You have no idea how happy I am that you are here!

Hi, i'm rachAEL

Hello, I’m Rachael and I’m honestly just really grateful you’re here. If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding day in a way that feels real, heartfelt, and timeless, it means the world that you're considering me.

Photography found me in one of the most beautiful, transformative moments of my life. In 2013, right before the birth our daughter, my husband gifted me my first Nikon camera. It was more than a gift; it was a doorway. I didn’t know it then, but that camera would open up a whole new part of me that I didn’t know was in there.

I’ve always been someone who feels deeply, maybe too deeply at times. But that depth is where my creativity lives. I’m not just a photographer. I’m someone who sees meaning in the in-between moments, who loves with her whole heart, and who believes that nostalgia is a form of magic. Through my lens, I don’t just document what happens, I try to bottle up how it felt, so you can come back to it again and again.

If you’re someone who values the quiet glances, the joyful tears, and the perfectly imperfect realness of your love story, then I think we’re going to get along just fine.

My Story

At the core of everything I do, I’m someone who’s in love with this wild and beautiful universe. I’m a wife, a mother, and part of a perfectly imperfect blended family that fills my life with joy. Together, we share the incredible gift of raising our daughters. Our lives have been deeply shaped by our shared journey in the military. My husband recently retired after twenty-two years of service, and I’m proud to say that we are both Navy veterans. It’s been a path of service, strength, and unwavering love.

Those closest to me know I’m someone they can count on. I show up with an open heart and steady presence. I’ve always carried a love for travel, which naturally led me to destination wedding photography. There’s something so special about being welcomed into new places and invited into one of the most intimate days in someone’s life.

I’m also a spiritual soul. Crystals, energy, and intentional living aren’t just things I’m drawn to, they’re a part of who I am. That energy moves through my art too, because I believe every photograph holds a vibration, a memory, and a trace of something sacred.
When I’m not photographing or working on my business, I’m soaking up time with my family. I find joy in the little things, messy kitchens, long hugs, evening laughter, and quiet moments that become memories. This is such a meaningful chapter in my life. I try to slow down often, be present, and fully savor the moments that truly matter.

Working with Rachael was absolutely effortless and enjoyable. My husband and I were not excited to take photos because we're incredibly awkward and goofy. Rachael made it so natural and easy. Once it actually came to our wedding photos it was so comfortable and organized. She takes control of your wedding party when necessary (trust me, very necessary for mine), and had a plan the whole way through. She even helped me with my timeline for the wedding.

I was one of those people who didn't want to do the engagement photos, because I thought why it's a waste and I'd rather just take that away and have a cheaper price, but it was worth it and is needed. We developed a relationship and bond to where we were able to feel comfortable with her and her taking photos of us. I now believe without the engagement photos, the wedding day photos would have been awkward and unenjoyable. There is a reason this is apart of the package and you can't skip or take away for a cheaper price! Rachael is absolutely worth the money and I would and will recommend her to everyone. She's so sweet and so much fun. All of this, and the photos were ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and were EXACTLY what I wanted. I couldn't ask for anything more, she is incredible. Seriously, book her.
