My husband and I are both uncomfortable in front of the camera and hate having our picture taken, but we do want to get nice family photos together with our son every so often. Previously it's been an experience to suffer through, but this time we actually really enjoyed it! Rachel put us right at ease and the photos she took were the most natural, relaxed, and happy pictures we've ever had taken. My parents came to visit on short notice and tagged along on our photo shoot day, and even though they hadn't planned on joining the photo session, Rachel brought them in and got some great shots with them as well (which make for wonderful Christmas gifts). Rachel's friendly attitude and photographic talent made this session money well spent and I actually look forward to doing this again soon. More...

Rachel is great!  We did a quick mini session with our family for holiday photos and even though short, it was a great experience.  Everything from booking the appointment, thru the shoot, until photos were provided was seamless!  She is great with communication and confirmation - a huge plus!  She was amazing with our family and our camera shy little one...made us all feel at ease.  Not only were the photos great, turnaround was very quick considering how busy she is. I will definitely reach out to Rachel again in the future. More...

Rachel is amazing. A total pro. During our photo shoot, I didn't expect it, but, our kids went wild. I think they were excited. We were kind of taken off guard, and were going to call it a day, but Rachel found a way to connect with them. They listened to her, and she made them laugh. She made us all feel comfortable. When the photos came back, we saw how incredibly gifted she is with the camera, too. She has a way with light that makes your photos look magical. Her photos are works of art we will forever cherish.

Rachel is awesome! Do yourself a favor and hire her! She has a very calm and gentle demeanor so she takes pictures unobtrusively and fits in with the vibe of the wedding - but she is also extremely effective and efficient so she will manage your group group photo shoots very well and get everyone in the shot, posed and setup for the next group!

Rachel is amazing!! She stood in the pouring....and I mean pouring rain (right before Kauai had the big rains that caused massive flooding) for us and managed to get amazing photos, despite the sideways rain. She then did another shoot with us the next day so we could have some pictures of us where we were dry. Although we had been on the island for about a week we still didn't have the best ideas of where to go, she had great ideas and the day after pictures were beyond beautiful and so unique. She even helped me do my hair the next day to try to recreate the wedding day.

She is quick to respond, extremely professional and a great communicator. She is great at directing people for family and group pictures and her eye for candid shots is epic.

I highly recommend her!!

We absolutely loved working with Rachel and her team! I wanted to make sure whoever I chose as our photographer was someone I both felt comfortable around and could laugh with, and Rachel was both of those things. Our group photos were awesome thanks to Rachel's energy -- we took a lot of them pre-ceremony, and got really excited about the wedding thanks to the fun shots Rachel arranged. She was also incredible at keeping us on schedule -- we had a tight timeline and lots of family photos to take during cocktail hour, and Rachel made that happen seamlessly. We truly appreciated how she was so organized and systematic she was, and all of the prep work she put in before our big day. We highly recommend Rachel!! More...

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Sunset Ranch in Haleiwa and we hired Rachel as our engagement and wedding day photographer. The venue and Rachel’s skills and products (throughout the planning process up until our wedding day) could not have been more perfect.

After our initial engagement we immediately decided on having the wedding in Hawaii. I grew up on Oahu and wanted to have our ceremony in nature with local vendors to highlight the beauty of my home state. Rachel was recommended as a preferred photographer by our wedding planner. As a resident of Oahu, Rachel knew the area and was readily available to provide us with insight and suggestions during the wedding planning process.

Our engagement photo shoot was in Waimanalo. Rachel was able to pick a perfect location along the beach. She remained professional and her final product was sent out without complications.

Over the course of a year of preparation for our big day, Rachel continued to be very supportive and professional. She treated us as friends, rather than another number, while still maintaining professionalism, and both my husband and I felt that she was there for us in an effort to make our day go as smoothly as possible.

The wedding day went very smoothly thanks in no small part to Rachel and her assistant. Besides having wonderful interactions with our guests, Rachel and her assistant went above and beyond preparing for the ceremony (helping to bustle my dress and teaching my husband and his groomsmen to tie ties). After the wedding, Rachel sent us a link to our pictures which turned out beautifully. We also received a photo album with her preferred pictures.

If you are looking for a professional, skilled and friendly photographer for your wedding and engagement to highlight that milestone in your life, I highly recommend Rachel Robertson!

Disclaimer: This is a late review, almost one year overdue!At our first meet up, Rachel was so friendly, and not at all pushy. She was upbeat, energetic, easy to talk to, and I felt like I just clicked with her really well. I did meet with other photographers, but nobody stood out to me more than Rachel, so I booked her for my engagement photos. She was GREAT. My husband and I warned her we were awkward, but she immediately put us at ease with encouragement and we definitely relaxed and started to enjoy our photo session. We did two locations and she went above and beyond to capture the very best each location had to offer. Needless, to say, we loved working with her and she was so talented so we booked her for our wedding day!Our wedding was December 10, 2016, at Hale Koa Hotel.She made the planning process easy, and was responsive through both email and text messages. I will not lie and say that she responds IMMEDIATELY, but to you future brides...understand that all your vendors will have lives of their own too, so be patient in waiting for your responses. Rachel typically replied within a day, or at the very latest two. But, I was so confident in her abilities and trusted her based off our engagement shoot, so I knew she would get back to me as soon as she could and I honestly wasn't too worried.On the day of our wedding, Rachel and her assistant made things flow very smoothly. We wanted to do table shots, and they were good about keeping people moving so that we weren't stuck talking with everyone for too long, as we had a LOT of table shots to do and still keep our timeline on track.

