PRICING 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 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. MY LOVE FOR FILM In 2018 I picked up my first film camera and photographed my mom getting remarried to my now step-dad! I instantly fell in love with capturing moments. Film to me is just so much bigger than photographing with a digital camera. I can't go back and view the image in camera so I'm essentially capturing a moment in time. The nostalgia and the peacefulness is everything to me and why I'm a photographer. WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT i'm a photographer for untraditional couples Who Value s implicity and experiences that hold meaning to them. if you want to elope in the mountains with your dog i am absolutely here for it. your love story can't and shouldn’t fit into a box and can be anything you want it to be. I love creating a space so my couples can show up and be themselves. i love documenting the candid moments of your day and all the crazy, incredible Moments in between that you'll look back on for eternity.
