Meet Rachel
Because what matters most to me? Capturing what matters most to you. The tears, the laughter, the quiet in-between glances.
My goal as your elopement photographer in Moab is to feel seen every step of the way, and look back at your photos thinking, “This is so us.”
I’m here to capture the epic views, the big moments, and everything in between, as your trusted photographer in moab.
If you’re looking for a moab photographer who just gets it, sees your love, hears your vision, and shows up with their whole heart—you’re in the right place.

1000% yes. Helping you plan a day that feels like you is one of my favorite parts of what I do as a Moab Utah photographer. I’ll guide you through location options, permits, timelines, and even vendor recs if needed. You don’t need to have it all figured out—that’s what I’m here for. You just show up ready to get married and soak it all in.
Oh heck yes! Whether you’re totally unsure or have a few spots in mind, I’ll help you narrow it down based on your vision, accessibility, and the kind of scenery that makes your heart scream "this is so us". I’ve got you!
Do you help with location ideas?
Are you able to help with planning?
I’ve got you! In the 70+ page welcome guide, I cover outfit recommendations + tips for fabrics, footwear, and how to prep for all kinds of weather (because, ya know… nature).
What should we wear?
That’s exactly why I’m here. From figuring out if your dream spot even requires one, to handling the research, applications, and deadlines—I’ve got it covered. You won’t be stuck googling “Do I need a permit to elope here?” at midnight. Think of me as your Moab photography guide!
Confused on where to begin with permits?
I’ll connect you with local, like-hearted vendors who genuinely care about making your day feel intentional, beautiful, and so you. No endless Googling or guesswork required.
What about vendors?
No pressure. no expectations. just you two celebrating in a way that feels effortless + meaningful. that's my moab photography motto.
"She knew how to make us enjoy ourselves even without previous professional photos"
We got our photos back today and I am in love with them! Rachel was very friendly and knew how to get us to laugh, smile, and just enjoy ourselves even though I had never had professional photos taken. She did amazing work and went above and beyond to make our pictures special and a day to remember. Rachel made everything so easy and brought so much knowledge. She understands that each couple is truly unique!
Hannah + Troy
At 18, I left the only town I’d ever known.
Not long after, I left my home state too.
By 27, I had packed and unpacked my life more times than I could count, each move shaping me, unraveling me, rebuilding me.
Every messy detour bringing me closer to my true self.
Becoming a photographer.
The moment I captured my first wedding, I couldn’t shut up about it.
I was hooked—on the emotion, the storytelling, and on freezing a fleeting second that says more than words ever could.
That moment cracked something open, a path I didn’t know I’d been waiting for. One that aligned with my deepest belief: to live life fully, not just to exist.
And if you’ve found your way here, I have a feeling you believe that too.
I grew up with an adventurous heart and a passion for filling up a disposable camera in minutes on field trips.
I didn't know what I was doing, but my heart told me to drive 16 hours to capture a love story unlike anything I’d ever witnessed.
No big venue. No stiff traditions.
Just two people, in a breathtaking landscape, celebrating in a way that felt entirely their own.
In that moment, I knew that I could never go back.
This is where my heart belongs.
Helping the dreamers, the rule-breakers, the deeply in love souls who want a day that feels like freedom.

Traveling spirit at heart
I’ve always believed in experiencing the world through my eyes, as I hopped on a plane solo before starting high school.
Pottery obsessed
In my teenage years, I became hooked on pottery (I may or may not have my own pottery wheel at home now—IYKYK).
Dog mom things
And nothing fills my heart more than traveling with my fur baby, whether it’s a trip to Georgia or to the grocery store—she's always by my side!
Sweatshirt Collector
Maybe you can relate? Whenever I travel, I have to bring home a sweatshirt. It’s my favorite kind of souvenir. Something about wearing it later brings back the best memories from each trip.
Countless leafy friends
I have more house plants than I’d like to admit and I lose track every time I try to count them.
