YOUR DAY IS NOT ABOUT me.
Your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photoshoot.
WHAT MAKES rachel DIFFERENT:
"She always made us feel so comfortable and has been such a joy to work with."
"From our engagement session to our wedding, we’ve been so impressed by the quality of images and organic, beautiful moments she captures."
P+M
"Rachel has a way of creating a safe space for you."
"Her presence is mighty but graceful and she captured photos for us we will forever cherish."
M+A
"Five stars again and again and again..."
"It's hard to put our joy into words about the work that Rachel did. We've had several friends & family comment that these are the best wedding photos they've ever seen (and I tend to agree). You cannot put a price on capturing memories so wonderfully, and we would book Rachel over & over again."

HOW IT WORKS
OUR PROCESS
01
initial meeting
Let's chat over the phone or Zoom to make sure we're a good fit! From there, I'll create a custom proposal based on your needs.
02
booking
To make it official, I require a signed contract and 50% nonrefundable retainer.
03
engagement session
If you booked an engagement session, this is when we'll get to know each other better, and you'll receive beautiful photos for your home and save-the-dates.
04
your wedding
I'll be there every step of the way with a trusted second photographer, ensuring that no moment is missed.
05
final delivery
Six to eight weeks after your wedding, you'll receive your full gallery along with some heirloom prints in the mail.

Do you shoot film or digital?
Both! I find that they compliment each other. It's not unusual to find me with four cameras around my neck on a wedding day!
how many photos will we receive?
I typically deliver 75-100 final images per hour of shooting. So for a ten hour day, you can expect between 750 and 1,000 images.
do you include a second photographer?
Yes! Second photographers are always included, except for smaller weddings and elopements.
DO YOU TRAVEL WITHIN THE US?
Yes! I have photographed couples all across the country and love to travel.
how much posing do you do?
I try to be as hands off as possible. I'll give direction as needed, but it's very minimal. Even couples that claim they're awkward in front of the camera tell me afterwards that it was easier than they expected!
what is required to book?
A signed contract and 50% nonrefundable retainer and I'm all yours!
do you require an engagement session?
I do think they can be helpful so that we can get to know each other, but I don't require them!
can you photograph our welcome party?
Yes! In fact, I prefer to shoot the full weekend's events. This allows me to get to know the people most important to you.
when will we receive our images?
Your final gallery will be delivered 6-8 weeks after your wedding.
If you're looking for effortless, romantic, candid imagery, let's schedule a consultation and see if we're a good fit!
