Maine & New England wedding photographer Documentary Film & Digital

From the moment we started planning our wedding, my wife and I knew we wanted Rachel to capture our big day. In addition to blessing us with her incredible artistic vision and ability, Rachel was instrumental in alleviating wedding day stress with her calm demeanor, and thoughtful reassurance. The results have been absolutely stunning; each time we revisit, we find new favorites that evoke the love and magic surrounding us, transporting us right back to the happiest day of our lives—tears and all. Rachel’s careful attention to detail, and thoughtful cultivation of each image has been a testament to her incredible gift. We are forever grateful to her!

Choosing Rachel for our wedding photography was truly one of the best decisions we made. When we first started planning, we were honestly overwhelmed, there were so many choices, so many directions to go in, and the decision fatigue set in fast. When we reached out to Rachel and had our initial call, we instantly felt a sense of calm. We just knew she was the perfect person for us. Rachel’s kindness, talent, and warm, grounding presence made us feel like we had another close friend by our side throughout the entire process. She brought such an ease and joy to every interaction, and her energy blended so seamlessly with our friends and family that it truly felt like she was part of the celebration, not just photographing it. Over the course of the year of planning, she was so communicative, thoughtful, and supportive. Beyond her warmth, Rachel is incredibly skilled. You can feel her experience and

(part 2) artistry in the way she guides, communicates, and captures moments without ever making anything feel posed or forced. She knows how to read a room, and how to beautifully capture even the smallest, quietest moments. On the wedding day, Rachel and her daughter Julia were both there, and their dynamic together made everything feel even more natural and seamless. They worked so beautifully as a team, which created such a relaxed and positive atmosphere for us. And as if that weren’t enough, Julia created the most beautiful video for us that instantly transports us back to our wedding day. It was such a meaningful addition, and we will cherish it just as much as our photos. Rachel and Julia didn’t just capture our day, they elevated it and made it even more special. We are endlessly grateful for them both and will cherish their work, and the experience of working with them, forever.

If I could rate Rachel 10 stars I would, but alas I have only 5 to work with. Rachel perfectly captured that magical-golden-hour champagne-bubbly feeling of our wedding. I was blown away by the sneak peek album we got, and the rest of our images were just pure magic! Also, Rachel was just fantastic to work with -- her communication was always efficient and organized, running everything smoothly and on time. She was exuberant but not overwhelming, and was great at reading our energy when we needed to take a breather. She wrangled our guests for portraits so effectively I was impressed. She was always on top of everything -- from the lead up to the wedding to the day itself.

We were just so lucky to have had you be such an important part of our life! Your gorgeous images bring back every one of the beautiful moments. You immediately helped us feel so relaxed with being photographed and you were completely up for all the adventure that filled our wedding day. We really loved your spontaneity coupled with professionalism and so much warmth! You instantly became a part of our family and we will treasure our images, always.

Rachel's delivered photos far exceeded our expectations, but what most impressed us was how much her experience shined on our wedding day; she stayed cool, calm, and collected while being communicative and committed to making the best creative choices. Rachel was adaptable and always there to deliver whenever we navigated challenges, such as everything that came with the pandemic, date changes, weather, or any of the other surprises. She kept us calm and focused on what was important. She coordinated seamlessly with our planner and other team members and helped remove stress. We truly didn't know what we would do without her! We are so grateful to have been able to work with her and to have her help save the day!

We just received our full wedding album, and we are speechless! Rachel captured our day so perfectly and beautifully. Rachel is beyond talented. Each picture she captured expresses raw emotions from that day. Her work is a piece of art! She also truly got to know us. She is so kind and genuinely cares about the couples she works with- which was important to us! She truly took the time to get to know us! We absolutely love Rachel’s energy! Her work is beyond beautiful! She took so much time to work with us. We appreciate every call and the e-mails going back and forth/ even meeting us at the venue! We will forever cherish these photos and having Rachel be a part of our lives.

Rachel demonstrated unbelievable professionalism, peerless creativity, and joyful candor. She is an absolute joy! Rachel makes it easy and fun which allows her to then capture the true essence of the people she photographs.

Rachel took my senior photos and it was such a great experience (especially for how comfortable she made me feel as someone who doesn’t love having her picture taken!) that I knew I just had to have her photograph our wedding! Despite pandemic scheduling snafus, we were able to do our engagement shoot. While being entirely fogged in on the beach... Rachel rolled with the complications and turned our shoot into something amazing and magical! She captured our wedding day wonderfully as well, and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone. She is amazing to work with and so incredibly talented!

Rachel was absolutely amazing! She took the time to get to know us, and used that to capture our day in a way that felt true to us. She was great to communicate with before, during and after our wedding, and we are so happy with how our photos turned out.

Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with. She went above-and-beyond expectations to help coordinate my desired wedding photos. She was so flexible and easy to work with, I could not have asked for a better experience.
