    AMAZING Photographer and Wedding Vendor Partner

    Rachael Osborn Photography is AMAZING, if Rachael is available for your date, stop now and hire her! I can’t possibly convey in words how thankful I am that Rachel was our wedding photographer. She was an absolute DREAM to work with and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Our friends have since hired her for their wedding and we are excited to see her again!

    When choosing our wedding vendors, photography was always one of my top priorities, even more so given the covid pandemic related challenges impacting weddings. I initially found Rachael through a vendor search on The Knot and was impressed with the excellent reviews I saw. My husband and I loved our initial consultation call with Rachael, she was extremely friendly, calm, and super organized. She walked us through how she approaches each wedding day from the way she prepares in the months/weeks leading up to the big day, to contingency planning for weather, and how she stores and backups up all the photos. The galleries she sent as examples were so beautiful, they brought me to tears. My husband said “If you don’t even know these people and these photos have touched you so much then why would we look an further, we need to hire Rachael for our wedding.”

    Wedding planning was stressful for me, but every interaction with Rachael was so easy and she always set me at ease and supported/cheered me along while offering to help in any way she could. Her communication is awesome, she’s quick to answer questions and always keeps her out of office notifications updated if she’s traveling to let you know when to expect a response and how to reach her for emergencies. She also had great recommendations for other wedding vendors based on her experience in the industry. Rachael is extremely organized and made sure she had a complete list of all the combinations of family/wedding party/friend group photos we wanted for the day. Aside from specific family groupings, we didn’t request a detailed list of photos because we had the utmost faith that she would use her artistic ability to capture the day and our guests. We have no regrets, she nailed it!

    My husband and I were nervous before our engagement session, but she quickly set us at ease. Our engagement session felt more like a fun conversation with a friend vs. a photo shoot and we couldn’t be more excited with how the pictures turned out, they are gorgeous and really capture our authentic selves. On our wedding day I was so excited to see Rachael and we loved spending the day with her and her 2nd shooter, it was like having two bonus friends along for the ride. Rachael is excellent at sticking to a timeline, but in a way that makes it feel like the whole day is flowing naturally instead of a rigid march from event to event or picture to picture. Our ceremony ran long, and we ended up starting pictures late, but Rachel was able to catch up our timeline without cutting any shots or making us feel rushed. When she hugged me goodbye at the end of the night I was holding back tears because I didn’t want our time with her to be over. I highly recommend Rachael, hiring her our best decision! We fall more and more in love with our photos every time we look at them and have received countless compliments on our photos. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so perfectly Rachael!

    Rachael is THE BEST vendor!!!

