NYC Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Rachael!
New York City Wedding Photographer
I’m Rachael! As an experienced wedding photographer with over 11 years in the industry and more than 300 weddings captured, I bring a refined, editorial eye to every celebration. I’ve always drawn to the timeless charm and electric energy of New York City. I specialize in curating sophisticated, story-driven wedding photography for couples who value emotion, beauty, and authenticity.
Whether your dream day unfolds at an iconic NYC venue or an intimate rooftop overlooking the skyline, my goal is to create a seamless experience and deliver a gallery that feels as elevated as your celebration. I take on a select number of weddings each year, allowing me to give each couple my full attention — from detailed planning and location guidance to artistic direction on the day of and meticulous post-production.
As a New York wedding photographer passionate about destination love stories, I craft images that blend editorial elegance with heartfelt storytelling. Every wedding is an opportunity to capture legacy — fleeting moments, stylish details, and the emotion that makes your story one of a kind.
If you're planning a wedding in New York City or dreaming of a luxury destination wedding, I’d be honored to document your love with grace, intention, and timeless beauty.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
