everything you need to know about
wedding & engagement photography
You only get to experience your wedding once, but your photos last a lifetime. As a photographer, it’s my goal to make the process of creating those photos as fun, fast, and relaxing as possible while still making images that bring back all the feelings of love, joy, and happiness for the rest of your life.
I believe the best photos are ones that capture not only how you great you look, but also how happy you feel together. I love beautiful dresses and flowers, but my favorite photos are moments of heartfelt emotion and interaction. I believe weddings are about more than one perfect day, and I want my photos to nurture your love and relationship over a lifetime.
Philosophy
It's true what they say: your memories are only as good as your photos. Hiring Rachael was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding!

Not only is she extremely professional, she is also a lot of fun to work with. Even though we only met in person twice before the wedding day, it was like having a good friend take the photos.

Now that we have our images, they are perfect! The lighting is stunning and she captured both our portraits and the candid moments so well - we will use her work to cherish this day!

From our first look to pictures outside with family to the ceremony itself and after, Rachael kept things running smoothly and got us to be our best selves in our photos.

She was like a ninja during the reception, hiding in the shadows to capture all the best moments. I am truly amazed at the photos she captured because I never felt like she was following us around.

We absolutely adored having Rachael and her assistants at our wedding. On the day of the wedding and for several weeks after, dozens of our guests told us how fabulous they thought our photographer was!

Rachael's work is flawless and she is a true artist. She not only captured the love and emotion perfectly but also was able to photograph unique details about both of these days that has allowed us to look back and relive the memories.

Rachael's photos bring me right back to the day every time I see them. As I look at the images she captured, it's evident that her greatest skill is reading people and being able to predict significant moments as they happen. My favorites are the candid shots.

I believe the relationship between the photographer and the couple is one of the most important factors in creating beautiful images, and I book a limited number of weddings per year so I can give my clients the time, attention, and creative energy they need. Wedding coverage includes digital files and an online gallery for sharing and printing.
destination weddings
I love traveling back to Washington, DC, Traverse City, Michigan, and around the world for destination weddings. Wherever you wed, I'd love to capture all the moments, big and small, that will make you smile for years to come. Prices vary by destination, so please contact me for full details!
engagements
Engagement sessions are one of my very favorite things to shoot! They help my couples to get comfortable with my unique posing methods and allow me to create natural, heartfelt images of them in a relaxed environment. My sessions last 2-3 hours and can include multiple locations and outfits.
