Weddings with Rae

Documentary style wedding photography for couples who want more presence than posing. Because it’s your wedding day, not a photoshoot. Your wedding doesn’t exist solely to be photographed. So instead of your whole day revolving around staging shots, what if we document your celebration as it naturally unfolds? Somewhere along the way, modern weddings got a little lost on the way to the altar, getting more into how things look than how they feel. And that’s so backwards, because your wedding is really about connection—with each other, with your people, with the moment you’re in. With your big intention for the day, and why you’re taking this big, beautiful leap together. So let’s flip the script on wedding photography and document real moments in real time. You’ll actually get to enjoy the champagne you chose instead of posing with it. You’ll have real conversations with the people you love, not just quick “omg hi how are you gotta go!”s between endless family photos. You’ll throw your head back laughing at your best friend’s toast without worrying about your “good side.” Documentary style wedding photography that’s true-to-life and true to you. From all-out parties to low-key elopements, it’s all about your day, your way. Your wedding might look like a backyard BBQ or a warehouse party for two hundred. It might mean a sunrise ceremony with just your immediate family or a weekend-long destination celebration with your whole crew. Whatever you’re dreaming up, it deserves to be captured honestly—no staging, no interrupting, just real life told true. Because here’s the thing: when you’re free to just be present, the most amazing moments unfold naturally. Those candids of everyone being completely, authentically themselves? They’ll tell your story way better than any typical shot list ever could.
