about

Rachel Hadiashar destination wedding photographer A MERGE happens when relationships cross cultural and religious barriers, and the relationship begins to join families together in a way that pleasantly surprises the world. There’s a fantastic explosion of life and love and family and tradition and I think it is intriguing.

If you just want someone to take some nice photos of you cutting the cake, you might want to look somewhere else. I like to think of the ultimate wedding photo more along the lines of when your grandma gets on the dance floor at the same time as your uncle Hamid and starts dancing like she is 22 again.

I am an artist committed to bringing out the amazing details of your life and personality.

I am bored by mediocrity.
I am inspired by life, color, and cultural collisions.

It’s my goal as a wedding photographer to artfully experience the event with you so that you will be able to share and remember the pieces of feeling and place. I want to create a unique collection of images with you that reflect your specifically amazing life. No two people are alike; no two wedding photographs are alike. I know there are no formulas and I love to embrace the unexpected.

I travel anywhere and everywhere for select worldwide commissions, working to bring you eclectic environmental wedding réportage that combines fashion, photojournalism, and details of place.

MERGE weddings now accepting select events for artful collaborations that explore the full palette of colors and nuances.

I would love to meet up with you to discuss life, love, and your wedding celebration. In fact I just had my own merge when I joined a large west coast Persian-American family on February 29, 2008!

xoxo,
