Hi, i'm rachel

PHOTOGRAPHER / WIFE / CAT MOM / BARTENDER / ARTIST

With 6 years in the wedding industry and over a decade behind the lens, I’ve learned that great photos start with trust, connection, and a photographer who actually gets you. I’m not just here to show up with a camera—I’m here to guide you, hype you up, and help create a space where you can be fully present. Whether we're planning your wedding timeline or chasing golden hour for your couples session, I'm all in.

Photos that Feel Like You

MY PHILOSOPHY

At Rachel Joy Photo, my philosophy is simple: every couple deserves photos that feel as real, electric, and unrepeatable as their love story. I believe the best photos happen when you’re not worried about how you look—you’re caught up in the moment. That’s why I’m hands-on from the start, helping with everything from timelines to playlists to making sure you have the perfect shoes for running across a field (or dancing your face off). Your experience should feel easy, fun, and fully yours—because when you’re comfortable, the magic happens naturally.

You deserve someone who’s fully in it with you—not just standing behind a camera.

From the second you inquire to the final gallery delivery, I'm hands-on, tuned in, and ready to help you have a damn good time while we create something unforgettable. Here’s what you can count on:

When we connect, everything else falls into place. I prioritize building a genuine relationship with each couple because the better we vibe, the more natural, honest, and effortless your photos will feel.

I don't just show up and hope for the best. I help with outfits, playlists, props, timelines, locations—you name it. Every detail matters to the story we're telling.

You’re not getting cookie-cutter poses. You’re getting direction that feels natural, cinematic, and personal—like you’re starring in your own movie, not a random Pinterest board.
