The Heart of Mandelette
Mandelette Photography is a luxury wedding photography and videography team based in Chicago, founded by Rachel in 2011. With a focus on providing a fun and natural environment, Rachel hand-selects her team and trains them in the Mandelette style to deliver editorial and documentary-style images. The team captures authentic moments and stunning portraits while remaining unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. Mandelette is dedicated to capturing the beauty of all love and creating an enjoyable experience for joyful couples.
Capturing the Beauty of Unplanned Moments
As a lover of photography, I have always had a special place in my heart for candid moments frozen in time. There’s something truly magical about capturing a moment that was never planned, but still holds so much emotion and beauty. And when it comes to wedding photography, this unplanned magic is where the real beauty lies.
While portraits are lovely and make for beautiful keepsakes, it’s the candid moments that truly bring a wedding day to life in photographs. From the nervous anticipation as the wedding celebrant walks down the aisle, to the joyous tears during the parent dances, these unplanned moments are what make each wedding unique and unforgettable.
This is why I am so grateful for the talented team of photographers and cinematographers at Mandelette. Based in Chicago, our team members are true artists who have a passion for capturing the beauty of unplanned moments at weddings.
The Talented Team at Mandelette
Our team was trained by Rachel Bruggeman, who has since stepped back from taking photographs herself. But despite her absence from behind the camera, Rachel is still a big part of Mandelette and takes great pride in the growth and success of our photographers. She has seen them develop into true wedding photographic documentarians, capturing the essence of each wedding in a way that is both beautiful and timeless.
