    Perfection!

    The quality of Rachel's work speaks for itself through her portfolio, and we could not have asked for a more talented and dedicated photographer and hype woman for our engagement shoot and wedding day! Rachel's warm and effervescent spirit put us at ease and helped us feel confident in showing our personalities and chemistry in front of the camera, ensuring we looked our best on one of the happiest days of our lives. We love her candid, photojournalistic style, and the collections she put together for us tell our love story in a way that words wouldn't be able to. We would work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that specializes in capturing authentic and genuine moments and feelings.

    The best ever

    I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am with my decision to have Rachel shoot our wedding. She is the kindest, most creative and fun person you will ever meet! She brought the confidence and energy yet also the calm to us on our big day. She’s so incredibly detailed and creative with all her shots and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Everyone at our wedding raved about how amazing she was and we cannot recommend her enough!!!

    I wish I could give 10 stars on everything!!!! Rachel was out of this world!!!! She was so HELPFUL, so WELCOMING, and FRIENDLY. She handles stressful situations very well and is very patient with people. She is so PROFESSIONAL and her work is AMAZING!!! Rachel is worth EVERY DIME!!!! I cannot express enough how grateful we are for her, her time, and her talents. Honestly, she feels like a friend to us. We are grateful for the whole experience from beginning to end. Rachel also put together an extensive schedule for the of our wedding for the photography, which as a bride planning her wedding on her own helped big time with coming up with a schedule and timeline for the day as well! Rachel captured every moment we asked her too, nothing was forgotten. Rachel also did our engagement photos, and she did such a great job making us feel comfortable behind the camera :). We are extremely satisfied. Honestly, I know Rachel specializes in weddings, enlopements, and engagements but I wish she also did other photo shoots as well because we would DEFINITELY use her!!! For family photos, Christmas photos, etc. that’s how much we loved her! We would use for our everything photographer, for our every need as our family grows. But either way, we will always refer people to Rachel and happily and proudly brag about her services :) she deserves it and it’s only true, so how could we not!

    Rachel was the perfect photographer! She captured the hidden moments of our wedding day that mean the world to me now. Rachel is so natural at making her clients feel like life long friends. I loved her intention, her thoughtfulness and the way she made us feel on our big day! I seriously couldn't imagine my wedding being photographed by anyone else!

    Rachel gave my fiancé and me everything we wanted out of an engagement shoot. She is the perfect mix of creative and unique, yet classic and timeless. She made sure to capture authentic photos that were candid and not overly-posed. I was very picky in choosing a photographer that delivered high quality images and she did just that in a timely manner. We had so much fun with our shoot and we are thrilled with the outcome!

    Rachel was AMAZING!!! My Fiance and I were a bit nervous of having pictures taken of us, but within minutes she made us feel perfectly comfortable. In between walks to different locations she took the time to get to know us and during shoots she truly captured the love my fiance and I have for each other...Her pictures captured the emotions we want to save for a lifetime. Her photography style is timeless and classic, full of emotion, and truly unique and creative. I am beyond blessed to have had her take our engagement pictures that we will cherish forever.

    We are so happy we picked Rachel to be our wedding photographer! Not only does she do incredible work, she is very friendly, fun and personable. The photos she took along with her assistant were amazing and beyond our expectations. She was very quick to send us our wedding photo gallery, and spent a lot of time helping design our wedding album afterward. I highly recommend Rachel as your wedding photographer, she's the best!!

    Rachel is the best! She was the only vendor that I was 100% certain I wanted to hire just from looking at her website. I also met her in person before the wedding, and she is so friendly and kind-hearted! When people hire a photographer, they normally only think about the photographer's style and quality, but remember that you are going to spend 8+ hours with this person following you around EVERYWHERE. Rachel is the kind of person you could hang out with all day-- she was so comfortable to be around and very flexible when little details changed last minute. And about the important part: her photos are AMAZING! She is very experienced with wedding photos and captures your day beautifully. I got married 5 months ago so I've had the photos for a while now, but every time I go back and scroll through them, I fall in love all over again. I highly recommend hiring Rachel for your wedding!

    Oh Lauren, what a sweet surprise for a review!! Your words seriously touched my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your day. I loved every minute!!

    I just recently got married and hired Rachel as our photographer. Not only was she extremely sweet and friendly, she did an amazing job in capturing moments of our wedding that I didn't get to experience first hand. All the photos she took were gorgeous, and it was so wonderful to look back on all the memories she captured that day.

    Rachel Wakefield | Wedding Photographer's reply:

    Thank you sweet Stacie! It was such a joy being with you guys on your big day. It was nothing short of intimate and perfect.

    Rachel is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing person! We hired Rachel to join us for our destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I saw some of Rachel's work and immediately fell in love. She is so talented, and created a beautiful story through her photography. I highly recommend her! If I could give her a hundred stars I would!!! :)

    Rachel Wakefield | Wedding Photographer's reply:

    Kelsey, thank you so much for reviewing me! I just fell in love with you two and your families. I had an incredible time telling your love story. Thank you for trusting me with your first day as husband and wife. I'm so thankful for you both!

    Rachel and her assistant Elena did a phenomenal job on our wedding photos. I can't even describe how many family members and friends who have mentioned how beautiful our photos are. Rachel is so kind-hearted, fun, and not to mention a very talented photographer! I have close to a 1000 perfect snapchats from our wedding day and I can tell each one was deliberately thought out and then later edited to become flawless. It was my pleasure working with these two ladies, and I would recommend Rachel Wakefield Photography to anyone and everyone!

    Rachel Wakefield was a phenomenal choice for our engagement and wedding photography. From the beginning, she approached us with a friendly and personable attitude we had hoped to find in a photographer for this momentous occasion in our lives. Rachel did not only take excellent pictures, she actually took the time and necessary attentiveness to get to know us prior to the shoot to capture who we are as a couple. By getting to know us, she expertly guided our sessions to include shots we desired as well as combining her skill to capture moments we will forever cherish. Needless to say, our wedding and engagement will forever be immortalized thanks to her!

    I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel & her photography. She traveled out to our wedding late into her pregnancy, & made our dreams come true for low-key, unique wedding photos that displayed our personalities, as well as those of our loved ones. We had a blast with Rachel & are still having a tough time figuring out which pictures to print, as they are so fabulous! Rachel captured everything we wanted our wedding to be: free-spirited, lovely, celebratory, simple, & full of life.

    Rachel Wakefield Photography (RWP) is an incredibly creative and detail oriented photographer located in Omaha, Nebraska. It is owned and operated by Rachel Wakefield, a sincerely kind and upbeat person with the phenomenal talent to go along with her impeccable skills as a wedding photographer.

    I hired RWP to shoot my wedding only two short weeks after becoming engaged. With a short engagement, I knew I needed to make a decision quickly. I also knew that I needed to find someone with the same vision of my wedding day as I did; I found that in Rachel. After just one meeting she and I were on the same page and my worry was put to ease. This was a photographer I could trust to capture the essence of the greatest day of my life.

    I would undoubtedly refer my friends, family, acquaintances, and those I meet, to consider letting Rachel use her God given gift to give you photographs that will last a lifetime.

    My husband and I could not be more happy with our engagement and wedding photos! Rachel did a wonderful job and was so great to work with. She displayed professionalism while providing us with a fun and exciting experience. Her fun personality made taking photos carefree and relaxing. She took the photos we wanted taken and listened to all of our ideas and made them her own. Her photos were all so original with great lighting. She took any sort of scenery and turned it into something amazing! I have recommended her to many of my friends and family and they have all been delighted with her! RWP will be the only photographer we will be going to for the rest of our years!
