Hello, I’m Rachel
a fine art wedding photographer serving the Midwest and beyond
My days are fueled by hazelnut coffee and warm chocolate chip cookies. I am deeply inspired by the art of fashion and enamored with my sweet Jesus. Much of my inspiration comes from our travels — the rich blues of Portuguese azulejo tiles, the elegance of Parisian architecture, the vibrant soul of Spain, and the crisp white-washed hills of Santorini all find their way into the stories I tell.
fine art photography: a refined, intentional approach that blends documentary moments with editorial composition to create timeless, heirloom-quality images
I’m married to the love of my life—a true romantic whose unwavering optimism has shaped much of who I am. When we were newlyweds, we made a promise to renew our vows in Greece every decade and so far, have kept that promise. He is the reason I believe so deeply in the beauty and sacredness of marriage. I hope our three children inherit every bit of his warmth and heart.
My mission is to craft timeless, true toned images that authentically capture the beauty and emotion of your wedding day. With a focus on clean compositions and compelling storytelling, I am committed to serving you wholeheartedly—delivering an elevated experience and a thoughtfully curated gallery you will cherish forever.
