Rachael Shrum Photography

We had an excellent experience working with Rachael for our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both a bit camera shy but Rachael and her partner/assistant Luke made the experience so fun and memorable. Our photos were all we could have dreamed of and more! On the wedding day Rachael and Luke captured all the important moments beautifully. I really enjoyed their style of hanging in the background to capture the candid moments, but also providing enough direction to get all the photos in quickly and efficiently so we could enjoy the day. We can’t recommend them enough… such a joy to work with.

Wow just wow! Rachael is absolutely amazing. Not only is she wonderful to work with but her pictures are just stunning and timeless. I can’t possibly express how much we love the photos. She made it extremely difficult for us to pick favourites because we love every single picture. The only solution I can see is getting a bigger house to have more wall space for pictures, haha. I really had no idea after seeing the previews (which came so unbelievably fast!) how we could possibly be given even more pictures to love but Rachael has proven that it is completely possible. I can’t tell you how many people already have complimented the ones they have seen. As 2 people who hate having our pictures taken I am just stunned at how amazing they all are. Having her and Luke was like having friends with us throughout the whole wedding day it was easy to feel relaxed. Highly highly recommend if we could give 10 stars we would!

Effortless, stunning documentation of our wedding.Listen. If you’re still searching for a photographer, look no further than Rachael Shrum. If you have a specific shot list and know exactly what you want, Rachael is the one for you. If you’re like us and are awkward in front of a camera and have no idea what you want, Rachael is still the one for you. We were drawn to her based on a recommendation from a friend and the value of her services but am writing this review based on how easy she made the process and how perfectly she captured our wedding.Rachael was professional yet personal. She took the time to grab a beer with us months before our wedding to get to know us. On the day-of she arrived early and was already scouting out the property for potential shots. By the time we got there she had already figured out the lighting for both the ceremony and reception space. We were very nervous getting our photo taken but she made everything so easy. Rachael also managed to corral our entire family to give a perfect group shot. My only regret is that we didn’t book her for longer.I cannot stress how impressed I am with Rachael (see some photos below). If I could afford to hire one person to follow me around the rest of my life documenting my every action, I would choose her. If civilization ever crumbles, i only hope that a new species 3000 years from now stumbles upon her collection so they can see how beautiful our world was.

Rachael is exceptional! She did an incredible job for our wedding, rehearsal dinner & engagement photos - we couldn't be happier with the photos and her service from start to finish!We highly recommend her services!

We can't thank Rachael enough for her phenomenal work capturing our wedding day. She made even the challenges - large family photos and the surprizes of the day - look easy, and we are so happy with the outcome! She managed to capture the emotions of the day so perfectly that we can look back at our photos and feel like we are re-living the day all over again. The quality and variety of photos are stunning. Rachael's easy-going and professional nature made us feel natural in front of the camera....needless to say, we highly, HIGHLY recommend working with Rachael!

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Rachael despite the threatening weather. She was great about communicating options and being prepared to get us the best photos. Also, neither of us is generally comfortable in front of a camera but she was wonderful about guiding us. Plus Rachael is a great hiking guide!As for the pictures themselves - they are absolutely stunning and we couldn't be more happy with the result!! We will treasure them (and use them for family calendars...) for many, many years to come.All our thanks for a wonderful experience & simply beautiful photos!

Rachael you captured our day SO perfectly. Everyone who viewed the photos said they conveyed the experience of our wedding so well. We cannot thank you or recommend you highly enough.

I would happily recommend Rachael to anyone. I worked with her in a professional capacity to shoot a commercial space that I had designed. She’s a creative problem solver with a quiet kind of confidence that makes the whole process feel calm, comfortable, and laid back.Rachael Shrum is an incredible photographer and was able to effortlessly capture the story I was hoping to tell. I’d love the chance to work with her again in the future!

From start to finish Rachael was truly AMAZING! Over the span of two years, our wedding was rescheduled twice and our engagement session turned into a maternity shoot. Rachael was beyond accommodating and rolled with the punches! She was very easy to communicate with and did a great job preparing us for the photo session and wedding day. Her humble and relaxed personality is almost infectious (such a calming presence to have on a potentially stressful day).Rachael’s personality paired with her talent gives you the full package! We are so in love with our wedding photos. When we look through our wedding album we are able to relive the day from start to finish. She captured moments both big and small and all the emotions that went along with them. Rachael has an eye for capturing people in their natural element.It was such a pleasure working with Rachael and Luke! Would recommend again and again!

Rachael did such an amazing job at capturing our wedding day. We were blown away at how beautiful the photos were. My husband and I had never done a photoshoot together before so we weren’t sure how natural or comfortable we would look or feel. Rachael made it too easy, her calm presence and warm personality made us forget the cameras were even there. She captured so many candid emotion filled moments! Very talented and a pleasure to be around. Her editing style topped it all off. Amazing!!! Rachel you are the best.
