Rachel & Mark Reynolds
LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER & 2ND PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER
Typically responds within 24h
Based in Pollock Pines, just minutes from Placerville, Camino, and the iconic Apple Hill, Rachel Reynolds Co. Photo + Video is a husband-and-wife wedding photography and videography team serving couples across Northern California—from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Bay Area, Yosemite, and beyond. Together, Rachel and Mark have captured over 200 weddings with a calm, joyful presence and an eye for genuine, heartfelt moments.
Rachel leads photography while Mark leads videography—but what makes them truly unique is their hybrid approach. During getting ready moments, they each capture both photo and video: Rachel with the bride, Mark with the groom. This allows them to be in two places at once—preserving both sides of the story seamlessly before coming together for the ceremony and beyond. Their teamwork ensures that no moment, glance, or emotion is ever missed.
Every collection is designed with what couples truly want in mind: real moments, beautiful storytelling, and complete coverage of the day. The most popular Highlight Collection includes 8 hours of hybrid coverage, a 2-hour Adventures in Love engagement session, and a 4–5 minute highlight video featuring drone footage and voices from your vows and speeches (with the option to extend). Complimentary raw footage is also included. The Complete Collection expands upon that with 10 hours of hybrid coverage, additional shooters, and both a highlight video and a full wedding film that includes your ceremony, speeches, and first dances.
For couples who prefer a more focused approach, Rachel Reynolds Co. also offers photography-only and videography-only collections—each crafted with the same care, artistry, and attention to detail. No matter which you choose, every wedding includes high-resolution edited images in an online gallery with full print rights, or beautifully edited wedding videos that bring your memories to life.
What sets Rachel and Mark apart isn’t just their experience or their seamless teamwork—it’s the heart behind everything they do. They believe your wedding deserves to be remembered not just for how it looked, but for how it felt. Their work reflects love that’s real, romantic, and timeless—the kind of memories you’ll want to relive for years to come.
Services Offered:
• Hybrid photo + video wedding coverage
• Dual bride + groom coverage during getting ready
• Wedding photography and videography packages
• Full wedding films (ceremony, speeches, first dances)
• Highlight videos with drone footage and voiceovers
• Complimentary raw footage
• 2-hour Adventures in Love engagement sessions

Rachel was so wonderful to work with, she really helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera! She was very responsive during the planning process, and was invaluable in helping us navigate timelines, the specific moments we wanted captured, and the balance of portraits/candids. Our photos are beautiful and the video captures the feeling of the day perfectly, we are so happy with everything.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Rachel for our wedding in Lake Tahoe this past August, and we can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, Rachel impressed us with her warmth, professionalism, and incredible ability to make us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Our engagement photos with her were a joy, and that same magic carried through to our wedding day.
Rachel truly has a gift for storytelling through her photography. She beautifully captured not only the love and passion between my wife and me but also the camaraderie and joy shared among our friends and family. The stunning backdrop of Lake Tahoe was seamlessly integrated into her work, and the natural beauty of the setting only enhanced the emotions she was able to capture.
The photos and video from our wedding were one of our top priorities, and Rachel delivered beyond our wildest expectations.
Rachel’s work is simply phenomenal, and we are endlessly grateful for the memories she preserved for us. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special day with authenticity and beauty, Rachel is the one. We couldn’t be happier with her work and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly exceptional photographer.r

Rachel and Mark are absolutely amazing! We booked them for our wedding in August 2024, and they quickly became our favorite and most standout vendor. From the very beginning, I knew they were the perfect fit for us. I spoke with Rachel prior to booking, and she provided so much valuable information—without hesitation, we booked them for both our wedding photography and videography.
During our engagement session, Rachel made us feel incredibly comfortable, and the whole experience was so much fun. On our wedding day, everything was perfect! Rachel and Mark had us laughing and enjoying every moment as they captured our special day. All of our guests even mentioned how amazing our photography team was.
If you’re looking for a wedding photo and video team, seriously, look no further! Rachel and Mark are the best!

