The Experience
Reviews from clients & a glimpse into what working with Rachael looks like...
"Rachael was by far the best decision I made when planning my wedding."
Rachael is hands down the best wedding photographer I have ever met and is worth every cent! People have raved about my photos saying how absolutely stunning they are. She makes you feel instantly comfortable - even my non-photo loving husband loved being in front of the camera with her. 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.

"Rachael is absolutely incredible at her craft..
...and she's an even more magnificent human being!! She was a dream to work with and everyone at our wedding loved her."
alexandra & brian
"Rachael is simply the best!"
"My husband is not the biggest fan of taking photos and Rachael made him feel right at home behind the lens. She gave careful direction but still was able to capture the essence of our relationship. On our wedding day, I swear Rachael was the reason everything ran PERFECTLY. She knew exactly the shots we needed and kept us on track all day."
taylor & Nicholas
"Rachael's work is gorgeous on its own, but working with Rachael is an experience that every bride deserves...
She makes you feel special, beautiful, and important. At the end of the day not only do you have beautiful images, but you gain a friend in the process."

where are you located?
I am based out of Orlando, Florida as of 2022, but I serve couples all over the United States as well as abroad as a destination wedding and portrait photographer.
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.
do you pose us? i'm nervous!
Stop worrying right now, I've got you.
I'll direct you throughout the process so that you feel comfortable and natural, not stiff and posed. All you have to do is smile, relax, and enjoy yourself.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
I travel for 75% of my weddings. While I'm based out of Florida, I have traveled throughout the US as well as internationally. The Bahamas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica are just some of the places outside the US we've been!
do you have a second shooter?
I am incredibly lucky to have several trusted associates who have been second shooting for me for the last ten years, in addition to my husband who also works as a part-time freelance photographer (he takes the drone photos around here!)
can we meet or talk before we book?
Absolutely! In fact, I encourage this.. I would love to set up a time to meet you virtually over the phone or facetime to discuss your photography needs and make sure your needs are met.
Do you shoot film or digital?
The simple answer - both! While I often use film as an anchor point for editing my digital work, I usually rely on both mediums, choosing the option that best fits the needs of your day and environment.
can we bring our pet to our session or wedding?
There is a 110 percent chance I will like you even more if you do, and I can pretty much promise we will get along great. Pets are always welcome (but do check with local and venue rules to be safe).
Can we have the raw files?
No, but you can have each and every one of your beautifully and carefully edited high-res files, including a print release - and trust us, that's WAY better.
