CREATING IMAGES THAT LOOK

Nostalgic photos with a modern flair
Your love will never go out of style
Your love is timeless, so your wedding photos should be too. I’ll document your perfect day in a beautiful and creative way that stands the test of time. It’s my main priority to bring your vision to life, so let’s work together to create genuine imagery that evokes all of those feel-good emotions from your wedding day. With a mix of photography mediums, each photo in your gallery will feel unique and thoughtfully-designed.
let’s connect
There is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked
Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone.They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique.

Bespoke Wedding Photography for Every Couple
polaroids
Every wedding package includes Polaroid keepsake photos as a fun reminder of your best day ever. Polaroids give us that instant gratification while still remaining a medium that has the potential to create stunning artwork. I love that they’re tactile images you can hold in your hands and see your memories come to life before the night is over.
film
photography
Film photos are unique in their vintage aesthetic, but I’ll creatively capture you and your partner in a way that feels fresh and meant to last forever. I work with medium format and 35mm film, while also playing with experimental film too!
Every couples’ love story is unique, so I’m here to help you have a wedding day that feels anything but generic. I’m ready to listen to your wish list, and collaborate to create a truly personalized experience. With base packages to start, we’ll work towards building a custom photography plan that includes all of your must-haves.
You deserve a personalized experience

I will hold all of my photos near and dear to my heart.
Our photographer Rachel is super talented, patient, and kind. We were both nervous and didn’t know how to pose or act naturally in front of a camera. Rachel kept repeating if we are truly in love, it’ll show in the pictures flawlessly. And she was right. After seeing the pictures, you would never guess that we’ve never done this before. I will hold all of my photos near and dear to my heart. You can truly see the love. On top of that, we paid for the super 8 film and it is now my favorite thing ever. I don’t know much about super 8 but it fit my style perfectly. I will always advocate for super 8 if the option is available.
Her partner Nate was our officient. He did a great job and asked us multiple questions ahead of time to get to know our relationship better.

After your contract is signed and your date is saved on my calendar, we’ll start planning! This is the time to share your vision so I can give you exactly what you want on your big day and I'll send you my Wedding Guide. Not sure what you’re looking for? That’s okay! I love to collaborate with my couples, so we’ll work on creating the perfect photo spread together. During this time, I’ll also share my Outfit & Locations Guide to help you get your wardrobe on point, and we’ll decide on the best location for your engagement session.
