I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Serves Mount Aukum, CA

My approach in photography is relaxed and lightly guided, leaving room for movement, connection, and images that feel nostalgic and timeless. I’m especially drawn to in-home family sessions — unhurried, familiar, and captured in the spaces where life is already growing. It would be my honor to document your sweet moments with family and loved ones!

“From our first conversation, Annette made it clear she was ready to plan and get to work—we loved her direct approach and how much of a team player she was. She showed up early on our day and found hidden spots around the property we didn't even know existed, turning them into the perfect backdrops for our photos. Annette had an eye for detail when it came to group shots, making sure everyone looked their best and felt comfortable. She captured genuine moments between us that we didn't even realize were happening, and her leadership in group moments allowed my husband and I to be at ease. She delivered exactly what we needed, even the things we didn't know we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with her work and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares and loves what her job.”

Timeless wedding photography and videography for couples across Northern California. Based near Placerville in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Rachel Reynolds Co. Photo + Video documents weddings with a focus on genuine emotion and real moments. Rachel Reynolds leads photography while her husband Mark leads videography, creating a seamless experience for couples who want both photo and video captured with care and consistency. Having photographed more than 250 weddings, Rachel brings a calm presence and is experienced with the flow of a wedding day, helping couples feel comfortable and fully present.

“Working with Rachel Reynolds Co. on our wedding this past weekend was an absolute joy and delight. Rachel partnered closely with us to ensure every moment was captured. From the first click to the last, her coverage was incredibly thorough, leaving no detail overlooked. I was lucky enough to join her call with our bride ahead of the wedding and heard how she expertly guided her through shot list development, support in family photo discussions, and made sure she got every portrait on her Pinterest board sorted. What really set Rachel apart is how comfortable our couple was in her capable hands. My bride and groom are the type of people who usually feel pretty awkward in front of a lens, but Rachel has this magic ability to make the camera disappear. She turned what could have been a stressful part of the day into something they were actually excited about. They went from camera-shy to completely comfortable, and that genuine joy radiated in the final shots. The photos are, quite simply, outstanding. If you want a photographer who brings both high-level professionalism and a vibe that puts everyone at ease, Rachel is the one.”

My husband can get uncomfortable in front of a camera and pictures can be hard to capture. Hannah and Will made us feel so comfortable and captured some of my favorite pictures of my husband. Throughout the entire process they had amazing communication, they were super organized and didn’t let the weather affect their work either!

To me, photography is a medium that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is an art that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and development; and encourages light and vulnerability. It finds the light even where darkness may dwell. It shows order to chaos. And it celebrates courage, confidence and natural beauty. All that to say the heart behind my images are found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.

For one, she has an amazing personality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like when my friend spilled white wine on my dress and Marissa came to the rescue with napkins;)) Thank you so much Marissa!”
