I made when planning my wedding...
She makes you feel instantly comfortable...you can tell how passionate she is not only about her job but also her clients- she becomes a part of your family seamlessly weaving in and out of the wedding day always with a smile on her face."

We know how to work - rain, snow, or shine! - to get you the best images at your venue, so you can relax and enjoy your day, knowing we have your back.
Want all your memories captured but not so sure you like being in front of the camera? We promise to make it feel easy and comfortable - like hanging out with a friend (who just happens to take really great photos).
One of our favorite 5 star reviews (and we have lots of them - go look us up!) was from a bride who said
"even her camera-hating husband loved taking photos with Rachael!" We're here to show you getting those beautiful photos you're dreaming of can feel EFFORTLESS.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE should we BOOK?
We recommend reaching out as soon as you secure your venue. Couples often book us as early as 12-16 months in advance, but we accept last-minute bookings if we're open! We cannot accept bookings that are 2 or more years in advance.
how long have you been in business?
I officially launched my brand in 2012 in N. Illinois, just outside of the city of Chicago. Since then, I have photographed hundreds of weddings and moved from Illinois to South Carolina, and now our forever home in Florida, all while maintaining my business.
how do we lock you in as our photographer?
A signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer is due in order to reserve your date.
