Wedding + Portrait Photographer based in Kansas City, Missouri

Wedding photography for genuine and passionate souls. I work with couples in Kansas City and across the country to bring their wedding day visions to life through timeless imagery and creative planning. My job on your wedding day is so much more than showing up and snapping great photographs. It's about celebrating you and your love, building connection, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Meet the photographer

Hello, I'm Rachael!

I am thrilled to have you here with me!

It is always an honor to have someone take time out of their day to view my work. I fell in love with photography at a young age and I have been able to use that love and creativity to bring life to so many precious moments. I ultimately knew I needed to take a step and open my own photography business in 2021 and I was able to step away from my corporate position in 2023. What a blessing!

I am so excited to meet you and see what we can create together!

Lets get started :)

Rachael Baker

Rachael was AMAZING to work with. My partner and I had Rachael do our engagement session and our wedding. We had never had professional photos done before so we were a little worried about being able to feel comfortable in front of the camera, but Rachael made it easy! Such a genuine person with a real talent. We are in love with all of the photos from our big day! Seriously could not recommend her enough and will continue to recommend her to everyone we know!“

Rachael is a consummate professional. She understands how to direct people so that she can achieve the best shots based off of the client's needs. I deeply appreciate how organized she is prior to the event so that she understands the needs and expectations of the client. I work at a local arts agency, and she is someone we plan on working with for the long haul!

I had an amazing experience with Rachael when taking my grad photos!! She really went above and beyond with them. I’m very awkward when taking photos but she made me feel very confident and helped me with poses. She is very kind and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome of photos. They’re all so beautiful!! I definitely recommend RW photography to anyone looking for some professional- beautiful photos!
