Beautiful romantic photos

Rachelle has captured many important moments in our life. Our first family photos after having our first child, maternity/family photos for baby 2, and newborn photos of baby 2 as well. She never fails to deliver beautiful and natural looking photos. In between all of our babies, we asked Rachelle to capture our wedding. She wasn't photographing weddings at this time, but was more than willing to be a part of this special day with us. Every moment was captured so beautifully. Poses never felt forced, and it was easy for everyone to be themselves infront of the camera. Our photos really show this. Rachelle is so easy going and really makes you feel relaxed in any setting. She is so talented! You will not be disappointed!

Rachelle to the rescue!

Rachelle came to the rescue after having to fire our original photographer. She was such a dream to work with and we are so happy with our decision to hire her. My husband and I have received so many compliments not only on her photos but also her professionalism. She was great at directing and encouraged many laughs. I can't wait to work with her again as she is also an amazing newborn photographer.

We first got to see Rachelle in action at my cousin's wedding and she was fantastic! Her pictures were beautiful and we couldn't wait to work with her. She was quick to respond to emails, was fantastic to work with for our engagement shots which we loved and needless to say we are incredibly happy with our wedding pictures. She took amazingly classic and beautiful pictures and she was great to work with. She made us incredibly relaxed, we were so happy to just let her do what she does best and we were blown away by the results.

Rachelle and her team were a dream to work with. She was extremely professional and passionate about her job. We were thrilled to see our pictures and have had countless compliments regarding how beautiful they are. Our edited pictures from our wedding day were ready in 2 weeks, I swear! She knew exactly how to pose us, and was brilliant at getting our "good angles". Anyone lucky enough to have their pictures shot by Rachelle will have timeless and beautiful memories to last lifetimes to come.

From the first time I contacted Rachelle she was professional, kind and prompt. Juggling the different aspects of planning, communicating with different people and services, Rachelle's prompt responses to every email were refreshing. She made the entire process easy. Rachelle guided us through the steps from consultation, contract to our wedding day schedule. We had a limited budget so Rachelle created a package for us that allowed us to hire her for our wedding day and still stay in budget. She helped us to create a wedding-day schedule that would utilize her time with us best to ensure that we received coverage of all the most important aspects of our day. Rachelle's flexibility and guidance ensured that we received exactly what we wanted.

On the wedding day we received many comments about how creative and personable our photographers were. The final product, our wedding pictures, displays the professionalism and creativity that Rachelle possesses and we are extremely grateful. I would recommend Rachelle Rousseau to any couple that is looking for photography services from a talented, creative and flexible professional.

Rachelle's talent blew me away years ago when she did a photo shoot or me and my siblings. She was able to capture all of the things that make our family so unique and fun! And so, when I got engaged, I knew hands down Rachelle just had to be my wedding photographer. She was wonderful throughout the entire process, from start to finish. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. Rachelle and her family surprised us on our wedding day by building an entire photo set in their backyard. It was based on the story of how my husband and I first met, working for a summer student painting company. We were blown away by the amount of work they put into building this creative and personal setup for us! The end result was the most fun and unique wedding photos I have ever seen! On top of feeling spoiled by that special setup on our wedding day, Rachelle also shot another very important day for us. My grandfather was supposed to be the officiant at our wedding, but had been diagnosed with cancer a few months prior. We knew he didn't have much time left with us. We held a small ceremony at the hospital where he gave us his blessing, and Rachelle came and caught all of those special memories for us. It was the most emotional day of my life, and my family will be forever grateful to Rachelle for agreeing to come, on such short notice, to photograph such an important day. Such a talented photographer, with an amazing creative eye for detail, and a huge heart. If you haven't booked a session with her yet, do it. I promise that after just one session you will be wanting to come back for another!

Rachelle is hands down the best vendor choice that we made throughout the process of planning our wedding. From our initial meeting with her she made us feel comfortable and at ease - definitely qualities that you want in a wedding photographer. Her roster of work is incredible, so artistic and quirky and made us feel that we could trust her to just do her thing without worrying that our photos would not turn out.

Our engagement session with her was so much fun. Not only did she scout all of the locations, but it felt like going on an afternoon with a friend. The photos blew us away, and multiple people commented that they had never seen such beautiful and different engagement photos. Up until our wedding day Rachelle was easy to get in contact with, helpful with what to expect for the day and incredibly flexible. She was a dream to work with and I cannot wait to be mesmerized when we get our wedding photos back.

Rachelle is simply an amazingly talented photographer. She has such a creative eye, always producing beautifully unique photos with each client she has the pleasure to work with. I have recommended her services to family, friends and co-workers and she has always delivered fabulous work and left her clients beyond happy, to say the least.

Rachelle and her team shot our engagement session last August and our wedding last October and I was so relieved knowing she was there to capture our day perfectly. We couldn't have been happier with our photos, her attention to detail when editing our favourite images, and our overall experience with Rachelle and her amazing team.

You only have one wedding and one day to capture perfectly. I would recommend Rachelle Rousseau photography to any future brides :)

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Lara and Jordan xo
