    Amazing Photographer!

    We are so glad that we decided to go with Rachel for our wedding weekend! We had previously reached out to several photographers, but none were as pleasant and low stress as Rachel. Not only were her photos absolutely amazing, she was very easy to work with and listened to our input. She did a beautiful job capturing both families' traditions in a Hindu and Christian wedding. She and her team of photographers were unobtrusive during the wedding but managed to capture elements from every important moment. She also took photos of our sangeet the evening before the wedding.

    After the wedding, we reached out to Rachel to design wedding albums for our parents and ourselves, and we could not be happier with the beautiful results. They made excellent Christmas gifts for our families!

    All in all, Rachel was an outstanding photographer and we are so glad we got a chance to work with her. We would gladly recommend her to any couple for their special day!

    Such a dream working with you two! Loved seeing your family's traditions come together for such an incredible weekend!

    Highly professional and a joy to be around!

    Let me preface this first. We don’t like taking photos. But Rachel made it fun and enjoyable for our engagement session and on our wedding day. She has a good eye and helped the photograph session move efficiently. Even with family involved!

    For our Engagement session, she helped us pick spots that felt like us and weren’t necessarily your typical locations. For example, we took pictures in one of our favorite cocktail spots, and though not the easiest spot with other people there, she made it work and the photos looked fabulous!

    As for the wedding, we had a number of incredible areas we could have photographed at Houdini Estate but Rachel nailed it with the locations understanding the light and look we were going for. Again, keeping it moving and understanding our priority was the spend the most time with our guests :).

    The cherry on top was the added thoughtfulness of sending us a framed wedding photo after our big day. She went out of her way to go the extra mile and this was a very special treat. We would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you, Rachel!

    Rachel Stelter Photography's reply:

    Such a joy working with you! Thanks again for everything and what a gorgeous, memorable day it was!

    Rachel perfectly captured our day!

    We were so lucky to have Rachel photograph our wedding! We knew she was amazing because she came highly recommended by a friend of ours whose wedding she shot beautifully, but we didn't even know the half of it! When we did our engagement photos, Rachel was so sweet and put us immediately at ease. We aren't used to be in front of the camera and were worried about being stiff but she made us so comfortable and captured the essence of our relationship perfectly. All of the communication leading up to the day was seamless and super helpful. On the day itself, Rachel and her team were so lovely. We didn't feel rushed and got everything we were hoping to get and more. During the wedding and reception, we barely noticed Rachel and her team but they got the best moments of our day and great candid, organic shots. We just got our photos delivered, much earlier than we were expecting, and once again, we were blown away. Photography was one of the 3 elements most important to myself and my husband, and we couldn't be happier with the decision to hire Rachel and the photos that we have of our best day!

    Rachel Stelter Photography's reply:

    LOVED working with you and Anthony! Grateful to be able to capture your wedding day! So glad I was able to get everything you wanted and more

    Rachel is awesome! We’re so happy that we chose to work with her for our engagement and wedding photos!! Rachel is professional, she takes time to explain everything, and she made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. She understood our silly side and we had the best time taking our photos. She knows which moments are important and she made sure to find out which shots were most important to us during our wedding. We will cherish the special moments that Rachel captured of us and our guests forever!

    I also want to give a shout out to Rachel’s husband Karl – Karl Stelter Videography – our videographer. Rachel & Karl make a great team, they’re so much fun, and the quality of their work is incredible!! If you want amazing photos & video, you can’t go wrong with the Stelter’s!!

    Rachel Stelter Photography's reply:

    So glad you had a wonderful experience working together! So enjoyed capturing your day!

