Rachel Owen from ImageIcon is amazing. She is very fun, creative, organized, and has a very calm demeanor. She is great to work with. We did a «trial» with Rachel for our engagement picture session and immediately liked her. She’s willing to hear your ideas about what kind of shots you want to take and is able to make recommendations for other pictures, too.
Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING. I mean, really, they are so artistic, beautiful, classy and she did a great job capturing all of the «little details» of the day (centerpieces, getting ready for the ceremony, rings, etc.) in just the perfect way. She did all of that without any prompting, too. She just knows what to capture and does it beautifully.
Our wedding was considered «off-​peak-​season», so we were able to just get the photo package and not have to purchase the wedding album. The wedding albums she has available to preview in her studio are very nice, but it’s not something that we were interested in buying, since we didn’t think we would look at it as often as a picture frame on the wall. So it was really nice being able to book Rachel for our wedding day without any other obligation.
She had an assistant (Rob) with her on our wedding day. They worked well together and I had full confidence all day long that things were being handled properly.
Rachel did something that was really amazing, she went well above and beyond with this: She set up a TV and projected pictures from the day (ceremony, parks, wedding party, etc.) on the screen during the reception after dinner. I cannot tell you how many people commented on how great it was to see those pictures! Normally, after the ceremony, you take off with the bridal party and everyone is out of the loop. Not when Rachel is your photographer! Everyone got to see what happened during the day while they were killing time between the ceremony and reception. She did such a great job with this.
I would recommend Rachel and ImageIcon in a heartbeat. There’s a reason ImageIcon is so highly rated. It’s a top notch company with very creative and very skilled photographers. We’re looking forward to using Rachel and ImageIcon again in the future because our experience was that good!

Rachel photographed my wedding in May of 2010 as well my engagement photos. She did a phenomenal job with both. Rachel is one of those people who you can tell is passionate about what she does. For our engagement session she met us in Millennium Park at 6:30 in the morning because that is when the best light is. She told us exactly what to do, and quickly identified perfect spots for the pictures. The photos came out so artistic and unforced, and I was really really happy.
The day of the wedding Rachel started out the morning with me and my bridesmaids at the Sofitel. The way she manipulated the light in the room was incredible. I cannot believe how amazing the pictures truly are. Whenever anyone looks at my album people say I looked like a model… I had no idea what I was doing; it was all Rachel; she’s AMAZING!!! At our eastern orthodox ceremony she captured all the key shots and lots of little special moments that I will forever cherish. Then afterward she was such a trooper and followed my bridal party in a taxi around the city for pics. Again, she did an amazing job coordinating beautiful unpredictable shots of me and my husband and our 12… yes 12, friends. At the reception, she got all the important moments and lots of great candids. Again she used the modern space and lighting of the Sofitel to get beautiful one of a kind shots. She also did an awesome job getting coverage of everyone at the wedding, which was important to our families.
Bottom line… if you’re looking for a photographer with a great disposition, who is professional, and who knows how to get a great balance of the traditional and photojournalistic style photos; you will not find anyone better than Rachel.
