James & Dionna's beautiful wedding took place at Court in the Square, not far from Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle. The venue is nestled in between two buildings which allows for an outside feel all while being indoors. The wedding there was absolutely beautiful. My favorite part was the rooftop access for night photos!

Mike & Brooke's wedding at Hidden Meadows in Snohomish will forever be in my heart. I absolutely love every single one of my clients and I especially love when we remain friends after the fact! Their day was beautiful. A tiny bit of rain but a whole lot of love!

This was my first time photographing a wedding at Gas Works Park! Brian & Ruchi tied the knot at Gas Works Park overlooking the beautiful Seattle skyline. I’ve photographed engagement sessions here before but not a wedding! Photographing them is so easy because they just have such a natural energy.

Cameron & Rachel tied the knot at Hidden Meadows which is one of my favorite venues to photograph at! Located in the valley of Snohomish, it features beautiful views of the Cascade Mountain range. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful filled with stunning pastel tones and an incredible sunset at the very end!

I headed to Banff National Park for Ryan & Darion's beautiful wedding. It was one of the most magnificent places I've ever seen! The views we experienced throughout the day was incredible and something I will never forget!

Cherry blossom season is my absolute FAVORITE! I had no idea until I pulled up at Maplehurst Farm for Blair & Sara's wedding that they would have the most stunning plot of Cherry Blossom trees just ready for us to photograph in front of them! An absolute dream!

Mitchell & Chelsea decided to elope instead of doing the big wedding. It truly was an adventure! The snowfall was so heavy over at Mount Hood National Forest and it was freezing but it made for the most stunning images!

Sam & Makenna had originally planned to have a big wedding. But, when the events of 2020 happened, they pivoted and decided to have a micro-wedding instead. We did their portraits at Kachess Lake and their beautiful ceremony was at Gold Creek Pond. It was a stunning way for them to change things up!

Instead of wanting a big wedding, Scott & Yasmin opted to have a micro-wedding with their closest family & friends in attendance. They had rented a house for their wedding in Leavenworth, Washington with a stunning view of the mountains and river. It was a glorious day!

- Joe & Jena

It was more than I could have ever wished for. She's one of the friendliest and most professional people you will ever meet. I couldn't recommend anyone better to be behind the lens for any of your photography needs. She will turn your dream photos into reality. Thank you Rachel for your everything you did for us! We will cherish these memories forever.

it felt like it was straight out of a fairytale.

- Taylor & Rebecca

I cannot stress enough that Rachel was hands down my favorite vendor I worked with for my wedding. She is the most comfortable person to work with and helped to make sure my entire wedding was running smoothly in the meantime(keeping timelines in mind / hiding me when guests arrive/ making sure our videographer was present when she was) . Not only this but her photos are AMAZING.

Rachel was hands down my favorite vendor I worked with for my wedding.

Rachel had us hooked from the moment we met her. She did an amazing engagement shoot for us and was so happy to include our puppy when we asked. For our wedding she kept everything stress free and got everything we wanted and more on camera!! Our formal portraits are incredible, thanks to her making us feel amazing the entire day.