    Rachael is simply the best! I would definitely recommend her as your wedding photographer!
    I knew I wanted to hire Rachael before I was even engaged. I knew four different people from my high school that had used Rachael for their wedding photos and I thought her work was just incredible. Her photos are absolutely stunning and I love how she captures such a special day. However, I didn't know at the time what a wonderful human she is or how supportive she is as a vendor. I signed a contract with Rachael either right before the pandemic hit or literally right as it started. My wedding was 1.5 years away still and I didn't know the pandemic was going to have an impact on my wedding. During this time, I followed Rachael on social media where she was always super positive, supportive, reassuring, and simply made COVID brides feel so much better about the horrible situation. Many tears were shed along the way, but Rachael always made me feel so much better and truly got me through the COVID experience with her positive attitude. Unfortunately, we made the difficult decision to push our wedding back another year. Rachael worked with us to secure a new wedding date and never complained or made us feel bad about our decision to postpone. (I know that decision hurts her business, unfortunately!) She was very helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. She is a very good resource for all things wedding (ideas, recommendations, etc!). Be sure to follow her on Instagram!!! She recommended several videographers to us and even started contacting them on our behalf to inquire about our new wedding date! I've even asked her for recommendations on external hard drives. You can literally ask her anything and she will help you!
    Flash forward to our wedding day, it was supposed to rain all day and it was humid and super windy. Rachael kept a positive attitude and reassured me we would get all the pictures I wanted and the rain wouldn't ruin my day. She knew my venue well and had backup plans in case the weather didn't cooperate. Her presence on my wedding day made me feel so much better about the weather. Luckily, it didn't end up raining until late at night when we were dancing and therefore, I got all the outdoor photos I wanted! :) Even if it had rained, I know Rachael would have made the best of it with indoor locations and the pictures still would have been amazing!
    Rachael goes above and beyond to help you with whatever you need. My wedding dress needed to be taped to my body and she took the time to help my sister and me in the morning. Later, I found myself surrounded by only males and needed my dress bustled quickly, so Rachael actually bustled my dress for me. Rachael is really good at keeping you on schedule! Being on time was a big worry of mine, and I never felt like I was rushing or delayed. I can't tell you how nice it was that she was cognizant of the schedule the entire day so that I didn't have to be worried about it!!! She was also really good at photographing my nieces and nephews at the wedding. They are all very young and she was really good at getting their attention and making them laugh/smile. I have a large extended family, and Rachael did a really good job of rounding everyone up quickly and being patient while getting really good group photos. She does a really nice job of instructing everyone without being pushy! This is an extremely important quality for photographers, in my opinion! Even my father, who is a man of few words, was raving about how excellent Rachael was! I just can't say enough good things about Rachael! When I received my wedding album, I literally cried! The pictures are so beautiful and I will cherish them forever. Definitely buy the prints from her, they are of awesome quality! I have her photos hanging all over my house and they are simply stunning! Thank you to Rachael for being so wonderful throughout the long process! My husband and I really appreciate you!

    The Best of the Best!

    Where do I even begin?! Rachael was easily the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Not only is she an incredibly talented artist but she's an excellent communicator, professional, organized, kind, and above all, really fun to be around. We had both our engagement shoot and our wedding day with Rachael and myself and my husband actually had FUN doing both (and like many, my husband wasn't initially excited to spend hours taking photos). I've looked back and all of the pictures at least 100 times and still smile every time I do - they are stunning. She captured all of the big and little moments so perfectly.

    The actual pictures are important but working with someone that makes the day enjoyable is just as important (I think!). Rachael became part of our crew and my friends and family affectionately call her by her first name in recapping the day, as if she was another bridesmaid we've known for years. I am genuinely sad the day is over and we don't get to spend more time with our friend - if you are lucky enough to get to work with her I know you will feel the same.

    Amazing! 100/10 recommend Rachael!

    Rachael was the best choice to capture our wedding! If you are reading her reviews do yourself a favor a book her ASAP!! Rachael was incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding and throughout the wedding day. Our photos are incredible and we get so many comments about the quality and style of photography. Rachael had shot several other weddings that we had been too, she was such a blast and so personable that we knew we wanted her when it was time to plan our wedding. Rachael thought of many things that did not cross our minds and even served me a margarita during our reception :). She was responsive and did her research when shooting at new sites to make the process fun and easy. We can't wait to book her again for future photography needs!

    The best photographer out there!

