Our Story

Weddings are more than a day of celebration to us. They are a beautifully orchestrated public statement of a sacred commitment between two people who found one another in this crazy world. We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and treasure the opportunity to celebrate others who've done the same. 

After two years of living an hour-and-a-half apart and seeing each other only on weekends, we got married in June 2023 and have loved settling down in the Shenandoah Valley where Daniel grew up, while still making frequent trips to Warrenton where Rachel's from. Our favorite thing about being wedding photographers is building relationships with clients who become our friends. We pray for them, check-in on them, and share the highlights of their wedding days with our own families! And we're not ashamed to admit that we still talk about and check in on our couples long after their wedding photos are delivered. 

We believe weddings are not meant to be a huge continuous photoshoot. It is important to us that your day is focused on actually experiencing one of the most significant events of your life. We'll dedicate plenty of time to the necessary photos, but beyond that we'd like to give you the space you need to live in the moment, and we'll make sure those moments are documented naturally and unobtrusively. Our ultimate goal is to bless you with timeless images that allow you to relive the most special moments.
​
With love,

"Rachel and Daniel were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our first meeting to the final photos, they made everything feel so effortless and special. They captured every detail and every emotion beautifully—moments we would have missed if it weren’t for them. The engagement session was so much fun, and the wedding photos completely took our breath away. Rachel’s earthy and natural style, along with her eye for candid moments, brought our day to life in a way that feels authentic and timeless. We can't wait to display these photos and cherish them forever. Highly recommend Rachel Dodson Photography for anyone looking to capture their love story in the most genuine way!
