Spokane wedding photographer for fun-loving couples.
Why Couples Choose Scheel Studios
Throughout the day I blend candid storytelling with gentle direction so your images feel real, and effortless, never stiff or overly posed. My goal is to stay as unobtrusive as possible in order to make the experience more authentic.
A calm, natural photography style
Thoughtful, true-to-life editing
My editing is timeless, clean, and true to your day, with natural skin tones and colors that reflect your vision. I want my editing to enhance the images but not change the vision.
Clear communication from start to finish
I want you to feel supported through the entire process with prompt communication, clear expectations, and a personal approach from inquiry to gallery delivery. If you need anything, I’m here.
"Rachael was easy-going, friendly, and accommodating to our requests on our wedding day. She made sure we didn't have to worry about the photography aspect of our wedding day and did an excellent job organizing family pictures. We LOVE the quality of our pictures and the level of editing (not too much, not too little). Highly recommend!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Will we get sneak peeks shortly after the wedding?
YES! Usually within a week. My preview galleries are 50-100 images. You’ll be able to enjoy these images while I work on the rest!
How do we reserve our date?
We require a $500 retainer and signed contract to save your date. I love meeting in person first but a phone call works great too!
Can we see a full gallery from a recent wedding?
100% YES! You can see more than one also! If you tell me about your wedding I’d also be happy to see if I have a similar one.
How many hours of coverage do you offer?
For weddings we do anything from 4-12 hours (maybe more if you ask)! We also offer rehearsal dinner coverage if you want more of the weekend captured.
What happens if there is an emergency?
I will ALWAYS do everything in my power to make sure you are covered. I have a good network of great photographers that I could call on if needed. I've never missed a session but I will have back-up plans in place. Our contract protects you too! If something does come up then I'll always let you know ASAP and also let you decide how you want to continue. Communication is key and I'll never leave you hanging.
How many photos should we expect to receive?
A LOT! Although, I do prioritize quality over quantity you will still receive more photos than you know what to do with. Why? Because it is such an important day. For you, it will fly by. I want to be able to show you moments you didn't even know about. I do not limit images and will never try to stick to a specific number. If you have lots of events your gallery will be bigger. Extra hours equals more photos. Second shooter?! Even more photos!
We’re awkward in front of the camera. Do you help with posing?
Absolutely! That's what I'm here for and definitely part of my job. Many people feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. I promise it's not just you. I will guide you into poses or step back and capture things more naturally as. You'll get a mix of both on your wedding day. My approach is centered on real emotions and my goal is always to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
Are engagement sessions included?
In our most popular package, yes. I always recommend doing engagement photos with your wedding photographer. It gives you a chance to work with me and you’ll be able to practice before the big day arrives. You’ll feel more prepared and it will be easier the second time. If engagement sessions are not included you can always add one for $500.
Do you help us plan?
I'm not a wedding planner but photos do work out better if we talk about how to blend photos into your day. I never want photos to take over and I have tricks to make them feel effortless. I'm happy to help with your timeline knowing it will work out better if we work on it together.
How long does it take to get our full gallery?
Our contracted time is 8-10 weeks.
