I'm Rachel
HEY FRIENDS
My name is Rachel Sailer. I am a photographer based in Denver, Colorado, and Arizona. My style is warm, natural, and outdoorsy. What is most important to me is capturing your story. I want to make this a memorable experience. I want you to feel your most authentic self in front of the camera. I'm a vibrant, travel-obsessed, sparkling water enthusiast. Forest green is one of my favorite colors. A bouquet of Gerbera daisies from Trader Joe's makes me happy. You’ll find me hitting the slopes during winter for skiing adventures. I’m also a little obsessed with reality dating. I can’t resist! Sundays are my go-to for a trip to the farmers' market, followed by a cozy family dinner. I love Evergreen, Colorado. It creates a harmonious combination of nature and tranquility.

Why I Do
What I Do
Photography is more than capturing beautiful images. It's about preserving moments that tell your story. Photos can take us back to our most treasured feelings and connections. They are our most cherished items, as they keep our memories alive. They remind us of where we’ve been, who we were, and how far we’ve come. I want to create a relaxed, intentional experience. It can be a mountaintop elopement or a quiet sunset. You should embrace your day completely. These are your memories; I’m here to ensure they last forever.
Let’s toast to new beginnings
I’m not just there for the moment; I’m with you throughout the entire experience
of Course You desire an incredible day
For your elopement photographer, you want someone whose work brings joy. You want to feel an emotional rush when you hang wedding photos on your walls. You want to relive every moment of your special day.
My grandparents gifted me my first camera in eighth grade, sparking a passion that runs deep in my family. My grandfather was a newspaper writer. He had a deep love for photography. I started taking photos during our travels, holiday events, and of my friends. In college, I began my career as a photographer and social media manager for a local boutique. I then took the leap to pursue photography full-time. I launched my own business, exploring portrait sessions and various styles of photography. Since then, I’ve fallen head over heels for shooting couples. I truly love capturing their love stories. I often pinch myself. I feel so grateful to be with couples, racing around the world for those perfect moments.

My Story
Details on Achieving Best Friend Status
I grew up breathing in the crisp mountain air and soaking up the sunshine—Colorado is where my story began!
Some phrases I often use are: "genuinely, long story short, immediately, and let's get it on the calendar."
I am Andy Anderson from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I am ambitious, witty, empathetic, strong-willed, down-to-earth, adventurous, a little romantic, and resourceful.
I’m happiest after a pilates class when I get a random call from a friend.
"Rachel is such an incredible photographer, but more importantly such a great human to work with. She was so helpful from start to finish & helping us to get prepared for the shoot. She really took the time to get to know myself & my fiance, and it was reflected in how well she captured our love for each other through these photos. You can truly tell how much she cares about her clients and accurately capturing love stories. On the day of the shoot, she was so helpful with directing us on how to pose and had so many ideas for creative shots we never would have thought of to recreate! She did all of the prep work for the shoot from getting the needed permits to scoping out the perfect spots for us. I would definitely recommend working with her & can’t wait to hopefully work with her again in the future. <3"

Inclusivity and Diversity
"I can't say enough good things about Rachel and the incredible experience she gave us for our engagement photos. From the very beginning, Rachel went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. She worked with my fiancé to plan a surprise engagement helping him pick the perfect spot. She even braved the cold to capture those perfect shots while staying out of sight, ensuring the surprise remained a complete secret. Throughout the entire process, Rachel made us feel so at ease. Her calm presence and professionalism helped me forget about the camera and just be present in the moment. Her attention to detail was incredible — every glance, smile, and embrace was perfectly captured. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your experience and will capture your love story beautifully, Rachel is the photographer you need."
