Your adventure awaits
I’m Rachael Kazmier
I specialize in iconic, editorial, and joy-filled weddings. You can find me jet-setting coast-to-coast, doing what I love most - capturing your love! My photography focuses on effortless images filled with beautiful light and authentic emotion. With a warm and laidback approach, my team and I capture couples' moments in a way that’s perfectly custom to them.
So let’s toss out the traditional meeting for something that feels a little more us. Imagine we’re at a sidewalk café (in Amalfi Coast, perhaps?) chatting over scoops of gelato, or at a restaurant in Paris clinking coupes of champagne. I’d tell you I’m a Chicago-based girl with a traveler’s heart. That I spend my free time taking pilates classes or playing with my golden retriever pup, Camper.
Mostly, though, I’d listen as you shared all about the love of your life, your family and friends, and the meaningful celebration you’re hoping for at your destination wedding. You’d tell me how you dream of a day that not only looks gorgeous in photos – but one that also feels like the happiest day of your life. Effortless. Fun. Elegant. Easy...
Hi! It’s so nice to meet you.
Let's keep talking
Professional, kind, giving, and the most beautiful, positive energy you could ever want to be around.
Which – when it comes to getting married – is pretty much the best thing you could ask for in your photographer! Rachael will make sure your wedding is stress-free, and she’ll capture you and your partner in the most genuine way possible.