Rachel and Mark are FANTASTIC at what they do and so FUN to work with! My husband and I did not have a lot of experience with getting professional photos done before but from the initial zoom call we felt comfortable and that we could be ourselves with Rachel and Mark. During our engagement photo session Rachel took the time to listen to us and understand our vision and guide us along the way while putting her own spin on it and we are so glad she did. She is truly an EXPERT and without her direction I know our photos and session would not have been the same. Once we got the photos back we knew without a doubt we had made the right decision. The photos were INCREDIBLE and really captured who we are as a couple. When it came to the wedding, Rachel and Mark (along with 2 others) showed up on time, came prepared and kept us on schedule throughout the day. They captured every detail of the day even down to my ugly cry face during our first look that I swore I was not going to be crying at. We have only seen a sneak peak from the wedding photos and we are already OVER THE MOON with the work they have done. We can not wait to see the rest of the photos from the wedding but more importantly we can not wait for more important times in our lives when we will need a photographer or videographer because we already know who we will call. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you guys SO much!!!! We have such amazing photos and videos coming to you VERY soon!...
And we would be so honored to continue to capture those important moments in your lives. As Mark says, "YAYeahhhh! Awesome!" :)

There is so much to say about the quality of work from both Rachel & Mark.
Starting with the engagement photo shoot, Rachel was so easy to work with and really helped us with poses and ideas, as my fiancé and I are a bit camera shy. She ventured with us through El Dorado National Forest for our dream snowy photoshoot and even captured some amazing golden hour shots. We were in awe with how much we loved doing a photoshoot!
Our final details meeting before the wedding was easy and quick. Her questionnaire asks all necessary questions and made the process as easy and transparent as possible.
Then comes the wedding day… we warned her & her husband Mark about some family issues and they worked with us to make sure the photo process was as seamless as could be. They were so positive and kind, kept a smile on their face despite some sideways comments from a few family members annoyed with having to take pictures. They were both on time, ready, and offered suggestions on additional poses and additional pictures. The drone shot with everyone was a huge hit with our guests AND worked to get everyone down to the dance floor!! Kudos for the creativity!! Overall, we had the best experience with Rachel & Mark and couldn’t have been more satisfied. Rachel provided sneak peek pictures SO QUICKLY after our wedding and we already fell in love with them. Thank you for everything!!

I could go on and go about how absolutely PHENOMENAL Rachel and Mark are. The photos and video speak for themselves, but they are just die to for. I'm ordinarily a somewhat self-conscious person and was expecting to look back at my wedding photos and nit-pick at how I looked during the day, but I didn't! The pictures turned out so wonderfully that somehow Rachel and Mark have managed to make me feel beautiful!!! I absolutely love all the photos, and the video is just so touching and perfect. Rachel was so supportive and by my side the entire day, while Mark was taking all the photos of guests mingling, decor and other details.
Rachel was great to communicate with and just so easy to work with. I really feel like we got to know each other even through our email exchanges before meeting in person on the day of the wedding. I simply cannot recommend Rachel and Mark enough. I am constantly browsing through our wedding photos and love being able to look back fondly on the day. Thank you so much for making our wedding memories perfect.

I can’t even tell you how grateful I am for this review. You are both some the kindest people we have had the pleasure of working with, and you deserve all the happiness life can give you!!! We wish you and your family nothing but immense joy in all the days ahead. <3 So warmly, Rachel & Mark

I had an amazing experience with Rachel and Mark Photography for my proposal at Lake Tahoe. Rachel's flexibility, helpfulness, and passion for capturing moments made this unforgettable occasion even more special.
Rachel's flexibility was a game-changer. She adapted to our surprise proposal's changing timeline, making everything run smoothly. What sets Rachel apart is her genuine love for capturing emotions through her lens, and she does it with exceptional skill.
What's truly outstanding is Rachel's photography policy—no extra charges for photos. This allowed us to relive our special moment without worrying about costs. Additionally, receiving a selection of photos the same night of the proposal was a thoughtful touch that made our day even more memorable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel and Mark Photography. Rachel's talent and dedication turn moments into cherished memories. Our Lake Tahoe proposal was made magical thanks to her, and we couldn't be happier.
Thank you, Rachel and Mark Photography, for your exceptional service and timeless photos that we will treasure forever. You truly made our day perfect.