    Where do I begin? Well to start, I own my own wedding planning company in Chicago so when it came time for me to pick a photographer, it’s safe to say I was extremely picky in what I was looking for. I understand that loving your vendor team is more than just the work they produce; in order to be happy with your team, you have to love their personality. Especially photographers, they are literally with you longer than you’re with your soon-to-be-spouse, so if you better love being around them! I actually hadn’t worked with Rachael before I signed with her for my wedding. I hopped on a zoom with her and immediately fell at ease because of her genuine nature and fun/goofy personality. I could tell we would be friends outside of the wedding world. We had our engagement shoot with Rachael and is it weird to say I had a blast? I do love taking photos but even my [now] husband thought she put him at ease and really directed with poses and kept the conversation and laughs going. The photos were OUT OF THIS WORLD which I truly couldn’t be happier about. So when our wedding was postponed from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021 and there was “no end in sight” we decided to push our wedding to 2022 and “elope” on our second date. Rachael was an absolute sweetheart among the transition, while she did not sign up for it, she allowed me to vent (ha!) and was one of my biggest support teams. As we started planning our elopement in Texas in May 2021, we were really stuck what to do with photography. Do we hire a local vendor or fly Rachael out with one of her elopement packages? Weighing pros/cons and everything in between, we felt the most excited and comfortable bringing her with (the only vendor we flew in!) to capture our big day. I’m currently honeymooning and could not wait to write her a review, despite we only have our **UNREAL** sneak peak back.
    After reviewing the photos, sliding back and forth between the mini gallery [just about 100 times] I shed a few tears and immediately reached out that she is verbatim, the *best* photographer ever. I work with countless fabulous photographers, don’t get me wrong, I love SO many that I can’t really favorite just one. But there is something very special about Rachael’s editing style, ability to work with the elements, her happy go-lucky spirit and overall talent. I wish I could put into words how much she heightened our big day and will allow us to look back at the photos, smile, and relive the day. Spending the money on a photographer is well worth it. You will never regret having amazing photos, because it’s more than the photos you get back. It’s the memories you can look at when you’re having a bad day, and to pass down to your children and grandchildren. Do yourself a favor and set up a call with Rachael. She travels nation and worldwide (hopefully we’re working an Italy wedding together next year ;) ) and will be your new best friend, and favorite photographer of course. Cheers to you Rachael, I appreciate you more than you know. I can’t wait to have you capture our “wedding” next Fall.

    Rachael is amazing!

    She brings such great energy to the engagement session and on the wedding day. She works so well with all of the other vendors and our bridal party. She gives great cues to the entire group and communicates well not only on the day but via email leading up to the day. She was so flexible with date and venue changes due to covid and she had such an impressive turnaround time with our photos! She sent over the most gorgeous sneak peak a couple days after the wedding and we had our entire gallery within one month! She also does a fabulous job on editing photos and has great attention to detail. One of my bridesmaids already hired her for her wedding!

    Stress Free and Amazing!

    It is better late than never, but Rachael was our engagement and wedding photographer this last year. I couldn't be happier with our photos! I knew after looking at her work we had to book her! We still get comments about how beautiful they are! Rachael is so easy to connect with, flexible and we also felt comfortable to do shoots with her. If you haven't yet, I would make sure you get to know her and her work!

    Her Captured Moments Of Couple and Guest Were Genuine and Authentic

    If I could Rachael higher than a five star I would. My husband and I found Rachael after many days of deep diving into online reviews and Instagram pages. Her talent poured through her pictures. The style/coloring was everything we were looking for and the moments she captured of couples and guests were genuine and authentic. After we booked her, to my surprise, not only was Rachael super talented but she was also a light to be around. Her personality radiates positivity and she makes you feel so comfortable in situations you're probably not overly used to (someone taking multiple pictures of you). We absolutely LOVE the way our wedding pictures turned out and have a ton of friends who are now using Rachael for their special day after seeing them. Any couple would be lucky to have Rachael as their photographer!

    We love Rachael!

    I knew we HAD to hire Rachael the minute I saw her photos everywhere at the consultation room at our venue and was absolutely relieved when she was available for our day. We could not wait to meet Rachael after our first phone call because she was so fun to talk with and had such great ideas. When we met her for our engagement session, we had a blast and didn't want the night to end!

    Then our wedding day... Rachael was fabulous in every way and I was so excited to see her the morning of the wedding. She has an eye for details and captures every hug, happy tear, laugh and kiss so perfectly. When she sent us a message that our photos were ready, we both cried through every photo because she had captured us and our wedding day so beautifully. We are sad the wedding day is over because we just want to keep hanging out with Rachael! :) Thanks for everything Rachael. You truly are the best!!

    Best Decision We Could Have Made!

