Rachel and her team are the BEST

We loved working with Rachel on our wedding weekend. She made us feel at ease and joyful the entire time, and the photos are absolutely gorgeous.

Perfectly captured our wedding day and rehearsal dinner!

From the moment I first had contact with Rachel, I knew she would be perfect photographer for our Wedding. We had researched her work online and after seeing her Instagram and website pictures, we completely fell in love with her style of photography and ability to capture the beauty in a moment.

There were so many incredible and special moments that she managed to capture so perfectly, and so naturally, which is just what we were looking for.

Rachel photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. We lost count of all the guests who commented on how amazing she was. Rachel was able to direct the group photos without being intrusive or overbearing and throughout the day blended in to the scene perfectly. She used every lighting opportunity she could find to capture a range of photos, and was constantly on the look out to use the scenery and grounds of the venue to the fullest. Rachel’s passion and enthusiasm shone all throughout and absolutely blew us away. I recommend her 100 times over! Thank you Rachel!

The Ninja of Wedding Photography and Perfect Images!

We had the best experience with Rachel. She not only captured incredible portrait and candid images from our ceremony and reception (beautiful light and airy photos that make everyone look good), but she also got the greatest shots from our welcome party and a day spent at the local farmers' market with our family and friends. She also spent time getting to know us as a couple, and the photos reflect that. Most importantly, Rachel is like a ninja of wedding photography! My biggest pet peeve at weddings, particularly ceremonies, is when the wedding photographer is blocking the view or otherwise distracting from the service. Rachel was exactly the opposite- you don't even see her, yet somehow she captures...

Working with Rachel was one of the highlights of our wedding planning process. We knew from the first meeting that she would be committed to giving us the best quality photos and that we would have fun working with her. I can't thank Rachel enough for the beautiful photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day. She is incredibly creative and talented, made us feel comfortable, and even have fun, during the shoots. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel; what can you say about a simply amazing photographer, she was so creative and comfortable to work with at times I had to remind myself that she wasn’t part of the family. From the time I put on my dress, till I was walking out the door she was there snapping photos; not just ones of me and my husband (although we did allot of those as well) but of the family and environment too. She captured on film all the small details that were anguished over for months; moments I missed because I was busy being the bride, I get to relive through her photos.

Simply put I couldn’t have asked for a more professional energetic creative person who loves what she does and it shines through in her work. I definitely see this being my go to girl for any portraits and future photo needs. Thank you Rachel for everything.

Rachel is extremely talented, down to Earth, easy to work with and goes above and beyond for her clients!

After "following" Rachel for many years prior to getting engaged and falling in love with her photos and talent, it was a no brainer when I got engaged to ask Rachel to be our wedding photographer. Rachel helped us find our wedding planner who was also amazing. Talent is one thing, but a wedding photographer's personality or ego can really make or break a situation regardless of how talented they are. Rachel was incredibly easy going and down to Earth.

My husband and I are kind of awkward behind the camera and Rachel never made us feel uncomfortable or forced things on us. Additionally, Rachel went out of her way to accommodate us throughout the pandemic and during our experience working with her - truly out of her way. She flew from CA to Chicago and even came to our house in the suburbs to take engagement photos, then post wedding she met me at my parents' house in CA to help me create my wedding album which was not necessary whatsoever and an incredibly daunting task. She has absolutely no ego and fit right in. I consider her a friend now and would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I am sad that I no longer get to work with her after two years of delays due to COVID. She is simply the best!

Rachel Havel's -Associate Laura

Rachel was already booked for my wedding date so we had one of her associates, Laura. I don't like being the center of attention and Laura made me feel at ease during my wedding day. Not only did she make me feel comfortable and not awkward during my wedding day photos. Her photos were absolutely amazing! She got every photo I wanted and they were beautiful!

Thank you Rachel!

Picking a photographer was the hardest part of our wedding planning process, there are sooo many out there and we knew the importance of picking one that was perfect for us. We did phone interviews with over 30 photographers over the course of 4 months. From the moment we first spoke to Rachel we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. Not only is she incredibly gifted behind the camera she has an amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable at the same time. My husband and I had two wedding ceremonies in one day. That meant two outfits, two sets of portraits, two sets of first looks - there were infinite opportunities for us to run...

