YOUR INVESTMENT IN MY ART Trying to figure out how to budget for a wedding can be daunting + stressful, I know. But when it gets down to it, photos are the most important investment you can make on your wedding day. Your photos will serve as a happy constant reminder as you grow old together. You dessert will get eaten, your wedding attire will get hung up in the back of your closet and your bouquet will only last so long. Your wedding gallery is the only thing, other than your own memories of your day that you’ll be able to look back on for years to come. That’s why hiring a wedding photographer is so valuable. Finding someone who you vibe with and who truly understands your style and vision will pay off in the long run. Putting your trust into someone who will capture seen and unseen moments with family and friends is never easy but I will make sure that no details are left out. SET UP A CALL!

I'm most inspired by nature and tie the earthy tones into my imagery and art.

INVESTMENT YOUR EXPERIENCE PORTFOLIO KIND WORDS FROM PAST CLIENTS "Rae is one of the kindest souls you’ll meet, and she’s extremely talented. Working with her throughout our wedding planning experience was an absolute joy and she communicated with us every step of the way; there wasn’t a point in time where we ever felt lost or confused about the photography aspect of our big day which is a BIG plus for us. Her turn around time in getting photos back was beyond quick, but you can tell she still puts so much effort into making sure every final image she delivers is perfect. It was nice to have someone who wasn’t just a photographer, but became someone who we consider a friend of ours too." — Heaven Client

RAE ANN ELOPEMENT + WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER DOCUMENTING ROMANTIC MOMENTS INTENTIONAL BASED IN VERMONT INTIMATE ADVENTUROUS LOVE STORIES YOUR WAY CINEMATIC GET TO KNOW ME THE ARTIST I have known for over two decades I was meant to make art. The power of creating something so beautiful and magical enthralled me and motivated my senses. It was an escape. Anyone can be an artist + photographer but my approach is different. I want to cultivate a space that is yours to take up and breath in together. SOME OF MY MOMENTS A big part of my work is creating imagery that brings emotion. I’m 100% nostalgic when it comes to photography and love looking through old albums and photos from the places I’ve been and the things I’ve experienced. I can feel the emotion and the excited energy when I look back on my Colorado car camping trip where we camped through Northern Colorado. I can feel the warm, dry air when I look through my travel photos from Sedona Arizona. These photos, to me, give a sense of wanderlust and take up space. Below are some moments I’ve been lucky to have been able to experience over the past 3 years. Hiking up Spruce Mountain Hiking in Franconia Notch, NH Hiking Cathedral Rock, AZ Cooking over stovetop while camping in the Flat Tops, CO Flat Tops Colorado Car camping in the Flat Tops Wilderness for the first time in Colorado Hiking to Gold Creek Lake in Zirkel Circles, CO Looking out from Cathedral Rock, AZ Camping in Lac Aziscohos, ME Hiking to Fish Creek Falls, Steamboat Springs CO St. Pete, FL Playing a street piano in downtown St. Pete, FL Hiking up Spruce Mountain INTIMATE WEDDING + ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER • ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT • DESTINATION WEDDING MY PHILOSOPHY I just want to be honest from the start, I’m not like most photographers. My approach to documenting moments is a bit different. You won’t see me posing every meticulous movement. My job is to allow you to feel comfortable and natural in front of my camera because let’s be honest, it can be hard sometimes. My approach is relaxed which allows my couples to be their genuine selves. I’m not a huge fan of posing but rather documenting your moments as they happen. If you came here looking for candid documentary style photography, you’re in the right place. ​ I'm all about connection, harmony and balance. I aim to capture the prominence of the natural world and the beauty of the surroundings with the individual subjects in a harmony. The main focus of my work is to make sure that you’re both able to be present and enjoy each other in the moment. I want you to be able to have images you can look back on for years to come that are meaningful. Moments that are filled with joy, laughter and tears. Whatever your vision for your wedding looks like, I’ll make sure it’s documented in a way that captures you both who you truly are together, in love.
