For over 25 years, I’ve been capturing life’s most meaningful moments — and celebrations have always held a special place in my heart.

Some of you may remember me as Rachel Lomeli Photography, where I built a name as a top wedding photographer in Lake Tahoe and beyond. That experience shaped the way I see and document moments — with emotion, intention, and an eye for the in-between.

While my focus has evolved over the years into more experience-based portrait work, I still accept a limited number of meaningful events each year for clients who want something more personal and elevated.

I intentionally keep event bookings limited so I can give each one my full attention, creativity, and care.

Because these moments aren’t just events — they’re gatherings of the people you love most, filled with connection, energy, and memories that pass far too quickly.

My approach is to capture not just what it looked like, but what it felt like.

The laughter.

The emotion.

The quiet, fleeting moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

Here’s a look at some of my past work. You may notice watermarks from Rachel Lomeli Photography — that’s still me, just from my earlier wedding-focused years. The name has changed, but the heart behind my work has only deepened.

If you’re planning a meaningful celebration and want it documented in a way that feels real, honest, and timeless, I’d love to connect.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
