Ali Rae Photography

We were married in Pacific City, OR. Ali was incredible to work with and made the whole experience very comfortable. She was open to all of our ideas, but also gave us a direction when we asked for her guidance. We traveled to several locations to make sure we got unique and gorgeous photographs. Even though we only have a dozen or so "sneak peek" photographs right now (which we got after 48 hours), they are absolutely phenomenal. We cannot wait to see the rest in a few weeks!

Hiring Ali as our photographer on our wedding day was the best decision we could make. She is insanely talented and you can see that from her sample photos on her website but she is also so creative with her shots. I was so impressed with how many "unique" shots we got with different angles, lighting, using my veil as a prop, etc. She is just unreal. We are obsessed with EVERY SINGLE PICTURE. I don't even love how I look in photos normally but this was the first time I felt so beautiful when those photos came back. She also brings such a kind and calm energy to the day which I needed. She is so talented and gifted at what she does. If you're needing a photographer for your wedding or for anything else, do not hesitate and hire her! It was the BEST decision and 1000000% worth the money. Thank you, Ali! I know have the most beautiful photos to look back on for the rest of my life.

From the start, working with Ali put us at ease for our wedding preparation. She has such a calm, approachable and easy going energy, and is not only flexible but also accommodating. She went above her services for us, in a number of ways; she was collaborative and receptive to our "vision" (while still leading with her creative eye and style); and she perfectly melded into our wedding party. Looking back, I barely perceived Ali and her assistant and they were there stealthily capturing every key moment --- a true sign of experts. We quickly received our previews (so many!!!!) and gushed over every single one. She's a natural at her craft and a FAB addition to your wedding day. Thank you, Ali!!!! We're forever grateful for you and your documenting of our special day.

Ali was wonderful to work with! Our wedding was postponed due to covid and she was super flexible with our changed plans. Her photos are beautiful and it was really important to us to have someone match the laid back energy of the wedding but still be super pro and she nailed it! Both my husband and I hate having our picture taken and she made us feel super comfortable and got so many beautiful shot! We will definitely use Ali again!

Ali was such a fun photographer to work with! My husband and I had planned to visit the North Cascades National Park on our honeymoon and Ali was not only willing to make the trek out to Washington, but since she had been there before she was able to give us valuable insight as to where we could shoot! We had a phone call ahead of time with Ali which helped us get to know her better (and therefore get more comfortable) and also to help us know what to expect. It ended up raining our whole shoot, but Ali had such a great attitude about it and if anything made the shoot more fun! She hyped up our newfound marriage and got us looking extra cozy for pictures. She also adventured out towards the river with us as we both literally sank in what I can only describe as quicksand! Such a trooper. I'm literally obsessed with all our photos and her editing style matched the landscape so perfectly. I would shoot with her again in a heartbeat! Book Ali and you won't be disappointed.

We are so happy we chose Ali for our engagement photos! She caught all the right candid moments, posed us a little but mostly just let us have fun with each other which was awesome. We were nervous because we are usually behind the camera with our videos, but Ali made us laugh and feel so comfortable. She also let us sneak in our little girl for some, and even took some single photos of her which we are SO great full for. As for the photos themselves, they are everything we hoped for and more! She does such beautiful work, and we will be recommending her to all of our friends and family.

Great to work with and does an amazing job.

Ali truly made this experience perfect and she exceeded all expectations while doing so. As private people Ali was not only able to made us feel completely as at easy during the photos but also was able to share the natural love we cherish through out her art. Ali made it her priority to get to know us and understand what made our love so special. We are so grateful for her work.

Ali you are truly an artist, you captured our elopement perfectly. You highlighted more than what we were hoping for in all the photos; our love, family, and the beautiful Oregon coast. We so appreciate your energy and going with the flow of the day. We can’t thank you enough for the photos and are so grateful to have these special memories captured for years to come.

Ali is great and here is why! Our wedding (August 1, 2020) underwent some pretty big changes due to Covid-19: we’d planned on a wedding in a chapel with over 100 people, and ended up getting married with about 10 guests in my parents’ backyard, but partly thanks to Ali, it was no less magical. We also had an engagement session back in March with her on the Oregon coast, and we (and more impressively, my family) were all won over by the photos she captured of us. During the wedding day, she did a great job following the timeline we had talked about, and helping us follow it as well. She even found a place in my parents’ house that I had overlooked that turned out to be a great backdrop for photos. As a bride I felt calmed, rather than stressed by her presence. We got the photos back and they are stunning; everyone was very impressed and even surprised, somehow, that everyone was so “photogenic.” It was a wonderful way to share the experience with those who could not be there, and as a memento for us. I highly recommend hiring Ali for your next photo-worthy event!
