Rachel Levine
San Francisco Wedding Photographer
“My amazing team of artists and vendors is completely diverse. We come from many countries and represent a true rainbow. Welcoming couples from every culture and orientation with open arms is important to us.
When couples tell me that they finally feel supported and at peace with their wedding planning, it just lights me up. I'm here to help.”
Rachel Is best known for her elegantly playful and diverse small weddings, photographed at the iconic San Francisco City Hall throughout the last decade. After serving many hundreds of couples there, she's taken her super powers as a creative storyteller and solver of all wedding planning problems out into the wonderlands of Northern California.
Inspired by places that are stunningly beautiful yet still affordable she loves finding creative twists to keep her couples excited about their weddings no matter what their budget. She specializes in couples coming into the area that look to her to create romantic itineraries that showcase the best the Bay Area has to offer, from Muir Woods and San Francisco down to Monterey and Carmel. With deep experience in both wedding photography, and all inclusive wedding planning, her goal is to support her couples on this part of their love story. She feels that everybody has a purpose in life, and this is hers.
Being an entrepreneur is in Rachel's blood. Her grandfather David founded the family business with a horse and cart in 1911, and her other grandfather Gerald was an avid photographer. Destiny combined both of their passions into her own company, Rachel Levine Photography.
Rachel feels lucky to live in the very inclusive and welcoming city of San Francisco, and says it’s unabashedly the perfect backdrop for all kinds of mischief and romance if you’re a photographer. She and her long time partner foster a variety of adorable adoptables with Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, and live with two kittens, Sebastian and Valentino. They've more recently added Mr. Turnip an ear tipped, toothless senior street cat, that they trapped and moved into his own private garden where they wait on him hand and paw. Traveling, days spent in nature, and a good book keep her calm. Weight training and fitness keep her happy.
