Charlottesville wedding & Portrait photographer
Crafting exquisite images of life's most meaningful moments for the joyful & modern Charlottesville Couples & Seniors
I have a love for capturing timeless moments and everlasting emotions throughout the East Coast. Although I am Virginia based, ask me to travel! My bags are always packed and ready for a destination wedding no matter how far! In the rare moments that I don't have a camera in hand, you can typically find me exploring the best downtown locations or working away at a local coffee shop.
It is my deepest desire to preserve your moments through film-inspired imagery that represents your story. I want you to be able to look back in twenty years and not only remember what you looked like, but also what you felt like.

Rachel and her team were amazing. I picked Rachel as my wedding photographer because her style is timeless! She was very communicative throughout the entire process and is overall just an awesome, thoughtful, and kind person. My beloved dog who was in our wedding passed a couple months after and she gifted and mailed photos of him from the wedding. They were so precious. Thank you Rachel!!

She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us the most memorable pictures to look back at. Rachel is the whole package!!
Rachel is a gem! She’s not only SO talented and professional, but also the sweetest and most patient photographer I’ve ever worked with. Ali I were very picky with selecting a photographer for our wedding and we couldn’t be more pleased and happy with Rachel. Our wedding pictures came out even better than we could’ve imagined. There is no doubt that she has the skills and expertise. In addition, throughout our wedding day she was so calm, kind, and helpful.

Rachel is the most talented photographer I've ever worked with
She truly creates such magical photos. My husband and I connected with Rachel for annual family photos to celebrate our time in Virginia before we move out of state - and I honestly love her photos more than my own wedding photos!! She's so kind and such a bright light to work with making it a wonderful, happy experience. She went above and beyond in every way and we are so thrilled with the memories we have in these photos! Thank you Rachel!!

Rachel is the most amazing photographer, and I recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Before my husband and I got married, we booked Rachel for our graduation and engagement photos. The photos turned out better than we could have even imagined! A few weeks later, we had a private marriage ceremony followed by a reception with family and friends, and Rachel captured the joy of the day AGAIN better than we could have ever asked for. She is the nicest person you will ever meet and an incredibly gifted photographer!
