About

On WeddingWire since 2024

Hi, Friends!

Let me unofficially introduce myself. I'm Rachael, a Colorado native, Oregon Coast beach dweller, coffee enthusiast and road-trip addict. My journey in photography started from Kodak cameras as a kid in the 90's, to freelancing in college and ever since, documenting weddings and the adventures in between.

Photography has always been the fuel to the fire. It has inspired me to trek further, wake up earlier and stay up later. It has introduced me to the incredible experiences of life on the road, where I am humbled by the opportunity to explore new places and take creative risks.

Most of all, my love for photography is consumed by the wonderful people I meet and the unforgettable stories captured along the way.

Do you and your person love surfing? Let's get in the water.

Are you guys backpackers? Pick a mountain.

Show me what you two love!

Whether your vision is eloping in the Rockies, or on a cliff in Iceland, a small wedding in the little church of your hometown; I'd be honored to capture this incredibly exciting chapter in your story.

My service is not limited to photography. I am more than happy to assist in planning and guiding your special day from beginning to finish. Once we have booked your date and location, we will go through all the little details, a time sensitive outline, and all the help couples need in accommodating permits or vendors.

I can't wait to meet you!

-Rachael

A Photographer to Remember

When I met Rachael, 10+ years ago she was just starting into the photography world. Her creativity and special eye for important moments/landscapes was apparent from the start. I fell in love with her prints of special landscapes. My room was adorned with all of her photography and her creativity was my proud beacon. The first wedding I saw her shoot was beyond anything I imagined. I knew that, one day, she would shoot my special day as well. Once that day came, I was nervous. I've never been one to enjoy photos of myself, she made me feel comfortable and excited. I knew she'd capture our day perfectly. Even going into my wedding day with high standards, I was overwhelmed with how she met each and every one. We will always remember the silly groomsman double fisting coors on a tree trunk, the friends who came to visit from Florida, from New York, and from right down the street, and of course she took a million beautiful photos of my husband and I. Each picture captured a story that will forever live in our wedding album. Rachael went beyond our expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the future. Just beautiful, her hard work shows and I cannot say enough good about her and her photos! Book Rachael for your wedding, you will not regret it!

Rachael is incredible!

As I write this, I honestly could cry. We just had our perfect October wedding and Rachael captured the most beautiful memories of ours and I couldn’t have been happier with the way they turned out. We had a simple boho style back yard wedding with 55 people and she did an amazing job not only taking amazing photos, but encapsulating the vibe; cozy, intimate, homey. She has an amazing eye for photography and was able to implement her artistic talent alongside getting group photos of all our people there to celebrate our love. From my bridesmaids and I getting ready, to my 18 month old son stuffing his face with ice cream once we were packing and cleaning everything up, she stamped so many memories in time in such a beautiful way. Rachael also took our engagement photos and they turned out beautifully! If you are looking for wedding, engagement, family, elopement photos, I have no doubt you will be extremely happy with Rachael’s work and also her bubbly and hilarious personality!

October Wedding

My husband and I had a small ceremony held inside Poor Richard's cafe in October, and Rachel absolutely blew us away.

She showed up early on the day of and then traipsed with us to two other locations. She communicated with and directed us so well, paid the closest attention to detail, and made sure to get photos we didn't even know we wanted.

The photos themselves are beyond stunning and capture the moody romance of autumn that we fell in love with. She memorialized so many precious moments that would have otherwise been lost in the excitement, and made everything look as magical as it felt. Each and every single photo we received back is frame worthy, and that is no exaggeration.

We can't recommend Rachel enough! Between her sweet, hype-man personality and her skilled work, you won't be disappointed.
