The photographer behind Simone Biles’ wedding

Also of Alex and Reagan Bregman, and Parker McCollum’s wedding

HOUSTON – Photographing the perfect wedding moments can be challenging and special.

But for Rachel Taylor of Raetay Photography, snapping these moments comes easily.

A wedding photographer for thirteen years with an impressive portfolio, she has shot weddings for some of the Houston A-listers, including Alex and Reagan Bregman and Parker McCollum. If you are curious about how those photos turned out, scroll ↓.

Recently, Rachel was asked to be at the courthouse when Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and Texan Player Jonathan Owens officially tied the knot. So naturally, we invited her to the studio to talk about how she got this gig and why she chose the venue for the photos. And, of course, we had to ask whether she had any fun stories when shooting a wedding and tips for couples getting married.

Rachel suggests -

“Trust your photographer. You booked them for a reason. Ditch the shot list. And just be fully present in those moments. Your photos will be ten times better for it.”
