HEY! I'm Rach
La Crosse, Wisconsin-based wedding photographer with 13+ years of experience and over 200 weddings under my belt. I've been featured in major publications and on television, and I've had the privilege of photographing weddings from Wisconsin's bluffs to the Rocky Mountains to the cliffs of Santorini.
I've been featured in Wisconsin Brides, Say Yes to The Dress, Hulu, ABC, Minnesota Brides, Wandering Weddings, etc.
But here's what actually matters: I care deeply about making your experience feel easy, fun, and completely stress-free! I'm not just showing up to take pictures. I'm showing up to make sure you actually enjoy every second of your day, and that the photos you get back reflect the joy of it all.
I photograph weddings with a chill and joyful approach. Think: candid moments captured unknowingly, posed photos that don't feel posed, and a photographer who's genuinely pumped to be at your wedding! (I really am. Every time.)
you want photos that feel as good as your wedding day did
An experience-first approach to wedding photography making sure your day is captured in its brightest, most joy-filled form!
Because here's the thing.. it's normal to be a little nervous in front of a camera. That's completely normal, and honestly? It doesn't matter one bit when you're working with someone who's spent 13 years figuring out exactly how to help you relax into the moment
I've photographed 200+ weddings across La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, the Twin Cities, and everywhere in between. I've shot in golden hour, overcast, and rainy days, and I love all equally
Joy is meant to be felt, not forced
Posing
with 13+ years photographing weddings, I created a posing method tailored specifically to you so your photos will be natural + joyful
Every couple is different, so every session is customized directly to YOU. For example, I don’t tell you to just hold hands and look at each other, I help prompt customized directions that will only make sense for you two to bring out your true joy and emotion. This is why every session is so different and it’s impossible to be “bad” at taking photos!
So don’t worry, I WILL MAKE YOU LOOK + FEEL FREAKIN AWESOME, I PROMISE.
trust
You have permission to trust me fully. I do this for YOU and promise to help make your day laid back.
