Rachel is freaking phenomenal!!
She is incredibly kind and friendly, reliable and communicative, and a really amazing photographer! We first hired her for a family photo shoot with my then-6 month old and she was SO great to work with. She made me and my hubby both feel totally comfortable (and hubs isn’t big on taking pictures so this was a big deal) and she was so good with our daughter, making her laugh and smile the whole time. And best of all the shots she took are GORGEOUS. I have already hired her for two other occasions and every time was as good or better than the last. I can’t recommend her enough!

We were beyond impressed
We hired Rachel for our wedding and she was absolutely amazing. My wife and I did not want cheesy photos, and instead wanted to focus more on candids, but our mothers (sigh) wanted all the super-cheesy shots, and Rachel navigated the emotional and political minefield perfectly. She managed to appease the mothers while getting literally hundreds of superb candids that truly captured the feeling and energy of the party. Her photos are well framed, well lit, well timed, from great angles, and of every aspect of the party. We were beyond impressed, and recommend Rachel extremely highly. Thanks so much Rachel for capturing our wedding so beautifully!

Definitely a core memory
Rachel did an incredible engagement shoot for us last month at Rattlesnake Ledge. She hiked with us, getting to know us on the way up & helping us pose the entire way. The shoot itself was SO much fun- Rachel directed us where to stand and how to pose. She captured a wonderful mix of candid & portraits.
Cannot recommend Rachel enough – such a wonderful photographer!! Definitely a core memory for both of us.

Family photos we all cherish
Rachel Simpson is a talented photographer and beautiful soul. She will put you at ease and make you wish you could spend more time around her.
Rachel made all six of us feel comfortable and relaxed. She had games to get us all giggling. She gave direction when we needed it, and let us do our own thing when we didn’t. The photos she took are stunning: tack sharp, masterfully composed and toned. I love seeing myself and my family through her lens. Thank you, Rachel, for the family photos we all cherish.

The perfect vision of our day
We had the pleasure of working with Rachel for our outdoor redwoods wedding in June 2022. I chose her for her experience with shooting similar environments where there is strong lighting contrast between sun and dappled shade. I also love her photographic style: vibrant and naturalistic. On the wedding day, she worked quickly and efficiently, getting tons of awesome shots while being totally unobtrusive. Plus, it’s so easy to be overwhelmed and swept away at your own wedding, but she helped us (and even our planner) stay on schedule, checking in at appropriate times to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. And of course, the photos she delivered were beautiful. She captured the perfect vision of our day in gorgeous detail, and we look forward to revisiting the memories again and again.

Rachel was an amazing photographer!
Before the wedding she asked a little bit about ourselves and also made sure to look up areas where we could have our wedding photo shoot after the wedding. Rachel definitely knew what she was doing! I’ve worked with other photographers before, but have never worked with someone as professional and on point as Rachel.”
