Specializing in 

I believe that every step of your wedding photography experience should feel like coming home — coming home to yourself, your partner, and your love story. 

Reliving your wedding day through your gallery is a remembering. Of who you were then, standing at that altar, making that promise. It takes you back. And suddenly, you’re in it. That moment. Together, cozied up with your beverage of choice and your favorite human on planet earth. It’s giving honeymoon night vibes.
 
During a session or your wedding day with me we're doing more than just taking photos. You're reigniting the passion in your life. You're falling in love again. You're going to have FUN!

my story

Hey, Boo - I'm Rachel

client love

Rachel surpassed any expectations we had. She sent messages leading up to the wedding, including thoughtful morning of messages! She makes you feel so special and helps keep your excitement running high. She showed up early to scout the best photo locations and I was so excited to see her smiling face when I arrived at the venue. Rachel was great at keeping our rowdy wedding party in order and kept everyone smiling naturally. She captured all the special moments and you rarely even saw her doing it. When we got our photo album I cried! Our wedding day was perfect and Rachel captured that magic beautifully.

As soon as I got engaged, I knew from Rachel’s instagram that I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. Her style of editing was exactly what I envisioned for the vibe of my wedding, and the service I received was more than I could have asked for. One of the best parts of working with Rachel was the communication. Rachel is approachable and was very thorough in getting to know my story with Justin to help her capture our wedding day. Rachel helped me by guiding me through the whole wedding day process. I am the first of my friends to get married so I felt pretty lost in planning an entire wedding, Rachel definitely helped ease that burden with getting my timeline set up early and helping the flow of things the day of! I have pictures that I will be looking at the rest of my life and hopefully generations to come.

- Lili and Justin

Rachel is absolutely amazing! Everything about your experience will be above and beyond what you are expecting. She makes you feel so comfortable while she’s capturing gorgeous moments for you! You feel full of joy and love and such happiness! But the best part is the moment you open your gallery.! You look back over the photos from your day and you’re hit with such strong emotions reliving your day all over again. 

Each and every one of her photos captures such deep feelings, and they come to life as you look at them. She has a way of capturing emotions in action. I am beyond thankful we chose this amazingly talented woman to capture every moment of our story from our proposal to the engagement session to our Big day!!! You will not regret this decision in having her by your side on the most important days of your life. Let her be the one to tell your story!

Intentional and sacred

It's all about your story. When our time together is over, you're not just walking away with great photos.

You’ve told your truth.

Wedding Day Investment

I know that choosing the right wedding photographer is giving you decision fatigue. With so many options, you want to make sure you're choosing the right person for the job. After falling in love with the photos and the human behind the camera, you're asking yourself, is it worth the investment? 

The short answer is YES. You deserve to work with someone that not only prioritizes your your memories above anything else, but also cares about you and all the things that make your love unique. This is why Wild Arrow Photography couples invest on average $6,000 for their wedding day documentation.
