About

Meet Rachel! 👋 She is a wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the heartbeat of your wedding day. Her work is bright, bold, and focused on the raw, honest, and natural moments that make each celebration unique.

Rachel has always marched to the beat of her own drum—a fact her bright hair and tattoos might give away—and she wants her couples to feel the freedom to do the same. She believes in documenting real connection over the "perfect" shot, knowing the best memories aren’t scripted. Rachel looks for the moments that make you catch your breath and say, "That is so us."

In front of her lens, the only pose required is being yourself!
