About

I am a film-inspired documentary photographer and I love celebrating the beauty of all kinds of love! When I have a camera in hand...it just feels right. Photography is not just a "snap-deliver-move on" thing for me. It's all about the relationships that are built that allows me to capture you, as you are, in each moment.

If we will be spending time together (and I hope we will!) I want you to feel completely comfortable, relaxed and ready for fun. It helps when you know a bit about your photographer ahead of time.

I began as a documentary film photographer in NYC and DC, and always photograph with observational intention. I'm passionate about capturing your day as it unfolds, documenting your wedding from the small details to the big moments...all with a sense of place. I'm excited to hear about your love story!

Rachel is truly amazing!

Rachel took my senior photos way back in 2008. It was such a great experience. Especially as someone who doesn’t love having their picture taken. When I got married in 2021, I knew she was the photographer to go for. Despite scheduling snafus and the pandemic, we were still able to do our engagement shoot while being entirely fogged in on the beach. Rachel rolled with the complications and turned our shoot into something amazing. She captured our wedding day wonderfully, and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for any type of shoot. She is amazing to work with and so incredibly talented!

Rachel was a highlight of our wedding!

We are so glad we decided to work with Rachel! One thing that made her really great to work with was how approachable and thoughtful she is, a true people person. Some photographers feel like they are in the way, or that their energy is disruptive, but Rachel was able to quickly become trusted with our whole family, putting us all at ease: allowing Rachel to capture some truly candid shots and snap a couple heart warmingly good photos of family members who we can normally never get a good picture of. This is a quality that is a rare find in an event/wedding photographer! She knew how to get the shot! Beyond her personable nature, Rachel was timely, extremely professional, organized, and came with the right gear to get the job done. We highly recommend Rachel for all of these reasons!

Rachel is an amazing photographer! We LOVED our wedding pictures and there would be no possible way to narrow down a favorite from all that she took. She is very professional and very personable all at the same time which is exactly what you want for such an important and stressful day! I would recommend her to anyone and hope to have her do our family photos in the future! :)
