I am so incredibly excited to announce that I received my very first COVER IMAGE under my business name. Woohoo! Southern Bride and Groom Magazine is one of the best in the south and it was my honor and privilege to photograph this styled shoot that will grace the 2015 Spring/Summer cover.

So long for now, Charleston

Lyman Estate . Massachussetts Wedding Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 13:04:00 +0000

This Chinese Tea Ceremony would have been enough to make it a special day. Add the grandeur of the Lyman Estate in Waltham, Massachusetts and a fun-loving, sweet couple like this one and you've got a wedding to remember.

It's tradition to play a few games before the tea ceremony in this culture. The groom wants to take the bride with him, but first he must pass a few tests. It's sweet and hilarious and so so much fun!

The tea ceremony took place in the library. Members of each side of the family sat down for tea with the couple, gave their blessing, and presented a gift. I loved seeing this tradition unfold. It's a symbol of unity and makes everyone feel as if they are becoming one family.

I have no idea how these girls managed to take the groomsmen's shoes while we were photographing the couple, but I couldn't resist getting a quick snapshot. What a fun wedding party!

The incredible and generous Zev Fisher was the primary shooter for this wedding. He's the best - go check out his work here!

Melanie & Matt . Boston Wedding Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 02:27:00 +0000

Melanie and Matt's wedding was definitely a day to remember. Some of my favorite moments included the flower girl's rendition of Let It Go from Frozen as the girls were walking to the venue from the hotel, a jacket they call Dukakis (I still have no idea why) that was passed around during dancing and making whoever wore it magically have killer dance moves, the chuppah that Matt and his dad built to symbolize the building of a new life together, and Melanie's comment while I was photographing the wedding party of "well, this certainly is not your first rodeo, is it?". I love weddings. Melanie and Matt love each other. It's a win, win situation.

Let it gooooooo, let it gooooo......

A huge thanks goes out to Rachel Buckley for 2nd shooting and catching some killer images of the guys getting ready.

That jacket.

BIG NEWS, the story behind Rachel Red, and my heart in your hands

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:40:00 +0000

***Fair warning*** There are quite a few very personal things in this blog post so get ready to grab a box of tissues. If you are not one to like personal posts from a business blog, skip to the bottom paragraph for the big news. First things first, though. This statement may seem odd, but it will all make sense very soon. I am currently booking weddings all across the country and beyond with current focuses in Boston, Charlotte, Wilmington, Raleigh-Durham, and Charleston. I have been overwhelmed in the best way recently by the direction my business is going. I feel so blessed to be in this business and to work with the most amazing clients. I have no plans to slow down, narrow my client base to a specific city, or really limit myself in any way. Life as a business owner and photographer is so, so good!

OK, let’s get real for just a minute and travel back in time three years. I was living in North Carolina (hello Charlotte friends - I miss you!), struggling to pay bills, going through a divorce that I didn’t see coming, and realizing how drastically my life was about to change. Psychiatrists say that a person shouldn’t go through more than one major life change within the same year. It’s too much to handle emotionally. In the course of one year, I managed to go through 9 major life changes. I lost my house and my car in the divorce. I left my job. I got a temporary job to help pay the bills. I quit that temp job. I packed up my neat little life and moved out of state. I left all my friends. I left my amazing church. I signed the paperwork for the divorce. I started a business. Needless to say, it was the most difficult transition of my life. I look back on that time like it was another life altogether (because it was) and know that I would still be a mess if it weren’t for a few key people in my life. My beautiful sister, for being the best roomie ever and a shoulder to cry on. My best friend April for the emotional support through my divorce and for not judging my decisions thereafter. My mom and brother Ricky for being available to talk to over the phone every time I felt lost and hurt over the state of my life.

