Testimonials

Rachel,  It was so amazing to have you be a part of our wedding. The photos are everything we hoped for and more and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. You were such a pleasure to work with while coordinating the day and even more so on the day of. Thank you for being so positive and calm and fun! Our parents and our wedding party all commented on how great you were (they all loved you) and I could not agree more. You went above and beyond what I even expected (suggesting a fantastic place to shoot our photos, transporting the wedding party to the photo sight, sending us that sweet book about love, carrying our tired little dog back to the car). We are very grateful to you for capturing so many incredible moments that we will cherish our whole lives. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, Courtney & Ryan

Just got to Atlanta to my professional meeting, turned on my computer, and saw this stunning slideshow. Rachel, this is a tour de force — the mood, the feeling of the whole thing, the people really come through. The shots tell the story, and the perspectives you achieved were amazing. I have to admit — it moved me to tears. What a treasure. – Blair

Rachel – Working with you was such a pleasure. I was nervous about how my three year-old twins would handle a photo shoot, but you had the magic touch and found a way to make the afternoon enjoyable for everyone. The best part was the result – our photos are unique, creative, and capture the essence of our family. You will no doubt be our family photographer for life! – Erin

Got the Wedding Album from C&C on Wednesday night in NY. OMG!! It’s beyond. Even though we previewed it online, the physical reality is just amazing. I adore the full page spreads in particular. Had dinner with two of my girlfriends in NY on Thursday night… Among other things, both said “Rachel’s photos are the best wedding photography we’ve ever seen” and we all added that it was so seamless… Thank you Rachel for capturing our very special occasion with all its spirit, energy and beauty. What a gift.  Love, Trish

Rachel is amazing! I can’t say enough about how great an experience it was. We are having a really hard time picking pictures from our wedding because they are all so beautiful!! It rained on our outside wedding. And Rachel somehow was able to get all the shots I wanted and get the feel for the day. She really captured exactly what I was after. She really works with what you want by capturing your personality and all the ones closest to you on print. Even with the rain I never once was worried about the photos. She will definitely be someone that you can trust with your life changing moments. She was amazing! – Susan and Pete

Rachel, Wow!  Thank you for capturing so much of what we love about our little boy through your lens.  The moments and expressions you caught in photographs are truly priceless to us because they document a time in our growing family’s life that is going by much too quickly.  Your ability to work with Kai to allow him to be comfortable and natural in front of the camera is something of a gift and one that not many photographers have (we know from experience).  We absolutely love the photos and have them proudly displayed at home! We are looking forward to continuing to work with you for many years to come. Thank you, Rachel! -Jane & Todd & Kai

For our wedding, we really wanted somebody with a photojournalism type of style.  We wanted the pictures to tell a story about our whole wedding day, and not just poses and family pictures.  Rachel did an amazing job at capturing candid shots of us and our family that we don’t even remember happening.  All of our pictures show the emotions and feelings that we had on our wedding day.  Rachel’s style captured the mood of the whole event, from the nervous time getting ready, the excitement of the ceremony and finally to the party atmosphere of the reception and dancing.  We knew that one of the most important parts of our wedding would be the photographs since that’s how you remember your special day.  Rachel did an amazing job at capturing every single special moment from our wedding.  We could not have been more happy with how everything turned out, from the engagement photos to our wedding album.
Thanks a bunch Rachel.-Alex and Whitney Green 
 

Dear Rachel, How can we thank you for the gorgeous photos of our family?  You captured the true essence of who we are and how we interact.  We chose our favorite prints and hung them in the house and I stop every time I look at one of them.  I feel as if the moments in the photos never passed, and as a parent, that is a gift.  Our children grow up so quickly and being able to have those unique and special qualities they exhibit captured in pictures is priceless.  We think you are so talented, and such a joy to work with!  We look forward to many more shoots as a family with you.  – Meghan and Vince

Dear Rachel, A photography session with you is like hanging out with a great friend. You were so easy to be around and are so talented that I forgot we were having our picture taken! I remember telling you I was much more interested in emotion than composition. I wanted to convey how much we love each other and love being a family.  The pictures you delivered were beyond my expectations. I actually cried. Ever since our shoot I have been trying to figure out when I can use you again!  Thanks again!  – Emily

Every step of the process with Rachel was easy, professional, and fun!  She went above and beyond everything we asked of her and was a flawless addition to our wedding day.  Aside from that, her works speaks for itself.  We have phenomenal wedding photos that capture every important moment of the day, and more.  We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone.  
-Theo and Jill Mioduski

Hi, Rachel, I want to thank you for the wonderful way in which you photographed and preserved Karl and my wedding.  We have been amazed at how many different pictures you took, and of all the great candid shots of our guests.  It was so hard to pick anything for our photo album!  But, the album is GORGEOUS!  We love the cover, but we especially love all the memories it holds.  We really appreciate how many photographs you were able to include, and the way you laid out our “story”.  Many thanks, Rachel, for all your hard work.  We sincerely appreciate you!  Fondly, Karl and Paige

There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding, but choosing Rachel as our photographer was one of the best ones. From the day she shot our engagement photos to the day of the wedding, she was extremely easy to work with. What impressed me most about her was the emotion she was able to capture in every picture. As a result, are able to re-live that special day over and over. It is clear to see that she loves what she does and we loved our results! We received dozens of compliments on the albums she created over the internet, as well as the BEAUTIFUL album she created for us to keep at home. I would recommend Rachel to anyone getting married in Colorado. Thank you, Rachel, for everything! -Christy & Wade

