Perfection!

The quality of Rachel's work speaks for itself through her portfolio, and we could not have asked for a more talented and dedicated photographer and hype woman for our engagement shoot and wedding day! Rachel's warm and effervescent spirit put us at ease and helped us feel confident in showing our personalities and chemistry in front of the camera, ensuring we looked our best on one of the happiest days of our lives. We love her candid, photojournalistic style, and the collections she put together for us tell our love story in a way that words wouldn't be able to. We would work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that specializes in capturing authentic and genuine moments and feelings.

The best ever

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am with my decision to have Rachel shoot our wedding. She is the kindest, most creative and fun person you will ever meet! She brought the confidence and energy yet also the calm to us on our big day. She’s so incredibly detailed and creative with all her shots and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Everyone at our wedding raved about how amazing she was and we cannot recommend her enough!!!

I wish I could give 10 stars on everything!!!! Rachel was out of this world!!!! She was so HELPFUL, so WELCOMING, and FRIENDLY. She handles stressful situations very well and is very patient with people. She is so PROFESSIONAL and her work is AMAZING!!! Rachel is worth EVERY DIME!!!! I cannot express enough how grateful we are for her, her time, and her talents. Honestly, she feels like a friend to us. We are grateful for the whole experience from beginning to end. Rachel also put together an extensive schedule for the of our wedding for the photography, which as a bride planning her wedding on her own helped big time with coming up with a schedule and timeline for the day as well! Rachel captured every moment we asked her too, nothing was forgotten. Rachel also did our engagement photos, and she did such a great job making us feel comfortable behind the camera :). We are extremely satisfied. Honestly, I know Rachel specializes in weddings, enlopements, and engagements but I wish she also did other photo shoots as well because we would DEFINITELY use her!!! For family photos, Christmas photos, etc. that’s how much we loved her! We would use for our everything photographer, for our every need as our family grows. But either way, we will always refer people to Rachel and happily and proudly brag about her services :) she deserves it and it’s only true, so how could we not!

We had the good fortune of getting our Kreative floral arrangements captured beautifully by Rachel at Malibu west beach club and Malibu Presbyterian church! The colors were shades of purple and lavender. Rachel's eye for color was just stunning! She captured the most unique nooks and the most amazing expressions! Coming all the way from Nebraska, what an amazing photographer who really understands style, color, the unique moments! Glancing through the images, I felt Rachel showcased our Kreative flowers in the most breathtaking way! Thank you Rachel! Look forward to many more....
