leT'S CAPTURE MORE THAN

 just pretty photos.

Hi, I'm Rachel




Mommy, mama, Miss. Snyder, ..are just a few of the many titles I hold besides being a Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer.

I can't wait to get to know more about YOU in this process and hope you're excited to learn a little about me! 

I am a Lancaster Wedding Photographer, full time mom to my favorite little boy and Special Education Inclusion Consultant. 

Wedding and Lifestyle photography are my number one passions and what I could literally spend all of my time doing.   Being a self taught photographer and seeing your dream come to life is extremely exciting and I couldn't have done it without all of you- so thank you!

You have already put in countless hours leading up to your big day.  The fine details, the guest list, the decor, dresses and florals.  Everything has been specifically tailored to bring wedding vision to life. 

All of that time and effort deserves to be celebrated - by YOU! 

From the moment we begin our experience until the moment you view your gallery, you are my number one priority.  My clients are more than just a booking... you are so special and so important and I can't wait to help you preserve one of the happiest moments of your life. 

Your day deserves to be

effortless

As a Pennsylvania luxury wedding photographer my clients are always my no. 1 priority.

Making you feel loved, celebrated, and beautiful is what I do best.  There is no "mold" or "trend" you need to fit into when we work together. The idea is that your session or wedding day should FEEL LIKE YOU.  You literally cannot do this wrong.

When you step in front of my lens- you don't have to pretend to be anyone else- just be your most authentic YOU. I will prompt and lightly direct you to help you feel comfortable and look your best.  All YOU really need to do is just let go and be yourself.  I got you.

My candid & Prompted approach to storytelling.

"If we could give Rachel 10000 stars, we would! Cannot recommend Rachel enough for your next life event. She truly made us feel like family, and made the experience of being photographed an absolute dream. Not only did she capture the little moments that mattered so much to us, she adapted so easily on the fly and wrangled our big wedding party like it was second nature. Rachel and her colleague, Tierra, are super stars and we would not have felt comfortable with ANYONE ELSE on our wedding day. Between our engagement and wedding day photoshoots, we have albums upon albums that we'll be able to one day share with our kids, and we cherish that. Thank you, Rachel, for all you do - you are a memory maker and we will be forever grateful!"
-Pamela and Michael Coviello

Client love

"We have been working with Rachel for a couple years! From family, maternity and newborn sessions. They aren't just photo sessions with Rachel, she is able to catch moments in time that my family and I will treasure forever. Our home is filled with Rachel's work which is truly more like art! We will continue to let her capture our family for years to come! You can tell she loves what she does by the way she works with my girls and captures our little family in a way that truly shows the real us!"
- The Moose Family 



"These are my all time favorite photos. Your professionalism, kindness and flexibility never goes unnoticed. You always make us feel so comfortable and I can't wait for you to capture our big day!!"
- Meagan and Jackson Hess

let's do this

I want your experience to be nothing short of magical. Photographs should be timeless and the memories you create while making them are ones that you can look back on forever. I promise working with me won't be awkward or uncomfortable (even if you hate being in front of the camera!) My sessions are full of movement and laughter and genuine connection.

The moments that I capture are REAL & RAW & ones you wont ever want to forget.


Also I may shed some tears behind the lens.  But I don't apologize, that's how you know its real.