Rachel did such an amazing job capturing our surprise engagement in Oahu on 9/21/2017. The pictures came out beautiful, and she was able to turn them around exceptionally fast without sacrificing any quality. Everyone loved the pictures, but more importantly my fiancee did. In planning a surprise proposal in Oahu from San Diego, I was really looking for someone with great customer service, and Rachel delivered! She was phenomenal throughout the entire process, starting from the first e-mail, to the several lengthy phone calls to discuss the logistics. As for the shoot itself, she was able to capture every moment without giving anything away, largely in part to her beautiful little 2 year old decoy.

If it was possible to give 7/5 stars, I WOULD.  We scheduled for her 6 hour service, which earns one free hour, and she also utilized two shooters, (Herself and a partner) which allowed for SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PICS.  We just received our photo pack and we are so happy with the results.  Beautiful pictures that will forever embody are day are already so worth it, but we truly feel she went above and beyond her calling.  I am the first of our sisters to get married, so she gave a lot of advice about the event in terms of procedure and even little things that we might have forgotten (My train when coming down the aisle for example, fixing and pinning the dress up, coaching my party and family, working brilliantly with my planner etc.) and even when the inevitable hoard of cell phone cameras and jump ons (Oh YOU TOO, COME ON JUMP IN THIS PICTURE!) came, she maintained a professional composure that kept both my husband and I at ease.  And her coaching during our photo sessions was smooth sailing in both humorous and romantic pics.  I will never hesitate to recommend her services to anyone searching and her prices are MORE THAN WORTH IT.  Words fail to convey how thankful we are to have gone with her service!

Rachel Robertson is phenomenal and I HIGHLY recommend hiring her for the following reasons:
Complete peace of mind. If you want high quality, very professional and original photos tailored to your unique needs, look no further. Not only did Rachel exceed my expectations but I can’t tell you how many times not only friends and family, but random people have literally gone out of their way to tell me how phenomenal my photos were. I originally hired her to do my engagement photos, but since then have hired her to shoot my wedding, family parties and a pregnancy shoot. It’s been a year since my wedding and people STILL talk about how cool, romantic and fun all of my photos were! :)

Her easy going, “put you at ease” personality. One of the reasons why Rachel is able to take such amazing photos is because she immediately puts you at ease. She takes great care to listen to what YOU wish to accomplish, and then talks you through the steps in order to make you comfortable enough to relax and just have fun in front of the camera. My fiancé, now husband, was very nervous about taking pictures, but after five minutes with Rachel, we were able to shake off the nerves and just have a good time with each other. Taking photos with Rachel is such a fun and enjoyable experience!

She puts YOU first and makes you feel like the most important person in the world. On my wedding day I did not have a care in the world because I knew I was in good hands with Rachel. To be honest, my wedding coordinator was not very good, but it was Rachel who took care to pick the rice out of my hair after running through the wedding tunnel, or was constantly and carefully adjusting things ‘just so,’ so that I was always presenting my best self. She made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world, and I often joked that she was more of my wedding coordinator than my real one was.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Rachel is and if we could give over 5 stars we would. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Not only is she a brilliant photographer, but she's a wonderful person. We've gotten to work her twice: once at our engagement photo shoot while we were visiting in March and at our wedding just last week. My new husband and I have never had professional photos done previously so we were a bit nervous, but she managed to set us at ease with her sense of humor and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She encouraged us to move naturally, offered honest feedback, and gave helpful tips to avoid awkward poses producing better pictures. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond. My husband's bowtie had been undone just prior to the ceremony and once it was retied she tweaked it to ensure that it was perfect. She even hopped in to fix my hair after the initial lily had been badly beaten up by the wind during the ceremony at our outdoor venue. She pinned a new flower in my hair and even added hair spray to ensure that it photographed well. Her attention to detail is impeccable not only highlighting us in the image but using the environment to build the perfect story. (She's not afraid to get in the sand or water to capture an image). Her usage of light and texture make the images interesting and aesthetically pleasing. We can't wait to see how our wedding pictures came out. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable, Rachel! More...

My wife and I recently married at Sunset Ranch on 6.10.2016. Rachel was our photographer throughout the day, and an absolute delight to work with. She by far exceeded our expectations.

Our planning process was made simple with Rachel from the beginning. She was one of the first vendors we met with as we knew our photographer was a very important part of capturing our day and all the memories to come. Not only did she help guide the process, she also directed us to other wonderful vendors such as our hair/makeup consultant. Rachel was very responsive through both email and text, which can be very helpful for two busy brides.

