My name is Rachel (she/They)

I am a modern wedding photographer and portrait photographer who loves creating timeless, romantic, and candid images with a creative, emotive approach. I’m always excited to collaborate with unique, quirky, geeky, DIY, rad, and LGBTQIA+ couples and families. Based in Los Angeles, I’m currently available to photograph small, intimate weddings and heartfelt family portraits.

A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PHotographer obsessed with weddings

Early on, I experimented with many different kinds of photography. In 2011 I discovered that nothing brings me greater joy than the emotions and challenges of documenting weddings. The tears, the laughter, and even the beautiful chaos nourish my soul. At nearly every wedding there’s a moment when I feel completely certain I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Being a wedding photographer is truly my DREAM job.

First comes love

Getting to know you, seeing you in your element, and having the time to be creative are what make an engagement session truly worth it. Whether we’re grabbing a cup of coffee at your favorite local coffeehouse or revisiting the spot at Disneyland where you shared your first date, choosing a meaningful location lets your personalities shine and creates a comfortable, authentic space to be in love.

I’m available to photograph your engagement anywhere throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, including Orange County, Ventura County, and Santa Clarita, with no travel fee.

Family is everything

I come from a huge and loving Filipino family who taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. Now that I have my own little family, I’m reminded every day how fleeting life can be. I often wish I could freeze time — and in many ways, I can.

Being a wedding photographer naturally connects to family photography; witnessing families grow and change over the years is a deep honor.
