About Rachel Levine Photography

Rachel Levine

Owner/Lead photographer

I'm best known for my elegant and playful small weddings photographed at the iconic San Francisco City Hall throughout the last decade. After serving many hundreds of couples there, I've taken my super powers as a creative storyteller and solver of all wedding planning problems out into the wonderlands of Northern California. Inspired by places that are stunningly beautiful yet still affordable I love finding creative twists to keep her couples excited about their weddings no matter what their budget.

With deep experience in both wedding photography, and all inclusive wedding planning, my goal is to support our couples on this part of their love story. I feel that everybody has a purpose in life, and this is mine. I specializes in couples coming into the area that look to me to create romantic itineraries that showcase the best the Bay Area has to offer, from Muir Woods and San Francisco down to Monterey and Carmel.

So Happy We Booked This Team for City Hall

I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. Here is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.

Thank you, thank you! It was our pleasure to support your wedding dream and smooth out the little wrinkles of your big day. I loved hearing about Denny from Officiant Shawn! We're looking forward to delivering your gorgeous Halloween themed wedding pictures from SF City Hall very soon.

We had a wonderful experience working with Rachel and her team. We traveled from out of state to renew our vows and Rachel not only provided recommendations for nearby places to visit, she provided everything we needed including the photography, flowers, my wife’s makeup and hair services. The communication with her team was amazing as well. We felt completely prepared and at ease the entire time.

Hi Jeffrey, Our entire team loved working with both of you, and it was a pleasure to create your dream wedding day. We're so glad our recommendations were perfect for you both and that you loved visiting Muir Woods the day after your event. Please don't hesitate to reach out when you're ready for family pictures or a vow renewal. I think your wife already has her heart set on it:) Warmly, Rachel
Just Wow!

From the moment we first spoke with Rachel Levine Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel and her team have a direct, warm, and confident communication style that instantly put us at ease. Their top-tier customer service, deep knowledge, and extreme professionalism made them true experts in their craft. On our wedding day, they kept the photo shoot fun and light, making us feel completely relaxed. Rachel came highly recommended by my cousin, who has worked with her previously, and we are so grateful to have had her and her team capture all the special moments of our day. Thank you, Rachel Levine Photography, for being the best first family historian and preserving our memories forever!

**Others beware. Please avoid. Keep your wedding day beautiful and protect your peace of mind by hiring a different photographer/photography company.** **Ultimately, I would never recommend Rachel Levine Photography to anyone and I hope this review will make others reconsider hiring this team as well.** Communication, quality of photos, and the responses from the team when asked questions was all extremely concerning and low quality. I also want to point out that Rachel responds to negative reviews in a passive aggressive manner, which can be seen below, and is a red flag in and of itself. I fully anticipate that she will respond to mine as well and try to undermine my claims and justify the poor behavior and quality of her company. My experience with Rachel Levine photography was extremely disappointing. I could write an essay about all of the concerning interactions that arose from hiring Rachel Levine photography, but I am keep this review short because it is mentally and physically exhausting to even think about how things went.

Hi Allie, I wish we had known that your husband's eyeglasses were transition lenses. In our years there, we had not encountered everyday glasses transitioning inside San Francisco City Hall. We tried valiantly to make his eyes appear in these glasses using every Photoshop trick we could research. We apologize that the editing took longer than you expected; this was an exceptional case. While most of your edits were fine, we apologize for the dozen that were not to your satisfaction.
