Behind the Lens


 
 


Rachel Stevens, Owner & Photographer

Hello! I’m Rachel, owner of Bayside Gathering Co. I’ve always had a passion for creativity, and in 2017, I was blessed with the opportunity to take photography from my favorite hobby to my dream career. 

I’m a published photographer on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and I have found that I have a true talent for capturing real moments, and an eye for bringing out my client’s personalities. I am so passionate about helping my clients record the moments they never want to forget through the art of photography.

I specialize in a romantic, bold & colorful style, where I allow my client’s to be free and raw in any setting and environment they are looking to capture. I take your day as seriously as I would my own wedding day. I am on call with every one of my couples and make myself easily accessible at all times. My job is to help your day run as smoothly as possible and capture every moment to be cherished for a lifetime. Since opening my doors I have been honored to capture 155 weddings!

Your story is waiting to be told, let’s do this!


 
 
 

My Story …

When I’m not spending time with my clients, I’m with my proudest accomplishment in life, my family.

I feel so lucky to be married to my best friend, Mike, and we’re the proud parents of our four children: Layla, Joey, Piper and our newest addition, baby Scarlett. My parents own a Bed & Breakfast in Cape Charles, The Baywood, and you can often find us on their private beach, boating out in the Chesapeake Bay, hiking the many trails of our beautiful Eastern Shore, and spending time in our sweet little town of Cape Charles.

Our home is filled with so much love and laughter, I am truly blessed.