That meant two outfits, two sets of portraits, two sets of first looks - there were infinite opportunities for us to run late or not get a shot we were hoping to get and Rachel made sure we got every single photo on our wish list and then some. She hadn’t photographed an Indian wedding prior to ours and she blew us away, but that’s how Rachel works. She is so incredibly intentional with every decision, every photograph, every edit, and even every email. Rachel also went out of her way and submitted our wedding to Martha Stewart and ended up getting us published on their website which was way beyond our wildest dreams. Hiring Rachel was truly the single best decision we made on our wedding day. She is so patient and understanding and we are forever grateful to her for not only a part of the best day of our lives, but playing such a large role in ensuring it went perfectly. We just received our wedding album and in true Rachel fashion it blew us away. We cannot wait to have the opportunity to work with her again.

Rachel's images speak for themselves, STUNNING! How did we looks so good in every photo and how did she get SO many details in one day?! I'm still in awe! On top of her being a true talent, she is incredibly kind and fun to work with. She made my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera. Rachel, thank you for capturing THE best day of our lives, theses photos will be treasured for many generations.

Fantastic and Professional

I could not speak more highly of Rachel. Her talent is undeniable - just look at her portfolio! What you can't tell from looking at the photos is how truly WONDERFUL she is as a person. There is no one closer to you throughout every moment of your wedding than your photographer, and Rachel brings an amazing sense of calm and positivity that is invaluable. I felt totally at ease all day and I attribute much of that to Rachel! She does an incredible job capturing the moments-in-between, the candid and emotional memories that we feel so lucky to cherish forever through her photos.

I really felt like our personalities shown through in the photos and that is thanks to Rachel. On top of it all, she is incredibly professional, responsive and easy to work with - a dream! Just need another excuse to work together!

They directed our very large families and bridal party with ease and patience which really helped everyone to feel comfortable and just enjoy our day.

Rachel also photographed our rehearsal dinner & welcome party, which was her idea because we didn’t want to do formal engagement photos. It was a great way to get some early couple pics before we sat down for dinner (instead of engagement photos), and it helped us and our guests to get to know Rachel before the wedding day. Even after our wedding, we received many compliments from our guests about Rachel and how awesome she was! I would 100% recommend her for any occasion – she has true talent and we were so lucky to have her as our wedding photographer!

Most thoughtful, calming photographer!

We absolutely lucked out when Rachel had our wedding date available, and looking back, I'd probably arrange my wedding date around her availability-she is THAT good! She is so kind, caring, and thoughtful with an incredibly calming presence! It feels like she's part of your family. From day one, Rachel makes you a priority, and as crazy as the day can get, she will calm you down, make sure you stay focused on what's important and what matters throughout the day, and she makes sure you and your partner capture as many intimate moments together as you can.

Best Photographer

Rachel captured our wedding perfectly! She was so professional leading up to the wedding and we listened to her advice and did an engagement shoot first. She was 100% right and we both felt so much more comfortable doing the day of photos after having met her and gone through the engagement shoot first. She was not only great with capturing our moments, but captured our venue, decor, and guests so beautifully. She has an incredible eye and is able to do it all with such a calm demeanor. I couldn't imagine a better photographer, and am so happy with all of our photos.

The candid photos she captured of us are some of my favorites and I will treasure them forever. We are so lucky and so honored to have had Rachel as our photographer for our wedding day.

Rachel Havel Wedding Photography

Rachel is an amazing photographer and I would highly recommend hiring her as a wedding photographer! She was responsive, professional and helpful both before and during the wedding. She was also very calm and laid back, which made the experience easy, stress free and enjoyable. My husband and I are so happy with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Cannot recommend her enough!

Rachel is such an incredible photographer. She is easy to work with on the pre-planning details, is so great to be around on the wedding day (my husband and I aren't the most comfortable around cameras) and delivered beautiful photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Amazing! Couldn't recommend more.

