Cameras are getting more advanced and doing some heavy lifting.
But for the rest of my life, I'll maintain that the person behind the camera matters more than the camera itself. Both in the connection you form with them, and in the way that they see the world. And I will die on this hill.

Let's be honest with each other: most people can take fairly decent photos these days.

Ever wish you had more printed artwork in your home, but don’t want to display photos of yourself?
All of my galleries include landscape images of your beautiful elopement locations. My couples also love those “tiny people, big world” images, where the people are dwarfed by the landscape. You get to print “pretty photos” that have extra special meaning to you, that no one else has, without having to hang photos of yourself on the walls.

In many of my images, folks aren’t looking at the camera. I always make sure to get that quick “for the fridge” photo where everyone is looking and smiling, but I want you to be fully immersed in the experience for the rest of the day.
The goal is for you to be so enraptured by what you’re seeing and doing that you don’t notice the cameras are there.
Those are the best images.
And those are the ones that will trigger the sharpest memories of your elopement experience, because you were in the moment, not worrying about your photographer.

There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about 35mm film, isn’t there?
I’m from the 1900s, so I’m on the “film is special” side of things. In addition to my shiny, modern cameras, you'll also see me carrying around an almost 50-year old film camera. It's so fun to work with, and I love giving my couples the camera to take a few frames themselves.
I include a whole roll of film for any booking 8 hours and up.

“She was incredibly knowledgeable about the location we wanted to elope at and helped us with some of the logistics. Rachel worked her magic and we honestly can’t stop looking at all the pictures!”

I might be the human for you. There's still space in my 2023 calendar, and I'd love to meet you!
