About

Are you looking for a photographer who can capture all the feels of your wedding story with timeless and creative photographs?

There's nothing quite like the energy and emotions of your wedding day. Some folks call these kinds of photos moments “candids”. But I think they are more than that. These types of photos hold you, you loose yourself in them, you feel the moment all over again in these photos.

I am a creative. I don't use that title to set me apart or make me sound special. It's actually a statement I believe we all should use. In us all is creativity, even those who say they don't have a creative bone in their body. What's true to me is that I feel most like myself when I'm in the creative process. Weddings are the most dynamic, exciting, emotional, anticipated, and even unpredictable events. I bring my authentic self to the creative process of photographing your big day.

Last but not least, I’m a but detail obsessed. The details of your story, of your day, your vibe, and your look. Details can mean a few things when talking about weddings. It can mean all of the beautiful personal items, florals, stationary, and other elements that make up the overall designed vibe of your day. I’m here for it! I love a thoughtfully designed wedding. That doesn’t mean it has to be over the top, just that your vibe can be felt in these details of your day and they support that awesome love story you share. "Details" also applies to they way I shoot. When I set up portraits, I look for things that are out if place like boutonnières that have gone sideways or hair that needs fixing. I want to make sure you are looking your best for your portraits and often the difference is in the little details.

I'm happy to share more about my approach and style, but more importantly, I'd love to hear about your love story and wedding day. If you like my vibe, let's chat!

Amazing Photographer

Rachel did both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding and the photos looked incredible! She did a great job making two somewhat awkward people feel so comfortable and natural. She was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Truly cannot recommend her and her team highly enough!

We are so glad that we found Rachel @ Rachel Smith Photography. She is amazing! She captured the wedding and reception perfectly. The photos are stunning, not only are the posed photos gorgeous but the spontaneous photos are beautiful as well! Rachel was very easy to work with, was not at all intrusive, and we didn't have to wait long before we had photos!! We loved her and the photos are everything we had hoped for!

Can't recommend Rachel enough!

From the very start, she went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of on our wedding day, reaching out with a personal note to make sure we felt connected to her from the beginning. She took the time to really get to know not just us, but our entire bridal party—understanding all the personalities and dynamics—and it showed in how seamlessly she fit in and captured every single moment.

Her eye for detail and ability to be everywhere at once (between her and Brooke) meant that nothing was missed. We’ll cherish the memories Rachel captured forever, and it’s all thanks to her incredible talent and care.

Rachel Smith Photography is incredible!

Rachel was absolutely amazing - she did a fantastic job of handling my crazy family and of ensuring that my groom and I balanced planned and desired group shots with actually having time to enjoy our cocktail hour and reception. She got our preview album to us in a week. She was so personable - as soon as she walked in the door of the bridal prep suite all my attendants were so comfortable with her. Absolutely recommend. Photos attached are, of course, credit to Rachel Smith Photography!!

5 stars- Incredible Photographer

Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first meeting to the final gallery delivery, everything was seamless, professional, and full of heart.

On our big day, Rachel was not only punctual and organized, but also brought a calming presence that helped us stay relaxed and enjoy every moment. She knew exactly where to take the best photos and how to make unique photos.

The photos? Absolutely stunning. Each one is a work of art, with perfect lighting, composition, and a timeless editing style. We were blown away by how beautifully they captured both the big moments and the subtle ones we would’ve otherwise missed.

We also appreciated how professional and communicative Rachel was throughout the entire process. Quick to respond, flexible, and genuinely passionate about their work.

If you're looking for a photographer who is not only technically talented but also emotionally invested in telling your story, look no further. We can't recommend her enough.

Incredible eye for detail and the little moments

Can not express enough how amazing it is to work with Rachel Smith and her team (shout out to Brooke!). They captured all of the magic on our special day, and for our engagement photos before the wedding planning kicked into high gear. She was so flexible, and even worked her magic when we included our dog in our engagement photos. She made us feel so relaxed, natural and candid during each of our events, and we couldn't be happier with our photos. Love working with this team!! Not to mention, the quality of the photos she takes are truly professional and gorgeous. You'll have NOTHING to worry about if you hire Rachel and her team for your special event :)

Rachel Captured the Authentic "Us"

Both our engagement photos and wedding photos are absolutely stunning. She did such an amazing job capturing who we are as a couple and encouraged us to be ourselves. She really used light in the most magical way to capture truly gorgeous photos. I have not been able to stop looking at them. They bring me right back into the moments she captured so expertly.

Rachel is an AMAZING Photographer. We recently worked with her on a wedding. She sent the link to us to view the entire gallery and I emailed her asking if we could use almost all of them. I see many photographers work and Rachel blows them out of the water. She shot with a beautiful blend of creativity and photojournalism without missing the key shots you'd want for your wedding. You will not regret hiring Rachel for your wedding!
