    “Rachel is a terrific wedding photographer! Our engagement photos: excellent. Our wedding photos: excellent. She is also very personable, gave great directions, and is well-organized. After reviewing our wedding album, several guests asked whether we had hired multiple photographers, because every detail of the day seemed to have been captured perfectly. Nope, it was all Rachel, she's just that good.”
