PHOTOGRAPHY
Rachael is a firm believer in strong marriages and a photographer of timeless, joy-filled couples. With nearly a decade of experience serving those who value elegance, intention, and enduring imagery, she photographs weddings in beautiful destinations — from Nashville, Tennessee to Rome, Italy.
She believes your wedding day is just the beginning, and your marriage is the most meaningful part of it all. Ten years into her own marriage, Rachael was deeply shaped by generations of lasting love — having watched her grandparents and great-grandparents each celebrate 60 years together.
To her, wedding photographs aren’t just pretty pictures — they’re your first family heirlooms. They become part of your legacy, and Rachael is honored to preserve both the grand moments and the quiet, fleeting in-betweens you may not even realize are happening.

the wedding
Elegant, heartfelt imagery for couples who value marriage, meaning, and a little bit of fun.
Wedding images are meant to live beyond the wedding day, and beyond a computer screen. We work together to curate beautiful heirloom albums and prints for your images.
Your experience culminates in the wedding day where we document images that you'll hang on the walls of your home and tell the story of your love.
The beginning of your wedding experience is the engagement session. A time for us to begin to tell the story of your love, weaving laughter and stories into imagery.
