Over time, I’ve learned that weddings don’t mean the same thing to everyone. Some couples want structure, direction and moments carefully shaped for the camera. Others just want to be surrounded by their people and trust that someone is noticing what matters as it happens.
I tend to work best with the second group.
My approach shifts with the energy of the day. Sometimes that looks more documentary and hands-off. Sometimes it’s gentle direction when you need it.
It's nice to meet you!

Hi, I'm Rachael
I’m naturally introverted, which turns out to be useful at weddings. I notice small shifts in a room, the pauses in conversation and the way people gravitate toward each other. Photography has always felt like a way of participating without changing what’s already there.
Away from weddings, life is pretty simple. I live on the Eastern shore with my partner and our dog, Molly. Our free time consists of beach walks, trying out new recipes and slow mornings that usually turn into afternoons before I even realize it.
I strive to create an organized, helpful and professional experience for everyone while keeping things personal, fun and relaxed.
Professional
I encourage you to be your true self. Meeting with clients for coffee, drinks or dinner helps tremendously to build a relationship along the way.
Intuitive
Maybe you love the camera, maybe you hate it. Either way, my gentle, easy-going approach prioritizes your comfort throughout the process so we get the best results.
Personal
my approach
I feel most inspired when people are simply being themselves, laughing with friends, holding each other close, and soaking it all in. My role is to be present, prepared, and thoughtful so you can stay focused on what the day is really about.
Fun & Relaxed
Your photos should carry the same magic whether you look at them today or 10 years from now. I avoid using trendy presets without correct colour balances or skin tones to create images with longevity and authenticity.
