ARIZONA & COLORADO’S UNHINGED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m your best friend with a camera.
Your chaos wrangler.
Your bad-joke wingwoman.
And the one who’ll catch all the sh*t you missed while you were busy getting married.
I’ll celebrate you, support you, dance with you, and most importantly—shoot you.
Based in Colorado + Arizona, traveling literally anywhere love + trouble exist.
HI I'M RACHEL
Let’s be real — you don’t give a sh*t that I carried around a disposable camera when I was 8.
You want someone real. Someone who’ll make sure your photos match your vibe, your posing feels natural, and your wedding doesn’t feel scripted — but still looks f*cking cinematic.
You want a photographer who’ll advocate for you, guide you through the chaos, and know when to tell drunk Uncle Joe to shut it with his ‘lighting tips.’
The only con? You’ll have to endure my bad jokes and relentless sarcasm. But hey — you’ll look damn good while suffering through it
Fun Fact:
The first wedding I shot, was the first wedding I ever attended & it was my ex's mom's 80k wedding!
Rachel was our wedding photographer and just WOW!!!! She truly made our day so incredibly special. From the first phone call, Rachel was beyond professional, kind, and easy going. She goes through everything so thoroughly. We knew from the moment we spoke to her she would be PERFECT for our special day.
The day of wedding she was on time and just such a warm presence to be around and made us all feel so comfortable. She really understood what my husband and I were looking for on our wedding day. But hands down the BEST part is the album she curates for you, you can’t put a price tag on it because it INCREDIBLE and something we will cherish forever. I didn’t know what to expect but she blew it out of the water in every way possible. We highly recommend Rachel and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!!

Its your Wedding day
Why the FUCK not?
Your wedding isn’t a performance. It’s not about hitting every Pinterest checkpoint or pleasing Aunt Karen.
It’s about you two — your people, your vibe, your love.
I photograph weddings, elopements, and the in-between moments in Arizona, Colorado, and beyond. Laid-back, connection-driven, zero-stress.
If you want photos that feel real (not staged) and someone who actually gives a damn about your day — you’re in the right place.

Oh look...
Free Shit
If you want stiff poses, five hours of fake smiles, or a photographer who feels more like a hall monitor than a friend — I’m not your girl.
But if you want:
-
A laid-back, edgy, adventurous vibe (without hiking Everest)
-
Someone who’ll guide you through the overwhelm, not add to it
-
Photos that feel connected, not staged
-
A wedding day that’s about love, not perfection…
…then pull up a chair. You’re my kind of people.
This isn't for everyone
