Philadelphia + Destination Wedding Photographer
For couples who want photos worth looking back on and a wedding day worth remembering.
The moments are the point.
The photos are simply the evidence of whatever experience they created.
They’re actually creating experiences.
Most photographers think they’re creating photos.
Your photos should be built around your wedding not the other way around.
- Feeling like you’re constantly wondering if you’re doing it right.
- Missing the conversations that only happen once because the timeline kept pulling you away.
- Thinking more about how you look than how the moment feels.
- Looking back at beautiful photographs that remind you how often you were asked to step away.
I believe beautiful photos should come from a beautiful experience, not the other way around. I’ll take the lead when it helps, step back when it matters, and quietly protect both your memories and the moments that create them.
Present first. Beautifully photographed.
Wedding collections begin at $5,500

“We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Rachel kept us comfortable, present, and truly able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day while capturing it all so beautifully. Every special moment and little detail was documented perfectly, and the photos feel so genuine and full of emotion. Receiving our sneak peeks and a mini album in less than 24 hours was the icing on the cake—we are absolutely obsessed! We couldn't recommend her more. Thank you, Rachel, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!”

“Rachel Snyder Photography was absolutely amazing to work with! She made our wedding seem like her biggest priority throughout the planning process. She was very thorough and made sure to communicate with all of our vendors for scheduling purposes. She was super flexible and was able to give us one of the greatest experiences. I truly recommend her for anyone's wedding and will definitely being using her for my future photography needs”
Ana + Michael - Hazelwood Weddings
“We absolutely love Rachel! Our first photos with her were for our pregnancy announcement. Since then, she has captured so many of the most special moments in our lives. From family photos and maternity pictures to our wedding day yesterday. It’s so special to look back and see how Rachel has been there to capture all of these different chapters of our lives. She is incredibly talented, kind, patient, and makes every session feel so natural and comfortable. She has a way of capturing the genuine moments and emotions that make the photos feel so much more than just pictures. We couldn’t recommend Rachel enough! She has truly become our forever photographer, and we feel so lucky to have had her capture so many important moments for our family”

Kind Words
I'm here to help you
Yes, literally anywhere! I was just in South Africa, Paris, Mexico and the Tetons. Put me on a plane, give me a camera, and I’m happy.
Then we’re on the same page! Your timeline should have room for living it, not just photographing it.
100%. I’ll give you the portraits you came for without turning the rest of your wedding into a photoshoot.
Good. Neither do I. Beautiful photographs shouldn’t require you to miss your own wedding.
Absolutely because same. My goal isn’t to make you good at being photographed. It’s to make you forget you’re being photographed. And when you do need direction, I’ll step in, guide you into something beautiful, and get you right back to living.
