I’m a creator at heart who always dreamed of running her own business… The dream itself changed a lot – one week, it was owning a flower farm, and the next, it was designing wedding gowns (totally inspired by Elizabeth James in the Parent Trap!). But I never thought I’d be a professional photographer… Looking back now, I should have seen this coming! I’ve always adored photography and was the self-proclaimed ‘documenter’ in my friend group. I’d go everywhere with my pink Sony point-and-shoot camera tucked away in my purse, ready to capture the moment. Let’s just say my first apartment was covered in printed photos of friends, memories, and travels! I now serve 30+ amazing couples each year, capturing the genuine love and emotions of their destination weddings and elopements. I’ve also added three incredible associates to my team who work closely with me to tell even more love stories through the Rachael Kazmier Photography experience.

Our engagement session with Rachael was perfect she was even able to make our 4 month old puppy smile for photos! (a true talent) We had never gotten professional photos taken and she made the whole experience so fun it didn't even feel like we were taking photos.
The actual wedding day. I have no words Rachael is so talented! From the moment she arrived Rachael had the best attitude and makes you feel like a movie star with all of the compliments and kind words. Every person in my bridal party and family who had spoken to Rachael raved about how amazing she was and that was before we even saw the photos! Rachael turned around a sneak peek with so many photos within I think a day of our wedding and it was so fun to relive on our honeymoon. The actual album came weeks later which was also a quick turnaround and every single photo was perfect. I had so many favorites to choose from it is impossible to pick! She captured every detail and type of picture I requested and a million more of her creative style.
Overall, Rachael was the perfect photographer, and I would choose her again a million times over and recommend her to everyone!!
Rachael was extremely responsive and always happy to share her advice on how we could best capture our big day. Whether it was planning logistics for family photos / first look photos / etc, or just knowing the best places to capture the looks that we wanted, she was extremely insightful & reassuring, which made every step of planning this portion of our wedding so much more enjoyable. Her attentiveness and attention to detail made it easy for her to capture our day just as we envisioned it.
Our wedding day was a dream, The team made it even more amazing than I could've ever imagined. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking and some thing we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Everyone still can't believe how gorgeous they turned out. The only thing "hard" about working with Rachael's team is having to choose which pictures to display after you receive them, because they are all just that beautiful. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
