The weddings with Rae experience
Wedding Photography that prioritizes curating experiences, not photo ops.
// No more overly orchestrated photo ops that leave you without time for loved ones
// No more staged photos from Pinterest in the middle of getting ready
// No more pulling you off the dance floor to take portraits
// No more redoing moments because the lighting is better over there
Rachel is amazing!!!
We were lucky enough to hit it off with her, and had a blast. From hiking to making us feel comfortable enough to get the BEST candid shots. You can’t go wrong booking with her, and she will make your day memorable as well as the most comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I'VE ALWAYS HATED HAVING MY PHOTO TAKEN, BUT I ACTUALLY HAD SO MUCH FUN TAKING PHOTOS ON OUR WEDDING DAY.

A 10/10 Experience!
Better Than I Could've Imagined!
We had the absolute best experience working with Rach! She has such a bright energy about her and we had a blast with her. She is so kind, patient, talented, hardworking, and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff and has the best ideas! The photos turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined, and they’re plastered in canvas all over our home! Her kindness and patience helped ease the wedding day stress tenfold. I really don’t think I would’ve made it through the day without all of her help and encouragement! She’ll definitely be our first pick when it’s time for vow renewals! 10/10 experience!

I was so anxious...
I was so anxious about forgetting something on the day of, but Rachel planned for EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL and I got to relax and be present in the moment with my husband on the day because of it!

Words from the rebels
Our approach
With our chameleon-like approach, it’s all about the organic, spontaneous moments which allow you and your guests to be fully present and truly relax. We’ll silently fade into the background for the quiet, intimate moments or be on the dance floor getting down with you and your homies!
You won’t have to fend for yourself during portraits, though. You’ll have a fun and relaxed couple portrait session, even if you or your partner hates taking photos.
(Spoiler alert- everyone feels awkward. We got you!)
During family portraits, we are assertive and organized to make sure things run quickly and painlessly so you can spend more time enjoying your party instead of taking photos. Outside of this, all other moments of the day are unscripted and allow for the freeflow of natural expression!
TLDR; you don’t ever have to do anything you don’t want to do.
If you don’t want to miss out on a huge chunk of your party to take couple portraits, guess what- you don’t have to.
If you don’t want to have a first look, guess what- you don’t have to.
If you change your mind and don’t feel like doing something anymore, guess what- you don’t have to.
If you want to get ready together or walk down the aisle together, guess what- you can.
If you want to have dinner in a private place just the two of you, guess what- you can.
If you want to skip the cake cutting or formal dances or have absolutely no planned photos whatsoever, guess what- you can.
The Portfolio
Say NO to cookie-cutter and YES to intention.
Let's preserve the traditions that hold sentimental value, discard those that don't resonate, and create new, meaningful rituals that mark the genesis of your unique family story.
I am your advocate and ally in gently steering away from unnecessary expectations from well-meaning friends and family. It’s all about finding the sweet spot between honoring tradition and embracing the new