So, why did I leave my support system? Was I running? I’m sure people think that. It honestly wasn’t that at all. I worked for a wedding photography company when I was married. When I first signed on, I was a newbie to the industry and I made the mistake of signing my life away in the form of a non-compete contract. It basically said I did not own the pictures I took. I couldn’t use them whether I continued to work for the company or not. I also couldn’t take photos for money within 75 miles of my home or within 75 miles of the main office in Wilmington for an entire year after I quit. That radius covers about half of the state of North Carolina and most of the major cities. I couldn’t speak with vendors that I had built a relationship with. I couldn’t tell people how I was treated. It was tough to see my work being published without my name attached to it. The real clincher, though, was finding out that the company I once helped build was now telling inquiring clients that I wasn’t available for their wedding date when they specifically requested me, not that I had moved on because I couldn’t pay my bills. Quite a few of them found me after noticing that I wasn’t posting on the business blog, which is how I found out. I was heart broken over this, but I learned a super valuable lesson. From that point on, I chose to surround myself with people who are for me, not just with me. The word “for” and “with” seem similar, but think about that for just a moment. Someone who is with you can seem like a friend until you can’t do anything for them. People who are “for” you will be there with you in spirit wherever your path leads you (like the Garrett Family - love you guys). My character was attacked when I tried to take a few photos even in the areas outside of the radius. At that point, I knew it would always be a struggle to build a business from Charlotte with integrity. I was determined to do so, so I started making plans to move.

Enter Red. Or rather, re-enter. Did I lose ya there? Let me introduce the sexiest redhead on the planet (AKA my boyfriend), Isaac. I have known this fiery, yet tender-hearted guy since I was a wee little one. Our mothers were actually college roommates! We grew up in adjoining states and would travel to each other’s homes every other year for family vacations together. On my sixteenth birthday, I told my mom I wanted to go to an amusement park with Isaac in Ohio in lieu of a big party. It was my favorite place at the time and he was one of my favorite people. Apparently, he took that as me asking him out on a date in a round-about way. He bought me a single yellow rose and we had the best day together. I had no clue it was supposed to be a date. I just knew he was great company! At this point, he was practically family anyway. Fast forward a few years - I’m in college in Ohio and he’s in the navy in Charleston. We reconnected and he visited me from time to time, secretly hoping I’d get the hint this time that he had a crush. I’m a total dip, so of course I remained clueless. He never worked up the courage to risk our long-time friendship on a date request but we talked over the phone almost every day. He sent me gifts, poems, and made me dinner when he visited. The whole time I thought “wow, he is going to make some woman incredibly happy one day”. He was the last remaining true gentleman in my world. Fast forward a few more years - we both marry separate people. We lose contact. I still talk about him, but only as a fond memory of the last remaining true gentleman. We became friends on Facebook eventually, but that was the extent of our relationship. Oh, how I heart Facebook even with all its annoying quirks for this very reason!

After our divorces began - and yes, we both went through that awful thing around the same time - we reconnected for the second time. We were a source of strength for each other and started out again as friends. The turning point was when he finally gathered the courage to ask me why I never returned his advances in high school and college. We laughed and shook our heads over how silly and dense we both were. Isaac talked me through those nine life-altering decisions I had to make all at once. He encouraged me to pursue photography as a business owner even though I had experienced so much drama with the company I formerly worked for. He helped me realize that life really does go on after divorce and can actually be full of great joy.

So when it was time to decide where exactly I wanted to move, I decided if I couldn’t be near my friends and church family in Charlotte, I wanted to be with him. I still remember driving up to what I call Antarctica (but most people know as New England) on New Years Eve during a huge snow storm. Truthfully, I wasn’t sure I had made the correct decision. I mean, -25°F is enough to make any North Carolina girl question her sanity, right? It was also harder than I thought to be alone in a new city without the support of my local community in Charlotte. That last sentence might be the understatement of the century. I missed pretty much everything about the south including southern weddings, especially in gorgeous places like Charleston. But the stability I felt with Red kept me there with him through the bitter winter months. When it was time to build a business, I realized I couldn’t use my married name. It didn’t make much sense to use my maiden name either. It was almost like an omen to never get married again if I named a business after my single name. haha So instead, I named it after someone who I have always considered family. Red. I knew that no matter what happened with us, he’d still be family and he’d still be there for me. Did you get that “for” in there, rather than “with”? I left my heart in The South, but I found my love in New Hampshire.

