About Rachel McNurlen Photography

Rachel McNurlen Photography

Photographer

Hi, I’m Rachel! a professional wedding photographer based in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Born and raised here, I grew up surrounded by the wild beauty of the mountains, and open skies. Nature and animals were my first inspirations, and they continue to shape the way I see the world through my lens today. I’m an alumna of the nation's top art school, The Savannah College of Art and Design, where I earned my degree in Commercial Photography.

With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in wedding photography with an artistic, emotional, and nature inspired approach. Whether it’s a romantic mountain elopement or a rustic ranch wedding, my goal is to create timeless, storytelling images that reflect real connection. Based in Boulder, I photograph weddings across Colorado including Denver, Lyons, Estes Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. My style is candid, warm, and airy, perfect for couples who want authentic moments captured in stunning outdoor settings.

    Truly No One Does It Like Rachel!

    There are a lot of wedding photographers out there, but truly, no one does it like Rachel!! Not only is her energy on the wedding day absolutely incredible, but the photos she captures?! HOLY MOLY!!! I have received SO many compliments on our wedding photos and so many people asking who our photographer was! I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. What makes Rachel so special is that it’s so much more than just her beautiful work. It’s the energy, the happiness, and the overall experience she brings to your wedding day. She makes everything feel so fun, comfortable, and effortless, and that is something you just can’t put a price on. She’s truly the best, both as a photographer and as a person. I couldn’t recommend her more! 1000/10!!!

    The best experience!!

    Truly could not say better things about our experience with Rachel. I mean her photos speak for themselves… GORGEOUS. But not only is she a truly talented and hardworking photographer, she is such a good human. Supportive and responsive through the whole process, happy and excited during our day and always thinking of how to make the shot incredible. My family is comprised of photographers so this choice was so important to us and she didn’t just meet expectations- she exceeded them by a mile. You’d be so lucky to have her on your day.

    Rachel is the BEST!

    We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From our very first conversation, she completely understood the vision and vibe we were going for. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured every emotion naturally, and somehow managed to document all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The entire experience was effortless. She was kind, fun to be around, incredibly professional, and made everyone feel at ease throughout the day. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo tells the story of our wedding perfectly, from the intimate details to the big moments. Looking through them takes us right back to that day. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your wedding feel authentic to you, we can’t recommend her enough. These are photos we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

    She is AMAZING

    Rachel was so so amazing. The photos she captured were great and she got them back to us so quickly. She is easy to work with and very talented at her job. I would go with her time and time again, she is more than worth it!!

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 3-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a small sneak-peek folder with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra unless you request a second shooter.
