Creativity and Skill: The photos speak for themselves! Marie has a fantastic eye for detail and composition. The lighting, framing, and editing were all spot-on, capturing moments in a way that felt both artistic and authentic.

  • Serves Mackinaw, IL

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

Rachael Marie Photography was an incredible choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Rachael was quick to respond to all of our questions and communicated clearly with us throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she was fun, caring, and gave great direction to help us look our best in the photos. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous - moody, high-quality, and reliable. We especially loved getting a quick preview of some of the photos just a few days after the wedding. Rachael truly captured the magic of our special day, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend Rachael Marie Photography!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

I have worked with Melissa in various capacities and could not recommend her enough! We first connected when I was looking to get new branding photos for my business and she did a beautiful job capturing everything I needed and wanted, and making the shoot fun. Shortly after, she also photographed a Mastermind event I hosted for me and my attendees to get details, decoration, as well as headshots and fun group shots. As a photographer myself, I have also hired Melissa to shoot me with for multiple weddings and associate shoot for a few photoshoots as well. Melissa is always friendly, professional, and prepared, and simply a joy to work with. She does incredible work and I always enjoy working with her. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Not only did they travel all the way to Mexico for us, but when it poured down rain on our wedding day, they took extra time from their vacation to take even more photos of us a few days after our wedding.

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

Please consider Sara as your photographer for your wedding day. Sara is professional but can also make you feel so comfortable and at ease that you forget she's your photographer. This makes those candid shots so perfect. She spent the day with us & made sure nothing was missed in our photos. When I look at them now, I feel like I am reliving the whole day. I so appreciate the tiny little details she manages to get. Thank you so much, Sara!

The goal is simple, that you fully live and enjoy your day. My approach is built on kindness, fun, and caffeine. My style is documentary first, complimented with editorial portraits. Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting yet unforgettable moments. All you need to do is be fully present and celebrate with all of your people in one place. I want all the authentic, unfiltered excitement. I want you to be free to dance in the rain, to jump in the pool, and to embrace the imperfect. Most importantly, I want for you the immeasurable joy of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re looking for a photographer for your big day, look no further because Derrick is the absolute best! He captured every moment and emotion of our wedding at the Farmhouse in Plainfield so beautifully. Looking at these photos I’m instantly taken back to that moment and how I felt.

Whichever unique experience you choose, Alchemist Studio and Curios offers your guests a tangible memory of your wedding day that they will adore. They are based in New Orleans, but love to travel and will happily come to your venue.

Alchemist Studio and Curios was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication style was relaxed, efficient, and attentive - they made the entire process seamless. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly unique, timeless, and memorable. They enabled us to give our guests a gift that not only celebrated our day, but also created a lasting personal keepsake. They also made a special effort to capture a rare and special moment between my wife and I with our brothers, which we will cherish forever. We could not recommend Alchemist Studio and Curios highly enough.
