Welcome, I’m Rachelle
A DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER LIVING BY THE OCEAN IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA
I strive to document people’s stories truthfully and with care. I show up with curiosity rather than preconceptions of what a wedding should look like, and I prioritize the way you want to experience your day above all else. My hope is that your wedding photos will reflect how it felt, and that they feel true to you.
I work with folks of all identities, expressions, and beliefs who are visioning any kind of celebration, from intimate gatherings to exuberant parties. If you are kind and open-minded, you are my people.
San Francisco + Northern California + Traveling Anywhere
relaxed & connected
Working with me is as relaxed as it gets. I’m a calming presence on your wedding day, comfortable blending into a wide range of dynamics and environments. I show up with enthusiasm, joy, and deep appreciation for the privilege of bearing witness.

wedding client review
“I could not recommend Rachelle more. We knew from her photographs that we loved her style. We could see from her work her magical ability to capture the raw emotion of a moment, the sweetness in an embrace, the feeling in a touch. We loved her style, her eye, and all the talent that went into her body of work. But we grew to love her even more once we met her. She was the perfect calming presence on our wedding day. The photographer is the person who spends the most time with you as you are getting ready, on a day when you are FULL of nerves and anxieties. Rachelle was there, a present, easy-going, peaceful presence that made both my partner and I feel so much more at ease throughout the day.
Her work speaks for itself, but her character is what sets her above and beyond. I would hire her again and again and again if I could.” — R & J
