Rachel Elle Photography

HIRE RACHEL FOR AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. Trust me. When I first got engaged, I had no idea how important it would be to hire a top-notch photographer. Let me tell you, it’s worth investing in. Not only do you want someone that you feel comfortable spending your wedding day with, but you want someone who can capture all of the joy and beauty of the wedding so that you can treasure your wedding memories for the rest of your lives as a married couple. After browsing a few websites and getting a sense of pricing and style, I trusted my intuition more than anything, and reached out to Rachel. I was initially drawn to her stunning portfolio that showcases her talent and eye for beauty so well. I was very early on in the process of planning my wedding, and I felt totally overwhelmed by the process. In our first FaceTime consultation, Rachel immediately put me at ease by talking me through some of the details of the wedding planning process, and even helped me create a preliminary timeline for the day. I immediately knew I had found my photographer, and it was a no-brainer to hire her. Rachel made my husband and I feel so comfortable at our engagement photo shoot, which is saying a lot as we were both pretty nervous about it! My husband was very apprehensive about it beforehand, but as soon as we got started he was able to get into it. We actually had a blast (pro tip: bring champagne)! After the engagement shoot, I couldn’t wait to see Rachel again for the wedding day. She is such a pro that the entire day was perfectly planned out ahead of time and she kept us on track all day with our timeline. Rachel and my planner Bentley (honey b) made a great team, ensuring the wedding day went as smoothly and stress-free as possible. My family and friends all noted how calm and organized Rachel was, and how wonderful she was as a person. I was just honestly blown away by her professionalism and personality. Rachel is an all-around amazing person to be around, and her stunning photographs speak for themselves. We received our ‘sneak peek’ photos after only a couple days, and I was just in love. The wedding day goes by so fast, it’s almost a blur, and seeing those photos brought me right back to that state of bliss. When we got the full album, just about three weeks after the wedding, we got to relive that joyful day all over again. I feel deeply grateful to have met Rachel, and I just feel so lucky. I want everyone to have the same 5 star experience I had with my wedding photographer! Just trust me, it’s worth investing in the right person. You will not regret it for a second.

Rachel was wonderful to work with. We felt very comfortable and relaxed during our whole wedding day. We stayed in constant communication with Rachel from the moment we booked her and even after our wedding. Together, we discussed a timeline of events, for the day, and I can say we honestly stayed on schedule or maintained the schedule very well -- we were not rushed. The results of her work is what we will cherish forever. She did a great job of capturing the details, special moments, funny moments, and all the love that was felt during our wedding day. Our photos are better than we could imagine! I find a new favorite every time I look at them. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel was simply amazing!!! I can’t say enough about her. Photos mean the world to me (I’m the kind of person who prints photos I take from my iPhone) so I did a ton of research on photographers. I’m so glad I did because Rachel was the best money we spent for our whole wedding! We had her for both our engagement session and the actual wedding which was nice so we got to know her ahead of time! She made everything so relaxed and fun. We asked for minimal posed photos and mostly just candid shots and WOW did she deliver!! Remember: You will spend your entire wedding day with your spouse and photographer so make sure you choose wisely on both ;) Rachel captured all of our overwhelming love and joy and gratitude - we will forever cherish the photos she gave us!! I will also note that she even had several photos she showed us the night of the wedding which we were able to display on her iPad. I’ve never even heard of that! And within two weeks she had HUNDREDS of pictures edited and ready for us. JUST BOOK HER ALREADY!!!

We found Rachel through the Knot to capture our wedding back in May. She did a phenomenal job! We could not have been happier with how she captured our special day. I got the exact results I wanted (a light, airy, timeless look). One of the many things that sold us on choosing to work with Rachel was that she is in Florida part of the year. Since we spend a lot of time out there it was special for us to be able to have our engagement session there. Rachel was a joy to work with. She made the process easy from the day we met via zoom to the day we got our photos. Not once the day of my wedding did, I feel stressed or rushed. In fact, from the moment she entered the room the morning of her calmness relaxed me. Rachel was professional but also it felt like a friend was capturing our day. She stuck to the timeline perfectly and not once were we behind. And to my surprise we got our pictures back in 2.5 weeks!! We got so many compliments on our photos and questions about who we hired. We loved working with Rachel and would recommend her 100% to capture your wedding day as well. -Cydney & Jon

Rachel was so incredible to work with!! From engagement photos, to our wedding day timeline, to day-of photos, Rachel was always so helpful, kind, and professional. The photos we received were stunning! She captured our favorite moments from the day in a way that seems timeless. I could not imagine anyone doing a better job!

