"Rachael, I absolutely love them...They are more than I could have wished for and the wait was so worth it. Thank you for doing such a great job. You truly are an amazing artist. :)"
Brittany & David P., 2012

"I truly loved the “casualness” and spontaneity of your photos. We hired you because we did not want the traditional posed wedding pictures. If I had to do it all over again, I would hire you again in a minute – these are the kind of photographic memories we wanted. Thanks again for making our surprise wedding so memorable."
Elaine & Jimmy J., 2007
