About | International Photography | Rachel Leintz Photography

Well, Hello!

lady of the castle

In a previous life, Rachel worked as a crime scene investigator for the Phoenix and Mesa Police Departments, where she learned the physics of light and the science behind photography.

But having her newborn son, Wyatt, at home during her long homicide call-out schedule wasn’t a good fit. So in 2014, she took the leap, the plunge, the dive! into the artistic world of photography and hasn’t looked back.

Other than being obsessed with finding dramatic light, Rachel spends her time mapping out all the new Raising Canes Chicken Finger locations in Arizona, drooling over Willamette Valley wines, gobbling up ANYTHING her chef-of-a-husband cooks, and geeking-out over the magic that is the new Zelda for Nintendo Switch (yes, she’s been a closet nerd her entire life). Voyage Phoenix recently did an interview with Rachel about her art and business. Check out the full article here.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my work and learn a little about my obsession with light, art, and drama. I'd like to share more about my amazing clients and the way I've been able to help them capture the beauty and FEEL of their weddings. Below, you can read all about the experiences my clients have shared, in their own words!

Rachel is simply fantastic. Not only do we feel this way, but several of our guests volunteered this sentiment as well (how often do guests rave about a photographer?).

"Planning a destination wedding can be a bit daunting. Luckily, I came across Rachel's website, saw her beautiful images, and knew I'd found our photographer. From the start, Rachel was so easy to work with. And as our wedding day got closer, and timeline decisions needed to be made, I really appreciated her promptness, feedback and flexibility as we worked through the details. My husband and I had so much fun on our wedding day and our photos perfectly captured each moment! Very thankful for Rachel's artistic eye and the amazing pictures we will enjoy for many years to come!"