Rachel is absolutely great! She was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process and we could not be happier with our pictures! Would definitely recommend!

From start, to finish, Rachel was a phenomenal photographer to work with! I would describe her as kind, focused, reliable, levelheaded, caring and creative. When our schedule got a smidge pushed back on the wedding day, Rachel’s calmness calmed me down, and she was flexible with her timeline and her locations for photos. We told her our ideas and she couldn’t have executed them better! We are in love with the photos that she took! Please reach out to Rachel if you’re looking for an extremely talented photographer to capture your wedding, or engagement! She’s simply the best!

Rachel and Sarah were amazing to work with during our engagement session! They were able to make us feel comfortable and relaxed so we were able to be ourselves and get some beautiful pictures that reflect us and our personalities. They are so personable and sweet and the pictures we received are gorgeous!

My fiancé worked with Rachel for our Engagement photos. I absolutely loved working with Rachel. She was very personable, easy to work with, and made us super comfortable for our first ever photoshoot (so naturally we were nervous) and even came prepared with props (champagne) for a fun champagne pop photo. Would highly recommend her!!

I was the wedding planner at a wedding and Rachel was highly recommended. The bride is a photographer too, so she had very high expectations. Both parents and the couple were excited to hear that Rachel was very familiar with the venue, staff, and photography. Rachel was SO easy to work and her photos tell the story of the day.

Rachel is all around incredible. She is so easy to work with and her work is draw dropping beautiful. So many photographers are programmed to point and shoot, but not Rachel. Each shot is carefully thought out and it shows through all of her photos. So grateful to have met her!

Rachel has been an absolute delight to work with so far! We just for our engagement pictures back and we are over the moon in love with them. My fiancé and I are both very awkward with photos and posing, but somehow none of that came through in our pictures ( for possibly the first time ever). Rachel made the whole experience fun and relaxing for us, and was even able to get some beautiful shots of our hyperactive pup who moves a mile a minute! Friends and family have been reaching our non stop since I shared some of the pictures from our shoot, just to let us know how stunning they are! We can’t wait for rachel to photograph our elopement in September :)

Rachel was an absolute gem to work with! We are so grateful we chose her to capture our wedding day. She was responsive, thoughtful, detail- oriented, and truly amazing in every way. The photos turned out incredible and we couldn’t be happier with her work! Would recommend again and again!

Rachel was so easy to work with! Super responsive and had very quick turnarounds for both of our engagement and wedding photos. We utilized one of her associate photographers, Sarah, for our wedding and she captured all the best shots! We would definitely recommend Rachel and her team!

If you’re looking for a photographer Rachel is amazing! Rachel was so easy and fun to work with. She made me and my husband feel comfortable. She scheduled time for me and my new hubby to sneak away and have a few moments to ourselves and she captured the most gorgeous sunset photos. She worked super well with our other vendors. Our wedding photos are absolutely STUNNING!!!💖 Rachel got our whole gallery back to us in 3 weeks. She captured every moment big and small in the most beautiful way. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! If you need a wedding photographer do not hesitate with Rachel Elle Photography! Thank you SO much Rachel ❤️

Rachel and her team were amazing to work with for our engagement photos & wedding day in Minneapolis! She was flexible and responsive whenever we had questions. She kept us very relaxed on our wedding day & we are so happy with how our photos turned out! When we received the final gallery it was so emotional looking through them all and reliving the day. The photos turned out better than I could have ever expected & I’m so happy we decided to work with her. Would definitely recommend her!