    My husband and I found Rachael on a fluke, and it was the best thing that ever happened to us - both for our wedding and for our personal lives. Choosing to work with Rachael brought nothing but positive vibes. She stayed present and on top of her game in every way possible. When our wedding venue (a restaurant in Chicago) decided to close it's doors without notice 3 weeks before our big day, it was Rachael who stepped up to the challenge and got our local news to cover the story to help get justice for us, as well as attract other venues to help host our 100 person wedding. She reached out to many personal contacts in her business world to help as well. We thankfully landed on a beautiful new venue - thanks to her persistence and hard work. The day of our wedding she commanded the room and took charge (in the best way possible) and kept the ball rolling so we all stayed on our timeline. As a bride, you try to think of everything you can do yourself and try to shoulder a lot of the daunting tasks. Having Rachael part of our journey took so much stress and worry out of me. She truly knows what she is doing and it shows in everything she does. Her style of photography was exactly what my husband and I wanted; light and bright photos that showed a playful side as well as some high end editorial shots (it was perfect for showing my dress off). I felt like each picture could have been submitted to a magazine! She made me and my bridesmaids look beautiful, and made my husband and his groomsman look dapper and handsome. Everyone had so much fun with her! My husband and I still continue to stay in touch with Rachael (a year after our wedding). It's a bummer she's relocating to South Carolina - we kept wanting to meet up with our dogs at the beaches in Chicago! She is still working in Chicago though so hopefully we'll still be able to meet up for a doggie play date! We love Rachael so much - and know you will love her too!

    I cannot rave and love on her enough

    As a wedding photographer, I’ve watched Rachael’s business flourish and evolve over the years, so when it came time for me to hire our wedding photographer, I scheduled our Isla Mujeres destination wedding around her availability.

    Rachael’s photos from our engagement + wedding are romantic, timeless and full of emotion. She knows how to capture all of the little moments in between AND still get all of those important family and group photos. The photos that she created on our wedding day were more than I could have dreamed of, and she managed to get everything I wanted (which was a tall order) and then some.

    Oh, and I swear she is a dog whisperer because the photos she got with our furbaby are perfect!!!

    Leading up to the wedding, she was only a phone call or text away to chat about wedding ideas, photo locations or timeline suggestions.

    Her fun energy and up for anything attitude made the whole process from the engagement session to the wedding day so easy and fun.

    I trusted her completely to see our wedding day through her camera and the results were pure magic.

    I cannot rave and love on her enough, so if you are looking for a photographer who is going to create beautiful photos and feel like a best friend on your wedding day, you have both in Rachael. :)

    Amazing Experience!

    Rachael is absolutely the person to go with when booking a wedding photographer. Warm and personable, she makes everyone feel comfortable. Honestly, she was so much fun to be around!
    Her pictures are stunning, because she captures the joy in the little moments. Her pictures are genuine and real. We were blown away! Booking Rachael was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding, I truly cannot say enough great things!

    Breathtaking wedding photos delivered by an astonishing photographer!

    If I could give Rachael more stars, I would! She seriously made the best impression on me and my husband from the moment we contacted her! I was having such a difficult time choosing a photographer and I was ecstatic when I reached out to her and she got back to me within hours with a friendly and upbeat response. I could tell right away that she cares about her clients on more than a business level! That personal touch really meant a lot to me and gave me comfort knowing I would have her around for my big day! She was very flexible with the engagement session and came all the way to Chicago to shoot a session for us (she lives in my hometown of Sterling, like what are the odds?!). She gives a backup date just in case the weather does not cooperate, which definitely happened to us so we were thankful for it! On our wedding day, I was just a bit overwhelmed in the morning but the second she walked in, I felt much more at ease! Rachael is seriously so friendly and gets along with anyone! She knows how to make light of situations and get everyone around her smiling. My family made numerous comments throughout the night about how wonderful she had been throughout the entire day! We had a lot of different combinations for photos and her and her second shooter were nothing short of amazing calling everyone up and making sure we had photos for memories to last a lifetime. After the ceremony, everything was a bit of a whirlwind but Rachael made sure to get our sunset photos we wanted, hangout with the DJ while he showed her some pretty cool magic tricks, and stay later than expected because she wanted to capture dancing photos and all of the fun wedding traditional photos. We received our photos in the time frame she promised and they turned out wonderfully! I will cherish every single one of these photos for the rest of my life! I cannot put into words how grateful we are that we found Rachael and that she was willing to shoot our wedding day. I promise you will not regret your decision to go with Rachael Osborn Photography! You’ll be in great hands!!

