We do things a little bit differently around here…

You’ve seen all the fancy, glamorousย weddings all over Pinterest and you think to yourself, “these are beautiful, but just not me at all.”

You want something that matches your personality, both as a couple and as individuals, not just another cookie-cutter wedding with a $100,000 budget and the same ole’ stiff poses.

You want a wedding day that actually focuses on you…

…fueled by quality time and intention, with a backdrop of adventure and pure joy!

That’s where I come in.ย We dig deep. We work together to make sure that your marriage and relationship shine through by crafting a fun, soulful experience and documenting the moments as they unfold naturally, without all the stiff, awkward posing. This is real, organic, and truly you!

An adventure elopement isn’t posing for photos from sunup to sundown. This is the two of you genuinely doing fun things together, in your natural element. I am the fly on the wall for most of it, preferring a photojournalistic take. A lot less posed and a whole lot more candid. I do give gentle prompts and direction during portraits, to guide you as you interact with each other naturally.

So now… what does an elopement in Texas even look like?

Just because you’re eloping doesn’t mean you don’t value getting married, you just want something different. And maybe less people-y? Do you prefer cozy, relaxed evenings over a fire, cold beers, and tacos? Or maybe there’s a bucket list item you’ve both been dying to do, but everyday life and work responsibilities just get in the way. There are all sorts of ways to make your day an experience you will never forget! Do you want to experience a favorite spot nostalgic for the two of you or do want to see somewhere new you’ve never been together?

  • Hot-air balloon rides over North Texas
  • Playing your favorite video games at the arcade together
  • Cozy cabin retreats in San Antonio
  • Horseback riding through the Texas Hill Country
  • Cafe hopping in downtown Dallas
  • Kayaking the East Texas Marshes

You get the idea…

Your options are only limited by your imagination. Luckily, you have me as your Texas location guide! I’ve spent decades camping, hiking and exploring this magnificent state and know all the best trails, places to stay, unique things to do, and of course, where to eat!

I’m your travel guide, photographer, and your officiant! I’m legally ordained and can sign off on your marriage license for those looking for a truly “just us” vow experience.

It’s time to breathe a sigh of relief. Your intimate wedding day is possible. Weddings with Rae is here to relieve the burden of your day, plan a life-giving elopement and capture the true, at-ease you.

Seeing Rachelโ€™s work and passion behind making sure everything is documented every time she photographs a wedding made my decision SIMPLE. She was one of my first phone calls when I got engaged because I knew she hadnโ€™t expanded her location to include California yet... I love her work, I love her enthusiasm, her thoroughness... I couldnโ€™t have chosen anyone else to document my day, especially because Iโ€™m so uncomfortable in front of a camera in general, she was able to catch facial expressions I didnโ€™t think Iโ€™d catch on camera to top everything off. I will always and forever recommend Rachel especially if youโ€™re going for a simple day of love and no drama and laughter. Absolutely NO regrets.

Rachel is hands down the BEST wedding photographer there is!! Our dream was that when we look at our wedding pictures, we want to remember exactly how we felt in that moment; and she did exactly that! Rachel was such a pleasure to work with, she made everything so easy & fun, she communicated well and you can really tell she loves what she does. It was truly a blessing to have her as our photographer. Canโ€™t recommend her enough!

We had the absolute best experience working with Rach! She has such a bright energy about her and we had a blast with her. She is so kind, patient, talented, hardworking, and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff and has the best ideas! The photos turned out better than I couldโ€™ve ever imagined, and theyโ€™re plastered in canvas all over our home! Her kindness and patience helped ease the wedding day stress tenfold. I really donโ€™t think I wouldโ€™ve made it through the day without all of her help and encouragement! Sheโ€™ll definitely be our first pick when itโ€™s time for vow renewals! 10/10 experience! :-)

I canโ€™t even begin to express how grateful we are for Rachel! We planned our wedding in just two short weeks. I always dreamed of having Rae as our wedding photographer but could barely believe it when I inquired and she was available for us on such short notice. Raeโ€™s candid style was what originally caught my attention! She captured our special day perfectly and we couldnโ€™t be happier. 10/10 recommend for weddings or any type of special event. We look forward to working with you again for future photos!

Rachel is amazing, professional. We were lucky enough to hit it off with her, and had a blast. From hiking to making us feel comfortable enough to get the BEST candid shots. You canโ€™t go wrong booking with her, and she will make your day memorable as well as the most comfortable and enjoyable experience.
