A Cincinnati wedding photographer for couples who want to feel fully present on their wedding day

ALL ABOUT rachel

Photography, for me, has always been about bringing light into the world, not by forcing perfection, but by honoring the beauty that already exists. I believe weddings are made up of more than just the big moments; they live in the quiet glances, the deep breaths, the laughter, and the way it all feels when you’re fully present with the people you love most.
My approach is rooted in connection. When you feel comfortable and cared for, your photos naturally become more honest, emotional, and meaningful.

Rachel was wonderful to work with and I would recommend her for any and all photo needs! She did our wedding and engagement pictures and although my husband and I were super nervous, she made us feel so at ease and comfortable and our pictures turned out beautiful! Love Rachel and the work that she does, you can tell she takes pride in what she does

No

Thank you so much for everything you did on our wedding day! Zach and I were so lucky to have you capturing our moments. I can’t imagine the work it takes to be an awesome mom and kicking butt as a photographer, but you seem to be crushing both.

Do yourself a favor and hire Rachel right now! We were lucky enough to have Rachel for not one, but both of our weddings. She does a phenomenal job. She makes you feel comfortable which was so important for us. Our wedding pictures are stunning and we are so grateful to be able to remember our big days with such beautiful snapshots.

THE DETAILS

For couples who love nostalgia

I offer 35mm film and Super 8 film, a storytelling layer that feels cinematic, raw, and deeply personal.
It’s imperfect in the most beautiful way.

Like memory itself.
