Stylish, wildly talented, fun to collaborate with, and freaking fabulous. That's how I would describe Rachel. Rachel was the second shooter to my wedding, and I was thrilled that she brought the element of randomness silliness to the event. The captures amazing moments, and she has an amazing talent of keeping people at ease while keeping the subjects in check when they are attempting to exhibit unruly behavior *ahem, groomsmen*. I am esctatic to have her there capturing one of the most important days of my life. And here's my PSA announcement: I cannot stress enough how important it is to put photography in general in a bigger part of your wedding budget. People eat the cake, forget about the decor, and some don't even remember the awesome time the DJ created for the party because they blacked out hitting the bar too hard. But your photos are forever, and the photographer has ONE SHOT to make it perfect. It is the only vendor service that appreciates over the course of time (if you stay married that is, so may the 50% odds be ever in your favor). So if you love Rachel's type of work, hire her, you'll be super duper happy you did when you whip out that wedding album to walk down memory lane. read more

I can't say enough good things about the experience we had working with Rachel for our engagement and wedding photos. Throughout the entire experience she was professional, responsive, and a ton of fun to work with. It was clear that Rachel cared very genuinely about capturing wonderful photos of us and our wedding day. Working with her was both energizing and joyful, and by the end of the day she and her assistant Marissa were practically part of our bridal party! When we got our final set of photos back we were so happy with the result and now have an amazing collection of memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you Rachel! read more

Rachel Capil Photography - Wedding portrait - Photographers Near Me

Whether high fashion, commercial or personal, Rachel has an amazing eye and touch. Her ability to capture the essence of the person or place being featured is amazing. Rachel quickly engages and connects with subjects and always seems to catch the perfect moment that so many others I have had to work with always "just" miss. Rachel's approach is warm and exuberant while her production, setup and goals are no-nonsense. Rachel's experience as a launching make-up artist for Calvin Klein cosmetics amplifies her understanding of contour and texture under different lighting conditions and in relation to final medium -- a huge asset to have on set. Her artistry also reflects in her editing skills -- which is a mainstream weakness among the current photography generation. I've referred Rachel to many design clients only receiving astounding feedback -- and I rarely make referrals. And she always makes target dates with days to spare. read more

As other reviews state, Rachel is the absolute best. She was referred to us by a friend and she met every single expectation we had, and then exceeded it. I was very nervous the morning of my wedding but knew that Rachel would be an exciting and calming presence. Her prices are incredibly reasonable. Her personality is vibrant, friendly, upbeat, and welcoming. We had Jose as her second shooter at our wedding and he was fabulous as well. We have only seen our sneak peek photos so far and they are amazing. Cannot wait to see the rest. Book Rachel Capil for your wedding and she will add so much to your big day!! read more

Rachel is amazing! She photographed our wedding in March, I still look at my pictures and think how she made my day. The photos are gorgeous!!! When i talked to Rachel on the phone she completely made me feel like we were old friends (I didn't feel like that with any other photographers.) She cared more about what i wanted and how to make me happy then other photographers. I could see that photography is her passion and that it isnt all about money. Meeting before the wedding she made me very comfortable (me - girl who doesn't like taking pictures and judges them very harshly) I asked Rachel a ton of questions and she answered very directly, (I found many other photographers tried to take advantage of me). She worked with my budget. :) Which i thank her for greatly. SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY During the wedding, she was very professional but I felt like a friend was taking pictures of the groom and I. She was also very respectful to all the family members who wanted to be in every picture. I wanted a photographer who would take lead but also give us to space to do our own thing... she did just that!!! I am so grateful she was wedding photographer. It doesn't matter where you live in the bay area ... HIRING HER IS WORTH IT!!!! read more

Rachel is amazing!!! After working on some professional projects together, I knew that she would become my favorite personal photographer as well. Her ability to capture the "perfect" shot(s) is undeniable. Rachel has managed to find the balance of light and contrast no matter where we have shot our pictures, and on top of that bring out the personality of who she is photographing, which is no easy task...my husband hates having his picture taken, my son is never still...and yet our pictures are always stunning!! On top of that, she has such an easygoing personality to work with, and making the shoot feel natural and fun, no cheesy posing or generic theme, never feeling forced. I can't say enough about how awesome of a photographer she is and I am so thankful to have her capture so many milestones of my life, I adore Rachel!! read more

