Rachel is amazing to work with. She is SO personable and really is an amazing photographer. She really makes sure that she understands your vision and wants you to feel comfortable and confident on your wedding day. While we were in the process of booking her, we loved that all the reviews said she made people behind the camera feel comfortable and that is really what she delivered. A lot of family and friends commented on how she was so great! She is accommodating and helpful. We’ve gotten a little sneak peek at our wedding pictures and we are in love with them!!!

So in conclusion: HIRE RACHEL FOR YOUR WEDDING!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!!!

Rachel was amazing! She took my wedding photos and I couldn't be happier! She is very attentive to my needs, laid back, super friendly, and great at what she does. I've never felt more comfortable with a photographer in my life I used to model. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer, for any occasion. She's fast and makes sure you are taken care of and you get what it is that you are paying for x10.

Rachel is very personable and flexible -- she easily prioritized what I wanted to be prioritized, and if something needed to be changed during the day, she quickly switched gears. Ideally, this would be a given with photographers, but reading a lot of reviews before I chose Rachel lets me know that this is not the case. I didn’t give her a lot of direction and left her to her own devices -- if you get something from this review other than Rachel Abell is a very talented photographer and phenomenal person to work with, please let it be this: you need to be able to trust your photographer. Really. Putting my faith and trust in Rachel was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. I was impressed with how Rachel scouted out the property and found places that she knew would make good photos, even if they didn’t look “amazing” to me. Rachel is really good at keeping it real -- “Trust me -- it’s going to feel silly to hold your flowers like this, but the picture will look great!” Truth! It does! Rachel listens and has discovered the questions to ask to elicit the information she needs. Her “Wedding 411” questionnaire is designed to make sure that the she and the wedding party are communicating as thoroughly and in-depthly as she knows is necessary. I’ll admit, the questionnaire seemed really daunting, especially when I tried to complete it only a few days before the wedding sorry, Rachel!. But it prompted me to alert Rachel not to photograph certain people together, among some other things. The questionnaire is so thorough that it made me think of the day from her point of view -- what did she need to know about the ceremony so that she could be at the right place at the right time? Now, I do have to admit, I have not had experience with other wedding photographers. It’s possible that they’re mostly a thoughtful, detailed bunch. But I have a feeling that Rachel TRULY stands out from even the cream of the crop. I may not have had previous experience with wedding photographers, but the owners of the location where I got married have hosted many weddings and Rachel’s style really stood out to them. They were impressed with how she stayed out of the way and captured the day -- beautifully! -- but never intrusively. We love, love, love our wedding photos. Rachel captured some precious, tender expressions between my husband and me, he and his children, and among other folks. We couldn’t have dreamed of better, more genuine photos of our wedding day and the people who love us.

Rachel was SUCH a pleasure to work with from day 1! She was incredibly responsive over e-mail during the planning process, so thoughtful and attentive the day of the wedding, and, above all, wonderoulsy supportive through words and actions. Rachel demonstrated great flexibilty in accommodating our somewhat odd request for certain hours to shoot the wedding. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
