Rachelle is fantastic! She’s a total pro, very creative, and just plain fun to shoot with. My husband and I had a blast with her during our sunset couples photos at the Twenty Mile House and she got the BEST shots throughout the entire day as well. She has got it all down to science in terms of perfecting when to shoot the groomsmen vs bridesmaids, nails getting the pretty smile shots AND the more organic candid ones (my fav!).

Not only was she a pleasure to spend the day with, she is extremely responsive over email, went out of her way to give us little sneak peaks pretty darn quickly after the wedding, and everything in terms of delivery of the shots later on was well-organized and easy.

She captured the essence of the day and our relationship as a couple perfectly. Now we have more than just a nice photo, we have the ability to relive our favorite moments together forever.

I could not recommend her enough! You can’t go wrong with Rachelle. We are SO grateful for her.

We used Composing Reality for our wedding at Twenty Mile House in July. Rachelle was a pleasure to work with. Her style is to mostly stay in the background and capture the day as it happens, but she was accessible and gave great advice when needed. This is something we really appreciated about her. We are very happy with all of our photos, and even received them ahead of her predicted timeline, which was an amazing surprise!

Rachelle is fantastic! She is an expert with time management to ensure you get all the shots you want, and yet also incredibly patient with wedding parties full of lollygaggers and a sun that won't cooperate 🙂 Her warmth and expertise made me feel totally confident letting her take the lead and tell us what will look best. She is fearless and willing to traipse around the forest and river to get the perfect (and precarious!) shots. And she was FAST getting our photos back to us! We were honored to have her capture our forever and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Rachelle!!!

Rachelle was absolutely amazing. She shot both of our engagement and wedding sessions, which allowed us to get to know her before our big day. Other than taking gorgeous pictures, Rachelle is super nice, helpful, and accommodating during sessions. She has a way of perfectly capturing the moment without distraction! 10/10 would recommend her!

Rachelle Elliott from Composing Reality was phenomenal to work with! High praise and recommendations from Twenty Mile House!

She worked along side 32 Degrees Media and I couldn't say how perfect they worked with, and alongside, one another! If you book one, definitely book the other!

Rachelle was able to capture many beautiful moments, during our unplugged ceremony, our photoshoot, the reception, speeches, you name it! All of our photographs were beautiful! She knows how to capture a scene with the best angles, lighting, and people!

I wish I could give Rachelle a higher review!

Thank you Rachelle Elliott from Composing Reality!

Rachelle was absolutely AMAZING to work with!! Not only did she help guide me before the wedding, she helped out during the entire event. Even my family commented on how much she looked like she fit in with our group and that she looked like she was having as much fun as the guests.

Her pictures are stunning! We are so happy with the way she captured our day. She was able to high-light special moments between all of our guests. One thing I didn't realize during the wedding was that I hardly even noticed where she was moving around taking pictures. I never felt like she was intruding, yet we loved all of the pictures she took.

Rachelle is so easy to work with and very easy going. I highly recommend her!

Rachelle effortlessly documented our dream wedding day. She was familiar with our venue—Twenty Mile House. The pictures she took are absolutely incredible and she was a delight to work with in person. She was friendly and organized. Family photos did not take long due to her efficiency. More than that, she was excited about taking pictures and it was evident that she loves her craft. It was an honor to work with her.

Just got our pictures back from our wedding at Twenty Mile House and I couldn't be happier with the results!! Rachelle is incredible and got so many details of the wedding day that I will now be able to look back on forever. She also did our engagement pictures and both times we got the pictures back very quickly! She is the best!
