Hi there!
We know booking a photographer or videographer can be challenging and at times confusing, especially if you don’t know much about the people behind the business. We wanted to help combat that by telling you a little bit about who we are and why we love shooting together :)
First off, Mitch is an Illinois native who got his start in the digital media and marketing world as a graphic designer, website and social media administrator, and (his favorite of the bunch) a photographer. Rachel is a New Hampshire gal who got her degree in Knoxville, TN studying her passion, videography.
Our love for photography and videography came in different ways. Mitch was obsessed with photography right when he got his first digital camera at the age of 10. Rachel got involved with videography for the first time doing live camera work at her church when she was a sophomore in high school.
Our love for this creative field has only grown since.
We met in 2014 while Rachel came to Rockford for a Summer internship. She was the "cute new intern" and he was the "guy hobbling because he just got his appendix taken out." No worries though, we bonded over our love of 2000's pop punk music and Dunkin' Donuts and the rest was history. We dated long distance for two years until we finally got married June 18th, 2016.
A few months later, Mitch and Rachel Visuals was founded, and it has been the best roller coaster of our lives.
God has blessed us so much in our journey of finding each other and also giving us similar passions in our work. Before meeting each other, we enjoyed gaining a decade of digital media experience, but now that we get to do it together, IT ROCKS. So thanks for believing in us and letting us use our creative passions to capture some of your most special moments. We wouldn’t be here without you and we are incredibly grateful.
All our love,
Mitch and Rachel