Now you know my story. Don’t cry for me, please. I am a much happier and healthier Rachel now! Are you ready for my big news??? I have been sitting on this for way too long and I just can’t keep it to myself any longer! As of March 2015, I will be leaving the Boston area and moving my business to…drumroll please…destination wedding capital of the US of A - Charleston, South Carolina! Hip hip, hooray! Happy dance! Pop fizz clink! I couldn’t be more excited about returning to sunshine, sweet tea, and southern hospitality. And southern weddings! I feel like all of my dreams are coming true, to be honest. Yay to returning to the Bible belt. As I mentioned, Isaac lived there for a few years and fell in love with the area. We have the opportunity right now to chase our dreams together and we are taking it! I’ll be second shooting for some of the best photographers in the country (but based in Charleston) over the next year as I re-establish myself. I will need all the help I can get, so if you are a wedding vendor in the Charleston area, I would love to chat! I’ve already contacted all of my current clients in the Boston/New England area and will still be making multiple trips to the area over the next year or two for engagement sessions and weddings. If you are a Boston bride-to-be and would still like to book me for your wedding, I’d be happy to work something out with you so don’t let this announcement deter you from contacting me. I’d love to put you in touch with previous out of state clients that had a great experience working long distance with Rachel Red Photography.

Sunshine, I will see you soon. Take good care of my heart until I return. I’m bringing my love with me.

Regan + Ricky . Columbus Ohio wedding photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 21 Oct 2014 13:31:00 +0000

My baby brother is MARRIED!!!!! Ahhhh. I couldn't be happier for this already over-the-moon happy couple. The excitement and joy they have for each other radiated through the atmosphere on their wedding day. They did almost nothing in a traditional way which perfectly fit in line with their personalities. They exchanged ring pops during the ceremony, climbed a mountain to have communion, and made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in lieu of the unity candle. Ricky sang his vows to Regan and Regan read her vows to Ricky in the form of a poem. I took the photos of course, along with my awesome helper Red (aka Isaac). I also sang during the ceremony with my mother, sister Joy, aunt Sheila, and Pastor James, the officiant. I also climbed that mountain with my gear and then served as the witness for their wedding documents. Oh, and I was a bridesmaid. hahaha It wasn't just me multitasking, though. My parents threw an awesome rehearsal dinner. Joy helped with the decorations and was a bridesmaid and her boyfriend, Ben, was the DJ and took the pictures while I was singing. Ricky and Regan paid for almost everything themselves and did a great job pulling everything together. It really made me appreciate all of my clients on a whole new level. Each wedding I photograph is not just another work day. I knew that, of course, but it was a gentle reminder. It's an emotional, beautiful milestone in people's lives that is the culmination of months and months of preparation. It also made me appreciate my awesome family. I'm going to shut up now and show the pictures, because I know that's what everyone is here for, but first - Regan, you are beautiful and sweet and I'm so happy Ricky picked you. Welcome to the family. Be good to my brother and I will love you like a sister!

Katy & Rob . Charlevoix Michigan Engagement Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 16:53:00 +0000

I recently flew out to Michigan for Katy and Rob's engagement session. I had the best time with these two lovebirds. Every once in a while, a couple comes along and we just connect. I love working with all my clients, but this couple...I don't know...I kinda feel like we've been friends for decades. They are both so warm and friendly. I adore the way they love each other. I'm already looking forward to flying back for their wedding next year.

Katy and Rob - you are the absolute best! Thanks for flying me down to your home state for pictures and lunch!

Jessica + Chase . The State Room Boston MA Wedding Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:49:00 +0000

I was leafing through the pages of Elle Decor Magazine a few days ago and noticed that the lobby of the hotel where these very handsome gentlemen were getting ready was featured as one of the most stylish places in Boston. It was at that moment that I realized that I am fortunate. I have a pretty incredible job. This realization happens every so often and it might seem a little strange that an interior design magazine was the thing that did it for me, but honestly - who gets to do what I do, go to the places I go, be with these fabulous people on one of the most important days of their lives, and get paid for it?

