    A Wonderful Experience

    Rachel was wonderful to work with! She was the only professional vendor we booked and are so thrilled we did. Not only are the photos of our intimate elopement wedding in the Prince William Sound gorgeous, but she fit in seamlessly with our tiny 10-person wedding party. She was climbing ship stacks and into zodiacs in the rain without batting an eye. So happy we got to work with her!

    INCREDIBLE photographer, experience, and photos!

    Having Rachel as our photographer was absolutely phenomenal! From our very first phone call we could tell how invested she was in getting to know us as a couple and the story of our relationship, wanting to provide as personal of an experience as possible. It's so clear that Rachel cares deeply about making sure we had a relationship with her, that we were comfortable around one another and just having a blast throughout every session (engagement, wedding, AND day-after adventure!).

    We appreciate the balance she had between posing us as well as just capturing candid moments during our sessions, listening to what ideas we had for the photos but also using her own experience to guide the sessions overall and making sure every moment counted.

    We're so grateful for her flexibility in working with us when weather and day-of timeline didn't go perfectly (when does it ever?!), her communicativeness throughout our whole wedding season to make sure everyone was on the same page, and her genuineness that made us feel like friends rather than we were just working together. We would absolutely jump at the opportunity to work with her radiant self again in the future. =)

    Amazing wedding photographer!

    Rachel was by far the most amazing photographer I could have asked for. She was very professional, answered all my questions quickly prior to our wedding day and really took the time to get to know us aa a couple. On the day she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She was incredibly easy going and creative. We received our photos back very quickly and could not be happier!

    Wedding 09/19/20

    Working w Rachel was a dream, I couldn’t have image a more perfect photographer and person to spend the day with. She has such a great vibe and makes not only your day, but planning from the beginning at ease. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful when needed with recommendations. Rachel is amazing at capturing not only the picture perfect moments, but candid so beautifully. You definitely get more than you pay for. Through the wedding planning and after, she’s great w following up/process of pictures. Thank you again Rachel for making our day that much more special and giving us more than enough beautiful pictures to last us a life time.

    Amazing experience and fun personality.

    Rachel was amazing, super easy to work with. She took some beautiful photos of our wedding. She had a list of photo ideas and she made is really easy and quick to get everything we wanted. And during the wedding and reception she was able to take a ton of excellent pictures, while blending in with everything. I really enjoyed the experience 10/10 would use her again.

    So worth it!

    Rachel and her husband Ben were the perfect choice to trust with our wedding photos! They ran around with us in the rain ALL DAY and were nothing but excited for us, while capturing countless perfect photographs. Rachel was a breeze to work with ahead of time - just a text message away - and incredibly helpful for this not-so-girly girl! She helped me think about some things ahead of time that I never would have thought of, but were such sweet touches for my family and friends! If you’re considering booking Rachel for your photographer, do yourself the favor and go for it. You will not be disappointed!

    Rachel is amazing!

    Rachel is an absolute delight to work with. This summer for our wedding, she did a fantastic job. She immediately put me at ease and took a lot of beautiful candid shots, shots of the venue (outdoor), and posed shots. Not only does she take awesome photos, but she helped with the planning process, and having an open line of communication through the whole process. Her husband, Ben, did our wedding video which was perfect! Both of their personalities meshed with mine and my husband's well. You will be doing yourself a favor if you hire her!

    Laid back and beautiful

    Rachel and her husband were truly amazing. Not only did they do our engagement photos in Alaska but then they were completely on board to travel to Texas for our wedding. Rachel took extra care of little things the day of the wedding like helping us getting ready and run extra errands around between groomsmen and bridesmaids. She is wonderfully priced and does beautiful work. I have loved sharing and printing our photos with friends and family.

    Amazing Experience

    Rachel takes leadership of all sessions, she leaves no photo un-taken and is sure to fulfill every specification you have. She cares personally for her clients and ensures that they are fully satisfied with the end product. I was so beyond grateful to have her shoot my engagement and wedding photos- I felt able to relax as the bride and give her the reigns as she guided me and my wedding party each step of the way to get all the shots we discussed before-hand. She is wonderful and so is the work she does!!

    Highly Recommend

    Rachel was a pleasure to work with! We had an outside wedding in August...so of course it rained. Rachel was quick in capturing the perfect shots just before the clouds bursts. Once it started to rain, her creativity overflowed with ideas of how/where to get great pictures in the rain. She captured the entirety of the day, focusing on so many little details. I am IN LOVE with all of the pictures we got back...and would highly recommend Rachel to anyone! She rocked!

    Makes Your Photo Dreams Come True!

    I'm so glad we hired Rachel Lynn Photography for our day. She and her second shooter created exactly the whimsical, fairytale feeling we asked for in the photos! She is very considerate of you, as the bride and groom, value. I would suggest looking at wedding photos for specific shots you don't want missed and communicating them well (for example: I realized I took my veil off so fast after the ceremony that my groom and I don't have any photos one-on-one with my veil! I'm heartbroken by this. I wish I had told her I wanted this because she absolutely would have captured it so magically).

    It was wonderful getting to know Rachel! She was super flexible and we love supporting new up and coming photographers

    There were about 50-75 photos that we loved! She followed through on our vision and requests. Loved getting to know her!
