Rachel McNurlen Photography

comfortable in front of the camera, captured every emotion naturally, and somehow managed to document all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The entire experience was effortless. She was kind, fun to be around, incredibly professional, and made everyone feel at ease throughout the day. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo tells the story of our wedding perfectly, from the intimate details to the big moments. Looking through them takes us right back to that day. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your wedding feel authentic to you, we can’t recommend her enough. These are photos we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

ree, intimate elopement-style day focused on genuine moments instead of overly posed photos. Since this was a second marriage for both of us, it was really important that everything felt natural, relaxed, and authentic, and she captured that perfectly. She went far beyond just taking photos. She gave thoughtful suggestions on ceremony locations in Colorado, helped us think through ways to keep the day meaningful without overspending, and truly cared about making our experience special. One of my favorite ideas she suggested was creating my bouquet from grocery store flowers to save money — and honestly, it turned out absolutely gorgeous and even more meaningful because of how personal and simple it was. Throughout the entire process, she was flexible, supportive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile for us. The photos are beautiful because they feel real — candid, emotional, joyful, and completely “us.” We could not have asked for a better photographer or experience, and I would recommend her to anyone wanting a laid-back, authentic wedding day captured perfectly.
