I’ve been to Edgewater park for Cleveland engagement sessions many times before, but never have I ever been there at sunrise. Mostly for two reasons: 1. I have never really photographed in the morning 2. I am not a morning person. But Steven & Teresa’s Cleveland engagement session might have me rethinking both of those […]

If you could combine all the romantic, cool tones, and industrial vibes, you’d have Matt & Katiy’s wedding at the Lake Erie Building in Cleveland, Ohio. Their wedding style was definitely an extension of their personal style and found a perfect balance between formal while still being laid back. If you want to see what […]

Once upon a time it was just me, and I photographed as Rachel Elisabeth Photography. That being said, I often contracted other photographers to help me as a second shooter, and that’s when I met Austin’s friend: Mitch.  We photographed a few weddings together, & it was really fun to get to know him. He […]

We had the honor of starting our wedding season at Mallory & Noah’s Cleveland wedding at Mapleside Farms. It was a bitterly cold day for April, however, that couldn’t have stopped such a beautiful wedding full of love. Mallory & Noah put so much time into their details, ensuring that every detail was either handmade, […]

When I arrived at Brandywine Falls for Nick & Danielle’s Cleveland Engagement session, we were in for a fun evening! It was fall, and it was a little wet. We walked down to the falls, and climbed on down to the water. Honestly, it’s a miracle we all made it out of the rocks without […]

When we chose to take the leap from a single wedding photographer to a husband & wife photography team, it was pretty scary! I didn’t know it at the time, but Austin was the missing piece to my business. We can both be pretty opinionated, and I wasn’t sure how that was going to work […]

“I see us getting married, moving in together, cuddling on the couch, waking up to good morning kisses, having arguments, making up after, cooking our favorite foods, smiling for no reason, annoying each other when we’re bored, having the cutest little babies, watching them grow up, never leaving each other’s side. I see us together. […]