    We love Rachel!! Working with her was a delight, from the day we met (through her Instagram giveaway, no less!) to shooting our engagement photos at UCLA, to the countless emails and meetings leading up to our wedding, to receiving our wedding photos even earlier than promised. We are over the moon. My husband and I are both into photography and knew from day 1 how important our wedding photos were to us, and Rachel definitely delivered. Planning a wedding on our own was very stressful, and Rachel was without a doubt the easiest vendor to work with. She was incredibly professional, continuously checked in asking all the right questions, and really got to know us in order to best capture such a special day for us. We included numerous special elements into our wedding ceremony and reception. Rachel asked about these ahead of time and made sure to spend a little extra time shooting the details she knew were the most sentimental and important to us. We both have large, blended families, and Rachel took charge of family photos (an arduous task with so many people involved!) and made sure we stayed on schedule. She even stayed later than contracted at in order to shoot our reception send off. Portraits and crisp detail shots are definitely her strong suit, those are among our favorites from everything we received from her. The interface she uses to communicate, collect payments, and deliver photos is extremely user friendly and convenient, an added bonus to the entire experience! We can't thank you enough, Rachel for all you contributed to our wedding day!

    Thank you sooo much for the incredibly kind words! Had SO much fun working with you!

    Excellent Photographer! From communication to production! Rachel provided a very fast response, arrived on time to the meeting, very reliable, and professional! Rachel really loves what she does! Her work is beautiful not to mention her prices are reasonable and affordable! She captured everything so beautiful at my bridal shower and the mini photoshoot. Her creativity and photography skills are impressive, I can’t believe how beautiful the pictures turned out!! We had a lot of fun working with her!! I’m happy I chose to work with Rachel and would defiantly love to have her cover future events ??

    I was lucky to be introduced to Rachel from a mutual friend to shoot our engagement and wedding day. Rachel is very professional and sat down with me before each event. We went over how the day will go and what to expect. This eased my nerves and prepared me for all to come. Rachel is super fun to work with and listened to our request. Our photo's came out amazing. I appreciate her hard work the day of, keeping us on track but also getting in great organic shots. All of our family and friends LOVED our photos. will definitely be reaching out to Rachel for future events

    Had such a great time working with you as well! Hope to work together again in the future too!

    Rachel’s attention to detail is what initially drew me to her pictures. As we got to know each other more, you could tell that she takes her job seriously. She knows these pictures will last forever and she doesn’t take it lightly. She took the time to get to know my husband and I and wanted to make sure that all the moments that we were looking forward to in our wedding were captured. Her pictures are the most beautiful stills of life. She makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease; like a friend you’ve known forever. I couldn’t have been happier with all her work from our engagement and wedding.

    Thank you Kristie! Was an absolute pleasure working with you and Sergio. Enjoy the memories for years to come!

    Rachel made beautiful images of our wedding day, which we'll treasure for years to come - that's the main thing. In addition, she was always pleasant and professional, punctual, communicative, and made her way seemingly effortlessly through the crowd of our guests. We're so happy to have had her as our wedding photographer, and highly recommend her.

    Thank you for the kind words Matt, a pleasure capturing your day!

    The biggest difference maker when hiring a photographer for such a huge life event wasn't the photography itself, but the ability to feel comfortable with the person behind the camera. My wife and I are not the most comfortable as the subjects in front of a camera, so finding someone who was nice to be around and who could help us feel more at ease was incredibly important. After meeting with Rachel to discuss the details of our wedding, we knew she was the one. She was so nice and so warm, and most importantly, genuine. Now that the wedding has come and gone, we are so grateful that our parents convinced us to hire a photographer for the event. We have so many beautiful photos now to remember the day and all the lovely people we were surrounded by. Rachel is a great choice for your next event because not only does she take amazing photos, but she is such a kind and genuine person. She is incredibly professional, communicates every step that needs to be taken clearly, and is very supportive. You really can't go wrong with her.

    Rachel is an amazing photographer! Not only were our engagement and wedding photos beautiful, but her calm presence made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was truly a joy to work with, and the photos she gave us were even better than I could have imagined. I would recommend her to anyone, for any kind of photoshoot!

