Rachael really went above and beyond what we could have expected or hoped for in a wedding photographer. We were definitely a bit nervous and clueless about the process, but she gave us a lot of tips that helped us consider things we may have neglected otherwise. She was always either just a call or email away leading up to the big day and it felt comforting to know we had someone accomplished working by our side. On the wedding day itself, she was expertly able to wrangle my loud and lovable! family for group photos, portraits, and everything we needed without adding any stress to our day. The actual photos were exactly what we were looking for; a combination of posed/romantic shots and then also a variety of more candid shots that really authentically captured us and our guests. I highly recommend her services!
I found Rachael on Yelp. I instantly connected to her photos - they were simple, beautiful, unpretentious and authentic. We booked her services to capture bridal and family photos on our wedding day. She was very friendly, made everybody feel very comfortable, and was so great with the two little ones in our group! Also, the hotel we were scheduled to do our shoot in fell through at the last minute but Rachael kept her poise and calm and adjusted to shooting outdoors at noon on a super bright and sunny day! Despite all of this, the photos turned out wonderful! Thank you, Rachael for capturing our special day! I wholeheartedly recommend Rachael Elana Photography!
As a photographer and as a human, Rachael is talented, hardworking, sweet, professional, efficient, and accommodating. She photographed our wedding in July 2022, and to say we were thrilled with her work is an understatement. Her photos of our wedding turned out so stunningly beautiful I actually cried when I saw them. Rachael got fabulous shots: of us, our families, our friends, our ceremony, our toasts, our decorations, our food...she was so thorough and knowledgeable, and we are so grateful. 11/10 would absolutely, positively, definitely recommend. Thank you, Rachael!
We have trusted Rachael with our family photos for the past 5 years- the ultimate compliment and proof that she is an extraordinary artist. Each time she has captured our family in photos that reflect who we really are. She is especially amazing at photographing children, always making them feel comfortable and the shoot is so fun that natural smiles are captured. I've recommended Rachael to friends and they too were blown away with her work. Once the photos were edited, Rachael has also been a great help with choosing prints that best fit our decor so the memories are everlasting in our home.
We are having a destination wedding in Colorado and were looking for a photographer that could fit our specific budget, could travel to our venue, and who had the classic/timeless photo-look that we wanted. We heard about Rachael through a recommendation and reached out. She was extremely responsive, asked us great questions to get to know us, and tailored a plan that fit each of our needs perfectly! She hasn’t forgotten a single thing we have said about our style/wishes and I think that’s very impressive. She’s very organized and great with communication. We had a somewhat last minute request for engagement photos while we happened to be taking a trip to Colorado, and she went above and beyond in picking and then scoping out the perfect location. She even helped me pick out a dress that would fit with the scenery. We got our engagement photos done 2 weekends ago and we had so much fun. I was positive I was going to feel awkward because I always feel awkward with pictures but we both ended up having a great time. Rachael made it so easy for us and gave clear directions. We have our pictures back already and they are so much better than I could have expected as I rarely like pictures of myself. We both look great in them! We will treasure these pictures forever and we are so thankful. Knowing that we have such a talented photographer for our wedding is such a relief and we are so excited for the next round of photos!
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and there is no one better to capture a special moment than Rachael. Rachael has taken numerous pictures of me and my dog throughout the years and recently photographed our wedding in Saugatuck Michigan. She is absolutely wonderful with children of all demeanors and has a magic ability to catch them at just the right moment. We cherish the photos from our wedding and relive the memories every day through her wonderful photographs. I absolutely could not recommend her more.
When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we came across Rachael through a personal recommendation from a friend who had gone to a wedding she had photographed. After looking through her photos, we were immediately drawn to how she manages to capture the true essence of both the people and the location in her images. Not only did they look great, but I could tell that the photos reflected the people Rachael was photographing, which was something that was really important to us when picking a wedding photographer – we wanted to be able to look back on our special day and have all our emotions captured in the pictures! Working with Rachael was amazing. In addition to being super talented, she is incredibly kind and also very organized, making her such a pleasure to work with. We were in a unique situation that we wanted our engagement photos done in the Boston area while our wedding was out of state. Rachael managed to not only suggest an amazing location for our engagement shoot, but she also found the most wonderful location for our wedding photos in a place she’d never been in. She was so thoughtful during the whole process, making sure permits, timing, and all the other little details were taken care of. She was also a great resource when it came to planning in general, making sure to coordinate with our wedding planner and giving incredibly helpful advice on outfit and accessory choices in terms of which sorts of things photograph better than others. Her attention and care to detail not only elevate her work, but also make it clear that getting the best photos possible is always her top priority. After the wedding, we were blown away by our photos! Rachael did a fantastic job and exceeded our expectations in every way. She also was incredibly flexible, working with us to have a large portion of the photos ready about a month after the wedding so I was able to show them to my relatives overseas who were unable to make it to the wedding. We are so grateful to Rachael for all her hard work. She captured our wedding beautifully, and we recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!
Rachael is so easy to work with. Taking photos is always stressful but she makes it fun and easy. I have worked with her twice now and cannot wait to do it again. Everyone in my photos look AMAZING and natural. Thank you so much Rachael!
Rachael did professional head shots for me! Which turned out to be phenomenal and also a really good outdoor activity to keep busy with during quarantine. She was thorough in her preparation, sharing tips in advance to make the most out of the photo shoot. During the session she took me to multiple outdoor spots at a beautiful park to make sure she got the perfect shot and she even through in a few pics of my new pup! If you want beautiful photos and an all around great experience contact Rachael!
Rachael is an incredibly gifted photographer with a keen eye for composition and a gorgeous color sense. She made me feel at ease with lots of laughs as she is extremely funny and sweet, making her subjects feel perfectly comfortable and natural in front of the camera. I highly recommend her services for families, weddings, babies, headshots, interior design and more. Whatever your need, Rachael’s versatility at capturing the perfect moment is always on point.