    Rachael, thank you so much for everything you did for us on our day. It is more appreciated than we can express in a review but you truly are incredible at your craft. I will continue to always recommend you to anyone asking for a wedding photographer because you made our day and memories so special.

    I can't say enough good things about Rachael. First off, her photographs are stunning. When I was in the decision process looking through dozens of photographer's portfolios, I was struck with how soft and romantic her pictures are and how stunning every single bride looked in them. I knew I had found someone who I could trust with the memories of my wedding. As soon as the wedding was over and I got those first few preview shots from her, I knew how happy I was going to be with the final product.

    Second, Rachael is wonderful to be around, and I don't think people weigh that as heavily as they should! Your photographer is someone you're going to be around constantly during your wedding day-- almost more so than your guests! Rachael has a wonderful energy, made my husband and I feel not only comfortable but confident in front of the camera, and she was so upbeat and positive all day! That's the energy you want to surround yourself with, and she has it in spades.

    Third, Rachael is organized and really put in work ahead of the wedding to accomplish exactly what I was looking for. She sent me a packet to fill out with shots I wanted, groups I wanted pictures with, traditions that were important to the big day so she could be sure to capture them, etc. She made creating a timeline for pictures incredibly easy, and that's the #1 thing I was daunted by before talking to her. She was so helpful and on top of things.

    I really think that hiring Rachael was the best choice I made for my wedding day. You could be this happy!!! Hire her!

    Hiring Rachael was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Photography was always one of the most important aspects to the wedding day for my husband and I, so we vetted through a ton of different photographers. After talking with Rachael, we knew she was the perfect choice for us! She is so kind, friendly and upbeat, you just can’t help but to smile when you are around her! Formal pictures are always a bit awkward, but Rachael put us right at ease when we met for our engagement session. She was great at helping to pose us and create genuine joyful moments throughout the shoot. We were obsessed with our photos!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding day, she helped us to create a shot list to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted captured. On the day of, she showed up to take pictures of us girls getting ready and made the morning so fun! The guys loved having her assistant Danielle there to capture them in the morning too! Rachael and Danielle braved a very hot day and hordes of mosquitoes during our formal portrait session and took the most beautiful images! I’m so thankful we found Rachael, there is no one I would have trusted more with capturing all of the special moments of our day!

    Stop researching now!! You will not find a photographer like Rachael! I want her to photograph my life! She is without a doubt the BEST! From prewedding planning to the big day to post wedding, she is with you every step of the way. She is very organized with providing all the information she needs for the big day and made great recommendations. What makes her truly stand out, is how friendly she is and how much fun she makes the day. She is very enthusiastic and makes you feel incredibly special on your big day. Her professionalism and creativeness were outstanding. Her attention to detail had such a positive impact on our photos. Rachael has a very quick turn around with her photos. She is very accommodating, very caring and compassionate with her work. You feel like you’ve known her your whole life. She is someone you want on your team for your wedding day. We also had Nicole, who was a fantastic expentension of Rachael’s team. Nicole was very professional and fun and was a great addition to our day. Rachael and Nicole go above and beyond for their clients and their work was outstanding. They truly captured the love of our day and their photos feel as though you’re reliving the day. I will without a doubt recommend Rachael Osborn to everyone for every photo need, especially weddings. We cannot wait to use her again in the future.

    Rachael is an absolutely incredible photographer who knows exactly how to make her clients feel comfortable! It's so nice that you get to meet at the engagement session before the big day! Rachael has such a positive, spunky attitude and seems to get along with everyone. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and she works really hard to get you a sneak peek at your photos within just a few days!! The quality of photos are amazing! You will not be disappointed!! We also had our makeup vendor cancel a few months before the wedding so I reached out to Rachael to see if she had any suggestions and within hours she sent me like 10 recommendations! She really cares about you! I know we will cherish the beautiful photos forever!!

