I'm RACHEL

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!

Emily and Brian were truly a sight for sore eyes, and a half & a half. I had so much fun capturing their pets, their new home, and a night in a Chicagoland forest preserve. Peek below for their dreamy session, caught on digital mixed in with Portra 400 film on the Pentax 645N and Fuji 400H on my Canon 1V!
