let's get one thing clear right off the bat—
hey bestie
i'm rachel nicole
a fierce oxford comma defender, never can say no to fries, and probably gonna make you laugh by saying something out of pocket with a weird expression to match.
some people call me queen of the disco, nostalgic glamour creator, bomb light genie, & the photographer around these parts.
at the end of the day i'm just rachel nicole, but i'll make you look hot as fuck on your wedding day —
I'M HERE TO MAKE sure THAT HAPPENs.
i believe that your love story is a fairytale, and the story deserves to be told as such.
i'm gonna make you look hot as fuck on your wedding day
Wedding Photography
for the baddest b*tches
let's get one thing clear right off the bat—
i'm here to make sure that happens.
i believe that your love story deserves a fairytale ending;
capturing moments that make you feel the same emotions you felt on your wedding day >>>>
my goal is honestly very simple.
i like good storytelling. i like the photo that might be a little over exposed because it was such a quick second.
i love the in-between moments. the "what the fuck" look between you and your best friend; the in–between is what makes your story yours.
details, fashion, and style are important to me & my work. i have a natural eye for details, which you'll see all throughout the stories i tell, and i appreciate good style AND fashion, because let's get on the same page here, those are two separate things.
i love cinematic storytelling, made captivating because the story is real —
and i love design. it plays a large role in my work, giving my otherwise documentary style, an editorial approach.
each shot means something, i'm not just taking pictures, i'm capturing your favourite day in a nostalgic and glamourous way, one that makes you and where you are look hot as fuck.
basically, i want to ensure that every time you look at your photos, it feels like you're right back there.
i travel the world taking pictures of the baddest b*tches around; it's not a big deal, but it's kinda the most fun experience you're ever gonna have.

my style, though consistent and developed over the course of many years, isn't a cookie-cutter-diy-magical preset.
each of my projects is unique for its own set of reasons. shooting and experiencing your day as well as knowing you as a couple, and the way light hits your venue or elopement location determines what the look and vibe of your final images will be.
i edit for your story; just as your details & style are unique, so are the day's conditions and lighting. i use these to determine how i apply my style, and because of that, each of my projects will look a little bit different.
peruse any of my love stories & you'll be able to see what i mean by this.
a few love stories i've documented
i have never seen someone so passionate about what they do ... she has a way to make you feel like the most beautiful person.

your love story deserves a beautiful tale
tiny tiny rachel nicole’s dream was to be an artist.
i have vivid memories of imagining myself standing with an easel in front of the Eiffel tower, a painting palette + brush in my hand, and a beret on my head.
while i don't paint often anymore, that dream hasn't changed much. i picked up a camera at around age five and was lucky enough to find one half of my forever passion. the other half i discovered in my teen years when i started travelling the world.
experiencing new cultures and being surrounded by such a diverse world + people who are so different from me, but also, kinda a little the same, it was like opening up the door to narnia, and i haven't been the same since.
combining my two passions is a fucking dream come true and i feel so lucky to call this life mine.
so here i am, ready to take on the world while capturing all the little + intimate details about your wildly unconventional love, because let's be honest: you gotta be a little crazy to travel the world with your heart on your sleeve, knowing you can't live everywhere at once, while doing it at the same time.
