MEET RACHEL

My WHY is rooted in my own love story. My husband and I met when we both moved into 1st grade halfway through the school year. What can I say? Somewhere between snack time and learning how to read, we fell in love. Okay, gross—that’s not how it happened—but we’ve been together for half our lives, and each minute tips the scale towards forever.

As you can tell, I’m a hopeless romantic and can’t wait to learn about your love story like a great book I just can’t put down!

"Someone told me they were jealous of my photographer"

"Rachel was absolutely fabulous to work with, and I could not recommend her enough!! She was thoughtful, paid attention to detail, made us feel confident and comfortable, and did amazing work! She was also just a joy to be around! From the beginning to the end, her communication was excellent. She answered our questions, helped us create a timeline, and even reminded me of important details to consider. The engagement session was so much fun! Her encouragement and cues made us feel like we could be ourselves. So much so that my husband left the session telling me he had a blast. The wedding was no different. I even had someone tell me they were jealous of my photographer. They saw her taking so many detailed pictures, paying attention to what was happening, and getting creative! Her photographer didn't do any of that, and she just knew the pictures would be beautiful. And she was right."

"Even our dogs had a good time"

"For a wedding things can get stressful...obviously. You do all this planning for the venue, the cake, the entertainment, and perhaps most importantly...how it’s going to look. With Rachel Anderson Photography my husband and I didn’t have to worry one bit ... we knew we were in good hands because Rachel is not only very good at what she does but is very personable and fun to work with. Even our dogs had a good time and they are a handful. ... All of Rachel’s ideas were professional and seemed like they were tailored to fit my husband and I’s quirks, as individuals, and especially, as a couple. ... We can’t recommend Rachel Anderson Photography enough for your next special occasion."
