    Love Bomb

    I've had the honor of working with Rachel on two weddings, once as the coordinator and the other as the officiant. As a queer vendor, it is super important to me (and my clients) to support vendors in the community. Not only is Rachel one of the most talented photographers I've ever met, she is also an absolute joy to work with. 10/10. No notes. Hire her.

    A Perfect Day!

    Papillon Visuals was the perfect choice for our engagement photoshoot. From the moment we first spoke with Rachel, her communication was efficient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, which immediately put us at ease. On the day of our engagement, Rachel and Sam’s warm and friendly presence made us feel comfortable doing our first photoshoot together. We loved their creative ideas and compositions, and they were mindful of the time, capturing so many beautiful, dreamy moments. The quality of their work is simply perfect, and we're so looking forward to working with them again for our upcoming wedding. We couldn't be happier with Papillon Visuals and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

    Rachel and her team made us feel so comfortable and special - I would recommend Papillon to anyone! By booking the engagement shoot, we were able to get used to being professionally photographed and get to know our photographer Courtney better. Leading up to wedding day, Rachel was so communicative and organized with the timeline that day-of was a breeze! When we got the photos back, my wife and I couldn't be happier with the results.

We can't wait to meet you! Contact us through Zola and we'll get you the info you need. From there, we will get the process started! In order to book us for your date, we'll need to know how long you need us for and any other add-ons you would like to get. If you would like, we can discuss details on the phone. Then we'll send over a personalized contract for you to sign.
You'll receive your beautiful memories within 12 weeks of your wedding date. However, we also offer a "sneak peek gallery" where you will get 10-20 preview photos within a week after your special day! We know just how badly you want to post your wedding photos on Instagram, and who are we to make you wait!
Rest assured we edit your main gallery of photos! We want every image you receive to be the best it possibly can be. We spend hours pouring over your images and truly edit them with you in mind. If you want all of your unedited pictures, you are welcome to purchase the RAWs from us. If you are interested in this, let us know!
You will receive them straight to your inbox in a beautiful photo gallery site. There you can download, order, prints, + share the gallery with loved ones.
One of our favorite parts of the photo process is helping you order your prints and album through your online gallery. We have some incredible options available for you and it is very easy to use. The products you can order are done professionally by very talented companies who specialize in doing their job well. We ask that all clients order their products with us and it is in our photo contract.
We travel all over! The furthest we've been so far is Norway! Contact us to learn more about our travel rates, and know that we currently mostly work without travel fees in LA, NYC, and Atlanta. We'll do a custom quote for you based on your budget if possible.
8 hours is the average time we are booked for and it always works out well! With this time frame, it normally allows us to really capture every moment without anyone feeling rushed. BUT every wedding is different and we are always open to chat with you to help figure out what's best for your specific day.
Other than a list for family photos, we won't need a very detailed shot list. We like to document the day as it happens naturally, and we make it our job to capture every important detail that we see. We do really love it when you make a Pinterest board of ideas for us though! Additionally, if there is a shot you just know you can't live without, let us know during our timeline meeting.
The first third of your total package is due at the time of booking. This secures your wedding date with us and is non-refundable. The final two thirds are due four weeks before your wedding. We take multiple different payment methods for weddings and we'll let you know what they are! If you have to reschedule your wedding date because of COVID, we have new policies in place to help you feel secure!
Nothing makes us happier than to see our work being shared by YOU! Our day has been made countless times just by going on Instagram only to find that we have been tagged in a post by our client with their pictures along with a few kind words! Just be sure to never edit them (crop or filter, etc.) in any way and always give us photo credit! (*per our photography contract)
This is normally an option! Let your lead wedding or session photographer know as soon as you know and they will discuss this with their assistant photographer to make sure that it works for all involved (and that we don't have a prior planned engagement to get to).
Yes, we do and we love creating beautiful, luxury films for our clients. You can view our work on Vimeo!
We do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In our combined years of experience as wedding pros, we have never cancelled a booking! In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, we will make sure you’re covered by one of other lead photographers. As a last resort, we can also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups we're in so you and we can work together to help you find the perfect replacement!
