There is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked
Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone.They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique.

Most couples invest between $2k and $6k on elopements with up to ten guests
I will hold all of my photos near and dear to my heart.
Our photographer Rachel is super talented, patient, and kind. We were both nervous and didn’t know how to pose or act naturally in front of a camera. Rachel kept repeating if we are truly in love, it’ll show in the pictures flawlessly. And she was right. After seeing the pictures, you would never guess that we’ve never done this before. I will hold all of my photos near and dear to my heart. You can truly see the love. On top of that, we paid for the super 8 film and it is now my favorite thing ever. I don’t know much about super 8 but it fit my style perfectly. I will always advocate for super 8 if the option is available. Her partner Nate was our officiant. He did a great job and asked us multiple questions ahead of time to get to know our relationship better.