A photo of the famous lobby is in this post, so be sure to view the entire gallery.

This wedding was yet another of Zev's amazing clients. He's so awesome to let me 2nd shoot for him on occasion. Do check out his work!

I was actually second shooting for Zev Fisher Photography, so I contacted him first to see how he wanted to handle it. Being the super generous and all around awesome guy that he is, he offered to share the feature. It went live today and is in two parts. The first is a scrolling image on their first page. It looks like this:

Is it even possible that people have weddings this beautiful? I think I'm still in shock over this gorgeous day at Wequassett Resort and Golf Club in Cape Cod. I was so impressed with the way the bride and groom handled the rain. Instead of moving everything inside, they checked the weather, stuck with their original outdoor ceremony plan and served light cocktails to the guests as the schedule got bumped an hour while the seats were wiped off.

It was an honor to work with the following vendors on this wedding:

I received a few copies of the summer 2014 issue of Inspire Weddings and Marriage Magazine in the mail the other day and I was BLOWN AWAY when I opened the pages of this beautiful issue. It was filled cover to cover with some of the most lovely weddings, engagements, and heartwarming stories from brides and grooms. I heart this magazine! If you haven't picked up a copy yet, make sure to find it at a local Barnes & Nobles, southern grocery store, or order it online here. I am seriously in love with the concept of this magazine - to inspire beautiful weddings and prepare couples for a successful marriage. YES!

I couldn't believe the length of the features while flipping through the pages. There are over twenty pages in this issue with my photos on them. Thank you so much Stephanie and the rest of the amazing staff at Inspire Weddings and Marriage Magazine. It is an honor to work with you all.

Sigrid and Bart could be two of the sweetest people on the planet. They came all the way out to Bald Head Island, North Carolina, for pictures in freezing rain! It was quite the adventure, spinning around in a golf cart, freezing our fingers and toes off, and catching up since their wedding a few years ago in Florida. Sigrid's generous spirit could melt any heart. It can only be matched by the way Bart treats her - like a queen. She totally deserves it. I am always so happy to see former clients still in love and as happy as ever.

I can't tell you how long I've wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride. Every since I can remember, I've been fascinated by the idea. I've been talking about it actively for at least a decade. "One day, I'm going to do that and it's going to be the best day ever." There have been a few times that I've gotten close to a chance to go, but it hasn't happened...until my birthday. My awesome boyfriend, Red (also known as Isaac), gave me the most amazing birthday present ever. He told me he wanted a photography lesson, photographing covered bridges in New England at sunrise. I was definitely suspicious (I'm not much of a morning person) but went along with it out of curiosity. Red had been planning this for months. Because he's awesome. It really was the best day ever.

I always thought it was going to be scary to be so high up in a little basket, but it was peaceful and I felt very safe the entire time. Not scary at all! It helped that the pilot was a hot air balloon instructor. He knew what he was doing. He even took us into a forest and lowered the balloon until we could reach out and touch the tops of the trees around us. Coolest thing ever.

An hour later, it was time to land. I'm pretty sure our instructor was showing off a bit when he landed us in the front yard of a lawyer's office. The lawyer waved out of his front window and just kept working as the hot air balloon staff deflated that massive balloon in the parking lot. I will never ever forget this day. Thank you, Isaac!

Emily + Mike . New Marlborough Massachusetts Wedding Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:44:00 +0000

I feel very fortunate to photograph the weddings that I do. The couples I work with are the best people around. Emily and Mike are no different. They, according to their best man and maid of honor, are the gold standard for relationships. They love each other so fully and surround themselves with people who encourage and keep them strong. It was so apparent during their couples photos that they are truly head-over-heels. Ahhh, love!

Can you say celebrity sighting?! If you don't know who this is, think way back to happier days. :)

Once again, I owe it big time to Zev for allowing me to 2nd shoot this incredible wedding. His work is pretty rad - go check it out.
