Rachel leads photography while Mark leads videography, creating a natural and relaxed experience for couples who want their wedding day documented in a way that feels real, meaningful, and true to life.

This thoughtful approach allows for fuller coverage and a more complete story of the day.

Wedding collections typically include 8–10 hours of coverage, a complimentary engagement session, and options for both photography and highlight video. Rachel also provides gentle guidance during portraits so couples feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera while still creating timeless images.

Known for a style that is classic, timeless, and real, Rachel Reynolds Co. captures weddings with care and intention—preserving the joy, emotion, and connection of the day so couples can relive those moments for years to come.

The best vendor I booked during my wedding

Whenever, I look back to my wedding day photos, I’m so grateful I went with Rachel and Mark. They captured real joy with beautiful artistry, and I got to meet two incredible people through it! Rachel and Mark are down-to-earth, so willing to help out in any way to make your wedding vision to come to life, and honestly just really fun to hang out with too. On the day of the wedding, I couldn’t have asked for a better photo/video duo to spend most of my time with - they made my day so memorable and stress free!

Rachel was so skilled at keeping to a timeline, but also excellent at knowing when it’s fine to linger longer to capture a special moment, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Because of her, I had the greatest gift of actually being fully present on my wedding day to just soak it all in!! I will forever be thankful that we entrusted this big day to them - book them now, you won’t regret it!

From a planner: Hire Rachel & Mark!

Working with Rachel Reynolds Co. on our wedding this past weekend was an absolute joy and delight.

Rachel partnered closely with us to ensure every moment was captured. From the first click to the last, her coverage was incredibly thorough, leaving no detail overlooked. I was lucky enough to join her call with our bride ahead of the wedding and heard how she expertly guided her through shot list development, support in family photo discussions, and made sure she got every portrait on her Pinterest board sorted.

What really set Rachel apart is how comfortable our couple was in her capable hands. My bride and groom are the type of people who usually feel pretty awkward in front of a lens, but Rachel has this magic ability to make the camera disappear. She turned what could have been a stressful part of the day into something they were actually excited about. They went from camera-shy to completely comfortable, and that genuine joy radiated in the final shots.

The photos are, quite simply, outstanding. If you want a photographer who brings both high-level professionalism and a vibe that puts everyone at ease, Rachel is the one.

AMAZING Experience & Photos

There is so much to say about the quality of work from both Rachel & Mark.
Starting with the engagement photo shoot, Rachel was so easy to work with and really helped us with poses and ideas, as my fiancé and I are a bit camera shy. She ventured with us through El Dorado National Forest for our dream snowy photoshoot and even captured some amazing golden hour shots. We were in awe with how much we loved doing a photoshoot!
Our final details meeting before the wedding was easy and quick. Her questionnaire asks all necessary questions and made the process as easy and transparent as possible.
Then comes the wedding day… we warned her & her husband Mark about some family issues and they worked with us to make sure the photo process was as seamless as could be. They were so positive and kind, kept a smile on their face despite some sideways comments from a few family members annoyed with having to take pictures. They were both on time, ready, and offered suggestions on additional poses and additional pictures. The drone shot with everyone was a huge hit with our guests AND worked to get everyone down to the dance floor!! Kudos for the creativity!! Overall, we had the best experience with Rachel & Mark and couldn’t have been more satisfied. Rachel provided sneak peek pictures SO QUICKLY after our wedding and we already fell in love with them. Thank you for everything!

Amazing from start to finish

I just got the last of my wedding photos and they are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for capturing our special day! The price was affordable and the picture quality is amazing! Rachel also shot our engagement photos which turned out equally stunning. She was great with communication and making sure every moment and detail was captured. She made sure my hair was situated for photos and helped me fix it if it wasn’t! She really went above and beyond with the pictures. I hate having my picture taken, but her style of taking pictures is more just “love on each other and pretend like I’m not taking pictures”. This resulted in more natural, less staged looking images that are incredible! I would highly recommend her for wedding photography, engagement pics or family portraits. Thanks again for capturing our special day ❤️

Rachel is Amazing!

