Rachel Bell Photography

Rachel is an absolute artist. She captured our engagement photos and our wedding (that I've seen so far) perfectly. She was very energetic and kept everything moving well the day of the wedding and her second photographer was a pleasure as well! ! My only complaint would be some scheduling difficulties and some delays in answering emails. Regardless of all of that, Rachel really comes through and her work is absolutely beautiful! I haven't received our photos or albums yet, so I can't speak to speed of turnaround.
I would definitely use her again, and plan to when it comes time for family photos :) More...

Rachel was fantastic! We met with 5 photographers before we found Rachel. We just clicked with her personality and her photos were exactly what we were looking for.

Rachel and the 2nd professional photographer arrived about 2 hours prior to the start of the ceremony. This was approximately the same time that everything started to go wrong (my bridesmaid couldn't find her dress, my cousin couldn't find his pants, my mothers zipper broke in her dress & it started to rain so we had to get everything moved inside). Rachel had such a wonderful presence - very calming. She made it so that we could still take our photos outside. She wasn't pushy or in a rush. She fit in quite well with our whole wedding party, family and guests.

By the end of the night we pulled them onto the dance floor and they stayed and danced with us enjoying the party! We have gotten a sneak peak of our photos within a week of the wedding and they are so wonderful! I can't wait to get them all back (we should have them next week!) More...

From the very beginning it was a complete joy to work with Rachel! We are from MA, but planned a destination wedding up in Maine, so needless to say, we packed as much as we could into every pre-wedding trip up there. One of those trips was relatively last minute, but Rachel still managed to squeeze us in to see her work and look at the various packages. Even through her emails you really get a feel for her excitement and genuine care that she has for each of her clients! She really wants to make sure it's special!

Leading up to the wedding she also kept us up to date with any changes, and made sure she got down all of our wants and needs before the big day. This included getting a list of all the groups of people, portraits, and other shots that we wanted to make sure we got during the chaos of the day.

On our wedding day we were greeted by hugs and smiles as she jumped right in capturing those initial getting ready moments. At times you'd almost forget she was there, moving around and getting what would turn out to be some truly fabulous candids throughout the occasion. These ranged from a smile crossing my grandma's face to meaningful glances and those "workin' it" faces of guests on the dance floor!

Once Rachel posted our initial preview album online we IMMEDIATELY started getting calls from both our families raving about the pictures. The pictures are such worlds apart from the traditional very staged looking wedding pictures. Her work captures emotion and moments and light in a way that just instantly brings you right back to that place in time. Both the candid and "family" photos had the same feel of effortlessness and nostalgia.

I cannot say enough about our experience and the result from our work with Rachel. If we got married again we'd choose her a thousand times over!! More...

If you are looking for a perfect addition to your wedding I would highly recommend Rachel Bell as your photographer. She is personable, makes you feel comfortable, and takes amazing photographs. She gave us photos of our wedding very shortly after which was really fun! Her photography are not just images of your wedding but pieces of art. I think all her weddings are done uniquely and I never see the same shots. She is truely wonderful to work with and loved the photographs. More...
