Boston wedding photographer capturing candid, emotional moments on film and digital for couples throughout New England and beyond.
Rachael Shek Photography
Your love is real, beautiful, and filled with emotion , and your photos should be too.
As one of the top film and documentary photographers in Boston, I believe that with my whole heart. I'm inspired by great films, amazing food, fresh coffee, walks on the beach, chasing that good light, and the quiet moments shared between people. I don’t just capture how your day looks — I capture how it feels.
Natural, unobtrusive photography that preserves your day with emotion and artistry.

Boston Documentary Film Wedding Photographer
I'm a Boston-based wedding photographer who believes your photos should feel as real as the day itself. I shoot on both film and digital — drawn to the warmth and nostalgia of film, the weight of a moment, the things people forget to pose for. When I'm not photographing weddings across New England, you'll find me on the mats teaching jiu jitsu, chasing good light somewhere new, or rewatching a great film with good food and better company.
I don't show up with a shot list. I show up for you.
Hey, I'm Rachael
Honored to be seen in:
Your Love Story, Your Way.

Your day is one long string of unrepeatable moments — the big ones and the quiet ones in between. As a Boston documentary film wedding photographer, I shoot on 35mm film, digital, and Super 8 video. I'll guide you thoughtfully when you need it, then step back and let your day unfold naturally — so you actually get to live it, not just perform it.
"Words cannot express how happy we are that we found Rachael. From our first time meeting her, we immediately knew that she’d be the perfect photographer for our day...It is clear that photography is more than just a job and that she truly puts everything she has into the work she does. She is an artist in the way she captured our day, and I highly highly recommend!!"
Erin & Thomas, Boston Couple
As a Boston wedding photographer, what excites me most is seeing how every couple brings their unique love story to life. From the thoughtful details and meaningful traditions to the people who make each day truly theirs, every celebration is a one-of-a-kind reflection of the couple. I’m constantly inspired by the joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments, making every wedding I photograph unforgettable.
Love Stories
wedding stories on film & digital
Based in Boston year-round, I'm always willing to travel anywhere to capture your special day. Destination weddings offer such creative backdrops and provide another way for a couple to express who they are. I love exploring and traveling, and I’m excited to bring that passion to documenting your unique love story.
