About

Hi, sweet bride! I'm Rachael...your dance floor hype girl, the extra bridesmaid on your wedding day there to celebrate with you, and I always have extra bobby pins to take care of the loose hair that falls as you dance the night away.

You've probably got several windows open right now trying to choose your wedding photographer...and I encourage that! Making this big of a decision that will carry on through your life is huge! It's important that you not only love the photos, but that you also love the person you choose.

Because friend, your luxury wedding experience goes beyond me just showing up to your wedding day. It begins before as I answer your wedding vendor questions, walk through your venue with you, and craft your perfect wedding day timeline. Then after your wedding day, we get back together for your preview party to pop some bubbly and view your wedding images for the first time!

It's a season in your life that's all about celebrating you and your unique love. I can't wait to document it with timeless, romantic, joy-filled wedding images that capture the happy cheers and happy tears.

Reviews of Harp & Olive

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

We are so happy we chose Harp & Olive for our wedding photos! Rachael is the kind of photographer you actually want to hang out with on your big day — fun, easygoing, and totally on top of it. She helped us create the perfect timeline, recommended gorgeous spots for portraits, and somehow managed to wrangle our loved ones without ever feeling pushy. The photos are everything we hoped for: beautiful, timeless, and full of joy. We couldn't recommend Harp & Olive more! If you're looking for a photographer to capture your wedding or other big moment, you've found her!

Rachael is AMAZING 💗

Rachael is so much fun and she does amazing work. We ended up not scheduling an engagement session due to so many scheduling conflicts on our end, but she was so flexible and met us one evening for a drink just to chat and get to know each other before the wedding day. She brought her camera and we had a small impromptu shoot that turned out beautifully. The day of our wedding she showed up with her usual enthusiasm and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Not only are her photographs gorgeous but she’s such a beautiful person, I just want her to be my friend. Lol! You cannot go wrong by hiring Harp and Olive for any of your photography needs

Best nashville photographer

Stop here!!!
If you are doing all of your research looking for the perfect photographer, you can stop here. With all of the amazing Nashville photographers I know it may feel overwhelming. I was in the same boat until I decided to book with Rachael. My husband and I had Rachael take our engagement photos, our wedding photos, maternity photos AND newborn photos. Rachael is so relatable and makes you feel so comfortable. We have her photos printed all over our house. I could not recommend her any more.

Perfect Day, Perfect Pictures!

Rachael is simply amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on our special day! We had to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to COVID. Even through all the changes, she was amazing and supportive every step of the way. She not only did an amazing job with all of our pictures but she became a friend along the way. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. I can't say enough great things about Rachael. Thank you Rachael for all you did to make our day perfect! If I could give you 10stars I would. Looking forward to getting more family pictures done in the future! 💕

Can't get over how she did all that!

I'm not the bride, but I am the Mother of the Bride. Our day(I know... My kid's day) was as close to perfect as you can get and right there to capture it all was Rachael! The energy she brought. The way she pulled out their personalities. How she knew exactly what to do without prompts. How she worked with others. The way she managed the crowd. I just don't know how she did it and I can't tell you how thankful we are to have had her on the big day!

August 1 wedding

It would be physically impossible for me to give Rachael all the praise and accolades that she deserves! From the moment I contacted Rachael about booking, through engagement photos, bridal portraits, postponing our wedding, and finally our big day she was 100% available for questions, freak outs, and everything in between! Her beautiful work speaks for itself but when you book with Harp and Olive you get so much more than a wedding photographer- you get a stylist, therapist, and coordinator! Rachael helped me decide on outfits for our engagement shoot, navigate postponing a wedding during a pandemic, helping to create our day of time like and countless things in between. I couldn’t be more thankful to have her during the wedding process- not to mention our STUNNING photos! She captured each and every moment perfectly! I would recommend her and choose her 1000 times over!

Amazing photographer!

I could not have asked for a better photographer for my wedding. Due to COVID, there were lots of changes made, but one thing remained the same--Rachael helped me stay positive by always offering support and keeping such a positive attitude. Come wedding day, she had the most bubbly, fun & energetic personality that made everyone in the room smile. She was fully prepared and made my entire bridal party (all 22 of us) feel 100% comfortable. Her photos are amazing and so is she!

The Most Perfect Photos!

Rachael photographed my wedding on 10/26/2019, and I have never loved photos more! She was incredibly professional during the day and kept us right on track with bridal party photos, family photos, and photos with our dogs, despite the on and off POURING rain! Rachael and her team were incredible to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. There seriously are not enough kind things to say about Rachael, and the photos speak for themselves!

AMAZING and friendly service!

Rachael did an AMAZING job with my bridal portraits. She was easy to work with, flexible, and passionate. She was committed to making sure I had the absolute best shots to treasure for years to come. Her turnover time was quick and her work was remarkable. We will absolutely be using her again! She is committed to doing a great job and her work shows!!
