Whimsical Fall Wedding at Stroudsmoor Country Inn-Woodsgate | Tyler + Zach
If you’ve ever dreamed of a woodland wedding that feels straight out of a Taylor Swift album (literally the vibes and right on point after Taylors new album “Showgirl” was released, yes!), Tyler and Zach’s day at Stroudsmoor Country Inn’s Woodsgate was exactly that kind of magic.
The moment guests arrived at the stairs leading them up to the woodland chapel under sparkling string lights, they were greeted with fresh apple cider donuts and hot cider, setting the tone for a cozy, romantic October wedding. It was chillier than everyone was expecting, but that unmistakable fall chill really tied together the entire fall wedding aesthetic.
As the ceremony began, the sun broke through the trees at just the perfect moment, casting a cinematic glow that felt almost too perfect to be real, this venue is just stunning in the fall. Their ceremony was one that you can feel through the photos—the laughter, the emotion, the tears, the quiet gratitude for a day that felt entirely like them.
Tyler’s whimsical fall vision blended the charm of the Pocono Mountains with hints of subtle (and not-so-subtle) Taylor Swift inspiration—lyric-filled details, romantic hues, and the kind of energy that literally makes you want to dance barefoot in the leaves. Every piece of the day told a story—from their autumn color palette to the music choices (obviously Taylor), it was personal, emotional, and beautifully intentional.

Let's Connect
Being a Wedding Photographer wasn't always the plan...
I was (and still am) a special education teacher—someone who spends her weekdays in classrooms, not studios. But somewhere along the way, I picked up a camera and fell hard for the way it let me see people. The way it let me slow down and pay attention to the things that matter: connection, movement, emotion, joy that doesn't need to be posed.
Now, I photograph weddings and couples with that same lens—chasing honest moments, big energy, and the kind of photos that feel like memories.
I didn’t build this business to be booked and busy every waking moment. I built it so I could do what I love and still be home for dinner, still be present with my family, still have space for the life I live outside of work. The balance this world brings me means I show up with INTENTION. With ENERGY. With fresh eyes and an open heart—every freaking time for you.
If you're looking for a photographer who’s not just clocking in but actually cares—you’re in the right place.
I'm Rachel.
"Truly a dream..
Rachel was absolutely amazing. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable. My husband is not a camera guy, but she was able to make it so much fun that he enjoyed the pictures."