we absolutely LOVED our engagement session with Rachel. Right from the first phone call she was easy to talk to and helpful with ideas and wedding day timelines. Booking the engagement session was easy and her tips on outfits were great. The actual session went so smoothly, we were nervous because we've never done a photo session before but we love how the photos came out. And always extra points for the amazing photos of our dog. Can't wait for the wedding photos :)

Rachelle is fantastic and very personable! She was the photographer for our daughter's engagement/wedding pictures, and we asked her to shoot our family pictures. She is great!! Very affordable and captures the best moments. family pictures 10/16/22 wedding 06/16/2023- can't wait to see her again, we know the photos from this special day will be awesome!

Rachel was an amazing vendor to work with! She helped to create a fun, comfortable, & creative boudoir experience. She listened to my vision and captured all the photos I wanted. I’m really happy I decided to book it! She was also very understanding when my prior photographer backed out where I was in a time crunch. Highly recommended her for your boudoir needs. Reasonable pricing too!

Our engagement photos went so well with Rachel! She was really fun to work with and made us feel at ease for all of our photos. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous!! She also is a great communicator which made the whole process a breeze. We couldn’t recommend her more!

We did our engagement pictures with Rachel and we could not have had a better experience! When we got there Rachel made us feel so comfortable and it was easy to just be ourselves and have a lot of fun. When we got our pictures back we were stunned with how amazing they were and how much they captured who we our. We also got tons of cute pictures of our dog too 😊 Would highly recommend!

Rachel is an extremely talented photographer I felt comfortable trusting her with my vision for my wedding day. As a South Asian bride, I was nervous that certain shots wouldn't turn out right due to the intricacy and detail heavy aspect of our outfits, jewelry, decor, etc. However, I was blown away especially by our portraits for the day and would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a wedding photographer. She is very receptive to hearing about what you want the vision to be for the day and executed it beautifully!

Rachel shot our engagement photos and did a wonderful job!

Rachel was AMAZING! Things could of not been more perfect. She is a absolute DREAM to work with. I was super nervous and she reassured me it was all gonna be fine. She was so caring and understanding and had so much patience and did everything we wanted. She was very professional. I could not say enough good things about her and I’m so glad we went with her. I can’t wait to see these amazing pictures.

Rachel was a delight to work with! She made my fiance and I feel so comfortable even though it was the first time meeting her. Rachel was great about getting us into certain poses to capture sweet moments. She produces great photos and we would highly recommend her!

Rachel was the best person we could've hired to capture our wedding day! She is very down-to-earth, fun, relatable, and she does absolutely AMAZING work! Rachel knows how to make you feel comfortable in whatever situation you're in; so much so, that the first time I met her in person was for my boudoir shoot and I never once felt uncomfortable or awkward! She is a great hype woman and my husband and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future :)

Rachel was amazing to work with! She provided helpful resources and made us both feel very comfortable during the shoot. She was also able to include our puppy, who's a handful, in some photos. She returned the photos quickly and we are both very happy with the results.

Wow. I do not even know where to begin. Going into engagement photos I was very unsure what they would come out looking like and I was a little nervous because I didn’t really know how to pose and I didn’t want to look awkward. It ended up becoming one of the best sessions ever. Rachel does such an amazing job making sure you feel comfortable and walking you through the entire process. She encourages you through the entire process which was such a breath of relief. After receiving the pictures today I am absolutely blown away. I can’t stop looking at them because they completely exceeded my expectations. They are absolutely perfect in every way! Rachel is absolutely amazing and I will happily recommend her to everyone I know!! Thank you so much Rachel!

I did a Boudoir shoot with Rachel and I cannot recommend her enough! Her direction and commentary immediately made me feel comfortable and confident and it was all so genuine. I was worried once I got the photos back I would pick apart my flaws, but I loved every picture. This experience is priceless - I have never felt so beautiful, sexy and in love with my body before and I feel like I finally see myself the way my husband sees me. I cannot recommend this enough for any woman!!

