HI, I'M RACHEL!
welcome!
micro WEDDINGS
elopements
This feels unimaginable to me, but I know that Rachel would want me to update her clients, followers, and friends.
On May 1st Rachel passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. I know she shared her health struggles through her social media, and so I felt it important to update you all through her website.
Rachel’s blog has historically been filled with light and love, so it pains me to add this post. I encourage you to share her photos with friends and family, on social media, or in person so that her passion can live on through her work.
If you’re reading this, it means that Rachels photography touched you in some way. I’m sure many of you will mourn the loss of pictures that will never be taken, along with the loss of Rachel herself. I would like to thank you, her clients, for allowing her to capture your special moments, and live her life doing what she loved.
We will be celebrating Rachel’s life in Arlington on Monday, May 13th. Here is the link to her obituary, so that if anyone would like to attend her memorial service, you have the information. If there is any new information to add, we will update this blog.
Sending you all peace,
Rebecca Ruest
