HI there, i'm rachel.

I'm a nice weather + people person, and I love watching a good sunset from my front porch. Being apart of love stories is something that I am honored to do, so I curate an experience that is personal to who you are.

What drives my work? People having genuine moments with one another. Friends + family gathering to celebrate the union + love of a couple that means SO much to them that they'd fly/drive/travel to be there for. The real and genuine relationships that stand the test of time and continuously show up for one another, even when life gets hard! This is what drives me to capture your story exactly where it's at, I want to be there. 

Big moments are important, but the in-between moments matter too, and I can't wait to show you that! I am going to make sure you feel SO confident come wedding day that you are able to enjoy every moment that unfolds. If you want to feel the hype + excitement that celebrating your love brings, mixed in with belly laughs + dancing - I'm your girl! 

You are here because you want everything down to those little moments documented, and they deserve to be! So send me an email, let's do this!!
