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.

Amazing experience with Rachel!

While searching for a videographer, we stumbled across Rachel's website and immediately fell in love. We were looking for someone who would be the perfect fit for us to capture our day in a way that nobody else could. We reached out and set up a video call with Rachel and knew that she was perfect for us. Through the planning process, she was readily available to answer any questions or address any concerns but made sure we knew that she wanted to stay out of the way and not add any stress to the planning process, which was amazing! She was so eager to help and ensured that we got exactly what we were looking for. On the day of the wedding, she showed up early and was able to capture every moment while completely blending in and not sticking out in the crowd. She was extremely professional and her passion really stood out to us. Although she was just one person capturing our day, it really felt like she was able to be in multiple places at once, never missing any moments. What was most impressive was waking up the morning after our wedding to an absolutely beautiful and perfect "sneak peek" video of our day. Rachel was amazing and we could not have asked for a better experience!
