Friendly, flexible and fabulous photographer!

Rachel was a delight to have as our wedding photographer for the day! She was super flexible when we changed the plans as to when we'd have her arrive for the day. She was friendly and willing, and effortlessly captured the big and small moments of our day. Also, Rachel was a total pro at ticking off all the group photo arrangements we had requested in a small space of time! Our photos are truly beautiful and capture the fun, relaxed essence of the day.

A Truly Gifted Photographer!

Rachel is a truly gifted photographer. She has a thoughtful, artistic and unobtrusive style and managed to capture our day perfectly. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and we really enjoyed working with her. We are absolutely delighted with our photographs, both the large and single prints which we have framed and mounted and the beautiful wedding album. We highly recommend Rachel
