Stunning photos!

We can't thank Nadine enough for everything she did for our engagement shoot, wedding day, and full gallery. My husband and I were initially on the fence about doing an engagement shoot, but ultimately after seeing the pictures, I'm so glad we did it in order to have a chance to meet Nadine before the wedding and see what her style is. She was so professional and organized when it came to the day of timeline and it really helped keep us on schedule. We just received our gallery after getting married the week before Christmas (which is so quick given the number of pictures we got) and we were blown away by how amazing they all are. Nadine captured every single moment of the day and there wasn't one detail that was missed. You can tell how much time and energy was spent into making sure the gallery was perfect. Nadine is so incredibly talented and has the best eye. Her "moody" aesthetic was the perfect complement to our venue, color scheme, dresses, flowers, time of year, etc. It was amazing to be able to relive our wedding day from the outside since there are so many things I already forgot about or didn't see the day of like detail shots of the ballroom, cocktail hour, the guys getting ready, and our guests throughout the night. I couldn't imagine having anyone else photograph our wedding. Thank you so much for everything, Nadine!

Everything you want and beyond in a photographer

When we expressed that we wanted some editorial style pictures, Nadine understood the assignment to a T!! We didn’t believe that we are photogenic and artsy people, but her eyes for fine art made us look like editorial models so effortlessly! Everything from composition and style to lighting and exposure was just pure perfection. She’s also a pleasure to work with. She helped developing a timeline and recommended locations that fit our vision. Definitely recommend!

Such a great experience!

Nadine was amazing to work with. She made sure all the shots I wanted were captured and was highly organized throughout the entire day. The venue was a destination wedding and I really leaned on her to stage and capture the artsy and emotional shots of the day and she came through 110%.

I highly recommend her for wedding day and if you can, rehearsal dinner.

When I look at the pictures she’s given us, I can think back to that exact moment and feel the emotion in the picture. That was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer and Nadine did that and more. Capturing those raw moments was something I was very particular about when selecting my photographer and she definitely went out of her way to make sure my vision was captured!

Definitely recommend!

So talented!!!

Nadine from Heart & Rae Photography was the photographer for my micro wedding in March. She was highly professional and has a keen eye for detail! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our day. Her turn around time was amazing and my husband and I absolutely love our photos! I can't recommend Heart & Rae Photography enough!

Nadine is the best!

Nadine seriously KILLED IT with our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both fairly uncomfortable in front of the camera but she made us look like we knew what we were doing. Our photos are insane and we have gotten so many compliments. Like other reviewers have said, they really do look like they came out of a magazine! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she is also super helpful throughout the entire planning process. Always available when I had a question and incredibly thorough with creating a timeline for the day of so that everything ran smoothly. She even helped with finding a spot for our first look photos and came out to check it out a couple weeks before the wedding to make sure it would work (and we live about an hour from her). I definitely experienced some pre-wedding anxiety and she helped calm me down! After the wedding, a family friend suddenly passed away. I asked if she had any more photos of them and she ended up sending me a handful of extra pictures. So, you get more than just a great photographer when you hire her! She is incredibly talented, professional, and kind. Thank you, Nadine, for everything. Our photos will be something to cherish and look back on for years to come!

Amazing, professional & the best!

We knew from the very beginning that we had made the right choice with choosing Nadine! Before we contracted, she asked to have an in-person meeting to get to know each other - this is something that not a lot of people do anymore and it means a lot.
Our engagement pictures came out amazing and we could not be happier.
Her help planning with them & our day of pictures was amazing, professional & so helpful. She helped to plan every step of the day. She also helped to keep everything on track & continuously checked in to make sure we were okay the day of the wedding.
Nadine is the best of the best - we cannot wait to see the whole finished product!
We are so thankful that we found her!!!

Look No Further! Nadine is Everything you need!

My husband and I hired Nadine as the photography for our wedding. Since we booked her, she made sure all of our needs were met and that everything was organized for our wedding day. She is very responsive to any questions that we had and listened to our needs. Her photography is gorgeous and the work speaks for itself!

Without a doubt, Nadine is the best and I strongly recommend her! She will not disappoint!

Lauren N. - bride

Nadine and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. It was clear that day and in the photos now how much she understood the style of photos we were looking for. She found the most perfect places for us to shoot based on what brought out the best in the venue and in my wife and I as a couple. Nothing felt forced and this helped us to let our natural feelings really come through in the moment which showed in the photos. Nadine responds incredibly quickly to emails which has made the process of getting the photos after the wedding and selecting our prints go seamlessly. Nadine allowed for us to have photos that capture our wedding in the most perfect way and we feel lucky to have these amazing photos that can so easily transport us back to the best day of our lives.

High quality through and through

Nadine was exceptional in everything. She will help you create the timeline and offer so much advice on places in the Philadelphia area that is ideal to create that incredible photo backdrop. I shared a few photos and got a few responses of that they look like they came from a magazine. I am often awkward in front of a camera but they came out so well and she gave me great direction during the shoot. Her assistant was super pleasant as well.

So happy to have such beautiful photos to remind us of our day!

We could not have been happier with our experience with Nadine! She was very responsive by email throughout the process and set up a time to chat prior so that we could talk about expectations and timing which allowed everything to run smoothly day of. Nadine beautifully captured our small ceremony in the city, along with family pictures and pictures of my husband and I following. We look forward to using her in the future for family sessions =)
