  Rachel is AMAZING!!!

  I had an incredible experience working with Rachel! I had originally chosen Rachel because I loved her style of photography/editing and it aligned with my vision for the day. From our first consultation, I knew she'd be a great fit. Rachel was kind and sweet, asked all the right questions, helped us put together a preliminary wedding day timeline, and overall made me feel very comfortable about the whole wedding planning process.
  
  Fast forward to my wedding day- Rachel arrived right on schedule. I was getting a little stressed since my hair/makeup was taking longer than expected, and Rachel took my timeline changes in stride, pivoting to instead take pictures of my husband, the venue, etc. She was so calm and completely put me at ease because she would just go on and do her own thing, and didn't make me feel rushed at all (even though we were getting down to the wire with hair/makeup). She also managed to take several beautiful getting-ready shots, even as I was rushing to get my dress/jewelry/shoes on in time.
  
  Not only did Rachel make me feel comfortable during all of the getting ready craziness, she also basically saved my ceremony! Originally my ceremony was supposed to take place outside, but right as the ceremony was supposed to begin, we were hit with a completely random rain storm. All the guests were rushed inside, and I was asked to make a decision on what to do. We were leaning towards having the ceremony inside of the dining/reception space, and even though I didn't love the idea, I was ready to pull the trigger. But then Rachel had the most amazing idea to have the ceremony in the front of the venue and assured me that it would still be beautiful. I fully trusted her vision, and decided to go with her idea. And I am so glad we did! Given the weather and the rush to re-decorate, it was the absolute best backup plan, and the ceremony was still beautiful. And I owe it all to Rachel. :)
  
  Rachel did a phenomenal job taking pictures of my wedding. She captured every beautiful moment, and also managed to make my husband and I feel comfortable during our portraits. She also works very quickly- she managed to send me sneak peaks 2 days after my wedding! And then a few weeks later, she sent over the rest of the photos and had me absolutely in tears. She captured my entire day beautifully, and I couldn't have been happier with how the photos turned out.
  
  I couldn't be happier with our decision to have Rachel photograph our wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire her already. You will NOT regret it! Thank you Rachel for capturing our big day!!!!

  So happy we chose Rachel Elle Photography

  We just recently had our engagement photos done with Rachel, and the experience was great. I was pretty anxious about getting our photos done and feeling awkward in front of the camera, but Rachel lead the session and guided us through it all. We were laughing the entire time and genuinely had fun. We also got all of our photos back in just one week which was awesome, and they turned out beautiful! 💗 Super happy we chose Rachel to be our engagement/wedding photographer. I now know after our engagement session, that I will feel comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day which was super important to me. One less thing to be stressing on our special day 🥰

  Boudoir Review

  Not only does Rachel do amazing work, she is extremely kind and professional. I've used her services twice now, most recently for a boudoir shoot. I was a little anxious going into it, but Rachel encouraged me to go for it. She made me feel comfortable during the session, and really hyped me up! I think that came across in the photos. She's very easy to communicate with, and she always gets my photos back so quickly. I highly recommend booking with her!

  HIGHLY recommend Rachel Elle Photography!

  Rachel Elle Photography was AMAZING to work with! She was so sweet and easy to work with, she is so helpful in all things wedding planning and our pictures turned out SO SO GOOD! My fiancé does not like taking pictures, but she was able to make him feel comfortable in front of the camera and he even admitted that he had fun after our shoot!

  Rachel Elle Photography is GREAT!

  Rachel was easy to work with and very friendly! We were unsure of locations we wanted to go to, and she came up with a gorgeous location that we both really liked. She is knowledgeable about the area and a great photographer!

  An amazing photographer

  Rachel is super down to earth and very easy to work with. She’s always making sure she got every capture you imagined. She also has a very fast turn around with getting you back the edited photos. She really does an amazing job! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great photographer.

  Confidence Boost!

  I was lucky enough to have a Boudoir shoot with Rachel last week and I couldn't have enjoyed my time more! Right from the start she made me feel comfortable and confident! Rachel was easy going and very good at showing me how to start the poses and walking me through different looks for each pose! She made sure I left with all the things I wanted captured as well! My photos came back and are stunning. I have such a real smile in so many from the constant hype I got from Rachel. I thought I was confident going into my shoot and couldn't believe how much more confident I was coming out of it! Rachel sent me my photos about a week later, I couldn't believe how quickly she was able to get them to me. The site she uses to showcase them is great, it has a good layout and options to save them individually. 10/10 would do another Boudoir shoot with Rachel.

  Oh girl I am SO glad you loved them as much as I did! Your shoot was one of my favorites to shoot - you have so much natural beauty and your laugh and giggle are so infectious! Jon is a lucky man:)

  Boudoir Photoshoot

  I hired Rachel for my boudoir photoshoot + she was fabulous! She made me feel so comfortable + captured the perfect photos. Even the days leading up to the shoot, she was clear in what to bring + gave me inspo pics to go off of. This helped me a lot considering I have never done this before. When the photos came back, I couldn't believe I could look like that! I was stunning! Her timeless edits were classy, sexy, + beautiful all in one. 10/10 recommend hiring Rachel for your boudoir photoshoot!

  Amazing photography and we had SO much fun!

  When we first met with Rachel, we knew we had to hire her. We were already pretty set on hiring her because of her photography and what we had seen on her website and Instagram, but she was so helpful and fun from the very first meeting that we booked her immediately! The engagement session was very laid back but professional and we actually had fun in front of the camera, which we weren’t expecting. Then the wedding day came, and I can honestly say that having Rachel and Sam there was one of the best parts of the day. They were helpful and kind and the photos are AMAZING and I didn’t know I could look that good!

  We are in love with the pictures!!

  Rachel and her team took our wedding and engagement photos and I’m so glad we hired her! She is worth every penny and over delivers what she promises. Our photos are straight out of a fairy tale and even though we had a smaller wedding budget, Rachel made the wedding look high end and even got some of the photos published in a wedding magazine! That is real skill! On top of that she is really fun and very thoughtful and our whole family loved her- we are customers for life!

  Positive and Professional

  My fiancé and I are from Southeast Asia and doing a “pre-wedding” photo session is traditionally very important for us and our families. We understand that “pre-wedding” photoshoot where couples dress up in wedding-like attires before the wedding might not be very common or well known in the states so we were a bit nervous to find the right photographer for it, but once we reached out and talked with Rachel she listens to our visions/ideas and totally nailed the photoshoot as we envisioned. Rachel is the sweetest person to work with and always boosting our confidence during the photoshoot. We were so happy that she got our photos back in such a short amount of time with such high quality! We will definitely recommend Rachel to our friends, families, and others to use her photography services!

  Rachel did a fantastic job!

  We booked our engagement photoshoot with Rachel. She was so friendly and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable and allowed us to have fun in the process. We absolutely love the way our pictures turned out, we would definitely hire her again for future events. Thanks again, Rachel!
