Hello world!

I’m Rachel with Sunnylife Photography and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Tennessee and 30A wedding, elopement, and motherhood photographer

If you’re looking for a photographer who captures authentic, emotional, and timeless moments, you’re in the right place. I’m Rachel, a Tennessee and 30A wedding, elopement, and motherhood photographer serving Tennessee, 30A, and Panama City Beach, Florida—and I truly believe in the magic of storytelling through photography.

My passion is capturing the love between couples, the deep bond between a mother and her child, and the fleeting moments that make life so special. Whether you’re planning a dreamy beach elopement, a heartfelt wedding, or a beautiful motherhood session, my goal is to make your experience effortless, joyful, and full of connection.

I’m honored to be a part of these incredible moments, and I can’t wait to tell your story through my lens.

My Photography Style: Storytelling with Heart

I want your photos to feel like YOU—filled with warmth, laughter, and genuine emotions. My approach is natural and relaxed, capturing both candid interactions and classic portraits so you walk away with a gallery of stunning images that feel effortless and timeless.

Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

Authenticity – Real, candid moments filled with joy and connection.

Soft, Natural Light – I love golden sunsets and dreamy sun-lit tones.

Relaxed & Fun Sessions – A chance to be you. I guide you to feel comfortable.

Story-Driven Photography – Every image should bring back emotions and memories.

I believe that every season of life deserves to be captured beautifully, whether it’s the excitement of your wedding day or the quiet, intimate moments of motherhood.

Why I Love Photographing Weddings, Motherhood, and Families

Photography is personal for me. My business name, Sunnylife Photography, is inspired by my angel baby, Sunny, who is in heaven. He has been my greatest inspiration in capturing love, connection, and the fleeting moments that matter most.

This is why I am so passionate about:

Weddings & Elopements – The joy, the love, the emotions—every wedding is unique, and I love documenting these once-in-a-lifetime moments. Whether it’s a beach elopement on 30A or a mountain wedding in Tennessee, I’m here to capture it all.

Motherhood and Family Photography – As a mom myself, I know how quickly time passes. I love capturing the small, in-between moments—tiny hands holding yours, giggles between you and your child, the deep love in your eyes. These are the moments a mother and a family want to be able to remember forever.

A Little More About the Artist

I’m a wife & mom! I’m married to Matt, and we have two beautiful daughters (ages 2 and 13).

I love the beach! We’ve been vacationing along 30A for 10+ years, and it’s one of my favorite places to shoot. Our love for the beach led us to create Sunnylife Dreams, our beachside Airbnb between 30A and Panama City Beach, Florida. It’s a stylish getaway for families, couples, and friend groups looking to experience the beautiful Florida coast. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1252312202462146111?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=9c83f83d-8e0c-49e3-9898-1a92db481c94

Favorite adventures? Golf cart rides, camping with my family, gardening, yoga, boat days on Center Hill Lake, and soaking in golden sunsets.

My clients become friends. I truly care about each couple and family I photograph—I want you to feel comfortable, celebrated, and seen.
