Rachel Robertson Photography

Rachel's passion for her craft, beautiful use of natural light and captivating compositions truly make her an amazing artist. Her ability to not only capture amazing memories but to also make her clients feel so comfortable in front of the camera is a true gift. The images she captured for my sweetheart and I will always be very special to me and I wouldn't have had any other photographer capture the day other than her!

Rachel did a great job. She is very fun, creative and enthusiastic while being professional at the same time. She even agreed to come back next summer and shoot a delayed "trash the dress photos" as we were unable to do it after the wedding. Rachel went above and beyond to help make our wedding great. I've looked at other's wedding photos and our are so much more unique and creative. She had a alot of ideas, however she also asked if there are any shot's or poses that we wanted too. I highly, highly recommend her and will be using her in the future;)

we chose Rachel because her portfolios automatically stood out to us... they did not look like glorified prom photos, or pictures of people with sticks up their you-know-whats! Rachel takes photos that represent the bride and groom... they are fun, unique, and relaxed, which was such a relief on the crazy wedding day. She was insanely patient and got everything we asked for, even as we were asking for it at the last moment! We did not have an official wedding planner, so Rachel's reminders on the time schedule for some of the shots and events were really helpful, too! For our short session, we went out surfing in our wedding clothes, and Rachel was gung ho about it! She was patient as we waited for waves that we could ride together, and even while we tried to get our poor dog to stand on a board, too. Overall, if you are looking for someone who will make you more comfortable and calm during your shoots, is assertive enough to get those pesky lingering family members outta the way, and will go on a little adventure to get the right shots that encompass YOU as a couple, Rachel is your photographer for sure!

I wish I could rate her with a million stars...I so hate being limited to 5, especially when you find someone who is as amazing as Rachel is. First off, I'm not the bride, I'm the mother of the bride, and I'm also a very addicted scrap-booker, keepsake keeper, etc. For over 15 years I have loved photography as a hobby and have taught others how to preserve and protect their cherished photos, so…. to say I wanted a really good photographer for my ONLY daughter's wedding is sort of an understatement. The pictures were absolutely the most important part of the wedding day to me. They would be the preservation of memories, literally, that she and her husband would have to cherish forever. Having a mom with Alzheimer's, you learn real fast that sometimes photo's are the only link you have to a memory. So I wanted the best, and Rachel delivered. When I started searching for a photographer, I had more than just someone who could take good pictures in mind . I wanted someone who could "connect" with my daughter & her husband. I knew that if they felt comfortable, every bit of the joy they felt, and the love they shared would come through in the photographs. My daughter was very uncomfortable with being the "center of attention", and her husband by nature is VERY shy until you get to know him. I needed to find just the right person who could make them feel relaxed, like they were with an old friend, especially since they wouldn’t get to meet her until the wedding day. I talked to several photographers whose work I admired, but Rachel had an ease about her that I noticed upon our first conversation. It's as if you've known her for years even though you've never met. Since we don't live in Hawaii, our first "meeting"was on the phone and I knew immediately that this was the right person. Sure I had seen her work on line, but it was her immediate and genuine understanding of what I was looking for that made us connect. She wasn't just saying what I wanted to hear. She's relaxed, fun, & super easy to talk to. She has great ideas, gives good direction, and keeps things running smoothly. She can adapt to changes quickly and does so without getting flustered, which is awesome because no matter how well you plan, at weddings things sometimes don't go the way you thought they would! I reserved her almost 2 years ahead of time! :) (Did I mention that my daughter and I are both a little OCD?) When we got the pictures back, (which was sooner than we were told) I was ecstatic. There were so many things that I never even knew she got. We allowed extra time between the wedding and the reception so she could take them to an area of the beach that wasn't as crowded and she made wonderful use of some areas of the hotel that I would have never thought about. I didn't want a bunch of posed family shots that no one really cares about a couple of years later…I wanted images that captured the details, the emotion, the moment. Rachel is just so creative and talented and I am absolutely thrilled that I found her, she gave us everything we wanted and more! Like someone else mentioned, if Rachel's already booked on your date…change your date if pictures are important to you! I whole-heartedly recommend Rachel Robertson Photography. Oh! On a side note, my daughter and I decided to fly to Hawaii a year before the wedding to actually nail down some other things, and since we were there, we decided to see if Rachel could do a boudoir shoot so my daughter could make a book for her future husband. AMAZING, simply amazing is all I can really say about that! Stunning photo's, comfortable and easy shoot, and a book that ended up being something he wants every year! I told my daughter to tell him "then we have to go back to Hawaii every anniversary so Rachel can take the pictures!"

