And that’s so backwards, because your wedding is really about connection—with each other, with your people, with the moment you’re in. With your big intention for the day, and why you’re taking this big, beautiful leap together.
So let’s flip the script on wedding photography and document real moments in real time.
No more watching your wedding through a viewfinder instead of living it. You’ll actually get to enjoy the champagne you chose instead of posing with it. You’ll have real conversations with the people you love, not just quick “omg hi how are you gotta go!”s between endless family photos. You’ll throw your head back laughing at your best friend’s toast without worrying about your “good side.”
Your wedding might look like a backyard BBQ or a warehouse party for two hundred. It might mean a sunrise ceremony with just your immediate family or a weekend-long destination celebration with your whole crew. Whatever you’re dreaming up, it deserves to be captured honestly—no staging, no interrupting, just real life told true.
Because here’s the thing: when you’re free to just be present, the most amazing moments unfold naturally. Those candids of everyone being completely, authentically themselves? They’ll tell your story way better than any typical shot list ever could.
Rachel is hands down the BEST wedding photographer there is!! She was such a pleasure to work with, she made everything so easy & fun, she communicated well and you can really tell she loves what she does. It was truly a blessing to have her as our photographer. Can’t recommend her enough!
Instead of directing your day, I’m here to document it with a keen eye and a full heart. Think of me as a storyteller with a camera (or even as a guest who just so happens to take really good photos!), here to let things unfold naturally and preserve the memories for you to revisit for years to come.
When your college roommate pulls you in for a bear hug right after the ceremony, when your partner absolutely loses it during the toasts, when your whole crew spectacularly fails at a conga line during the reception, I’m there, finding ways to bottle up the energy and emotion of the day.
Skip the “top ten (whatever thing) you NEED” lists and articles about matching your napkins to your second cousin’s socks.
Instead, on the blog you’ll find honest venue reviews from someone who’s actually worked there, practical planning advice that puts your experience first, and stories from couples who threw out the rulebook and had the time of their lives.
Whether you’re wondering about unique venues or looking for proof that unconventional choices lead to unforgettable celebrations, I’ve got your back.