Rachel is an AMAZING photographer. She has done two shoots with my son one when he was 4 and the other 5. My son is the love of my life but he barely stays still and at times can be a holy terror. Rachel kept up with him and got the most amazing pictures. He feels comfortable with her and I know that the pictures turn out great. I would HIGHLY recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

I worked a wedding with Rachel a few months ago. She was amazing. Such a delight to work with. Her attitude is flawless.

Her photos were amazing and did such a beautiful job capturing an extremely special day. I would highly recommend her services. read more

Rachel is awesome. She got lovely pictures with a minimum amount of fuss, and instead of feeling like I was forcing myself to smile, I really was smiling and enjoying myself. She clearly has a good eye and knows what works. This is so much better than just run of the mill studio photography. An absolute professional with real talent. read more

Rachel photographed our wedding and we couldn't be more pleased. She was amazing! Patient, helpful, considerate, funny, direct and a true artist. She met with us for an initial consultation and we instantly knew we wanted to hire her, she has great energy and she was full of ideas. She followed up with an email and contract the next day. We met with her two weeks before the wedding to review the shots we wanted and where we might get them in the hotel. Rachel went the following weekend and met with our coordinator at the Palace to scout the entire location. She was so well prepared! Before the wedding she knew just what to say to keep us calm, coax a smile or get us to laugh. We are thrilled with our photos, they are beautiful. I highly recommend Rachel, she is the best! read more

Rachel and her assistant recently photographed our wedding in Carmel Valley. They did an amazing job coordinating pictures and managing their time to insure we got the most and best photos without sacrificing time with our guests. Rachel took her time before the wedding to call me a few times to make sure we had a game plan set up for the wedding day so it went smoothly! I had many people compliment me on my photographer choice and I couldn't have agreed with them more. Rachel made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which made taking pictures natural and fun. The pictures Rachel took were amazing and I'm so happy we had her a part of our day! I would definitely recommend hiring her as your photographer! read more

My wife and I are so happy that we chose Rachel to photograph our wedding! She was great to work with -- she listened carefully to us and worked with us to stay in the flow of the wedding, instead of trying to impose her own system. For example, we wanted to spend as much time as possible with our guests, not away from them taking a lot of formal photos. In fact, we started out not wanting any posed photos. But Rachel understood our concern and worked with us to set up a quick (less than 15 minutes) formal photo session just before the wedding ceremony. The resulting photos were fantastic -- the posed photos, the ceremony photos, the reception photos. Rachel has a fantastic eye, and managed to capture the joy and fun of our wedding celebration. We will treasure her photos forever! STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

We love Rachel! Our assistant identified her talent and we hired her for a lifestyle shoot and we could not be more pleased with her professionalism, talent and our finished product. We'll definitely hire Rachel again and again. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said? Rachel is AMAZING! I hired her to photograph my wife's 40th surprise birthday party - what a fantastic choice. Rachel was able to accommodate us and made a site inspection prior to the date. She arrived right on time and what I expected to be a 15 minute look, turned into a 1 hour chat with a new friend. She arrived on time for our event, captured the unveiling of the surprise perfectly, and did a seamless job of integrating with the party. Rachel is friendly, warm and engaging - but just as importantly - does FANTASTIC work. Within a few short days, we had an email with a link to a slideshow presentation complete with music. Very shortly afterward, we received the DVD with the slideshow and the edited photo's. The pictures all turned out better than I could have imagined - making the event truly shine. My wife has watched the slideshow - literally - dozens of times. Thank you Rachel for the wonderful work you did for us. :) read more

Rachel was incredible to work with. She has photographed family pictures for my family and I on three occassions and they always come out looking outstanding. She is phenomenal with kids and she is amazing at getting my young kids to smile and giggle. Rachel really created some magic with her photos that whole family enjoys looking at everyday!! By far and away she has been the best photographer to work with for us and look forward to working with her again! read more
