We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography and videography team! This husband-and-wife duo were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were professional, kind, organized, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day.
They captured every special moment so beautifully — from the big, emotional moments to all the little details and candid memories we might have otherwise missed. Having both photography and videography done by the same team made everything feel seamless and natural.
Our photos and videos turned out absolutely incredible, and we will treasure them for a lifetime. We are so grateful they were there to capture our wedding day and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable, and professional team!
Thank you so much for helping make our day even more special! ❤️📸🎥

Hello! I am a wedding photographer serving Northern CA. When working with me you get a personalized, custom package that is unique to your style and needs. What sets me a part from the large photography teams is that when you book with me I am the photographer that will be shooting your wedding and I have a turnaround time of about two weeks for your photos and videos. We are a small husband and wife team located in Folsom, CA. I am the main photographer while my husband, Jared is the videographer.
You're wedding day is one of the most stressful days of your life, I am here to make the photography portion a fun, seamless experience. I work hard to ensure your needs are met, I talk through the entire wedding day with you to find out the vibe you're looking for, the main events you'd like captured, locations for photos and anything specific you'd like touched up in post editing.
National Park Specialists: Navigating permits, logistics, and ideal shooting locations within Northern California is our specialty. Our main elopement/small ceremony locations are, Yosemite National Park, Redwood State Park, and the beaches/redwoods along the bay area.
The Destination Difference: We are built for travel. From coordinating multi-day coverage to scouting unique overseas locations, we handle the intricacies of destination weddings so you can focus entirely on celebrating your love, wherever in the world it takes you.
If your dream wedding includes mountain vistas, desert sunsets, ocean breezes, or the dramatic beauty of a National Park, let's turn your wild adventure into a beautifully documented legacy.
Services We Offer:
Photography: high-resolution coverage, elopement coverage, engagement shoots, candid family & friend moments.

📸 An Absolutely Wonderful Family Photography Experience! 🌟
I just received our final photos from Rachel Gilmore Photography and we are absolutely thrilled! Choosing her to captur...
e all of us this year was one of the best decisions we made.
What Made the Session Special:
Patience with Kids: We had a three year old in the group, and she is not always cooperative! Rachel was phenomenal with her. She brought such a calm and fun energy to the session, making her laugh and capturing genuine, candid moments instead of forced smiles. They truly made the experience stress-free.
Creative Vision: They didn't just take pictures; they truly created art. Rachel has an amazing eye for detail, light, and composition. The final gallery has a perfect mix of beautifully posed family shots and wonderful candid interactions that show our family's personality.
Quality of Photos: The editing is flawless. The colors are vibrant (or 'soft and timeless,' depending on their style), and the images are crystal clear. They truly captured the feeling of this moment in our lives.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing our experience with Rachel and Jared was. They pretty much made our wedding (elopment) day an absolute dream! Rachel was so responsive an...
d helpful, no matter how many questions I had, she helped create an itinerary for us and peak the best spots for the photos. It was so easy and smooth to work with them, everything felt natural and they knew exactly what they were doing. Very professional and organized. They even hiked one of our photo spots the day before and adjusted the itinerary based on the most perfect lighting. Throughout the wedding day they had so many thoughtful additions and details, it was truly amazing. The photos came out an absolute work of art and half of the people who saw our pictures and videos thought they were AI generated (some of them still think that and can't be convinced otherwise haha). Rachel also was able to have some photos ready SO FAST and had our little videos the next day, which was unbelievable. They both are also just awesome individuals, very fun and chill and we were truly glad to meet them and work with them! I just can't imagine doing this day with any other team. We had some small hiccups and had to adjust to weather and other things and they were so accommodating and thoughtful and always out our wishes and wants first. I will never forget this day largely thanks to Rachel and Jared!
