About this vendor
Hello!
I am 29 years old and still love juice and soft serve vanilla ice cream cones. Chocolate chips are my editing fuel. I am an enneagram 9 w 1 who shops nearly exclusively at H&M and will take any excuse to travel the world. My husband is an insanely handsome and optimistic man who teaches middle school math and science. Our son Zion and our daughter Roman have their Daddy's blue eyes and are the joys of our lives.
My photography style is natural, bright and authentic. I love to be as behind the scenes as possible during your wedding day, while also taking charge and keeping everything running smoothly during portrait times. I love capturing real, authentic moments while creating art and delivering images that will stand the test of time. Ones that will you will look back on and be able to show your grandkids exactly what your wedding day looked like. I'd love to chat if you are interested in hearing more about my collections and offerings.
Talk to you soon!
Rachel

Rachel was amazing to work with!! My husband and I keep saying that hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She truly goes above and beyond for her client...
s. Not only does she take gorgeous photos, but she’s such a genuine, kind person to be around. We had the chance to work with her for our engagement shoot in Chicago, our wedding in Grand Rapids, and a honeymoon session in Santorini, and every single time she delivered photos we absolutely love. I was a type A bride, but Rachel made me feel completely at ease. She notices all the little details, gives great ideas for locations and timing, and was always quick to respond to my million questions. She has such a gift for capturing real emotion, looking through our photos makes me feel like I’m right back in those moments. If you’re thinking about booking Rachel, absolutely do it!! Thank you, Rachel, for capturing our memories so beautifully.
I found Rachel on a whim, looking for a West Michigan photographer with an editing style exactly like Rachel's-- beautiful, bright colors of both candid and posed photos.

id our engagement and wedding photography for our big day in August of 2024. She was so kind and brought a warm energy to the room. She gave us direction, and at the same time let us move naturally together-- capturing hundreds (no exaggeration) of candids and intimate moments in between posed photos. We also received hundreds of photos of our guests that have brought such joy to us and our families.
I would highly recommend hiring Rachel for any event, but especially if you are getting married. She goes above and beyond.
Rachel was our wedding photographer and we cannot express how amazing she is! We have not even received our full album, but just the previews show how perfectly she captured our we...
dding day. Her photography is timeless and so beautiful. Her calm, organized presence was exactly what I needed during the wedding day and I felt confident knowing nothing would go wrong with Rachel around. We received a large number of pictures just a couple days after our wedding and we are so excited to see the rest of the album.
Rachel was the only choice for our wedding photographer from the very beginning. I have followed her career for a long time and always admired the photos she was producing. I was t...
hrilled that we were able to book her. She was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the entire process. Our entire wedding party complimented her style and said they felt so comfortable, even when we were shooting for multiple hours. My now-husband normally hates taking photos and he actually enjoyed himself. Rachel and her second shooter Lindsay were very friendly and easy to talk to, yet gave clear direction while they were shooting. Rachel delivered our preview photos 2 days after our event and we are thrilled with them! We look forward to using Rachel’s services in the future for family shoots.
Rachel photographed our July 2019 wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision. I followed Rachel on social media for awhile before we started wedding planning, and by the ...
time it came for us to book a photographer it was a no-brainer. Rachel is incredibly thoughtful and organized as well as being super talented at her work. She did our engagement pictures as well, which was a great chance for us to get to know each other. She also sent a bridal guide further along in the process, which contained super helpful timeline hints, general tips as well as vendor recommendations (this was extremely helpful when we sat down to hammer out a timeline! It really helps to know how long photographs will take so you can plan the rest of your day accordingly.) The day of our wedding, Rachel was an absolute superstar on one of the hottest days of the summer. I love each and every one of the photos she and her assistant took - all of this while Rachel was 7 months pregnant! After the wedding we got our previews within DAYS - which was an absolute gift. She also managed to finish our entire album before having her first baby (like I said, the woman is a superstar.) Our flash drive arrived in the mail along with a beautiful sketch drawing of one of her pictures of my husband and me, with a wooden display stand handmade for us by her father. I was absolutely blown away. Every interaction with Rachel was a joy - she is so organized (which a type-A person like me desperately needed,) and she is also one of the sweetest people you will meet. On top of all of this, her work is beautiful - she is a perfectionist and it shows. You cannot do better than Rachel - thank you so, so much for capturing our day so perfectly!!
Besides marrying my husband, having Rachel as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! She is both extremely talented and incredibly personable. She ...
did a great job of instructed us on where/how to pose, yet she also allowed us space to be ourselves. For family and group pictures, she was assertive which allowed for us to fly through the pictures and spend more quality time as bride and groom. While we've only seen the sneak peek pictures, they're BEAUTIFUL! Everything we could have ever dreamed. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel's personality and talent. I highly, highly recommend her!
My husband and I got married on January 19th and Rachel was our amazing photographer! From back in April when we had our engagement session to our wedding day, she made us feel co...
mfortable in every setting. Rachel is a sweet, professional, and organized photographer. She made sure we stayed on time and chased us around multiple locations to capture the most incredible photos, including standing outside in the freezing cold! We would highly recommend Rachel!
Rachel is an incredible photographer. She is professional, flexible, kind, and makes being in front of the camera easy and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, she stopped by my...
apartment, our church, two different locations in the park, and finally our reception venue to capture each special moment. Rachel's photos are beautiful and truly capture the "feeling" of the day. My husband and I highly recommend her!
Rachel was amazing to work with. We are thrilled with our engagement and wedding photographs!! I would recommend her work in a heartbeat.
Rachel was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding process! We met prior to the wedding to talk about our vision and it is incredibly evident that she is passionate about ...
her photography and wants to make sure every moment is captured. On our wedding day, she made the entire wedding party feel so comfortable while taking photos and she made my husband and I feel so at ease. She made a point to snap candid photos, but she also made sure to snap photos of my husband and I with our guests. Overall Rachel is phenomenal and we can't wait to use her for our big moments in the future!
Rachel did our engagement and wedding pictures, and I am so glad we chose her for our photographer. Pricing is quite reasonable, and she turns out excellent work quite quickly; we ...
got our wedding pictures back within a month, and each week prior, she would post a new picture of ours on Facebook. As a person and photographer, she is amazing to work with. Throughout the process, she listened to what we wanted and had some excellent suggestions of her own. When it came to posing, she was really good at helping us to feel comfortable in front of the camera; none of the poses felt fake or forced, and she has a knack for capturing the genuine moments. The pictures themselves are beautiful: natural, but professional. Have her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made.
