My love affair with photography and the arts dates back further than I remember, but it was my husband who first saw my potential as business owner. After ten years in business and two cross-country moves, I'm wildly thankful to have a career that I not only adore, but has allowed me to connect with others during some of the most joyous moments of their lives. A storyteller at heart (and unapologetic book worm), I bring my background as a former literature teacher to my wedding day approach, capturing the full legacy of each day I'm entrusted with. My wedding superpower? It's CONNECTION. I believe in connecting with you, building a relationship that feels effortlessly friendly, and capturing what maters to YOU. After all, it's your story...I'm just here to document it.

The actual pictures are important but working with someone that makes the day enjoyable is just as important (I think!). Rachael became part of our crew and my friends and family affectionately call her by her first name in recapping the day, as if she was another bridesmaid we've known for years. I am genuinely sad the day is over and we don't get to spend more time with our friend - if you are lucky enough to get to work with her I know you will feel the same.
Then our wedding day... Rachael was fabulous in every way and I was so excited to see her the morning of the wedding. She has an eye for details and captures every hug, happy tear, laugh and kiss so perfectly. When she sent us a message that our photos were ready, we both cried through every photo because she had captured us and our wedding day so beautifully. We are sad the wedding day is over because we just want to keep hanging out with Rachael!
We loved Rachael so much that we booked her again for a family photo session the following year. She is truly an amazing photographer and person and you cannot pass up any opportunity to work with her. She is the best!
Rachael’s photos from our engagement + wedding are romantic, timeless and full of emotion. She knows how to capture all of the little moments in between AND still get all of those important family and group photos. The photos that she created on our wedding day were more than I could have dreamed of, and she managed to get everything I wanted (which was a tall order) and then some.
Oh, and I swear she is a dog whisperer because the photos she got with our furbaby are perfect!!!
Leading up to the wedding, she was only a phone call or text away to chat about wedding ideas, photo locations or timeline suggestions.
Her fun energy and up for anything attitude made the whole process from the engagement session to the wedding day so easy and fun.
I trusted her completely to see our wedding day through her camera and the results were pure magic.
I cannot rave and love on her enough, so if you are looking for a photographer who is going to create beautiful photos and feel like a best friend on your wedding day, you have both in Rachael. :)
