WELCOME TO THE BLOG

I'm Rachel Mandel, a fine art wedding photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. When I'm not photographing beautiful couples, you can find me enjoying the city with my boyfriend, Cole or spending time in nature. The Mandelette blog is where I share the stories behind my couples' special days. Pull up a chair and stay a while!

Holly and Sage’s Indiana Engagement | Chicago Wedding Photographer

FILED IN:

Engagement

When Holly and Sage contacted me to photograph their engagement, I was beyond thrilled! The cutest couple ever asked for my style guide, came dressed to impress, and were such great sports through the cloudy, gloomy and cold weather. I couldn’t be happier with their photos, and we had SO much fun!!
