Weddings come in all shapes and sizes.

You don’t have to get married on a Saturday. Some of the best weddings I’ve shot have happened on a Friday or on a Wednesday night at a brewery. Don’t feel boxed in to do what other people have done. This is the time to do what makes you two happy. So if you invite your 20 closest friends and family or have 250 guests, it’s about the experience that matters most.

 

Your love should be celebrated.

If you are looking to have a good time while getting your dream photos, then you are in the right spot.

My approach to photography is a guided experience that represents who you and your partner are. I call it a plandid approach. With some directions and prompts, I guide my clients to get the shots they want. I take the responsibility off of them to come up with what to do. The other part of my approach is documentary- I photograph moments how they are without any prompt or notice. I stand back and just capture the moment while it is happening. It’s a little bit of both that make up a wedding day.

You’re in for some R & R

…the Rachel Ruth Experience

Relax: You are in good hands. With over 8 years of wedding experience, I have been through it all. I am here for you now, the wedding, and all the things after the big day. I am here to be by your side while capturing authentic moments that will be cherished for generations to come.

Recreation: My goal for you is to enjoy your day. That seems almost obvious, but there can be a lot of pressure to have a perfect wedding day. As your wedding photographer, I will do anything and everything to make sure you are comfortable, confident, and true to who you two are.

 
 

Hey, I’m Rachel!

I’m a true to color photographer that values a good time while capturing your dream day. I’m based in Fort Wayne, but my Ford Escape shows that I put some miles on each year traveling to the best parties. 

I’m Coke Zero’s biggest fan. I have almost 100 house plants in my 1,100 sq ft apartment and find any excuse to talk about my time spent working at a summer camp. My friends know me to have the best stories and I can’t wait to document this story for you.

 

I love watching your love grow

This season is sweet, but what’s to come is even sweeter.

Along with weddings & elopements, I also photograph families, maternity, newborn, and portrait sessions.

I’m just a carry on bag away.

Whether you’re traveling somewhere new or someplace cool, I will meet you anywhere your celebration happens. I have photographed weddings all over Indiana + FL, NC, MI, OH, Jamaica, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

 “She was a fantastic listener and always put our wants first while at the same time offering helpful suggestions when we weren’t sure what to do…. Every step of the way, Rachel was incredibly easy to talk to, would crack jokes, reassure us that things were fine, and calmed us down through the stress that comes on your wedding day.”
