Joyful & Genuine Images for an Unforgettable Day

Wedding photography is more than just incredible images, it’s an experience and after shooting over 280 weddings, I’ve yet to experience two weddings that are the same. That’s why the first thing I want to do is get to know you and your vision for your wedding. : )

Hi there! I'm Rachael, owner & lead photographer at RWP.

I’m a creative, curious and adventurous soul. A morning person, -Gasp!- and outdoor lover. You can find me reading, sweating it out in the gym or debating the greatest Marvel movie. My rockstar husband and I said I do just 6 years ago so I'm familiar with all the ins and outs of wedding planning as a Bride and as a wedding photographer.

I love wedding photography because I get to capture the love, joy, and excitement of new beginnings. Moments that come and go quickly, but are forever treasured.

Hope to see you soon!

Much Love,

Rachael W.

The Best Wedding Photography Team!!

Rachael and her entire team are truly the best! All of the extra care they put in throughout the process, from start to finish is so clear to see! Rachael, Erin, and Shannon came in with a game plan, even if it was raining ALL DAY, made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and captured our day perfectly! We were blown away with their ability to both create beautiful portraits and capture all the best candid moments throughout the day!! Our friends and family have commented on how INCREDIBLE the final images are as well as what a joy Rachael and her team were to work with on our wedding day! We would recommend Rachael Watson Photography to absolutely anyone looking for top-tier wedding photography! Rachael and her team really know how to take care of their Watson Brides!

Cannot recommend Rachael Watson Photography enough for your wedding day!

Cannot recommend Rachael Watson Photography enough for your wedding day! Rachael made the entire process seamless and fun, and she is so thoughtful and talented.

Leading up to wedding day, Rachael was so thorough and organized with her planning, and she truly cared to make sure that every single detail my husband and I felt was important was something she captured. Your vision is super important to her, and we felt that throughout the entire planning process. Plus she really cares to get to know you as a couple, which made spending wedding day together so much more fun! She also has so many wonderful resources for you to use throughout your planning process, like her blog and website which I found to be so helpful!

We had such a great time at our engagement session and it really helped to ease our nerves. Rachael taught us all the best poses and made it feel so natural to be in front of the camera. On wedding day, Rachael knew the perfect poses for bride and groom, family, and the bridal party. She made it fun to take photos for hours on end, and the end results are better than anything I could have hoped for :). She also helped keep us on schedule all day which we were so grateful for. I also loved the variety of photos she took of me and my husband - she took us exploring around the venue and I was stunned by some of the shots she got in places I never would have thought to take photos in front of! She has such an incredible vision and it made for the BEST photos. All our friends and family complimented how incredible Rachael and her team were on wedding day - they were professional and kind and were able to quickly and efficiently get our large family photos done.

We also had Rachael photograph our rehearsal dinner, and she stayed late to make sure she captured some of the best moments. I will never be able to thank her enough for her kindness and her thoughtfulness. Some of my favorite photos of the weekend were captured at our rehearsal.

Rachael - you captured our day so beautifully. We love every single photo and can’t wait to cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. Thank you for your passion and your kindness, we had so much fun working with you! I can’t wait to work with you again for anniversary photos, family photos or just any excuse to work with you again :)