Rachel and her associates, Sarah & Sam, together make the most exceptional team. Rachel is extremely talented in her photo editing, & great to chat/plan with. With Rachel you can expect quick responses & excellent planning. We got our engagement pictures back within a week with a 100 perfectly edited photos. Sarah and Sam both did an amazing job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They did an amazing job finding the best light, great angles, and the perfect areas. We truly couldn't be happier with our photography team

Rachel was AMAZING!! I had met with Rachel over zoom and knew she was perfect to capture our love. My fiancé hates his picture being taken, but after our engagement session with Rachel he told me how comfortable she made him feel. She is professional, organized and FUN! She helped answer all my questions and gave me all the recommendations I wanted. Our engagement photos were everything we could have imagine and more. I cannot wait for her to capture our wedding day!! ALSO-- her turn around time is amazing. We got our pictures back in less than three weeks!

My fiancé and I tend to be camera-shy but both really enjoyed our engagement photo session, which was a very pleasant surprise. Rachel put us at ease. We are very happy with the photos; they seem to capture some of the joy that we feel.

I wish there were more stars than 5 to give! I'm a wedding venue owner and meet wedding photographers often, I can honestly tell you that Rachel was above and beyond the standard! She not only creates beautiful images and captures the entire day as a pro but she also is warm and kind and interacts with everyone as a friend. We loved having her here and can't wait to see her again. Highly recommend!

I couldn't imagine having our pictures taken by anybody else. My fiancé and I were so nervous but Rachel's personality made us relax so much! She was so supportive and hyped us up throughout the entire session and we felt comfortable as soon as we started shooting. She has wonderful ideas for shots. Also, we got our pictures back a week and a half after our shoot! We have nothing but good things to say about her!

Cannot rave about rachel enough! We got to know both Rachel and Sarah and they were a joy to work with, very relaxed and natural which makes photos so much easier!!

Rachel is an absolute rockstar! She is so laid back, down to earth, and so much fun to work with. She is so personable and will be sure to fix your hair or remind you to take off your hair tie so you can get the best possible pictures. She has an incredible eye and photography style and always captures the sweetest moments. She was so organized and helped us create the perfect timeline for our big day! She made us feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot and gave us great direction on what to do so we didn’t look totally awkward being newbies to the whole photoshoot thing. I had the opportunity to do my Boudoir shoot with her as a little surprise for my fiancé on our wedding day. She made me feel so beautiful, confident, and comfortable! We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our love story! We will certainly cherish our photos forever!! Thank you so much Rach! We love you!

The best ever, very cordial, caring and attentive to detail. Worked in the worst environment to produce the best results, she is a real pro and highly recommend her!

I had such a great experience with Rachel for my engagement photos! I am absolutely in love with them. She did such a great job posing us and made us look really natural. We also received our photos back very quickly - I was impressed! I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone! I am so excited that she will be there for my big day come November.

Rachel is a not only a fantastic photographer, but she is an incredible person! My spouse and I hired Rachel for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. We could not be more thrilled with the outcome of our engagement photos! Rachel made us feel completely comfortable, relaxed and confident. We had so much fun and she truly captured our essence as a couple. She even took some photos of our dog that turned out perfect! Rachel had a quick turn around for our engagement photos. Her response time to emails, texts, and calls is always in a timely manner. We have enjoyed working with Rachel thus far and cannot wait to work with her again for our wedding day! We highly recommend working with her!

Rachel was awesome! The photos from our proposal turned out absolutely beautiful. She suggested a fantastic location, which in turn gave us timeless pictures for us to enjoy forever!!

Rachel is very good at what she does, she’s very thorough and thinks of all the details of your big day. She’s an invaluable resource when you have questions on how something should be done or what works best for your specific venue. She is very friendly and takes charge when needed which is awesome! Highly recommend Rachel for sure!

