I asked questions on top of questions. I was THAT bride. Rocheal was incredibly receptive to any and all correspondence, photography related or not. Not to mention, she basically ran our entire wedding day. And she did it like a boss.

"It's hard for me to put into words what Rocheal meant to me as our wedding photographer. "

Hope & Evan

She is friendly, communicative and extremely talented... We had a few logistics issues at the start of our day... She helped us feel at ease and never missed a beat. I have never felt so beautiful... She captured moments between our family. You can feel the emotion just looking at the photos!!

"The best decision we made...We felt like her only clients."

Erin & Hampton

We had THE MOST extraordinary experience... Not only is she incredibly talented behind the lens, but her warm and personable nature made the entire process AMAZING!!! Five stars just doesn’t seem like enough to express our gratitude for her exceptional work!

"From start to finish she was an absolute DREAM to work with!!"

Christina & John

My initial meeting with her was SO great. We spent 2 HOURS talking. If you want someone on YOUR side throughout the whole process, it’s HER! I’m trying to figure out what other life changes I can go through and get Rocheal to be my photographer again.

"I planned my other vendors around Rocheal"

Corinne & Michael

We didn't think so...
