Rachel will capture your most important moments in the most beautiful way
Rachel and her husband, Steven, joined us at our proposal, and they were an amazing couple and photo/video team. You can just tell Rachel is such a lovely soul, coolest person on the block vibes, not to mention an absolute ARTIST. The photos we received are—and will be—some of the most cherished photos we will ever have. It has been 7 months since then (sorry it took me so long to write this!), and my phone screen is still set to a photo she took of us. My fiancé and I are so excited to have Rachel join us for our wedding in a year as well. Cannot wait! 🥹🤍 -

Remarkable artist!
Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session.
We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with +750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more.
When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more.
I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day. -

Dreamy wedding photos!!!
Rachel was wonderful to work with as our wedding photographer. She was very professional and organized with helping establish timelines for the day of the wedding and made my husband and I feel comfortable behind the camera. She captured so many lovely moments from our wedding and the editing is very natural, bright, and timeless! We couldn’t be happier! -

Rachel was absolutely a 10/10 photographer for our Oct 2022 wedding. I had a specific style of photography I was seeking, and when I saw Rachel's previous work I fell involve. Blend that with her professionalism and easy-going personality and she was absolutely the best choice for us. We were both uneasy in front of the camera and Rachel made us feel comfortable, got us some amazing shots, and captured our big day as it occurred. I am so involve with her work and how the pictures turned out. Her and her second shooter (my husband gave glowing reviews) were such a fantastic addition. I would highlight recommend Rachel to anyone I know! -

Wonderful wedding photographer
We loved working with Rachel for our wedding photos. Rachel photographed my sister's wedding a few years ago, so we knew she would be great to work with for our wedding. We really appreciated that she took the time to scout our venue since she hadn't previously photographed a wedding there; she was prompt and prepared for our big day. Rachel and our second photographer Steven made everyone feel at ease. We felt no awkwardness taking our wedding photos and had absolute trust they would capture both the formal portraits we wanted and the special candid moments that are less predictable. We are thrilled with the preview we received and can't wait to see the rest of our photos! -

Danielle B. Sent on 12/18/2021Rachel is an incredible photographer and a joy to work with
Rachel and her entire team were such a joy to have at our wedding. We had a rustic, outdoor wedding in northern Maryland, and really just wanted an intimate lowkey day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect photography crew to have with us on that day. We've only seen our preview photos so far, but she really captured the joy of the day and seemed to intuitively understand the spirit and character of me and my husband. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. -

From the moment we contacted Rachel Stenger to collaboratively plan for our daughter’s big day, we knew that Rachel was the perfect choice! We liked Rachel so much that we hired her for 4 events: engagement party, engagement photo shoot, small intimate outdoor wedding at the Ivy Hotel and the larger outdoor wedding and reception at The Liriodendron Mansion. Rachel made the communication process very easy throughout the 6 month wedding planning period.
Rachel arrived ahead of schedule for every event and seamlessly delivered her professional services capturing all of the posed and requested candid items on the shot list before, during and after each event. Her attentiveness and amazing talent is clearly evident in the beautiful photos we will enjoy forever.
Rachel’s online gallery of photos and the website’s organization made it very easy to select photos for printing and creating our own wedding album. Rachel’s expertise and calm demeanor set such a positive tone for all of our events. Rachel worked tirelessly to capture our daughter’s vision perfectly showcasing each event exceeding all of our expectations.

Rachel’s work is incredible! I cannot stop looking through our wedding album! She & Maggie (her 2nd shooter & also incredible) captured every detail from start to finish. I was emotional all over again when looking through our wedding album because she really told the story of our day through photos. Rachel even walked our venue prior to make sure lighting was in place to get the best quality shots. She truly cares and takes pride in her work which shows in her photographs. Not to mention she is super sweet and easy to work with. I’m so excited and proud to show everyone our photos! Hire Rachel you will not be disappointed! -

More than I could have asked for
You can stop your search for a photographer here and just pick Rachel. You will not be disappointed. She is simply amazing! We adore the pictures from our engagement as well as wedding. Her eye for light is amazing and makes the pictures pop. And it doesn't hurt that she's easy to work with and super nice! I've already recommended her to multiple friends getting married. 12/10 would recommend and I plan to keep Rachel in mind for many other life events! -

We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you! -

If you are searching for a photographer who will make all of your wedding dreams come true, look NO further! Rachel was amazing from beginning to end. I came across her page on Wedding Wire and instantly fell in love with her photography. She has something special and unique that I didn’t see anywhere else! Immediately after I inquired about her services on Wedding Wire, we set up a phone call. During the call, Rachel was informative, knowledgeable, caring, genuine, and her prices were extremely reasonable especially for the quality of work you get back! I booked her as soon as I could! We set up an engagement shoot; my *now* husband and I were nervous to meet her as we are both a little awkward when we don’t know people, but Rachel and her team that day made us laugh, and we felt much more comfortable! Not long after, we received the pictures back and OH. MY. GOD. were they perfect! Her editing was seamless, and beautiful! We will forever cherish our engagement photos because of how wonderful they turned out! I even had a picture blown up on museum quality canvas to an almost larger than poster size for our home, we get SO many compliments on the photo itself! As soon as we received them back, we knew we picked the absolute best photographer around! Rachel went out of her way to bring a vintage couch, rug, and tons of other props into the woods to add to the theme that I was looking for- she completely and utterly NAILED it. Rachel was extremely responsive to emails, or texts when I was being a crazy person for months leading up to my wedding. I actually love following her photography page on Instagram because it was so exciting to see the work she was capable of, it added so much to our excitement! On my wedding day, Rachel showed up on time (or possibly early), and the best way I can describe what she did that day was seamlessly floated around, and gave clear instructions on what she was envisioning and how everyone could make it work! My wedding party loved her! There were many parts of the day where I wished Rachel could enjoy our wedding as a guest because she was that great! I don’t believe she knew our videographer; but you would have thought they were close friends from how amazing they worked together and fed off each other’s ideas. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel! I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for the perfect Wedding photographer! Our wedding was last weekend, and we are anxiously awaiting our pictures; but we already know they will be an absolute dream!
Thank you for everything Rachel! You made our day everything it was and more! -

I'm still amazed at how well every photo turned out!! I'm so glad we chose Rachel - she's now our go-to photographer if we ever need professional photos! -
