Memories are timeless treasures of the heart

After reviewing Rachel's website, I purchased a voucher to give to my wife for her birthday as the pictures on the website very much suited our taste. The photoshoot was our first professional family photoshoot and Rachel did not disappoint. We scheduled the photos at a time we thought there would be a lot of colour's in the trees and leaves. Rachel worked with us leading up to the shoot to discuss location (which she spent time searching for the ideal spot), Our outfits plus hair and makeup suggestions for my wife. The 3 of us + our dog, (Mr Burns) had heaps of fun during the photoshoot. Rachel made us feel comfortable and ensured she captured natural photos whilst still providing direction throughout the shoot. All the photos were absolutely beautiful! We ended up purchasing more than we planned because we loved them all. We couldn't be happier with the results and we will be scheduling our next family photoshoot with Rachel as soon as we are ready for it.

Rachel was the perfect photographer for us on our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories she captured for us, surrounded by the gorgeous Blue Mountains backdrop that we call home. Rachel gave us the freedom to do what came naturally to us, with just the right amount of guidance when we needed it. We were amazed by her talent, and we highly recommend her as the best wedding photographer in the Blue Mountains. You will not be disappointed!
We have downloaded the photos and we absolutely love them. We cannot wait to share with our family & friends. Thank you for all your help and capturing our special moment so perfectly. You were such a big part in making the proposal all come together beautifully, being so professional and supportive the whole way. We both had a little teary moment seeing the photos and appreciate so much that we will have them to look back on forever. We wish you all the best with your photography you're incredible at what you do!!!

Rachel is the most talented photographer that I’ve ever seen! She can make the mundane magical. She has captured the most important moments in my life - my wedding & engagement session, my newborn photos for my daughter, my most recent pregnancy and my newborn son. I’m so happy with every photo, I’m a very shy person but Rachel makes me feel comfortable and I’m naturally awkward in photos but Rachel makes it easy and fun. I’m constantly asked who does my important photos because they’re always high quality and whimsical; I can only ever say it’s Rachel, she’s a star who has found her true calling in capturing the best moments in peoples lives.

I have shown the AMAZING book to family members and friends who are blown away by your creativity, the quality of the pictures and what a great photographer you are. We would be more than happy to write a testimonial so here goes. “Amanda and myself would like to pass on our sincere thanks to you Rachel for being part of our special day and capturing our most treasured memories with your camera. You have been so easy to work with, always very friendly and flexible with our desires for the big day. Your local knowledge of the Blue Mountains meant that we were able to coordinate our timing just right to collect the magic of the setting sun in all our pictures. You managed to find beauty and colour in all of our photos and your relaxing and professional manner meant that Amanda and myself and our families were so comfortable with your direction and the pictures are a testament to you. Our large print is such a reminder of a beautiful day and we are both blown away with the canvas book that was provided as part of our package. The picture and the way you have them displayed on the pages to highlight certain features and colours is timeless and utterly stunning. The whole process from the preparations, to the big day, until the completion of the frame and the book has been so effortless and quick and we thank you so much for going above and beyond for us on our wedding day.” Elise & Amanda
Rachel is very sweet and considerate, very patient and professional. She was perfect throughout the planning stages and especially on the day. We requested 'rawness' to the storytelling and that is exactly what we received. She incorporated all of our requests. Our favourites were the night shots, and also the night shots incorporating the bridal party. The service was exceptional and the photos are amazing. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. You made it all so easy for us and we truly appreciate everything you have done for us.

Thank you Rachel for doing such an amazing job as our wedding photographer. The engagement shoot was the best idea as we were far more comfortable on the Big Day and added to our memories. You have given us such a range of fantastic photos that we struggle to choose a favorite. The canvas is of very high quality and takes pride of place in our home. We absolutely love our album. It is our pride and joy from out wedding.

We first came across Rachel when we were looking for a Wedding Photographer in 2014. Our first Shoot was our engagement session, which was a lovely 'get to know you' and practice for the wedding. I knew from the Photographs we got from this session, our wedding photos would be amazing, I wasn't wrong. Rachel was fabulous with my family, including all of the kids in the wedding party. We've since had our 5th session with Rachel, and will book again for the next big milestone. My 1 year old loves his sessions with Rachel and my camera shy husband is happy to have a session with Rachel when needed. Every album and print we have received have been perfection, you can see the professionalism and care taken to capture, edit and print. I can't wait to fill my home with more.
Ashlea & Thomas Coupland
Rachel, we can’t thank you enough for recording some beautiful images and memories for us. You made the process so fun and easy from start to finish and our photos are beautiful and top quality! If you are thinking of asking Rachel to take your photos, I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Emily & Paul Harding
I contacted Rachel for a newborn photoshoot and was immediately contacted back by her assistant and then later Rachel herself. As I was still pregnant at the time I was able to have a maternity photoshoot as well as newborn photos. Somehow, even 8 months pregnant, Rachel was able to make me feel confident in my body and the photos turned out better than I ever thought possible. We then trusted her with our 7 day old baby and as first time parents we didn’t trust anyone! She took such gentle care with our little man and was so patient with him and us when he didn’t want to pose/sleep/be undressed! The whole time we were there Rachel was calm and patient and captured moments we will truly cherish forever. We asked if we could bring along a 3 metre crocheted dragon for the photoshoot and of course she was equally as excited to shoot with it as we were and was completely accommodating of our request. I could not recommend her services highly enough! I just wished we knew about her services before we got married as we would have chosen her to capture our special day.