Rachel is the best, hands down. She is so dedicated to her work that not only does she run around the entire time to get the right shot, but she'll even quickly venture into the brush to get the prefect shot. We were lucky enough to hire Rachel for both our engagement shoot and for our wedding day, and everything for both shoots went perfectly thanks to Rachel. She came to both events super prepared and had even come to our wedding with print outs of every single request I had, to make sure we captured everything. Oh and on our wedding day there were road and freeway closures due to wildfires, and she was still able to make it and not be frazzled one bit despite her route having been rerouted midway to us. Impressed doesn't even begin to explain how we feel with her, her work ethic, and her work. I honestly feel like our pictures could be out of a magazine; that's how perfect they came out. And I can't forget to mention the special moments pictures...she somehow captures all of the little candid moments that happen between posed pictures, that mean the most when looking back at the day. Hire Rachel, you won't regret it one bit!!

Love Rachel!

Rachel is so much fun to work with!!! I actually found her through a Facebook ad shortly after I got engaged. For once one of those ads led me to something awesome! Her photos in the ad looked so magical; so we set up an appointment to meet to see if we'd be a good fit and it was great! From our first meeting up until the wedding Rachel is very communacative and both my husband and I had a wonderful time working with her! Our (very affordable) package came with an engagement shoot so we got the chance to learn Rachel's style of shooting before the wedding. She's very photo journalistic and will perfectly capture your story! She shoots a lot of photos so you'll have a lot to choose from too. She did an amazing job capturing our special day! She got us sneak peek photos within a few days and the rest of our photos came in about 6 weeks (we were barely back from our honeymoon, so quick)! I'm very happy we found a photographer who worked so great with us! Can't recommend her enough!

Rachel is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

When planning our dream wedding(s), one of the best decisions we made was hiring Rachel. I interviewed multiple photographers and Rachel was the only one who put me at ease. Rachel was really able to look at the different styles of photography that we liked and conceptualize ways in which she could capture our multi day wedding in photography that will stand the test of time. Rachel was happy to be taken a little bit out of her comfort zone and experiment with me so that my fiance and I could get exactly what we wanted. I won't say that I was a bridezilla but I will say that I had a very specific vision in mind for what I wanted and Rachel was able to roll with low light scenarios, smoke bombs, champagne being poured from the sky and through all of that take amazing pictures with a wonderful attitude. In addition to delivering amazing photography Rachel really went above and beyond for us including staying in the East Bay for a long holiday weekend so that she could be at multiple events and even trading in some equipment to take better pictures in our low light ceremony after taking test shots during our rehearsal. Our pictures were delivered extremely fast (sneak peak from first wedding on Friday came while we were getting ready for the second wedding on Sunday) and the portfolio with all of our pictures was delivered within 2-3 weeks (we were still on our honeymoon in fact). In the end I can't say enough good things about Rachel and can't recommend her enough.

A a wedding professional, I look at professional wedding photography quite often, and believe I know quality work when I see it. When it came time to choose a photographer for my own wedding I REALLY LUCKED OUT when I came across an ad posted by Rachel Fawn. She is 5 out of 5 starts in quality, price, professionalism, creativity, and service. She was able to anticipate our needs, and make room in her schedule for extra hours on the day of. She had great suggestions for photos, and choreographed everything perfectly, yet it was like she was a very lovely fly on the wall. She was patient and flexible with the requests of our guest. She communicated with us very effectively ahead of time, in the moment, and after the event. There was never a moment when we had to wonder what her next step was. She was very organized and professional. Rachel was more than prompt in delivering the stunning photos after the wedding. When we received the photos we were more than thrilled. They were BEAUTIFUL. My uncle, who is a retired professional wedding photographer was complaining about how difficult it was to photograph anything in the lighting at our wedding. He was very impressed with how she handled the lighting. So were we!!! We enjoyed Rachel as our photographer and you will too! I hope to have the chance to work a wedding with her soon!
