Hi, I'm Rachelle. I live on the foggy coast in San Francisco, documenting weddings in Northern California and occasionally in other parts of the world. I shoot digital + 35mm film, each with its own purpose and magic. For 12+ years, I’ve loved this work and feel eternally grateful for being invited into people’s lives.
My documentary approach to photographing weddings is people-centered and rooted in deep curiosity. I show up without preconceptions of what a wedding should look like, and instead reflect the experience and feeling of the day.
I’m a grounded and calming presence, comfortable blending into a wide range of dynamics and environments. I show up with enthusiasm, joy, and a deep appreciation for the privilege of bearing witness.
My hope is for you to feel seen, to see yourselves in your photos and to relive the energy of this ephemeral time through transportive, emotive imagery. In exchange for letting go, you'll have an intimate, honest reflection and unscripted narrative of your wedding.
