Rachel Marthaler Photography is a boutique studio based out of Hastings, MN and specializes in weddings, seniors, children and families.
It was a beautiful fall evening when we took Kelly & Andy’s engagement photos on St. John’s campus. The location where their love story began! These two met during college and have such great chemistry together. Their images turned out so beautiful – I love how comfortable they are with each other!
He makes her so happy… i love it!
Congratulations Kelly & Andy! I can’t wait for your wedding coming up this fall!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures Rachel! Everyone has loved your work. I can’t wait for the fall either but in the mean time good luck with your babies! 
Yes, thank you Rachel! We couldn’t be happier with your work and with working with you! Can’t wait to see your little ones
Beautiful
Now that the holiday rush has settled down at the studio I am finally getting these photos up on the blog! The Grand Opening of the new studio space went fantastic to say the least! We had an awesome turn out and it was great to visit with past and new clients as well as family & friends!
My sister, Rita, made some beautiful & scrumptious cheesecakes for the occasion..
Lucy & Rita kept everything in line at the food area!
And, people ask why we have a pool table. Because it’s a big hit, that’s why!
A little mini studio tour. This is the front desk, main area:
Sitting area
My office
The viewing room
And, that’s all folks! I will have a more thorough studio tour coming in the near future! Thanks to all who came to the grand opening and helped us celebrate an 8 month project complete!

What a beautiful place. Can’t wait to book a session at the studio
Linsey + Matt have a winter wedding coming up… in about 10 days! From what I’ve heard, it’s going to be gorgeous. And, I love winter weddings. There are sure to be some fantastic images coming soon of their big day!
The clouds were fantastic the evening we took their photos. These two are my favorite images!

The sky and landscape in the last two … pretty amazing
Alyssa and Travis have a summer wedding planned for this year. I’m sure this little cutie will be a star in some of the photos as well when their big day comes! Jade, their daughter, has some of the prettiest eyes I have ever seen! I just love her eager personality coming through in these first few photos!
Alyssa + Travis – I can’t wait to capture your big day!!

Well, I’ll admit it, I had to add a new category to my blog for this one…. “pets” This was my first ever mainly pet session. And, was it ever fun!! These two dogs were a blast, a challenge and kept us all laughing and on our toes!
So, here you are – Piper & Max wishing you a Very Merry Christmas!

These are absolutely the best! Merry Christmas to you.
Rachel these are absolutely adorable. You can really see their personalities shining through these photos
“Wow”, I amazed you can get a dog to sit that still, but you got two of them together! I am not worried then about my very busy toddler come next fall. Can’t wait to see what you can do with my family.
One of my very first sessions in the new studio and I couldn’t have had better little models to work with! How adorable are these three?
Aren’t they just adorable? If they don’t put a little joy in your heart for Christmas, I don’t know what will!
