Engagement photos and wedding photographer

I honestly do not think we could have picked a better photographer. We worked with Sara, one of Rachael's photographers, and she literally made everything so easy. We were both very nervous about how to act while being photographed (as most people are). She was genuine and friendly. She made it easy to be ourselves. Because of that, we had fun and it made for the most beautiful engagement photos, and then wedding photos. I would definitely recommend her and anyone in Rachael's team. It was a pleasure to work with them!

Amazing Photographer

Rachael was fantastic. She was great to work with in creating a list of shots and even better on the day of the wedding. She took care of everything and made the day stress free! She gathered everyone and made our day so relaxing. The bonus when we received the gallery was there ALL the pictures. There were so many pictures to look through and all the wedding attendees loved to see the mass amount of pictures. The pictures came out beautiful and everything plus more was captured. We could not have asked for more from Rachael. Thank you!

Our saving grace during the pandemic

If you’re in need of a photographer for an engagement session and/or wedding, Rachael is an easy choice! She’s thoughtful, easy to work with, and beyond talented! We worked with her for both sessions in 2019-2020. We were supposed to have a May 2020 Chicago wedding and when the pandemic hit and threw all our plans out of sorts, Rachael was understanding and partnered with us to change our wedding date (multiple times), our contracted package, and location. Obviously that was a special circumstance given the times, but she was our saving grace to work with when so many other vendors were not. We proudly display our wedding photos in our home and on social media. She captured our love for one another in a variety of different poses and scenes. We had to downsize our wedding from 200 to just 35 people, and it means the world to us that our family and friends who couldn’t be there are able to see the love in the form of such gifted photography. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Rachael! ❤️

Rachael does a beautiful job - we are always excited when a bride tells us she has booked Rachael because we know we will receive some beautiful photos!!

I Do Events I Do Events Wedding Decor & Lighting

One of the often forgotten, but oh so important business relationships in this industry is between photographers and the event décor & rental companies. We may be in the business of transforming a space, but the only way to capture the true beauty of an event/wedding is through the photographs. Plus; we hardly ever get to enjoy the full glory of our hard work or see the couples enjoy themselves. This is why we highly value photographers such as Rachel, because we rely on her keen eye for detail to see just how every design element came together to match the couple's vision. We also treasure the opportunity to be able to see wonderful pictures of each couple in their happiest moments!
