"The best decision we made was having Rachel as our photographer! She made the day so fun and hyped everyone up. Nothing was staged, it was all natural and she captured us being our true selves. She is quick on her toes finding the perfect backdrops and is truly so sweet throughout the whole wedding process. We couldn’t have asked for more and highly recommend her!"

When my husband and I first met Rachel, it was a total God moment. She saw us on the beach (on our first date) and asked to take our photos. As a fellow photographer, I immediately said yes, and the rest was history. Ever since, she has been one of our biggest supporters, and we have developed such a beautiful friendship! Rachel was my first call when I needed a wedding photographer, and when she said yes to coming to Pensacola, we were so excited!! My husband and I both love her SO much!

Everything about Rachel’s experience was custom to us as a couple! She offered the best tips leading up to our big day and even sent us the sweetest surprise on our 1 month wedding anniversary.

My biggest request was for Rachel to capture the emotions of our wedding day, and she over-delivered!! I have gone through the gallery what feels like 1,000 times, and I truly feel like I can relive the emotions of my wedding day every time I look. I was so disappointed about our foggy and humid weather (humidity ruins my hair), but Rachel made it look soooo dreamy that I ended up falling in love with every photo.

On our wedding day, Rachel was a BOSS. She kept everything on track and wrangled my rowdy crew. Everyone absolutely loved her, but how could you not?! She is one of the kindest humans you’ll ever meet - a literal ray of sunshine!

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Rachel Traxler!! HIRE HER!! You won’t regret it!!

"Seriously one of the sweetest people to work with! I got a work a wedding with Rachel this summer & it was such a great day! As a wedding coordinator I have many logistics I am thinking about throughout the day, working with Rachel made the day go so smooth & brought in so much fun! She brings a warm & light energy that makes you want to be around her. Watching her work behind the scenes, you can see she is very passionate about her work & does it so effortlessly! Not only is she amazing to work with but her work speaks for itself. My jaw dropped when I got to see the photos, she has a such an eye for capturing the feeling in the moment in a photo! I look forward to working with her again & highly suggest any one looking for a photographer that will capture their love story so beautifully to book with Rachel!"

We had a PERFECT wedding photography experience with Rachel and we couldn't be happier. She sent us almost TWO THOUSAND PHOTOS and they are all incredible. Her work is so special and she was just a dream to work with. I would book her again and again and would recommend her to anyone who asks.

From the initial consultation call to the engagement session, our experience with Rachel was top tier. I am a VERY type A bride who dreamed of having her photograph my wedding long before I even met my now fiancé and she truly delivered. Rachel handles everything with grace and ensures her couples are supported with regular check-ins. My fiancé and I were both belly laughing by the end of our session- which says a lot because he absolutely loathes having his photo taken. I had some special shots I wanted and Rachel was more than accommodating… even having our sneak peeks ready less than TWO HOURS after we wrapped up! She captured our personalities in a way that both looks and feels genuine, and we are OBSESSED with our gallery. You will leave your session feeling like you gained a new bestie because you 100% did.

Rachel and her talent is literal perfection. (That sounds dramatic, but it's not!) Her work truly speaks for itself.

Aside from the gorgeous photos, Rachel is a rare gem. Her energy, passion for life, and the commitment she pours into her clients is unmatched. She not only makes time for her clients, but delivers in ways big and small, and truly made us feel so special throughout the entire journey.

Rachel photographed my wedding last month and made our day so very special. Everything about her approach felt natural, un-posed, and so joyful. She does an amazing job of capturing the love and emotion throughout the day in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're the star of a photoshoot- but someone who is enjoying and living in the moment. She captures moments so effortlessly that when we viewed our gallery, I didn't even realize she'd taken half of the pictures she did. Her approach was so intentional and flowed so seamlessly. (And by the way, it took a whole 24 hours before we had TONS of sneak peeks sent to us and only 13 days to get our ENTIRE gallery back...! And we're talking thousands of photos!)

I could write on and on about Rachel and how wonderful her business and team is.

I will recommend Rachel Traxler Photography to everyone forever.
