WASHINGTON WEDDING, ELOPEMENT, AND COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHER
About RACHEL JOY
It’s that in order for me to tell your story in a heartfelt and authentic way, I need you to feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable above all else. But in order for you to be vulnerable in front of my camera, you have to get to know me first, right?

Hi! I’m Rachel, A Washington-Based Wedding Photographer And The Only Person In The PNW Who You Won’t Catch Hiking.
Yep, you heard that right - I would much rather be hyper-fixated on my new favorite craft at home than be caught dead on a hiking trail on the weekends. Plus, home is where my husband and cats are, so what more would I need?
When I’m Not At Home, You Can Find Me...
Hanging out at one of my favorite breweries

Inclusivity, Connection, and Vulnerability Are What I’m All About
Inclusivity is a no-brainer – there’s no room for anything other than full acceptance and affirmation of everyone, no matter what your gender, sexuality, race, or color is.
Connection is the foundation for any trusting relationship. As your wedding, engagement, or boudoir photographer, it’s imperative that you trust me enough to tell your story. Because, when you think about it, I storytell from my perspective as the person behind the camera, and your photos will reflect that perspective!
Vulnerability is a mutual requirement from both of us - a quality that isn’t always easy to cultivate. My hope is that our effortless connection and deep level of trust will allow you to be vulnerable in front of my lens, resulting in the best photos possible.
