Photos that feel electric, personal, and unmistakably yours.
At Rachel Joy Photo, it’s never just about showing up with a camera. It’s about stepping into your world, feeling the energy of the day, and making sure every magnetic, fleeting, messy, beautiful moment gets captured with heart.
I don’t charge by the hour, because your story can’t be crammed into a timeline. Whether you’re eloping at sunrise or dancing 'til midnight, I'm there for it all—the nerves, the laughter, the epic champagne pops, the tiny, quiet moments you didn’t even know you needed captured.
My approach is personal, hands-on, and completely tailored to you, so you’re never choosing which memories you can afford to have photographed. You're choosing a photographer who’s all in from start to finish.

Whether you’re eloping in the mountains or throwing an all-night party, I’m here to tell the full story of your day. No rushed timelines, no missing the good stuff—just real, magnetic moments captured from start to finish.
Need outfit advice? Timeline help? Location scouting? Hype squad energy? I’m all in. I’m not just showing up to shoot—I’m here to make the entire experience easier, smoother, and way more fun.
Forget stiff poses. I’ll guide you into real moments that feel magnetic, natural, and like they belong in the best scene of your life.

Your wedding day isn’t a photo shoot—it’s the start of one of the best stories you’ll ever live. I’m there to capture the way your partner looks at you across the room, the way your grandma laughs during toasts, the chaos, the calm, the in-between.
You’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re hiring someone who values what you value: real connection, real moments, and making space for you to actually feel your day as it’s happening. Pretty photos are a given. The memories inside them? That’s what really matters.

Eloping isn’t about running away from tradition—it’s about running toward what matters most. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a cliff, in a city courthouse, or somewhere no one else knows about, your day deserves to be documented with the same heart, care, and electricity as any big celebration.
I'm there to capture the quiet moments, the wild ones, and everything in between—so when you look back, you don’t just remember how it looked. You remember exactly how it felt.

"If I was a billionaire and a photographer that photographed Beyoncè wanted to be our wedding photographer…. I would respectfully decline and choose Rachel. She was so attentive and present. She knew what to capture and honestly asked us if we needed drink, food, a break from everyone throughout our wedding. She was not just a photographer but also a friend. Someone who genuinely wanted you to enjoy your wedding and it paid off because you can see it through our wedding pictures. We will continue to book her throughout our lives because she is incredible and her entire booking process was super easy. Thanks Rachel for capturing our wedding."
"Rachel was absolutely insane! She was super sweet and personal with us as the couple but also all of our guests. All of our friends have said that they want her to do their future weddings. She captured everything we wanted and more. I’ve gotten so many compliments on our photos and how beautiful they are and it’s so true. She also flew all the way out of state to do our wedding that was on a Thursday and then even went with us to a different location the day after to take more pictures in our wedding outfits. I couldn’t recommend her enough tbh. Just tying to have Rachel do all of our photos for every important event forever so. We love you Rachel"
"Seriously..look no further!!! Rachel is the absolute best at what she does. She was extremely professional and timely in all our correspondence for our engagement & wedding photos! The quality of her work is exceptional. All my family and friends were so impressed with our photos. On top of all that her personality is amazing! She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera when both my husband and I are very camera shy. I can’t say enough good things so I’ll just say you won’t be disappointed if you select her for your special day!"
