FORT COLLINS & BEYOND

COLORADO MICRO WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

AN ODE TO LIVING UNTETHERED & FREE

Photography rooted in love and the landscapes we wander.

You know how you feel when you’re out there
Fireside with friends, under pinpricks of light lifetimes away. When you feel full of every feeling, every moment. That’s the essence I want to capture in every photograph.

Whether you’re loving out beyond the horizon or right in town, whatever feels true – whatever feels like coming home – hell yeah, let’s go! I want my photography to honor the way you intertwine with your favorite people and how it feels to be rooted in the places that hold you best. Wherever your love belongs –

SEE YOU OUT THERE

AN ODE TO THE EARTH

Your story is a damn good one, and it’s worth telling. Your story is a damn good one, and it’s worth telling. Your story is a damn good one, and it’s worth telling.

Hey, hey – Rach here!

Growing up in a small lakeside village in NE Ohio, I felt a deep connection to the outdoors and a longing to explore beyond my little world.

I believe in nature and the way it makes us feel most alive. I love the mountains and valleys of Colorado, alpenglow, and the moon rising over the pines. I love wandering out beyond the horizon and campfire conversations that last deep into the night. 

But most of all, I love photographing lovers and wanderers wherever they feel most at home. Documenting them exactly as they are with who they love. It’s allowed me to start living the happiest version of my life so far – and I can’t wait to meet you!

The second I checked out her website I knew that she was THE ONE that we had to have to capture our wedding day. We set up our engagement session in Rocky Mountain National Park and she exceeded every expectation that we had.”

“[Talking to Rachel] felt like talking to an old friend, and I felt so comfortable and excited to work with her.”
