De La Vue

I hired De la Vue based upon a recommendation from a family member. As an out of state bride, I was really nervous about finding a photographer. From the very first interaction that I had with Rachel, I knew that she was going to do an absolutely wonderful job and that I had nothing to worry about. Rachel and I had a couple of lengthy phone conversations where we discussed what I wanted and the vision for me wedding. I met Rachel and her husband, Rob, (her second shooter/​assistant) in real life, for the first time a couple of days before the wedding. In addition to hiring Rachel for our wedding, we also hired her to do an engagement shoot. My husband and I wanted to do something a little quirky and we wanted to have the shoot at the State Fair. Rachel was more than happy to accommodate. But, as the date got closer, we realized that the weather wasn’t going to cooperate with us. So, we changed the venue to The Conservatory at Como Park. This really worked out for the best. Our photos are stunning! Words can not describe how truly beautiful our photos are! Rachel and Rob knew that we still wanted that quirky flare to our photos so after we finished at The Conservatory, they suggested a second shooting location. It was so very nice of them to spend more than our allotted time with us to make sure that we had everything that we wanted. We really got the best of both worlds from this photo shoot. We also had such a fun time with Rachel and Rob that day! Rachel and Rob are warm, friendly, down to Earth, and talented! You can’t ask for anything more. We really felt like we were hanging out with friends. After the photo shoot at The Conservatory, we were really excited for them to shoot our wedding just a couple of days later.
At our wedding, Rachel and Rob pulled out all the stops. I had some really demanding things that I wanted photographs of — like night photos near a bonfire and night photos under twinkle lights. Rachel made sure that I got photos of absolutely everything that I wanted on my wedding day. And… to make us feel even extra special, Rachel and Rob brought us a super amazing gift basket, framed photo of us from The Conservatory photo shoot, and the DVD with our photos from The Conservatory photo shoot. It made us feel so very special! Again, we really felt like Rachel and Rob weren’t just our photographers but our friends.
We just got our photos from the wedding — it only took them about a month — YAY! I can’t even explain how happy I am with them! They are seriously the best photos that I have ever seen! I couldn’t be happier with the way that everything turned out!
Even though we live all the way in California, we will be using De la Vue, again, in the future!
If you want amazing photos and a great experience, hire De la Vue!

Rachel did some headshots of me and a few fun candids of my family while travelling. Her work is beautiful and thoughtful and she is a great person to work with. I definitely recommend!
