if you are in the Upstate NY area! I definitely plan on hiring her in the future, she is a dream to work with! I cannot say enough good things about Rachel! She is awesome!

Rachel is simply amazing!

Rachel's photography is stunning! She made us feel completely comfortable and gave us directions for both our engagement and wedding photos. Rachel has such an eye for beautiful backgrounds, sunsets, and she researches places that the photos will look best taken in. Her personality makes you feel like you've known her for years and she became our friend in the process. Rachel is a professional and we were so blessed to have her as our photographer! We will be using her for every future event!

Dream Wedding Photographer

If you are lucky enough to have found Rachel then HIRE HER IMMEDIATLY! I cannot say enough good things about her. Her work is absolutely amazing, we were thrilled with all the photos she took and all of our friends and family were blown away by the quality of her work. As if that wasn't enough she has is a very fun and relaxed personality and is so fun to be around! I was a bit camera shy and worried because I am not the most photogenic and Rachel was able to make me feel relaxed and confident and took photos of me that I genuinely love all while I was having the best day and making memories, not feeling like I was posing for photos! Thank you Rachel!!

I can’t even begin to say how amazing Rachel is. Best decision we made for the wedding vendors. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I looked at around 30 wedding photographers and nobody even came close. I feel like nothing I even write can really do her work justice so i’ll post some photos, but if you want amazing pictures and someone awesome to work with use Rachel!

Our wedding was in Rochester, NY where I'm from and where Rachel is based, but we live in Southern California. She TRAVELED ACROSS THE COUNTRY to shoot our engagement photos in CA. She embraces travel (elopements, destination weddings, etc) as well working locally, so wherever you are (or plan to go) in the world, consider Rachel for your photography needs. In addition to her willingness to come to CA for our engagement shoot, we could go on for days about all the reasons we thank our lucky stars that Rachel was the one to document this beautiful time in our lives. Rachel was a dream to work with and she delivers the goods. She has a unique eye, an impossible-not-to-love personality, and a special ability to make you feel and look amazing & completely at ease. She took the time to get to know us so that she could add sweet personal touches to our photo shoots, and she was always prompt & responsive throughout the process. Her second shooter Cris accompanied her for our wedding day to ensure all guests, moments & various angles were captured, and was equally delightful to work with, talented & experienced. Rachel's style is all her own and our photos are far above & beyond anything we ever imagined they could be. Looking at her photos, it's easy to see her knack for shooting in natural light and using nature as a backdrop, the relaxed & natural vibe, and her ability to capture candid sentimental moments as well as an ability to arrange the "staged" shots in creative & fun ways. Her photos have a somewhat vintage feel and almost appear to be shot with film although they're digital. She got our photos to us quickly and we were able to easily download and share them. Invest in an artist who'll tell the story of your wedding day in a soulful, romantic & unique way. You will get that with Rachel, and you will want her to photograph all your momentous life events thereafter. She now also offers photo+video packages together with her husband Josh (an amazing videographer).

Rachel was awesome and a true professional. She is a magician with the camera. From engagement shoot to the wedding day. You have to book early as she is going to be fine if you wait.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Rachel is not only prompt with her(in?) responses, but she is also super down to earth and most important to a planner... understands how to stay on a day-of wedding timeline :). I love that Rachel takes the extra time to post weddings to her Blog and I know its something that really makes that client feel special as well. Looking forward to many more destination weddings in the beautiful the Adirondacks. Placid Planner Weddings
