Did you know I have an associate lead photographer Did you know I have an associate lead photographer who also shoots for my business? This is Allison!⁠ .⁠ Allison’s goal is to capture you, as the story of your wedding day unfolds, while also helping you feel relaxed and in good hands. She places an emphasis on storytelling through photos. During portraits, she’ll guide you through poses and work through the shot list, ensuring nothing is missed and that you have fun. During your intimate moments, she shoots with a photojournalistic eye – capturing the real emotions on your wedding day, without drawing attention to her task.⁠ .⁠ In her own words: “Emotion is what brings your wedding photos to life, and preserving those fun and most intimate moments are what I love most.”⁠ .⁠ After the wedding, we collaborate on the final product: Allison sorts through and cultivates a gallery of images to best tell the story of your wedding day. I take care of editing with my vibrant true-to-life color styles.⁠ .⁠ We're booth actively booking weddings for 2022 and 2023. We also have a couple dates left for 2021, but those are 90% filled!⁠ .⁠ #rachelphotomn

Fun fact about me: I have a bachelor of arts degre Fun fact about me: I have a bachelor of arts degree, from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, where I double majored in Writing and Mass Media Communication. I shot my first wedding between my junior and senior year of college, and I was 100% hooked.⁠ .⁠ After graduating, I continued photographing weddings (for my own clients, and second shooting for other established professionals), while also working as a project manager and creative coordinator for an events and media production company. ⁠ .⁠ Learning from other photographers has helped me see how they do things, and over time, adopt my own personal shooting style.⁠ I take a hands-on approach to pre-planning and helping pose, but I also value listening and working with clients. I want to meet you where you're at, and help you implement your vision.⁠ .⁠ If learning from other photographers helped me be a stronger photographer, my experience in producing events and media projects serves as the backbone of how I operate my photography business.⁠ . For me, it’s more than showing up on the wedding day — I value the client communication process, having a solid plan for your wedding day, discussing and working with your vision, and making everyone is on the same page. On your wedding day, I'll drive the photography schedule and check things off our shot list, we'll have fun, and I'll make sure you still have time for yourselves on the day.⁠ .⁠ #rachelphotomn
New on the blog: 20 Engagement Session Poses!⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ I love engagement sessions -- they're like the photography warm-ups to your wedding day, where we get to know one another through the lens of a camera. I love their versatility as well: save-the-dates, wedding websites, announcements, and social media too!⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ Having a set of poses makes session planning a breeze on both sides of the camera. On the post, I walk through 20 different pose ideas for engagement sessions! (Note: I always come prepared with a plan for engagement sessions, but if you have ideas or a must-have set of shots for our session, that's great too!).⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ #rachelphotomn
Wow -- 1000 followers! While it’s a small milest Wow -- 1000 followers! While it’s a small milestone, it also feels like a huge step in my photography business journey. I should probably introduce myself again! .⁠ Hello, I'm Rachel! I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012, with experience in hundreds of weddings, portraits, and events. From the moment we connect, it’s my goal to help you feel at-ease. I know how to plan your photo shoot with you, where to take you for the best shots, how to help you pose, and (best of all), we make it fun!⁠ .⁠ My photography is crisp and clean, with true-to-life styles and colors. I love natural light and the outdoors, but I also love when I get to be technical with off-camera lighting in dark and challenging spaces. I use a variety of shooting styles throughout each wedding, which include traditional and contemporary portraits, photojournalism, in-the-moment candids, and closeups of every detail (big and small). I’m hands-on and detail oriented, but I’m also laid back and fun-loving.⁠ ​.⁠ What I look forward to most about each and every wedding is creating a custom collection of wedding photos. I won’t just photograph your wedding – I’ll create the story of you, uniquely yourselves, on your wedding day.⁠ . #rachelphotomn
