About

Hello there! I am Rachel, the creator behind Rachel Smith Photography LLC.

If you are looking for a photographer who can capture all the feels of your wedding story with timeless and creative photographs, let's chat!

If you haven't check out my photos yet, here's a little description of my style:

First and foremost, I am moved by the energy and emotions of your wedding day. Some folks call these kinds of photos “candids”. But I think they are more than that. These types of photos hold you, you loose yourself in them, you feel the moment, and if I do a really, really good job of getting to the essence of the moment, you might even taste and smell that snapshot in time. That’s at least what I’m going for and the types of photos I love the most.

I am a creative. I don't use that title to set me apart or make me sound special. It's actually a statement I believe we all should use. In us all is creativity, even those who say they don't have a creative bone in their body. What set's me apart in my creativity is that I feel most like myself when I'm in the creative process. Weddings are the most dynamic, exciting, emotional, anticipated, and even unpredictable events. It's in this space that this creative soul gets to work making magic happen!

Last but not least, I’m into the details. The details of your story, of your day, your vibe, and your look. Details can mean a few things when talking about weddings. It can mean all of the beautiful personal items, florals, stationary, and other elements that make up the overall designed vibe of your day. I’m here for it! I love a thoughtfully designed wedding. That doesn’t mean it has to be over the top, just that your vibe can be felt in these details of your day and they support that awesome love story you share. "Details" also applies to they way I shoot. When I set up portraits, I look for things that are out if place like boutonnières that have gone sideways or hair that needs fixing. I want to make sure you are looking your best for your portraits and often the difference is in the little details.

I'm happy to share more about my approach and style, but more importantly, I'd love to hear about your love story and wedding day. If you like my vibe, let's chat!

Rachel is the BEST!


Rachel photographed my June 2023 wedding at Belmont Manor & Historic Park and she was an absolute joy to work with leading up to and on the wedding day! She is kind, responsive and thoughtful. Additionally, her photos are spectacular. Our wedding was filled with so much love, happiness and energy and all that emotion came through in Rachel's photos. There is nothing she won't do for the perfect shot and we had guests complementing her and her team for being in all the right places throughout the day to capture all the moments. All the highlights are fantastic and we have never flipped through an album where we have loved every single photo. Hire Rachel today - you will not be disappointed

Best Experience with Rachel!

We had a wonderful experience working with Rachel and her team! From booking, to the engagement session, to the wedding day and beyond, Rachel was so easy to work with. We had our engagement photos done at Patterson Park and Fells Point harbor in Baltimore! She made both me and my husband feel so comfortable and we had a great time getting the pictures done! (which my husband was definitely not expecting haha)

During the last few weeks leading up to our wedding, I started to think of countless questions and Rachel was always quick to email or call back. One of our priorities was to wrap up the photos as much as possible prior to the ceremony so we could enjoy cocktail hour and the reception, and Rachel was so understanding of this! She was realistic and reassuring when we chatted about the timeline. On our wedding day, it was raining so heavily that even our plan B rain options were not feasible because it was raining so intensely and too wet in those areas. Rachel and her team were so quick to think on their feet and were still able to coordinate with the venue, bridal party and families to get everything done in the timeline we wanted! We couldn't be happier to have had Rachel capture our special day and hope to work with her again for future milestones!

Excellent photography team

Rachel was a joy to work with. She made us feel comfortable with being photographed during our engagement session, and our wedding day it was a breeze! She and Wendy were extremely efficient, so we had tons of time to enjoy our reception. Even our families commented on how well organized the group photos were and how professional they were. Thank you for capturing our day!

Rachel is an AMAZING Photographer. We recently worked with her on a wedding. She sent the link to us to view the entire gallery and I emailed her asking if we could use almost all of them. I see many photographers work and Rachel blows them out of the water. She shot with a beautiful blend of creativity and photojournalism without missing the key shots you'd want for your wedding. You will not regret hiring Rachel for your wedding!