On the day of our wedding, Rachel helped with the flow and timeline of each part. She was organized and assisted the coordinator. She brought an assistant who captured areas we were not able to see, including cocktail hour and parts of the reception when we were doing our couple's photos. All of our bridal party immediately connected with her passionate and outgoing personality. She made people smile (which is always helpful for photos) and really made the entire photography process seamless and easy. Rachel was compassionate to our personal desires to make the day even more perfect. She spent time photographing us with our families, friends, and even our fur-family, Mr. Sam. She went above and beyond to capture part of the ceremony including butterflies in remembrance of Jenna S' mother-of-the-bride.

The final pieces were absolutely remarkable. Every photo was perfect. I cannot depict our appreciation in words and the passion Rachel has for her trade. She really has an eye for photography. Jenna and I recommend her without any hesitancy to someone who is looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations and connect on a personal level. Many Mahalos to Rachel Robertson for her hard work, dedication, and passion toward the art of the wedding industry.

In my opinion photography is one of the most important vendors you can choose for you wedding. If your wedding looks amazing but your photographer is subpar, all of that effort and coordination won't be captured in the way that you want. And really, while the other parts of the wedding were part of that day, you'll have the photos forever! So needless to say photography was a priority for us and Rachel was everything we were looking for! She was very responsive from the beginning and extremely professional. I was planning my wedding from the mainland so I wasn't able to meet her in person beforehand, but she was so sweet and i immediately felt at ease! I had complete faith in Rachel to get the shots that we needed and she totally did. Taking group pictures (which can be crazy and last forever) was really easy because Rachel knew exactly how to orchestrate it. Since I didn't really have a "vision" for my photos I really relied on Rachel's expertise to have varied and dynamic shots and they were all stunning. I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel to anyone!!!

We also had a trash the dress session booked and Rachel kindly accommodated two session’s one at Waimanalo Beach and Makapu’u for some beach shots and underwater shots.

Rachel is exceptionally friendly and professional at the same time. From the beginning she worked closely with us and our shot list to get the most out of her and our time. She was a pleasure to work with even on the busiest of days, our wedding. She moved shots along smoothly with both us and all of our guests, even coordinating her shoot with a videographer without trouble. With Rachel everything was smooth, and her work added in so many ways to our big day. Thank you Rachel! More...

I've done several photo sessions with Rachel and have loved them all. Most recently we did a maternity shoot followed by a newborn session. Rachel captured images of my baby girl that I will forever cherish. Rachel is really easy to work with and always exceeds my expectations. The turn around time for photo editing is super quick too, which when you have an exciting event happen, you can't wait to relive the experience with photos! I would highly recommend Rachel Robertson Photography to any savvy consumer looking for high quality, highly professional work. More...

We loved working with Rachel. She has a brilliant eye and was very easy going but still able to herd cats and get everything done when we needed to hurry up a little bit because of the weather - all without seeming rushed or taking anything away from the party. She got great photos and lots of photos of even the most reluctant and camera shy guys. ;) We have so many good photos to choose from that we still have not been able to decide what to put on our walls. But we have a beautiful wedding album that she put together for us (since again we could not decide on photos). We would recommend her to anyone! More...

We were very blessed that we were able to have Rachel capture our special day. Rachel and her team were absolutely incredible. When we were looking for a photographer, we really wanted to have someone that we felt comfortable with and as soon as we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit! We were beyond pleased with our photos from start to finish! Rachel captured so many special moments and the pictures were positively beautiful. I didn’t have a videographer so I wanted my pictures to be amazing and Rachel did just that. We are so happy that she was there to capture every special moment! Rachel and her team are professional, warm and absolutely outstanding. We highly recommend that you include Rachel and her team as part of your special day! More...

Rachel was absolutely amazing!!! From the first time we met she made me feel so comfortable. We had a 7 hour package and I would highly recommend it! ! The whole day from start to finish was captured and the finished product was out of this world!!! I was so so happy with the photos they were beautiful. Rachel captured so many special moments we had and I didn't even know she had taken them. I would also recommend doing a trash the dress shoot with Rachel as I love them just as much as the wedding :). I have had so many of the guests raving about how good the photos were and all had so many nice words to say about Rachel and her team. Would highly recommend, ten out of ten!!! More...

Rachel was our photographer for our September 1st 2015 wedding and she was amazing! She arrived on time and ready to, making the most of the four hours together. Even though we had never met before that day my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with her. At the end of our session I asked if it would be possible to have a just couple pictures ready within a few weeks so that we could display them at the reception we were having on September 26th. She said it wouldn't be a problem- we were blown away when she emailed me ten days later to say all of our photos were ready! They are stunning and such a great reminder of that special day. Rachel is professional, has great communication and her prices were right on. We look forward to working with Rachel again in the future and we highly recommend her services! More...

Rachel shot our engagement and wedding photos, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Five stars across the board, and gorgeous photos to cherish forever. Our wedding was the day after a big storm, and my indoor/outdoor venue had to be tarped (ugly blue tarp!) and the weather was super hot and humid... I was so worried about all the pictures looking blue-tinted, tacky, and sweaty, but Rachel made miracles happen. I absolutely LOVE the photos from out wedding. BIG MAHALO, Rachel!! More...
