About Rachel Dowd Photography

Rachel Dowd Photography

Owner / Photographer

Hey hey! I’m Rachel — your go-to photographer, chaos coordinator, dress fluffer, and emotional support human. I’m based in AZ + CO and specialize in elopements & weddings telling wild love stories that break the mold. Whether you're hiking into Garden of the Gods or saying “I do” barefoot under the stars, I’m here to capture the real stuff — the messy, magical, beautifully you moments. No stiff poses. No pressure. Just honest photos that feel like your love. Let’s do the damn thing.

I’m not just another vendor on your checklist — I’m the photographer who hypes you up, fixes your flyaways, hands you snacks when you’re hangry, and keeps the focus on you. I create a judgment-free zone where you can be 100% yourself (yes, even if you’re camera shy or awkward — especially then). I come with backup plans, bobby pins, and bad jokes. I specialize in weddings and elopements — and I’ll always show up ready to document your day with heart, intention, and the kind of care it deserves.

    We met Rachel when we were looking for photographers and she was an absolute hoot and a half to work with. She is very professional, passionate about what she does, and shes also just an all over awesome person. Id recommend her to anyone. She took some amazing shots from multiple different angles. Her pictures are clear, her equipment is awesome, this woman knows what shes doin. We never had a dull moment with her. If we ever needed her again, she would be the first person id ask.

    Rachel was amazing! Captured everything start to finish and everything in between! Even left the location and hiked with us to get some great shots!

  • A day to remember…

    Rachel is one of the most positive and bubbly people I’ve had a chance to work with in the wedding industry, and when we floated the idea of having our vow renewal in Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, she was onboard from the moment we pitched the idea. We had a wonderful time with her at Budakirkja, and I can’t recommend her enough. We LOVE our pictures and would hire her all over again!!
