this is your

legacy.

WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER, WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WORLDWIDE

Photos that make you feel

The emotions, the excitement, the goosebumps that come rushing through your skin when you realize that you’re about to marry your best friend, the one who makes you so freaking happy. Your eyes will light up, your heart will start racing, and I’ll be there capturing every single detail and emotion of your best day. Your photos should bring you back to this moment in time for the rest of your life. 


PHOTOS KEEP YOUR MEMORIES

Having photographed over 500 weddings in the past 14 years, I realize how important it is for you to find a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and yourself around them. My goal is to walk in and be your closest friend that you’ve never met, to make you so comfortable that you forget you’re being photographed. A photographer whom you fully trust and know that they can handle whatever might be thrown their way (rain happens, let’s make the best out of it). A photographer who’ll have tissues in their pocket if you’re about to cry, an extra bobby pin for your hair or veil, and the right words to calm your fears and help you enjoy each moment. I know the feeling. I have your back on this, I care about your experience.

ALIVE & BREATHING

i'm preserving

your legacy.

MAKE NO COMPROMISES WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MEMORIES

I'll capture if all for you. The big old kisses, the deep breath hugs, the formal portraits (those are important, too, duh), the cake & maybe even dad pinching mom's butt after a few glasses of champagne.

WEDDINGS

Events are held on a predetermined date + time and are held in thirty minute increments. Included are 15 high resolution fully retouched images. Mini events sell out within minutes so it's best to join the mailing list to get first dibs.

MINI SESSIONS

Are you looking for moments captured that aren't weddings? Give me alllll the baby bumps, newborn snugs + whatever dang amazing milestone that you're currently hitting!

 "I followed Rachel along with her work for probably 2 years because I loved her photography style. I knew when I would get engaged that I truly wanted Rachel to be our wedding photographer. She is absolutely amazing. Her photos capture real love, beauty, detail, and candid moments."

her photos capture

real love.

Rachael & Ben Hartman

"Rachel and her team are amazing. A true professional - she listens to your needs, provides honest feedback when advised, and is SO MUCH FUN to work with. Leading up to our wedding, Rachel asked for a lot of detail regarding our family, our vision, our wish list, etc. to ensure that she is providing what my husband and I really wanted from her services....Nervous brides, laid back brides, type A brides, etc. - RACHEL IS THE PERFECT CHOICE! Thank you, thank you, thank you, RR!!

rachel is 

the perfect choice
