Rachel C Bonnett
OWNER/LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Rachel—a wedding and engagement photographer serving Birmingham, Alabama; Huntsville, Alabama; Carrollton, Georgia; and Atlanta, Georgia. I believe your wedding photos should feel like you—candid, joyful, and full of real moments. My approach is relaxed and journalistic, blending a mix of posed and unposed images to tell the story of your day.
Based in Anniston/Oxford, I travel all across Alabama and Georgia to work with couples who want genuine, heartfelt photography. Whether your celebration is in Birmingham, Huntsville, Carrollton, or Atlanta, I’m here to make sure you feel comfortable and supported from the very first chat through gallery delivery.
You’ll always have two photographers (me and Melissa), an engagement session, and lots of sneak peeks to look forward to. My goal is for you to enjoy your day, knowing your memories are in good hands.
If you’re planning a wedding in Alabama or Georgia and want photos that feel true to you, I’d love to hear your story!

he created such a sense of comfort and understanding. She was very personable which made us feel even more comfortable with working with her. Her turn around with pictures has been fascinating as we had an album of pictures the next day. I could go on and on about her and her work but it truly would not do it justice.

her booking—she treated us like friends from day one.
On our wedding day, Rachel and her second shooter, Melissa, were total pros. They blended right in, capturing all the candid moments we’d hoped for, plus those beautiful, artistic shots that made us look like we belonged in a magazine. Rachel has this amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable, even my camera-shy husband was laughing and relaxed! She even brought an emergency kit, which came in handy for a couple of little hiccups.
We loved how organized and communicative Rachel was throughout the whole process. She sent us sneak peeks within days (which we obsessively shared with family and friends), and our full gallery was delivered exactly when she promised. The photos were absolutely stunning—every special moment, every detail, perfectly captured. The online gallery was so easy to share, and the USB keepsake was such a thoughtful touch.
Booking with Rachel C Bonnett Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. Her passion, professionalism, and personal touch made the whole experience stress-free and truly special. If you want a photographer who genuinely cares about your story and delivers breathtaking photos, look no further!
10/10 recommend!
