love letters

As photographers, it’s their job to capture amazing and beautiful moments - but I also think that very few of them are truly capable of relating with their clients and making them feel as comfortable as possible. Rachel McDermott is one of those few photographers. Her bubbly and joyful personality made the sessions that I’ve had with her worthwhile, and her ability to beautifully capture every moment blessed me beyond belief. I highly recommend Rachel McDermott as a photographer.

There are a lot of photographers out there, and it’s pretty easy to find them on Instagram. But finding one who brings joy, love and life to your wedding day is not easy. It’s hard to put all of your trust in someone, especially if it’s someone you barely know to take your wedding photos, but it was so easy to trust Rachel! She came through for us in ways that we will always remember for years to come, caring for our wedding day and what we wanted!

Rachel blew away any expectations we had. She was honestly far more than just a photographer. Upon her arrival she got straight to work. She helped me get ready, arranged final touches, helped me form a plan, and kept every hair in place all night! Rachel captured so many beautiful moments throughout the entire wedding. She worked so quietly and methodically there were times we forgot she was there. She blended right in with all of our loved ones and immediately felt like part of our family.

Rachel is seriously the best! She was everything we could have asked for. She is a natural. She will make you feel like family even if you have only known her for a short time. Our engagement and wedding photos are AMAZING! I will recommend Rachel to everyone I know for their photo needs.

I have a few friends who used Rachel for family sessions which turned out amazing, so I checked out her social media and absolutely loved her style. She has a knack for capturing pure, intimate, candid moments. What more could you want? Well, if you choose to entrust Rachel to capture your special moments, you will get a LOT more! She was incredibly responsive with emails and texts, and when I would forget to reply (occasionally ), she would send a follow up just to check in. Rachel blew away any expectations we had.

She worked so quietly and methodically there were times we forgot she was there. She blended right in with all of our loved ones and immediately felt like part of our family. She was incredibly professional from start to finish. But she was able to read the room and knew when it was time to get down and boogie with us! Rachel went above and beyond to make us feel like we were her only worry in the world, and it truly shows in her work. We had to cancel our elopement to Scotland because of Covid. We decided to make the best out of the situation and have a small ceremony with loved ones in our backyard. Although this was not our original plan and we were truly heartbroken over the situation, Rachel made us feel like this was the plan all along. She was our cheerleader from the moment I contacted her. She knew what I couldn't envision yet, it would be the perfect day. Every image beautifully captures how perfect it really was. I cannot recommend Rachel enough. She was truly invested in us, our love story, and our big day. She has such a kind and caring soul and is truly selfless. She has become someone I consider a friend through this entire process. I will never stop singing her praises and recommending her to everyone I meet. I'm looking forward to Rachel capturing many more of life's special moments for us! She is worth her weight in gold. Do not hesitate to contact her. The moment you start communicating, you will understand how truly exceptional she is!
