"We hired Rachael to shoot our wedding. We’ve never hired a professional photographer so we weren’t sure what to expect. Rachael made us both feel so comfortable and was super fun to work with. She was excited to hear what we wanted and make our dream pictures come true. We got all the shots we wanted and then some. The photos look amazing! Easily some of the best money we spent on our wedding. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a photographer. She made our dreams come true!"

Frequently Asked Questions
hOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
I've always gravitated towards lifestyle photography, which means capturing you in your most natural, authentic way. During your session, I will explain some prompts and poses to get the most genuine laughs, smiles, love, and connection.
How would you describe your editing style?
Rich, soft, and warm, and a tad on the moodier side. If you're looking for light and airy, I'm not your girl!
What should we wear to our session?
Choosing what to wear for your session can be stressful! Trust me, I've been there. Please view the Client Style Guide page here on my website for some styling tips. I also offer a Client Closet which is free to use as well! If you're still feeling unsure, please do not hesitate to reach out, I'm always happy yo help!
How much is your retainer fee?
I require a 50% non refundable retainer fee for regular sessions, and a 30% non refundable retainer fee for wedding dates. A signed contract is also required as well.
How many images will we receive?
This depends on the session chosen. Please view the INVESTMENT page for more details!
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I know how excited you are to see your photos, and trust me, I am too!!! You will receive a private online gallery to your email within 1 - 2 weeks from your session date, and about 8-12 weeks after your wedding (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story in). You can also download all of the images from your gallery right onto your computer, tablet, or phone, and share the link with your family and friends as well!
What happens if the weather if the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of our session?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of our outdoor session, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location!
Do you travel outside of North Bay?
Yes! My travel fee is 0.60 per km to cover to my travel to and from the location. Additional accommodations may apply depending on the location.
