About Rachel Dodson Photography
Rachel Dodson Photography
Hi! I’m Rachel, and my husband Daniel and I are a husband-and-wife photography team based in the Shenandoah Valley. We blend traditional, candid, and documentary styles to capture your day as it truly happens. Our editing is clean, rich, and true-to-life, with crisp whites and natural colors that never go out of style. We’ve been through the wedding whirlwind ourselves, so we’re here to make the photography part feel easy, fun, and stress-free.
Our investment in your wedding goes far beyond photos, it’s personal. We’re here to build a real relationship, cheer you on during planning, and support you however we can on your big day. Whether it’s grabbing coffee to talk through your vision, pinning on boutonnieres, fixing a dress with our emergency sewing kit, or making sure you have a drink in hand after the ceremony, we’re all in. We show up not just as photographers, but as a calm, helpful presence dedicated to making your day unforgettable.

Best Wedding Photographer Ever.
Rachel Dodson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Rachel and Daniel were clear, prompt, and organized in their communication, making the entire process seamless. Their professionalism and attention to detail were unparalleled. The quality of their work was truly pristine - the photos were edited perfectly and captured every special moment with such thoughtfulness. Rachel and Daniel were incredibly helpful during the family portrait session, giving us clear instructions and making us all feel beautiful. They are clearly hardworking individuals who care deeply about their clients. Their organization and thoughtfulness were invaluable in getting us through our wedding day with ease. The final photos were stunning, from the perfect detail shots to the gorgeous portraits and reception/ceremony coverage. We were even treated to some breathtaking sunset photos that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Rachel Dodson Photography highly enough!
Wedding Photography
I had Rachel and her husband as my photographers for my wedding day and they were absolutely lovely! They were so organized, friendly, understanding, and so fun to work with! I had exactly what I had in mind for my wedding photos and they nailed my dream wedding photos. Rachel took the time to work with me with what exactly I was looking for and the vibe that I wanted and that showed me how much she really cared and loved her job as well! I truly cannot say enough good things about this amazing power couple and the talent they have. I am so beyond thankful I chose them to capture me and Brandon's wedding!
Wonderful Experience and Photos!
We absolutely loved working with Rachel for our wedding, and would recommend her to any and everyone! From the beginning, she was an excellent communicator and made sure that we knew what her packages included and what to expect. After we decided to book with her, she was incredibly flexible and worked closely with our coordinator to ensure our timeline was good to go. On the day of our wedding, her and her husband arrived early and took every photo we could've wanted, and more. Many of our guests commented that they hadn't even noticed her presence or her taking photos, which speaks highly of her professionalism. On top of our experience on the day of our wedding, we absolutely love our photos--they couldn't have turned out better. She was quick in getting them to us, and it was so fun to have a sneak-peak to look at on our honeymoon. We love that our package included physical prints and a photo album. If you want to take worrying about a photographer off your to-do-list, book with Rachel!
She’s awesome!
Rachel has done photos for me on multiple occasions- most recently my engagement photoshoot, and I am always blown away at how beautiful the pictures turn out!! She does a wonderful job at capturing the moment and the atmosphere in her photos and her editing brings out the best in the pictures. Rachel is so friendly and easy to work with.