    I honestly wish I could rank Rachael higher than 5 stars. Photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding to me and I researched a LOT of other photographers before finding Rachael Osborn. From the first time we emailed back and forth to the day of engagement pictures, I knew we were in good hands. Not only is she the biggest sweetheart, with a huge heart for what she does, but she's easy going, fun, and makes you feel so comfortable. And did I mention how incredibly talented she is. We've already had a few friends and family book her for their upcoming weddings. She was so much fun on the day of the wedding and captured such special details and moments. We were married a little over a month ago and already have our photos back - they are perfect. Don't hesitate for a second to book Rachael!

    I have been following Rachael's pictures from a FB friend and just thinking of how astonishing she makes her family look and captures every moment. I knew I couldn't NOT have her with us on our wedding day. If you want photos that are not just for memory but look like the ones you see on Pinterest and Style me pretty, Rachael is your girl...... It also doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous! :)

    My husband really could have cared less with what vendors we had- but with Rachael he would brag about how amazing our photography and her presence was!

    Not only did Rachael and her 2nd shooter fly out-of-state for my wedding, she offered to shoot our Chinese Tea Ceremony in lieu of an engagement shoot a day before the wedding! She was such a bright and cheery lady who always kept her cool as hectic as both of these days were. All of my other vendors befriended and fell in love with Rachael (doesn't that say a lot about someone?) And YES, the photos were INCREDIBLE!! We were so impressed with the overall quality of the photography! Look no further, you've found your photographer, book her quickly to reserve your date!

    Rachael exceeded our expectations for our wedding! She was very enthusiatic and captured candid photos rather than the typical posed wedding photos you see out there! We didn't even need a wedding video to re-live the big day. You can see the emotions everyone had from the ceremony to the reception. I loved how she incorporated the natural lighting in photos and everything just looked natural! Rachael is such an awesome and sweet person to work with and will give you exactly what you are looking for in a photographer! She not only shoots in Illinois, but travels as well! We highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    We used Rachael Osborn Photography for our wedding in April, and we couldn’t be happier! From the start, we felt very good about choosing Rachael to document such an important time in our lives. Her passion and positivity were readily apparent during our engagement shoot, which many other photographers may have called off due to unforecast rain. Rachael came prepared, kept us laughing the whole time, and despite the conditions, produced absolutely breathtaking photos that were fun and lighthearted. Rachael made us feel very comfortable, and our time spent with her that afternoon made us absolutely confident that our wedding photos would turn out beautifully!

    On our wedding day, we also had some rather strange weather, with periods of sun, clouds, snow, and high winds throughout the day. Despite these challenges, Rachael and her assistant used these unexpected weather elements to create some AMAZING photos! Rachael and her assistant were punctual, professional, easy going, and overall just an absolute pleasure to work with. At no point did we ever feel rushed or stressed to get in all the photos we wanted. Small acts of kindness such as offering to get us drinks during cocktail hour showed how ready and willing Rachael was to go above and beyond!

    Most importantly, our photos were gorgeous! It is a testament to Rachael’s work that we struggled to pick out our favorites for the wedding album. They were truly phenomenal shots that ran the gamut from beautiful portraits, to stunning detail shots, to well-timed candids that truly captured all of the joy, laughter, and happiness that day! Choosing Rachael as our photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our photo album will be a priceless keepsake that we will treasure for years and years to come!

    We highly recommend Rachael Osborn Photography!

    5 stars aren’t enough! Rachael Osborn is an incredibly talented photographer and truly great to work with. She captured the big moments of the day, every single detail, and she made the entire process super fun. When the weather didn’t cooperate, her attitude, flexibility, and great eye produced shots that actually made me happy the sun wasn’t shining. My wedding photographs are a treasure!
