Rachael Marie Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Medora, IL

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed. (did i mention the photos she delivered are simply out of this freakin’ world?! because OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!)

I believe in the sanctity of marriage and am passionate about serving my #KHCouples and #KelliBrides with love and understanding throughout the whole wedding process. Being a wedding photographer literally is the best thing in the world!!

It could have not gone any easier when working with Kelli for our engagement and wedding pictures. She was highly professional and so easy to work with and part of that reason was there was always open communications going back and forth. She answered every question ahead of time and made what could be very stressful events of a wedding, stress free which meant the most to us!!! There was so much else going on and things to worry about, but the photography was never one of those things. We could not be any happier with the choice we made in having Kelli be apart of our day.

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot. She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

Hey guys, we are a collective that has come together to better serve our community. They say “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Benjamin and Kelsey met at a coffee house when Kelsey was a cute girl with a camera in hand. Needless to say, they discovered that they had a mutual passion for more than just photography. We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

If you are of the opinion that the photographer is one of the most important roles in your wedding, you are looking in the right place. Ben of Boxcar was exactly what I wanted in a photographer: easy to work with, flexible, personable, adventurous, respectful, responsive, passionate and generous. In addition to being an all-around great guy, Ben also knows how to use a camera. I'm not sure I am qualified to try and classify his style, but I would say it has a certain photo-journalist quality to it. A quality that conveys realism, but is also very artistic. Long and short of it is, I highly recommend this guy. You will not be disappointed.

I've been filming weddings for over 5 years now and to this day I love being behind the lens and getting creative with each unique wedding. Capturing lifelong memories, that you'd be able to playback with your family and friends for many more years to come!

When we thought about how we wanted to remember our wedding day, we wanted a mix of authentic yet cinematic, styled but personal, and ultimately a way to help us relive the happiest day of our lives. From the moment I found Anastasiya with Rose Gold Films, I was immediately impressed with her gallery of work, her prompt and professional responses and genuine excitement and enthusiasm for a day so far in the future. Her and her sister were incredible the day of and were so easy to work with. We immediately felt comfortable and trusted her artistic eye. We received a highlight reel maybe 2 days after our wedding, and she also sent us dozens of behind-the-scenes content and reels literally THE NEXT DAY. I can honestly say I watched that first Instagram reel probably 18 times in a row and look at those iPhone videos at least every other day still. The day after, you are still on such a wedding high and to have content literally sent to your phone/email 24 hours after is a feature that is 100% worth any upgrade price. And now I have all those sweet, candid moments forever. It's a new feature I didn't realize how much I would treasure. The full wedding film exceeded expectations and was a beautiful blend of family, friends and our closest loved ones. She also honored our wishes of keeping our vows just between us for the wedding film. If you've gotten this far and aren't convinced that Rose Gold Films is for you, I literally don't know what else to say. She's a 10/10 and I honestly wish we could get married again to relive every second of that day. Luckily, that's what her videos are for...

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.
