About Rachel Dodson Photography

Rachel Dodson Photography

Virginia Wedding Photographers

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 and timeless—with crisp whites and natural tones 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. Think of us as your wedding day besties (with cameras)!

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.

    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.

  • Highly recommended Wedding Photographer!!!

    Rachel is a great photographer to work with!! I am a planner, and we worked together before. Photo timeline, family group photos, all the photo plans went well. Also, her style is nice and very unique. I have been recommending Rachel for couples who are looking for a professional wedding photographer! You will love Rachel!!
