  • Most important moment of our lives

    Rachael was an absolute gem to work with for our recent vow renewal. From the very first interaction, Rachael was so kind, detailed, and helpful - making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her communication was amazing, and she was incredibly patient with our kids throughout the day, especially with our autistic son. The quality of Rachael's work is truly priceless - the photos she captured are so timeless and beautifully done, and she has a true talent for making you feel at ease in front of the camera. Rachael went above and beyond for us, and we will never forget how special she made our vow renewal feel. This was extremely important to us because my mom is terminally ill and we needed to make this happen quickly. Rachael truly helped create one of the most important days in our lives and we will never forget it. We are so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Rachael Bates Photography was fantastic to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Rachael was friendly, clear, and quick to respond to all of our questions. Her communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Rachael and her team were professional, discreet, and captured all the special moments and the overall vibe of our celebration. The quality of her work is truly high-end and exceeded our expectations. Rachael knew exactly which shots to get without us even having to tell her, and the final photos are absolutely beautiful. We're so happy we chose Rachael Bates Photography to document our special day.

    Wow! If you’re looking for a family photographer who just gets it, look no further – Rachael is your person! She’s not only incredibly talented but also a mom herself, which makes all the difference. She knows exactly how to connect with kids, from toddlers to teens, and honestly, watching her work was like seeing a real-life baby whisperer in action! Our little one usually gets shy around new people, but within minutes, Rachael had her giggling and posing like a pro. The photos turned out beyond beautiful; she captured those perfect, in-between moments that feel so genuine. And as a mom, Rachael just gets the chaos, the excitement, the little moments that mean so much. She made us feel so comfortable, like we were hanging out with a friend who happens to have an incredible eye for capturing memories. The whole experience was fun, easy, and filled with laughs – and the pictures? Absolute magic. Trust me, you’re going to want these memories captured by someone who truly cares. Rachael brings heart, talent, and mom-magic to every shot. Don’t hesitate – book her now! You won’t regret it!

  • From Mom to Mom, PICK HER SHES THE ONE!

    We had the most amazing experience with Rachael as our family photographer! From the moment we met, she made us feel at ease with her warm, friendly energy and genuine passion for capturing special moments. Rachael has a natural talent for working with children, making them laugh and feel comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in truly authentic, joyful photos that we’ll cherish forever. Her attention to detail and creativity blew us away – she noticed the little moments and captured the personalities of each family member perfectly. The entire process was seamless, from booking to receiving the final images, and the quality of the photos was simply breathtaking. Rachael didn’t just take pictures; she captured memories, and we feel so grateful to have these beautiful images to look back on. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family photographer who goes above and beyond – Rachael is truly a gem!
