Lance & Uyen, sit tight... I've got a serious sneak peek coming soon!

I am so excited to be teaming up with Jackie K and Silk Wedding Boutique, located in my hometown of Farmington New Mexico. Jackie is a sweet friend with a tremendous talent as a wedding florist. She also just opened Farmington's first chic wedding boutique, and it's amazing! We went out on Wednesday night to shoot some of her dresses. Lindsay was the perfect model, and Penny did a lovely job on hair and makeup.
More of this beauty coming as soon as I get home and can edit on my iMac again!

Gorgeous...can't wait to see the rest. Always stunning images.

(06.22.10 @ 01:44 PM)Gorgeous...Wow!
(06.22.10 @ 01:57 PM)Girl, you are fabulous! I had so much fun working on this with you and can't wait to see the rest of them!
(06.23.10 @ 12:38 PM)I love, love, love your wedding work Rach! Please share more, this is such a beautiful teaser, we needs more my friend.
(06.26.10 @ 12:03 PM)This wedding happened on a lovely Saturday in La Mirada last fall. I had a ball shooting with the lovely, and oh-so-creative Shannon Leith. The day emitted happiness, and I can only imagine that HK's and Judy's faces hurt by the end of the day (because that's what smiling for 8 hours straight will do)!
The lovely couple chose to do a "first look", which I LOVE. I'm a big fan of a bride and groom seeing each other before the ceremony. I think it calms nerves, eliminates a lot of the jitters, and is so much more personal and intimate than seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day in front of hundreds of people. I love this series of three:::



Their outdoor reception was one big party in the park. It was airy and cool and relaxed and people had so much fun!
Because, really. How can you NOT have fun when there's a cotton candy machine and a May Pole involved?!

Yummmmm-o lady! What pretty shots, LOVE these last three! Spectacular....I know I have said this before but I think you have found your niche! xo
(06.03.10 @ 05:29 PM)Sigh....what a magical day & you captured it SO beautifully. I ADORE...love love love 9 & 10. I can just feel the joy & the processing is so soft & lovely. Nice work!!
(06.03.10 @ 11:36 PM)These arebjust allnbreathtakingly gorgeous, Rachel!! Some of the best wedding images I've seen!! They must be so happy:)
(06.04.10 @ 12:57 AM)What a fun wedding! Love the maypole and cotton candy machine. My fave shot is the middle one in the very last set.
(06.05.10 @ 03:59 PM)What a wonderful job you did. The bride looks over joyed and is just glowing. Great work!
(06.17.10 @ 09:23 PM)i love these! the one with her behind the door is drop dead stunning! perfect!! they are so lucky to have had you!!! congrats to them! ;)
(06.17.10 @ 09:45 PM)MY cheeks hurt just looking at these, rach! what joy, celebration and love you captured from this glorious day. bravo, my friend! and congrats to the happy couple. :)
(06.22.10 @ 07:20 PM)Backing up a bit.... I had the fun opportunity in March to shoot Bryan and Maryann's wedding in San Diego with the ever-fab Kamee June.
Kamee asked if I would come along and 2nd shoot for her. The day was beautiful- a bit windy, but beautiful. Bryan and Maryann were married in San Diego, then we wandered up to Laguna, and ended their lovely day on the Balboa Peninsula.
Some of the shots from our day::











A BIG congratulations to Bryan and Maryann! Best wishes for a long and happy life together. And thank you to Kamee for asking me to come along. I'm so grateful for your friendship!
These are WONDERFUL. I can't pick a favorite! Stunning couple, stunning images. So beautifully done.