    Well we scored!!!! Rachel was and is the Best!!!!
    Rachel was referred to us by a friend of ours, and she did not disappoint. She took our engagement photos at Union Station and wedding photos in Camarillo. The whole time Rachel made us feel at ease, was like a fairy in the background capturing all the magic. All the while, she was very professional, but still made us feel like old friends.
    When it came time to delivering our pictures she not only delivered them in time, but was early. We received them as a gift on Valentines Day! When the pictures were delivered we almost didn't recognize ourselves (in the best way!) My dad said We looked like magazine covers, or those people in the frames when you buy it at the store. I would like to think were naturally that great looking, but let's be real here.... it was Rachel's eye and finger snapping just the right pics. I also told Rachel I wanted our photos to look natural, not forced like so many peoples wedding photos do. She caught great moments like my husband carrying me over his shoulder across the grass, my grandpa dancing with me, my little brother dancing with me, and wonderful photos of people dancing and having fun. My maid of honor said while looking through the photos that you could feel the emotion in all the photos. She's right!
    If pictures are as important to you as they are to us, you will take the time to search Rachel out, and make her your photographer! With all the stress and things that don't go right at a wedding, We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to work with Rachel. She was and is a BOSS! So get on it, before she's unavailable!!!

    Working with Rachel was really one of the best parts of our wedding! She emphasizes capturing the small, sweet moments as they happen and the end result is a representation of those warm fuzzy feelings you have when you're wrapped in your loved one's arms or walking hand in hand on a new adventure. Her photos are natural, light, and airy. During wedding planning, Rachel was very communicative and provided tons of help and insight. On the day of, Rachel and her second shooter were the perfect blend of professional and fun; everyone raved about how awesome it was to work with them. Rachel also has a great knack for providing enough cues and guidance to make sure the shot looks good without giving so much direction that anything feels forced. The joy you see in all of her work is the result of her subjects actually enjoying their experience! Thank you Rachel!

    Don't hesitate -- book Rachel for your wedding photos! My husband and I did, and it was the best decision that keeps paying off time and time again every time I look at them.

    I cannot get over how amazing the photos for my wedding turned out. She and Danielle were a great team on the day-of, and we got so many great photos. It made it incredibly hard to choose which ones were my favorites. (What a great problem to have, right?). My husband and I couldn't stop poring over them.

    It was such a wonderful day, and I really feel like the photos captured the spirit, happiness and emotion of the day. She captured all the details, all the heartfelt moments and I know I'll be treasuring these photos for the rest of my life. How amazing that I get to re-live my wedding day and feel that same joy over and over again through these photos?!

    If you're looking for a photographer and want the peace of mind knowing that you're in the hands of a true, talented professional, you should stop looking. You've found it right here.

    Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions I made when it comes to my wedding. She was friendly, professional, kind, and encouraging. I can be quite awkward and nervous in front of the camera and she made me feel at ease even on a stressful day such as my wedding day. She is great at communication, is very organized and always punctual. Her photographs were stunning. My guests also loved the photos she took of them! She bent over backwards to facilitate any specific requests I had. Thank you so much, Rachel, we couldn't be happier.

    Rachel did an amazing job for our wedding back in August! She helped me get organized and really made me and my now husband think about what we wanted from a photographer. She was efficient and helped keep everyone in line when we needed to take a lot of photos in a short amount of time. The final products are great, and we will always have them to remember our special day :)

    Rachel was absolutely lovely she instantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She gave us advice for the best time for good natural light. She brought ideas for the location, which she took the time to scout beforehand. She helped us with the most flattering poses, but allowed us to add our own style and was flexible. She made the experience so enjoyable with her gentle and patient personality.

    We were both delighted and surprised with how beautiful and professional the photos turned out. It must be her fashion background, but she really knows how to stage a photo to look natural and has an eye for aesthetics and design. We had all the photos with edits with a very quick return. She was very generous with her time and expertise. I am so glad we found her to capture this special moment in our lives together. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends.

    Rachel was wonderful and easy to work with for our wedding. As an older couple, our ideas were different than a younger couple, and she willingly accommodated our ideas, and gave great suggestions to consider.
    On the day of the wedding, she helped us stay calm, and everything seemed easy and smooth.
    Her husband, Karl, was our videographer, and together they captured everything we wanted.