Ohhh Rachel – you are amazing!  Every day I look into my children’s adorable little faces and wish I could capture those precious expressions and hold on to them forever.  You capture not only the expressions, but the feelings that never quite make it into my own photos.  The love between Michael and Alex in your daddy and daughter shots is palpable and brought tears to my eyes.  We will cherish these images forever.  What a gift you have to record these fleeting moments of their youth, and ours!  And, what a gift to me, that I can stop taking dozens of shots trying to get one perfect image and I can leave that job up to you!  Katie

Rachel captured our wedding with exquisite care and skill. She was easy to work with, bringing many good ideas that made the process easy and fun for both my wife and I. Her ability to both capture the essence of the moment instead of just the content of it, has left us with not just a simple record of events, but a true chronicle of our emotions on that day. -Cameron & Caroline

My dear Rachel!  You are the best! I can’t believe how great they came out! We love them! Thank you so much! You made all of us feel so comfortable. The kids had a great time and now we have these beautiful memories. It was a pleasure to work with you! Thank you again. –Tania

Our family has LOVED working with Rachel!!! She has amazing talent and since she is a mom of a toddler herself, there was no pressure whatsoever for our 3 young kids to be still and pose which made our photo session light and fun!!!! And, we got many fabulous pictures in the end. -The Clark family

My husband and I were so excited to get our maternity portraits done, but didn’t know who to go to. He reached out to Rachel and she agreed to do them for us and went out of her way to come to us where we felt would be a great setting for the photos. Not only was she amazing to work with (so professional but also very personable), but our photos turned out amazing! When we sent them to family and friends they were blown away. We didn’t hesitate to ask her back for our newborn and 6 months portraits. She has continued to exceed our expectations with every photo session and I am always amazed how she can make a cloudy day or a just white backdrop turn into such a great photo. Thank you, Rachel! You really did capture some wonderful moments that we are so happy to have forever. –Gina & Sadler

While many photographers can capture an image, few can capture a feeling….a fleeting moment in time that lasts just a few seconds…a look, a kiss, a smile, an expression. These little things convey big emotions–the love that bonds families together, the joy of togetherness, or even just the fun, silly moments between friends or siblings. Rachel’s gift is that she can capture these moments and feelings as they happen, so you can remember them forever. Every time I look at the beautiful photos she has taken of my family, I am reminded of those precious moments in time and what it felt like to be there. Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your wonderful gift with us!! –Marjorie & Woody

Rachel did SUCH a beautiful job with our family photos.  She used very natural settings and poses which was exactly what we wanted… In fact they weren’t really poses so much as her just capturing our family playing together and being together.  Her pictures depicted exactly how much my husband and I love our little boy.  I cried when I saw them.  The only problem was finding wall space for ALL the pictures I wanted to buy! -Lora

We have been lucky enough to have Rachel photograph our most special events; our wedding, the first pictures of our son, and now our annual family pictures.  Rachel’s pictures not only capture the moment, but they also radiate our personalities and reflect our true emotion.  It is magical to look at her pictures as you can’t help but relive the instant.  We also love being able to take the pictures in a location of our choice; in an environment true to our personalities and one in which we are comfortable.  Thank you Rachel, for providing us with such vivid and incredible images of our own lives.  –Liz & Scott

The first time we worked with Rachel, I kept waiting for her to move us around or set up shots, but it just felt like our family was hanging out…with Rachel there, too. I was totally blown away when I saw the photos from our portrait session. Not only were the pictures beautiful, but more than any other photos I have seen of my family, she really captured our emotions from goofy to sweet to deeply loving. We have continued to turn to Rachel when we have special moments to capture and she never fails to take my breath away, make me laugh out loud, and bring tears to my eyes with the results. My house is slowly turning into a Rachel Olsen original, as I never want to switch out “old” family photos for newer ones! -Erika

Rachel,  Thank you for making my wedding day so special.  I absolutely loved the pictures! You took the time to speak with me before our big day and had wonderful suggestions in terms of location and composition.  I was completely comfortable during the photos; your direction and patience helped to put me at ease despite my butterflies.  You even organized a special meeting between me and my husband as we saw each other for the first time that day.  I was equally impressed with your ability to capture plenty of candid moments during the reception.  Some of my favorites are ones of friends and family on the dance floor!  Again, thank you so much for everything. It was truly a pleasure. -Jenny

Rachel-We are so thrilled to be able to consider you our “family photographer!”  Your amazing gift has allowed us to capture special times in our family’s life that we otherwise wouldn’t have.  You work with children so well, the photo sessions are so much fun and are not a hassle at all.  In fact the kids often ask “when do we get to see Rachel again??”  We have had numerous compliments on our photos and Christmas cards and look forward to sending many more out.  From the session planning to choosing photos to sending holiday cards, everything is easy with you and your photography company.  We appreciate all you do!! Love, The Langs

Rachel is such a talented photographer.  She has perfectly combined her expertise and passion for photography.  Our entire family, including young children, were all able to be at ease and comfortable with her during our session.  It is obvious that she truly cares about her clients and appreciates the importance of capturing tender moments that will last a lifetime. -Susie

Rachel is an exceptionally talented photographer and a pleasure to work with.  Her professional manner paired with her charismatic personality puts our clients and us at ease.  She is highly efficient during the shoots and in retouching and returning the final images.  For these reasons our business has chosen to work with Rachel on all of our commercial photography projects.  –Sadler, Thirsties
