Rachael, Mike and I absolutely love the pictures you took of our wedding. You captured the day beautifully - the details you caught and artistry were just fantastic. You were so helpful that day and really put my mind at ease, because I knew I could trust you to produce wonderful pictures. Throughout the entire process, you were very professional and super-easy to work with. I have already referred someone to you and will continue to do so. Everyone should be so lucky to work with a great photographer and person such as yourself. Thank you for everything!

Hi Rachael!
Love your new site, how exciting to have it up now. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with you. We, and our family and friends, are so happy with all of the photos. The photos you took told a beautiful story about our wedding day. And you and Caryn were everywhere! Thanks so much! Cheers-Amanda & Anthony

Rachael,
You've been THE favorite since I met you at Mike and Caryn's wedding. Then you took wonderful photos at my sister's wedding, and then portraits of her son, then photos of his birthday party and then portraits again! Any time I hear someone is getting married, I pass the web address along and hope they're smart enough to go with you! Everyone in the Metropolitan Imageworks is highly talented and professional. Our family will always look to you for every event we can! Thank you for everything!

Hi Rachel,
You photographed Jerry and I for our wedding about 3 years ago at the Irish Oak Pub in Wrigglyville. Jerry and I moved to Kansas City, MO 1 year ago with our daughter - Madeline. We are packing to move into our house and I was going through my wedding file. Just wanted to let you know we still love our photographs! It was a magical day and you did a fantastic job. Hope all is going well with you and your business. Take care-
Becky

Rachael!
Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. I can't wait to see the proofs -- I'm sure they will be amazing. But I wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful addition to the group. From helping the bridesmaids with dresses to helping to cheer me up when the rain came pouring down... You made the entire day much more fun. Thanks to you and your entire staff for making a very special day a very PERFECT one! All of the girls and guys LOVED you and wished you were there for THEIR weddings! Thanks again -- can't wait to see the pictures! :)

Rachael,
Just wanted to say thank you again for everything you did for Kels's wedding. Pictures are one of the most dreadful parts of a wedding but they are so important. You made it fun for all of us and I just wanted to say thanks! Also, you tie an awesome bow!! :)

Rachael, we just LOVE our pictures!!! Our family and friends loved your work as did we. Those who were not able to attend said that you really did a terrific job capturing the feel, the mood, the joy and the essence of the people at our wedding. My cousin who got married not too long ago in
San Diego was totally envious because her wedding photos weren't even a fraction as good as ours were. She actually hates their pictures. Nothing could be further from the truth for us. We consider ourselves lucky to have had you for our photographer because you did a WONDERFUL job! Talk to you soon!

Rachael photographed my boyfriend in action with his turntables and now he has used many of these awesome pictures on his DJ website (www.peterhaze.com) and on promotional fliers. Racheal also took some cute random pictures of just me and my boyfriend. These are pictures to always treasure and when the day comes, I know who my wedding photographer is! Thanks Rachael, still can't get enough of looking at them!

Love her, love her, love her!!! My husband, Brad, and I got our pictures May 27 for our May 1 wedding and they were awesome. Rachael caught every moment with perfection. Everyone at the reception and in the bridal party loved her personality and her pictures. I've looked at them at least 20 times in the last week!!! She's such a talent.

My husband and I recently picked up our photos and were absolutely amazed with Rachael's work. She captured more in her photos than a video ever could. Not to mention she is a great spirit, fun and professional. My friends and family loved her. Rachael, you are truly talented. Thank you!

The website does not do justice to the wonderful work that we had done for our wedding. We are having a difficult time picking out the best pictures because there are so many. We have and will in the future give Rachael our recommendation.
