Welcome
Recently, I have been encouraged to "speak up" and "speak out".  I figured what better way to do this than by launching a blog to go with my new website layout?  For those of you who don't know me, I'm Rachael... the younger of the two sisters that co-own Cymbidium.  After a year of doing our accounting (and hating my life) I was pushed by a slightly older and wiser sister to pursue my dreams of being a photographer.  A lot of research, a few trips to the camera store, and an extended stay abroad later... CYMBIDIUM photography was born.  It's been a few years now but the excitement of showing the world how I see things returns every time I pick up the camera and LOOK THROUGH MY LENS.

a.jpg"The customer is always right" is Brent's favorite saying!  Since technically he was Tiffany's customer, things between the two started slowly (although they had definitely caught each other's eye!).  Things picked up when she asked them on their first date and the two have been inseparable ever since.  Check out a few of my favorite picts from their big day!

Austin, Texas.  Need I say more?!  Shooting this wedding was an absolute blast!  Here are a few of my favorite shots of the super cute couple!

Then, there is my favorite part of every wedding (yes, it's girly and cliche, but I will say that I did love it even before the movie 27 Dresses made it popular)... THE GROOM'S FACE, when he sees her for the first time!!!

Thanks for sharing! I especially like the writing on the envelopes.

One of my favorite people to shoot for is Maxine Trowbridge, of Pink Memo.  Recently, Keith Lissner (pictured above w/ his models) was the featured designer of "Fashion Dish" (Pink Memo's monthly luncheon/ trunk show).  Click here to view more of the photos I took of this fabulous event!
