About

Overview & Vibe

Rachel Gutierrez Photography is a Sydney wedding and elopement photographer who has spent more than a thousand weddings learning how to stay out of the way. She works solo for most couples, which keeps the day quiet and unhurried, and she is as comfortable in a city laneway as she is on a clifftop in the Blue Mountains.

Style & Approach

The work is natural and candid, built on connection rather than direction. There is no stiff posing; couples are given enough guidance to feel steady and then left to enjoy themselves, which is where the unguarded moments come from. Ninety per cent of her bookings arrive by word of mouth.

Ideal For

Couples planning an urban elopement or an intimate ceremony, and anyone who feels awkward in front of a camera. She photographs weddings of every size, in paddocks, temples, sand dunes, historic buildings and family lounge rooms.

The Need-to-Knows

Her standard-rate area covers Southern Sydney, Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, with a small travel contribution beyond that. A five hundred dollar deposit and a signed contract secure a date, and a second photographer can be added at one hundred dollars an hour.

Standout Feature

An engagement session is offered to every couple as a low-pressure rehearsal, so the wedding day is not the first time they have been photographed together.

Albums & Prints

Wedding Album. Description: Curated by the studio's designers with two rounds of changes and the couple's final approval, plus a choice of cover material and premium embossing.

Rachel confirms the date is free, sends a contract, and holds the booking once the signed contract and deposit are returned.
