Authentic. Raw. Candid. Carefree.

Hi, I’m Rachel

Your creative eye & fly on the wall.

And photography is my passion.

My approach wedding photography is to gently direct, not pose — which results in show-stopping candids, that make you question why you ever thought you wouldn’t do well in front of a camera.

I have an eye for detail. Whether that means capturing all your hard work come-to-life in decore, catching a tender moment, or capturing a tear on your loved one’s face — I will be right there quietly documenting.

But don’t take it from me…

Couples & Engagements

Whether you’re proposing, engaged, it’s your anniversary, or just because? You’ve come to the right place.

I’d love to suggest the location, give outfit inspiration and tips, the time of day, you name it. You just get so show up!

Whether you’re looking for a beach, rolling hills, stunning cliffs or mountains, I have pre-scouted locations ready to recommend to my clients.

I also am more than willing to travel to you, whether it be a National Park, out of state, and yes— even out of the country.

Couples sessions start at $800 for my local, Southern California locations. Modest travel fees start for any location outside of my pre-scouted range.

Add ons

  • Double the angles, double the moments, and double the fun! I will do the hiring, and i highly suggest you have one. $100/hr

  • I would love to meet you two before your wedding day! I heavily discount an engagement session for booked wedding clients. $200 for a thirty-minute mini shoot, or $400 for a full engagement shoot.

  • I can clear my schedule and expedite my delivery process for a rush fee of $1500.

  • This allows for package customization, so that you can get exactly what you need. Price varies depending on timing. Hourly coverage is cheapest when included in your original contract, but you may add hourly coverage even up to the day of your wedding.

 FAQs

  • A 30% nonrefundable retainer, along with a signed contract, will reserve your date! Please email me through the contact button in the top right to get the ball rolling.

  • Please! I would love to have the opportunity to meet you both before your wedding day. If you are local to my area in Southern CA (Ventura County / Malibu), I offer a 30 minute get to know each other session for $200, or a full hour engagement session for $400. An $800 value!

  • You will receive an email to a beautiful, online gallery display of your digital images. From this one site, you’ll be able to share directly to social media, forward to friends and family, and download both full resolution & web size photos for free. Engagement photos are delivered within 4 weeks, and weddings are delivered within 6-8 weeks, unless you expedite.

  • Well, always! Why? You get more photos. As simple as that! You get more angles, and most importantly - I can “be two places at once.” This is recommended for weddings with a guest count over 100. If expansive detail photos, cocktail hour candids, and out of the box creative photos are important to you, this is an amazing reason to have me hire a second shooter. It is also an excellent precautionary. A guest accidentally blocked a key moment? -One of us caught it from another angle. An SD card corrupted? -We have 3 other back ups. That being said, I am 100% confident shooting on my own. Over 50% of the photos you see on my site and socials have been taken solo. The only little con, would be the additional cost and an extra vendor meal.

  • I have a few photographers who are my go-to, that have trained alongside me, and are my first choice. In the event of travel or conflicting schedules, I will hire a colleague of equal value to work with me. I do the hiring, you can sit back knowing I will provide another professional. I do not release the name or business, as they are a hired contractor, not an employee.

  • Our packages are designed to be a perfect average for your needs. However, if you need to add coverage, you absolutely can! Even up to the morning of.

  • Booked clients have access to my location suggestions, outfit and styling advice, creative & unique concept ideas, what to bring, etc. All collected for you on a webpage.

    Wedding Clients also receive a wedding questionnaire, one month (or sooner if requested) prior to your wedding day. This questionnaire will ask you for things like your must-have shots, family photo groupings, your Pinterest board, and your working timeline draft. With this info, I will create a custom Photography timeline to fit your needs.
