helping you create, plan & capture your dream wedding experience
You’re intentional about what you say yes to (and just as confident in what you don’t). Trends don’t always impress you. Meaning does.
You value connection, experiences, intentional details, and adventure over perfection.
You understand the importance of good photography and artful storytelling, especially on a day as important as your wedding.
Have peace of mind knowing you chose a wedding photographer who excels at the in-between moments.
With years of experience and a deep understanding of how light, timing, and movement shape a wedding day, I will guide you in a way that feels natural and never forced or overproduced.

Rachelle was BORN to be a wedding photographer! It takes a special type of person to photograph weddings - they aren't just capturing photos, they are capturing some of the most important moments of a couple's lives - and Rachelle did that flawlessly. Every step of the process, from the initial phone consult, to the deliverables that were in our inbox SO much faster than we ever imagined...I was blown away by Rachelle's organization, process, professionalism, and how she made everything seem effortless and EXCITING. She makes you feel like a million bucks on your wedding day, and feels like another friend that is there celebrating YOU - all while capturing every little unseen moment perfectly. Her work is incredible, SHE is incredible, I can't recommend Rachelle enough!”