Rachel was an amazing photographer...professional, warm and really caught all of those little moments that we have forever captured because of her.

Rachel is amazing, our photos are absolutely timeless! We did engagement photos with her that are unforgetable. They are photos that your kids will fight over when you pass away. She was so much fun to work with, my husband who is not very into photos loved it and wanted to do more photos with her. Rachel caught the essence and personality of everyone at the wedding and reception. I am planning on going back to get her to do pregnancy photos one day. She is the best you could ask for for your one and only special day.

Rachel was amazing to work with. We did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding with her. She made us feel very comfortable which was important for us to be able to portray that in our photos. I could not ask for better coverage of our wedding, Rachel really understands that your wedding day is one of the most important events in your life and she showcases it very well in her photography.

I would highly highly highly recommend Rachel Robertson Photography for your photography needs. We were planning our wedding in Hawaii from Seattle, Washington, so had to do all planning over the phone and email. Rachel was very responsive, which I cannot say for the typical Hawaiian vendor (you know that aloha spirit we all love). Not only did Rachel make the process easy for us by asking all the right questions and being readily available during the entire planning process, she also recommended other wedding vendors that we could work with who are repeatable. Due to budget we were only able to have Rachel for a certain amount of time at our wedding, she was scheduled to leave right before our parent dances and she offered to stay a bit long to capture these important moments. And need I say her work is absolutely amazing! We have received numerous compliments on her work. Rachel is really easy to interact with, very professional and extremely talented. We will also recommend her for any photography needs!

Working with Rachel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we contacted her (we found good reviews on Yelp) to the day of, she was easy to reach and very professional. She even met with me at a cafe for a consultation prior to our wedding day to discuss ideas. More importantly, Rachel was great to work with. Warm, personable, flexible and at the same time inconspicuous in her work. She enjoys what she does and it shows in her work. I was quite happy with our pictures. We had both great photos documenting the day and people, and cool artistic detail shots as well. Her work speaks for itself if you check out her website. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel is such a talented photographer! She has super fun and different ideas and is great to work with. My wedding and "Trash the Dress" photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Couldn't be happier with my decision for choosing Rachel Roberston Photography.

Rachel's photography captured our wedding day the way we wanted. She has a very affordable package which included high-resolution digital files which were available to us in a short time. We felt Rachel was a perfect mix of photojournalism and traditional style photography. Rachel's photos covered every aspect of the wedding and it seemed as if she was magically everywhere. She was also very pleasant to work with, helpful, offered and accepted opinions and her presence was welcomed by all of our guests. She also made us feel comfortable and always had a smile on her face.

Rachel Robertson Photography was above and beyond anything a girl could dream of. My pictures captured the emotion, love, and excitement. Rachel is so fun loving and really listens to what your looking for. I recommend Rachel for anyone who wants to look back 50+ years at there wedding pictures and feel like they are right back in the moment. (the best day of your life)

When I first met Rachel I immediately knew she was the photographer for our destination wedding and couldn't wait for my fiance to meet her. Rachel was very easy to work with. She is down to earth, flexible and a lot of fun. Our engagement photo session was enjoyable and she had great ideas for locations. She spent extra time with us to get the right shot. On our wedding day, our family and friends were comfortable with her and everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend Rachel to our friends and family.

Rachel was wonderful to work with. I couldn't of asked for a better photographer to catch every aspect of my wedding day than her. She was so friendly, easy going, talented, helpful and everything more that you'd want on your wedding day. She capture every detail that I will always be able to look back on and remember forever.

Rachel Robertson was a great choice for our Wedding Photos. Capturing a milestone event in your life is not easy - and Rachel delivered. We are happy to have had Rachel share our day and help create our memories for our day in Paradise! Thank you Rachel!