Rachel was so inviting and warm which made it really easy for my husband to get out of his shell! She also was friendly yet commanding with my huge family which eliminated so much "idling time" which got us to the dinner much faster. Loved her as my wedding photographer and have been recommending her to all my engaged friends! She's also incredibly nice, fun and cool so that's an added plus :)

There are not enough words to describe how happy we are we chose Rachel as our photographer. She is so responsive to emails and questions, provides guidance on other areas of your wedding if you ask as well, and makes you feel so at ease and comfortable knowing she will capture all the best moments of your day. Not only all of these things, but Rachel's photos are also so amazing and beautiful and capture such special moments as bride and groom; we have received a few teaser photos so far and I know the rest of them will be just as amazing.

We picked Rachel after seeing the photos from another wedding we attended and are so happy we did! Now, we have beautiful photos to remember this special day and to share with our family and having those are truly priceless because the day goes by so quickly that memory isn't enough. One of her best talents is making you feel at ease when she is taking photos; she knows just how to tell you to pose and she tells you if your hand looks weird or hair is out of place, so you know she is really thinking about the whole photo and making sure you are happy with the way it turns out. It can also be awkward sometimes to have someone taking so many photos, but we felt none of that with Rachel and just felt as though we were spending special time together while also having those moments captured.

We had Rachel do our engagement photographs as well as our wedding, and we can't think of a single thing we would have had her do differently! We can tell she takes great pride in her work, since she only accepts as much work as she can handle to do the amazing job she does every time. With our wedding, she captured some really amazing moments from angles and distances that simply made the result spectacular. She has an eye for what will turn out beautiful, and her post-processing of the photos gives them an elegant, heavenly feel. Rachel knows what...

She helped us plan out the timing of things like the first look, and thought of details that we wouldn't have thought of without her. During the portraits after the ceremony, we had a couple of flower girls who were ready for their nap, but Rachel was so good with them and did silly things to get them to look up and smile. We are 100% satisfied with Rachel. She is so professional, courteous, considerate, cooperative, and she works hard to listen to her customers and deliver exactly what they want, even if it is not what she is used to. Her flexibility and attention to detail is what makes Rachel stand out from the rest. We absolutely love her and would recommend her to any couple who wants the best photos from the most important day in their lives.

From the start, Rachel was great to work with - very personable and easy going! Not to mention, so smooth in her surprise to tell me, along with my bridesmaids and owners of Emma and Grace Bridal, I had been the winner of a GIFT OF A LIFETIME. The day we were scheduled to shoot our engagement photos, it poured and poured! Rachel reached out to me first thing and assured me everything was going to be ok - we could reschedule, which made me feel way less stressed. When planning a wedding, you know how precious everyone’s time is and you would hate to take that for granted. The shoot was just a breeze and she makes it so effortless. Working with Rachel was great! And now with all of the photos in front of me, I am so thankful we were given the experience to capture all of those moments!! Memories that will last a lifetime!

Rachel is a true professional and methodically and naturally gets to know her clients to assist her in photographing them. Our initial conversation was over Skype since we were in New York and she was in Colorado and it was like we were talking to an old friend! And up until our wedding day she had us complete a couple of questionnaires (that are fun to fill out!) I thought this was such a great detailed touch and got me so excited for our wedding day.

On the day of our wedding, she was so great getting our family and guests together to pose for photos and was so nice and natural with everyone. She gave me, a horribly non-photogenic person, great cues throughout her shooting to get me more comfortable and natural. Rachel also took so many beautiful photos of the details from our wedding that I wasn't able to notice with all the mayhem. Finally, she captured so many great moments from our family and guests - the looks on their faces and their emotions were so raw and natural and I am so grateful that she was there to photograph them!

Her photos were ready within 3 weeks after the wedding which was so incredibly fast. Her picture viewing site is also very convenient to browse through and well organized.

I am so so happy that she was our wedding photographer and thought she captured one of the most important days of my life perfectly! I'm so glad I get to have these photos forever. I've been looking through them over and over again for days ever since I got them from her!
