About

Wedding films and photos that look and feel like you.

You’re getting married! Congratulations! You want all the parts of your relationship that made you want to do this wedding thing in the first place - the spontaneity, fun, intimacy, love, compassion - to shine while you celebrate your commitment, your passion, your joy! More than anything, you want to look back and relive the way the day made you feel!

Your wedding is about so much more than the bouquets (although beautiful!) and cake (although delicious, and I definitely want a piece!) - it’s about basking in the glow of the day, taking in the quiet moments, honoring what brought you together in the first place and what continues to fuel your love each and every day.

I’m a wedding videographer and photographer who values documenting moments over creating them. I’m a fan of couples who choose their way over tradition. I’m a lover of intimate celebrations, non-traditional spaces, and throwing convention out the window! No matter what your day looks like or how you choose to celebrate your story, I’m ready to capture it authentically and vibrantly - in a way that’s true to you. I'm based on the east coast in Portland, Maine.

single best decision for the wedding; lgbtq photo/video

As an LGBTQ couple, we needed to make sure that we hired vendors who were not just “OK” with our love, but were 100% accepting and affirming. I found Rachel and hired her to do our engagement photos after extensive research on photographers and videographers on WeddingWire, various directories and on Instagram. Rachel has an amazing way of capturing your emotions and not interfering with the natural reaction you have. We don’t like having our pictures taken, but we hardly even knew Rachel was with us when she took our photos at 5 AM on the beach. I also hired her for her beautiful videography edits and I do not regret it at all. It was probably the best decision of the entire wedding to have Rachel and her partner, Annie do photo and videography. I will probably update this review, when I have better words, but if you are looking for photos that capture the essence of your day, the feelings you have, the vibes, intimate, romantic, cozy, emotional… You need to hire her right now. We cried, watching our videos, and even some of the pictures. We consider Rachel and Annie to be friends now and they blended in with our friends and family so well. Could not recommend Rachel enough!! Hire her and you will be so happy!! Especially as an LGBTQ couple, she is safe and creates a comfortable environment for you to be yourself in. Definitely my favorite LGBTQ friendly photographer. Thank you so much Rachel, you made a difficult day worth it. so many of my pictures are such beautiful moments captured in time, and I can’t thank you enough for your hospitality, and your kindness and support throughout.

I'm a wedding planner and I really loved working with Rachel!

I was the wedding planner for a wedding that Rachel filmed and recorded in February 2022. What a star! I already knew of Rachel's work to help make the wedding industry a more inclusive, accessible, diverse, and equitable place so I was really looking forward to working with her in-person. Golly, did she deliver. She was easy to work with before and on the wedding day, and took extra care to support the couple throughout their wedding. Thanks for your work, Rachel.

Truly caring and talented videographer

My husband and I reviewed over 30 videographer portfolios before being referred to Rachel by our photographer. We knew we wanted video of our wedding but everything we saw just was hitting what we had envisioned. We wanted someone who had an eye for design details and appreciated the beautiful surrounding as much as the intimate moments between us. We also wanted to make sure we caught special moments with our guests as well. Rachel from the start was so thoughtful and caring. We didn't have much to prep her with before our wedding because we trusted her vision completely! Her and her partner were so great throughout the entire day, their supportive energy kept my husband and I focused on our love and each other rather than any wedding stress. Rachel and our photographer Avonne have worked together before so they were so in sync. We truly had the A-team of wedding photography and videography!! We can't recommend Rachel enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