Rachel was INCREDIBLE. No other word to better describe her. She captured our day so beautifully and better than I could have ever hoped for. She captured every moment, big and small was able to get the real and raw emotions in pictures that I will cherish and look back on forever. Rachel was very professional and so sweet- she made getting your picture taken all day long so easy and fun. She was early, listened to my special requests, got all of the pictures I wanted and more, and the bonus was how QUICKLY she got our pictures back!! I never imagined I would have my wedding pictures back in TWO WEEKS. Again, she is incredible. I cried looking through them again as I was able to relive the best day ever through her pictures.

My fiancé and I are from Southeast Asia and doing a “pre-wedding” photo session is traditionally very important for us and our families. We understand that “pre-wedding” photoshoot where couples dress up in wedding-like attires before the wedding might not be very common or well known in the states so we were a bit nervous to find the right photographer for it, but once we reached out and talked with Rachel she listens to our visions/ideas and totally nailed the photoshoot as we envisioned. Rachel is the sweetest person to work with and always boosting our confidence during the photoshoot. We were so happy that she got our photos back in such a short amount of time with such high quality! We will definitely recommend Rachel to our friends, families, and others to use her photography services!

We just recently had our engagement photos done with Rachel, and the experience was great. I was pretty anxious about getting our photos done and feeling awkward in front of the camera, but Rachel lead the session and guided us through it all. We were laughing the entire time and genuinely had fun. We also got all of our photos back in just one week which was awesome, and they turned out beautiful! 💗 Super happy we chose Rachel to be our engagement/wedding photographer. I now know after our engagement session, that I will feel comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day which was super important to me. One less thing to be stressing on our special day 🥰

Rachel was wonderful to work with for our engagement photos! We really appreciated her calm demeanor and how comfortable she made us feel during the photo shoot. We got our photos back in three days which was so impressive and the photos turned out great. She even spent extra time with us to get the shots we wanted. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Rachel is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. Our pictures are so beautiful and she captured everyone in such an amazing way, that looking at my pictures make me tear up. She was fun, excited about our day, and made the wedding party laugh. She just knows how to take a breath taking photo! Also they were edited and sent to me within less than a month after our wedding!

Rachel did an absolutely stunning job on our engagement photos! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! You’d never be able to tell it was our first time getting professional photos taken! We got over 100 pictures back from our engagement session alone! She got our photos back to us within a week! She was an absolute dream to work with!! I cannot wait for her to capture our wedding day! I can’t say enough good things about our experience so far!

Working with Rachel was amazing! We hired her for our engagement photos and she was super quick to respond and get us on the books. She provides great input and guidance for outfits and poses and really makes you feel comfortable! Had an absolute blast and the pictures came out FANTASTIC!

Rachel is the best! She made us feel fabulous in front of the camera! We loved our engagement photos and cannot wait for the wedding!

Me and my fiancé couldn't be more pleased with Rachel! She is so excellent to work with! Her response times are usually within hours, she is super flexible and kind, and really works with you to get a variety of looks and feelings in your photos! It was often just like catching up with an old friend. Our first engagement shoot was plagued with rain, and Rachel worked with us, even in the rain, to get some beautiful shots. She then rescheduled with us and we got some of the most beautiful shots in the world! We got our photos back with in DAYS which is just unheard of. Thank you so much, Rachel! we can't wait for our wedding day with you!!

Rachel made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and it was super fun to work with her! She was great at responding to any and all questions I had and she got our pictures back to us so quick. Our pictures are so beautiful, Rachel is amazing!

Not only does Rachel do amazing work, she is extremely kind and professional. I've used her services twice now, most recently for a boudoir shoot. I was a little anxious going into it, but Rachel encouraged me to go for it. She made me feel comfortable during the session, and really hyped me up! I think that came across in the photos. She's very easy to communicate with, and she always gets my photos back so quickly. I highly recommend booking with her!

They were AMAZING! Captured every moment!

Rachel and her assistant Sarah were absolutely amazing. They made us laugh and feel super comfortable during our engagement session. They knew exactly what angles and poses to do making us feel stress free! Rachel went above and beyond with the photos and even wrote a little blog post of us and the experience. Highly recommend for stunning photos and even better photographer.

Rachel it was so fun and nice to work with her she made everything comfortable and it went smoothly can’t wait to shoot again!
