Since 2001, Rachael has photographed over 200 weddings primarily in the Chicagoland area. Her talent has also landed her gigs in surrounding Midwest states, and as far as California, Florida, Rhode Island, Maryland and Mykonos, Greece.

Rachael and her associates photograph over 50 weddings per season, dozens of portrait sessions including maternity, baby and family portraits, and local commercial photography. Rachael feels the rewards of being a true family photographer when she is asked to photograph the new babies of past wedding clients.

Rachael began shooting weddings while majoring in Photojournalism at Columbia College Chicago, capturing her first event on film in 1997. She gained experience through internships and stringing for the Pioneer Press.

Armed with a bachelor's degree in Photojournalism, Rachael landed in corporate America while at the same time launching and growing her photography business - Rachael Silvers Photography. For five years she worked on building her business and training associate and assistant photographers. In the summer of 2006 she was fortunate enough to make the split from the corporate world and focus on her passion for photography full-time.

Rachael is an internationally ranked member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) and a member of Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) .