Rachel is incredible and did an OUTSTANDING job photographing for us on our wedding day. Rachels professionalism and passion for her trade was reflected right from the moment we met her all the way through to receiving our prints and beyond. Her knowledge, skill and attention to the most seemingly inconsequential details was incomparable. I can not convey in words the beauty and power that resonates from her photographs. Our day was pure magic and is reflected PERFECTLY in Rachel's work. We will continue to utilize her services in the future and will recommend her to everyone. I can not imagine a better photographer. You absolutely, irrefutably and without any doubt can not go wrong hiring Rachel.
Kyrie & Kerrod
Wow! The book layout looks amazing! It's all I dreamed it would be. And better! We looked at it twice, laughing at the funny moments and completely reliving the day. I'm so happy! I can't even find the words to express how happy and grateful I am. Thank you so much!

Libby & Matt
When I first commenced my search for a Blue Mountains wedding photographer I was overwhelmed with all the options that popped up. I started slowly searching through them all including all photos on facebook and instagram and was instantly drawn to Rachel, from our very first email interaction to our communication post wedding she has always been extremely responsive, kind and so incredibly positive. She was very knowledgeable of our venue and was so happy to work with us to ensure she captured our day exactly how we wanted. I knew our photos were going to be amazing but we were blown away by just how incredibly well she captured everything from the beginning of the day right through to the end. We will forever be grateful that we chose the beautiful Rachel to capture our day and cannot recommend her services any higher as I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Rachel for being so amazing to work with and hopefully we can work with you in the future to capture some photos our of family as we grow it 😍💜❤️
Kelly & Blake
Rachel is an incredibly patient and talented Blue Mountains photographer! I would not have had any one else to capture my babies newborn photos! He was a little bit unsettled on the day but Rachel's patience and creativity gave us a stunning selection of photos that we had made into a gorgeous album. We will be back with our next baby.
Rachel & kenny kent
For the past 3 years Rachel has been capturing our special moments. From our engagement shoot, to our wedding and now our first born child. Every time we are blown away by her skills. She is so laid back and easy going. Each session we've had, has been so much fun. We highly recommend her.
Nicole & Tim Legge
We had an amazing experience dealing with Rachel and her team & are so glad we chose her for our maternity & newborn photos. Everything from the booking through to preparing/ planning for the shoots was just so easy. We ended up being in hospital with our son a little longer than we had planned and Rachel was very patient and accomodating. The photos turned out beautifully and the quality of products are just perfect, we highly recommend her.
Samantha & Ben Murray
We had our 6 day old little girls photo shoot today and we are ecstatic about the whole experience! Rachel was so welcoming, friendly and professional from the very beginning, displaying such calmness towards our little one throughout the session and all those outfit changes! She was so gentle in assisting our baby to create the necessary poses and and patient throughout the whole morning. Highly recommended 🙂
Sierra Rosenbladh
Zoe and I also want to say a big thank you for everything you have done for our wedding. We really appreciate the time and care you took with us and your professionalism from beginning to end, especially on the big day, we thank you so much for your calm and patient manner and your spirited ideas for photos at our wedding. From day one you were an absolute joy to work with and we would recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone. We couldn't be happier with the album - it really is beautiful from cover to cover. The framed print and thank you cards are perfect as well. Our wedding would not have been the same without you and we are glad you were a part of it. What you have captured and created is something that we will always look upon fondly.
Zoe & greg
From the moment I spoke to Rachel on the phone, I knew I was going to have the most amazing photos of the biggest day in Nolan and my lives. Weddings are extremely expensive, and at every decision, I questioned myself, is it worth it? Do we really need that? Is it important? With photographs you know they are going to be the one thing that lasts beyond the day. Rachel's creative style is amazing, and she is also willing to adapt her usual style to your own. The quality and presentation of her albums are high-end and beautiful. Her artistic flair enabled us to have a print of our wedding that is more of an art piece than a portrait and will never ever go out of style. We are forever grateful for making our day look so beautiful!!!
Larrisa & Nolan
Rachel, what a fabulous day we had and so happy you were there to capture our special moments. We love your work and are so overwhelmed by the shots you took. They tell the story so beautifully and from a perspective outside of what we saw. Thanks so, so much.
Vanessa & Clinton
Just had a quick look at the images on facebook from my phone. They are absolutely stunning. Thank you so much. We are blessed to have such beautiful photos. Thanks again.
Aleisha
