Are you overwhelmed by your own wedding?

 

Let’s fix that.

You walk through the world differently, alive in your own individuality, and you want your wedding day to embody that. You want room to breathe and slow down for an intentional elopement experience. But you don’t know how.

 

You deserve a day that fills you up with so much joy that you’re able to lean into who you are without any of the overwhelm that comes from big decisions, too much info, and the unknown.

 

And that is literally what I’m here for. I’ll photograph your elopement, obviously, but everything leading up to it is going to be easy and fun. No more stress, no more panic, no more putting things off because you don’t know what to do and then…panicking some more.

The wedding world wasn’t designed for neurodivergent or introverted folks. This experience is.

You can get married differently.

 

By getting married this way, you’ll have…

 

  • A stress-free elopement experience catered to you from start to finish, with an AuDHD photographer who knows what it’s like. No. More. Overwhelm.
  • The freedom to express your love and personalities openly.
  • Beautiful photos. No modeling experience necessary.
  • Stunning landscape images, because not everyone wants pictures of themselves on the walls.
  • An elopement photographer and consultant in one. Someone who gets you.
  • Posing that honours your relationship, boundaries, and comfort levels.

 

Hi, I’m Rachel (they/them)

Experienced, compassionate, approachable, kind of odd

My approach is non-traditional, personalized, and tailored to you and your dreams. Everyone is different, and I work with each of my darling clients to make sure you have the support and space you need to have that “limitless” elopement experience.

All without getting so overwhelmed by the process that you give up on the whole thing. Planning your wedding can be a good time, promise.

 

 

Every elopement package includes:

 

  • Photography (obviously); let’s talk and figure out exactly what you need
  • Highlight film
  • Accommodations and assistance for neurodivergent folks
  • All your images displayed in a beautiful, digital gallery that tells the story of your elopement
  • Printing rights to your images
  • Unlimited downloads
  • Hands-on planning assistance and consultations for everything from personalized location help to a bespoke wedding day timeline
  • My travel anywhere in Washington

 

Be seen. Be celebrated. Be exactly who you are. And enjoy the process.

Hire Rachel! We truly cannot endorse them enough. They were friendly and helpful from the start, and incredibly easy to work with. We were on a short timeline, and they came through for us every step of the way, including getting us a permit for our location with short notice. They are thorough, thoughtful, and professional in every aspect of their work. They are an incredibly gifted photographer with a wonderful personality. Finding a photographer that we were comfortable with was a priority for us, and by the day of our ceremony, we felt like we had known them for ages. By the end of our time together, we were in pain from smiling and laughing so much. They truly get to know you individually, and as a couple, so that they are prepared to capture the meaningful moments of your day. Rachel is professional and talented. They are very laid-back and know how to make their clients feel special and comfortable. They genuinely enjoy what they do and will do everything that they can to make sure that you are prepared for and happy with what you have planned for your ceremony. They are so good at what they do that the whole process felt easy. We could not have asked for more of the entire experience.

Rachel is not only a technically skilled photographer, but a joyful presence to be around. Rachel does a fantastic job of honoring the couples that they work with, meeting your energy and style so your photos feel like you. If you are a couple that feels at odds traditional weddings, Rachel will help you craft an elopement experience that honors and feels like you. From the start of our communication, Rachel was transparent, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented. The planning support, ideas, and recommendations that Rachel provided made our elopement much less stressful and so special. At the end of the experience, Rachel was communicative of when photos would arrive (which they did, right on time), and the process of reviewing photos, ordering prints, and saving photos was straightforward and easy. I am so glad we made the decision to work with Rachel!

Rachel is amazing! I reached out to them when I was starting to plan a surprise proposal and they helped me every step of the way; walking me through the process, meeting with me to discuss details, and even helping me find locations for the proposal itself. We did an engagement photoshoot right after the proposal and it was so much fun; Rachel made us feel instantly comfortable and at ease. Neither of us had ever had professional photos taken before but they were so friendly, chatty and calm that we almost forgot the camera was there! We absolutely love how our photos turned out and we really hope to work with them again in the future!

We would give 6 Stars if we could! We loved our experience from start to finish, as well as the edited pictures we received. If you are looking for a patient, kind and naturally talented photographer Rachel is the one to book. They truly love what they do, and we loved working with them.

My fiancé Kay and I had such a wonderful experience taking photos with Rachel. We like many others get super awkward when a lens is pointed in our direction. Rachel had a great way of making us feel comfortable enough to be ourselves and was able to capture who we are as a couple. They communicated well with us about what we were doing next and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. Not to mention our photos came out GORGEOUS! We got them back quickly and we couldn’t believe the quality. We’ve received nothing but compliments about our photos! If you’re looking for an engagement or wedding photographer I’d hire Rachel, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Alexis + Kay

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Rachel as our photographer for our wedding. We had a small, intimate courthouse wedding with just our families. Rachel was there for it all. From getting ready, to the first look, to portraits, to the courthouse to the dinner afterwards.

Rachel was a lot of fun to work with. They just captured us naturally and it really shows in the photos. They never pushed us to take certain photos. It was up to what we wanted and that was awesome. They did a really phenomenal job on being in the right places at the right time.

After our big day I was really surprised by how short the turn around time was for when we got the photos in hand. They did an amazing job at editing the photos and there wasn’t a single photo that needed any further editing. I also really enjoy that all of our photos were made available to us digitally.

Overall I would highly recommend Rachel. They were professional, smart and funny and was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer.

Matthew + Phaedra

Rachel did an incredible job as our wedding photographer! We enjoyed every moment with them, from our engagement shoot to the big day. Their easygoing nature was super helpful when nerves and stress can run high. The photos are amazing quality; she did a great job documenting the day and capturing natural moments. We love looking though them and can't wait to print and hang in our home. She also gave us a couple referrals for both hair stylists and videographer, helping make sure that the day ran smoothly! We'd definitely hire Rachel again, and would refer them to others in a heartbeat.
