About the Photographer

12 Years of Experience

I’m Rachael — a Halifax-based wedding photographer who thoughtfully preserves your memories with timeless and meaningful photographs. With over a decade of experience photographing weddings across Nova Scotia and the Maritimes, I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography that honours the true feeling of your day. My approach is gentle and relaxed: I move through the celebrations with a calm, steady presence so you can be fully present while I quietly document the story. Why choose me? I focus on the moments that matter — the quiet exchanges, the laughter, the unscripted gestures — creating images that instantly bring you back to both the scene and the emotion. I photograph a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every couple the care, attention and thoughtful storytelling their day deserves. Everyone is welcome; I aim to create a warm, inclusive space where couples feel comfortable and seen. How I work: from our first conversation to your gallery delivery, the experience is personal and practical. We’ll connect in person or online to talk through your plans, preferences and the parts of the day you most want preserved. I’ll offer friendly guidance on timeline flow and what to expect, helping the day feel effortless while still capturing the important moments. My style favours natural light and candid interaction, with just enough gentle direction to make portraits feel genuine rather than posed. While weddings are my primary focus, I also photograph engagement sessions and portrait work as a complement to couples’ stories. If you’re planning a destination wedding or a local Halifax celebration, I travel for weddings and love documenting events that reflect your unique relationship and sense of place. My goal is simple: to create a collection of wedding photographs that feel honest, timeless and full of meaning. If you want a photographer who prioritises storytelling, calm professionalism and real emotion, I’d love to hear about your day and how we might capture it together.
