micro-weddings & elopements

For those who want something a little more intimate, but just as meaningful.

WHAT
TO EXPECT

The beauty of micro-weddings and elopements is how deeply personal they are — no distractions, just you, your people (or just you two), and a day that’s entirely your own. My goal is to create meaningful, authentic, and timeless images that reflect your connection and the intention behind your celebration. I encourage you to immerse yourself fully in the experience.

By focusing on genuine emotion and thoughtful details, I aim to capture the heart of your day so you can relive it for years to come. I strive to be both fully present and a calming guide, helping the day flow with ease while documenting every real, unposed moment that makes your story unique.

Entrust in Rachael in your next wedding or any special event that involves being in front of her lens, because I have in SO many! As a fellow wedding photographer who has worked with Rachael countless times, there’s a reason for that! Whenever a couple is in the search for another talented photographer to add on to their wedding, she is always the first one that comes to mind. The best part of including an entrusted partner is simply TRUST. When including Rachael to my team, I can depend on her knowledge, proactiveness, and willingness to get the shot and do it with so much passion. For anyone reading this, having experienced and kind wedding vendors are a MUST and Rachael surpasses that!

It was such a pleasure having Rachael as our photographer. She is very professional, communicative, and shows so much enthusiasm and friendliness, rain or shine! You can trust Rachael to do an amazing job photographing for any special event (engagements, weddings, cultural wedding ceremonies, etc) - you won't regret it! Her editing style is bright, warm, and timeless. My husband and I are still obsessed with how our photos came out!

WOW, WOW, WOW. WHERE DO I EVEN START?!?! Rachael is absolutely amazing at what she does, and a saint to work with! Since the beginning, when we first connected with her, Rachael has been nothing but kind and accommodating, and even a friend. The vibes we got from working with her were immaculate, and we loved how easy it was to collaborate with her! Rachael was in constant contact with us leading up to the wedding, working with us to iron out the details of a schedule for the big day to help everything run smoothly, and smoothly did it run! We can't recommend working with Rachael enough!

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Whether you want a second photographer is entirely up to you. I’m comfortable and confident in my ability to capture most typical wedding days on my own. That being said, there are definitely advantages to having two photographers. We can talk about whether a second photographer would be good for your wedding day!

Once your photos are ready, you will receive a link to a password protected online gallery that has all of the finished photos from your wedding day for you to view and download. You will also receive a custom USB with all the photos. The online gallery will expire in 1 year.

How Do I Book A Date?

How do you keep my photos safe?

I can only reserve a date after receiving a signed contract and the 50% booking retainer. As most couples tend to have their wedding on a Saturday these are the days that book out the quickest.
