Hi! I’m Rachel, an elopement and intimate wedding photographer based in Northern California. I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember. I’m so excited to work with you and help you create lifelong memories. I recently married the love of my life and it gave me a whole new perspective on wedding photography. We eloped on the coast and came back to a reception with our closest family and friends. Having time for just the two of us made our day even more memorable and special.

As a Colorado native, I feel most at home in the mountains. When I first moved to California, I spent a lot of time exploring and looking for pockets of nature that reminded me of home. Since then, I’ve grown to really love the peacefulness of the California coast.

While being a photographer is a major part of me, it is not all of me. During the week, you’ll find me working as a nurse and a teacher. My experiences in those professions have made me incredibly attuned to the emotions of others. Above all else, I’ve learned to never take my loved ones for granted. Time is our greatest resource and gift and how we spend it is of utmost importance. I want your wedding day to feel intentional and special, and that is why I love photographing elopements.

I hope to capture my love and respect for this art form in all of my work. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Rachel
