Heyooo, I'm Rachael! (she/her) Born and raised in Springfield, embracing the underrated beauty of the midwest, and finding joy in the mundane.
Whether you're getting married in a courthouse, a family member's backyard, or at a wedding venue, my ultimate priority is giving you photographs you’ll enjoy for the rest of your lives - the only tangible things that will outlive your day and your florals.
Whether you have 10 or 100 folks witnessing your vows, are planning the big shebang or a small backyard party, or just want to celebrate getting through life with your best friend. What story do you want me to tell?
"Rachael is as incredible a human as she is a photographer. She was so easy to talk to throughout the planning process. She is thoughtful, attentive, and makes you feel so at ease during photo sessions. My husband traditionally does not like photographs, and even he had a lovely time. Her photos are raw, full of emotion, and edited beautifully. Truly, our photos feel as though I am looking at snapshots from a film.
If you are looking for someone to connect with, to capture every special emotion of your big day, to be the best hype-woman, and to make your day even more special, look no further. You can trust Rachael to be all of that and more."
"Rachael is amazing! She wore many different hats for our tiny wedding—DJ, hairdresser, and family wrangler for photos. The consultations we had with her before our wedding were detailed and helped us consider how we wanted our day to feel.
She has such a great personality, helped us relax, and made us laugh. I feel like our wedding was photographed by our best friend; that's how much care she put into our day. Our pictures are full of light and laughter, and truly capture our day and how it felt. I told my husband afterwards that her personality and presence feels like a warm hug, that's the best way I can describe working with Rachael!"
"There is a zero percent chance we could've found a better photographer than Rachael for our wedding day. She is talented, enthusiastic, organized, and makes everyone comfortable. She was helpful to me on the day of and prior beyond her job as photographer and I am forever grateful. Manny and I are quiet people and she was someone we quickly felt comfortable around and when she chose our second photographer she kept our personalities in mind. Manny and I adore our wedding photos as much as our engagement ones. We love that we have traditional shots as well as ones with a bit more personality."