I dont even know where to begin these two! My husband meet with Rachael before it became Rachael and Mark and let me say, Rachel and Mark were my dream team! They were very professional, fun and upbeat! I had a small meltdown regarding my dress ( zipper) and Rachael kept me calm and was able to caputure the moment in such a beautiful way! So much that if a stranger were to see the pictures they would assume it was just the bride getting ready. They captured moments during the reception that I didnt even think anyone was around to see! They were able to truly see us, and have all the emotion come through the photos, the laughs, the tears, the nerves.. you name it! So if you're looking for your dream team, call them! Book them! The outcome of it will amaze you and you'll have a lifetime of memories to last forever!

I do not even know where to begin with this review. Rachel (of Rachel & Mark Photography) is THE BEST photographer I could have ever asked for, and is an incredible person, as well! I booked Rachel in 2019 for my wedding in Fall 2020. We were able to do an engagement photoshoot in the Oakland redwoods and the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous! Rachel is a true pro and really captures the heart of the moment - nothing artificial or forced here! She spent time getting to know me and my fiance so that we would be comfortable in the photos, and was able to do two locations for us. The photos are all amazing and just feel really genuine. I knew I wanted someone who was going to capture us authentically and with minimal adjustments, more of a photo story than a stylized shoot, and that is completely Rachel’s style.
Due to COVID-19, we had to reschedule the wedding, and she was incredibly flexible and helpful with suggestions as we went through the re-planning process. In advance of the wedding, she sent over sample photo lists and gave good timing suggestions which really made the day run smoothly. The day of the wedding, Rachel captured everything we asked and more! We received a gorgeous set of sneak peek photos and her photo-journalistic style and beautiful, authentic aesthetic were so present in the first set of photos.
Finally, Rachel is a kind and generous person, who is easy to be around and knowledgeable about all things wedding! I honestly could not recommend her enough, and we were so lucky to have her capture our wedding.

Rachel was our photographer for our September 2018 wedding. We took photos in South Lake Tahoe and got married in Placerville. Rachel is the most accommodating and real photographer you can get. She takes amazing photos and makes you feel calm while doing so. She doesn’t make anything awkward and is easy to get along with. We have some of the most amazing engagement and wedding photos and are always being complimented on them. Every time we look at our photos or our AMAZING photo book I can’t help but smile. If you want a photographer who will go above and beyond, I’m talking getting into the river to get the best shot, then you want Rachel Fawn Photography!! Can’t recommend her enough!!!!!

Rachel is so much fun to work with!!! I actually found her through a Facebook ad shortly after I got engaged. For once one of those ads led me to something awesome! Her photos in the ad looked so magical; so we set up an appointment to meet to see if we'd be a good fit and it was great! From our first meeting up until the wedding Rachel is very communacative and both my husband and I had a wonderful time working with her! Our (very affordable) package came with an engagement shoot so we got the chance to learn Rachel's style of shooting before the wedding. She's very photo journalistic and will perfectly capture your story! She shoots a lot of photos so you'll have a lot to choose from too. She did an amazing job capturing our special day! She got us sneak peek photos within a few days and the rest of our photos came in about 6 weeks (we were barely back from our honeymoon, so quick)! I'm very happy we found a photographer who worked so great with us! Can't recommend her enough!

When planning our dream wedding(s), one of the best decisions we made was hiring Rachel. I interviewed multiple photographers and Rachel was the only one who put me at ease. Rachel was really able to look at the different styles of photography that we liked and conceptualize ways in which she could capture our multi day wedding in photography that will stand the test of time. Rachel was happy to be taken a little bit out of her comfort zone and experiment with me so that my fiance and I could get exactly what we wanted. I won't say that I was a bridezilla but I will say that I had a very specific vision in mind for what I wanted and Rachel was able to roll with low light scenarios, smoke bombs, champagne being poured from the sky and through all of that take amazing pictures with a wonderful attitude. In addition to delivering amazing photography Rachel really went above and beyond for us including staying in the East Bay for a long holiday weekend so that she could be at multiple events and even trading in some equipment to take better pictures in our low light ceremony after taking test shots during our rehearsal. Our pictures were delivered extremely fast (sneak peak from first wedding on Friday came while we were getting ready for the second wedding on Sunday) and the portfolio with all of our pictures was delivered within 2-3 weeks (we were still on our honeymoon in fact). In the end I can't say enough good things about Rachel and can't recommend her enough.
