We know and love our faith, we know and love our job and we love helping you have a stress-free wedding day that celebrates you and your beloved as you enter into the Sacrament of the Marriage.
I loved planning our wedding, so as a former bride, I like to say “I have been in your shoes.” We wanted a special day to celebrate that we can love because the Father loved us first. We wanted our wedding day to be a witness of God’s love, and it was.

While I will be the main photographer on your wedding day, my husband, Brian, is a big part of my success and will be present as my second shooter as well! I prayed for my husband for as long as I can remember.
After fervently asking St. Joseph for his intercession for my future spouse, my heart was not surprised when Brian proposed using a statue of the Holy Family, with the ring strung delicately around St. Joseph’s neck.

Yes, to have a Catholic Photographer was extremely important because they understand the liturgy and what happens and each part. There are special pictures and moments that if you aren't Catholic you would miss.
"I had many guests comment on how amazing they were to work with"
-Haylee & David Cadigan
Throughout the wedding planning process, Rachael became more of a friend than a photographer. She got to know my husband and I on a personal level and really dove into our story!
"My mom and I met with Rachael, and the rest is history!"
-Jennifer and Devin Donnelly
It ended up raining, which we were not expecting, and Rachael immediately came up with a plan so we could still get all of the pictures we wanted. I felt confident that we were in the best hands.
"My favorite thing about working with Rachael and Brian was how stress free and fun they made our wedding day!"
Family portraits are an heirloom and should be proudly displayed on the walls of your home to be shared not only with those who visit your home, but for you and your family, especially your children to have a sense of belonging.
There is a part of a child’s heart that feels like it belongs in their family by seeing their portrait on the walls of your home. A sense of pride of who they are, where they belong and comfort in their own home.
