My name's Rachel, but most people call me Rach. I'm a laugher. I talk a little too loud, and sometimes a little too much. A New Yorker, turned Bostonian, turned back to New Yorker. Traveling is my favorite thing...ever. I order in Thai food about three times a week (I know, it's a problem). My glass isn't just full, it's overflowing, and I am committed to capturing the true beauty and joy I see in the world. If you're looking for a photographer who isn't just there to click the button, but to go the extra mile and become pals with, look no further.

After ten years as a New York-based photographer, I recently moved to Argentina and now return to NY once or twice a year for weddings.

What I love most is getting to know each couple and creating photographs that feel personal, honest, and true to them.

I am a quiet presence who notices what goes unseen. I don’t arrive with a checklist. I arrive with intuition, empathy, and care. Not just as a vendor, but as a trusted friend—someone who listens, who feels, who sees.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )
