Rachael Elana Photography

Welcome to Rachael Elana Photography! I’m a Denver and NYC—based portrait and destination wedding photographer specializing in creating authentic, intimate images documenting life’s special moments. As the granddaughter of a ballet dancer and watercolor painter, I spent my childhood painting and dancing—these influences bring a unique artist's eye to my images.

Artists aren’t particularly known for their organizational skills, but with ten years of experience in event planning, I break that mold. This means I come prepared with timelines, shot lists, and will happily collaborate with as many family members or vendors to ensure worry-free, well-timed, and enjoyable photo coverage of your elopement, surprise party, wedding, b’nai mitzvah, or baptism. I seek to capture the beauty and joy in everyone I have the pleasure of photographing while making my sessions fun, relaxed, and calm. Many of my clients have become close friends.
