WELCOME

I remember planning my own wedding day like it was yesterday (okay just a few years ago). I LOVE planning, but it was easy to get overwhelmed with endless options and decisions to make. If you're looking for the right photographer for this once in a lifetime milestone, let me help see if I'm the perfect fit for you and the day of your dreams.

My name is Rae and I'm a creator of editorial, romantic, beautiful photographs. I've been photographing for 15 years and I love capturing wedding days the way they should be captured. What does that mean? Your images should showcase the moments that matter, the emotions that were felt, the people who showed up and the beauty of where you are.

My style is for free spirited people who believe in romance and love the look of natural light. Don't worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera, I guide you through every step of the way.

It's important to choose a wedding photographer who you can trust with your memories and moments that cannot be replicated. I have photographed hundreds of couples and events and know the ins and outs of how to get amazing images in every situation, every single time.

So focus on being in the moment and trust me to capture the rest. Contact me now about your once in a lifetime wedding day!

Amazing experience from start to finish!

Rae photographed my wedding and was so incredible to work with! We got along really well the day-of and I could tell that she had remembered all the little requests I had mentioned leading up to the wedding. I was so impressed by how professional she was (she even showed up early!) while keeping a relaxed and easygoing attitude that helped me stay relaxed on the wedding day. I could tell I was in great hands with her! Leading up to the wedding, Rae was always super responsive and after the wedding she sent photos incredibly quickly! I highly recommend working with her!

Perfect Alternative to a big wedding day!

Rae was simply amazing for our elopement this past year. She was beyond knowledgable about the island, lighting, and how to make sure we were comfortable taking photos. I was very nervous about missing those small moments but she captured everything that I could possibly want. I would recommend Rae for couples that want photos that will be timeless throughout the years.

Saved the day after changed wedding plans!

I want to scream from the rooftops how happy I was with hiring Rae for our small ceremony, so I think I will!! Dealing with Covid during our wedding day planning was such a huge letdown, as we wanted to have our friends and family with us for our wedding day.

Well things change, and we decided to go for a small beach elopement instead because we just wanted to be married. I didn't know where would be best, but Rae not only helped with choosing our location, but best time of day for lighting and knew the perfect officiant recommendation for us.

The photos came out beautiful and so quick too! I am amazed at how she managed to make me look good even when I get nervous about my arms, all while capturing what is meaningful to us. OMG what are you waiting for!

Beyond amazing

100/10 would absolutely recommend Rae!! My husband and I got married 6 years ago and never had profession photos done. My husband an anniversary session with Rae before we moved off island and they are my absolute favorite images ever. I have many of them hung in my house and a few blown up into poster size. Rae has such a special creative eye that you can’t find anywhere and she has a way of making you feel comfortable. You can feel the love between my husband and I when you look through our gallery and that’s something special. If I could give her a million stars I would. Hire her NOW. You will never regret it!

Professional and fun, and amazing results!

My husband and I decided to elope on the island of Oahu as a dream come true and were nervous about finding the perfect vendors when we hadn't been before. Rae not only gave us amazing photos we will cherish but helped plan our elopement with vendor tips, places we could get married on the beach and best time for the wedding day! I would recommend her to anyone coming to Hawaii for priceless memories!

If I could give Rae more than 5 stars, I would!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Rae!!! Absolutely 100/10!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My husband and I booked Rae for our Oahu destination wedding and out of all of our vendors, she was our absolute FAVORITE!! She is extremely talented, with an eye for detail and she really tells a story through her photos, which is why I chose her in the first place. Her photos are light and airy and truly capture the “Hawaii” feel that I was going for.

Rae was extremely prompt, organized, professional, and fun! Her banter kept us laughing and smiling (even when we were worn out from taking photos!) She kept us all on schedule and really helped calm me down when minor scheduling errors occurred reassuring me that she was there for us and everything would work out…and IT DID!

I know choosing a photographer for your wedding is really stressful, especially when it’s a destination wedding and you don’t have the opportunity to meet with your vendors beforehand. But Rae took all of that stress away. She sends out a very detailed questionnaire for the couple to fill out prior to your wedding day to make sure she knows exactly what you want captured and what expectations you both have. A lot of people skimp on a photographer for their wedding day and regret not spending the extra money to make sure their photos turn out excellent…

…I assure you if you book with Rae you will NOT regret it!

The quality that she provides is unprecedented and her second shooter did an amazing job as well! I could not have chosen a better, more qualified photographer to capture our special day. THANK YOU SO MUCH RAE!!!!

Perfect way to remember our Hawaii wedding!

My husband and I are so grateful we hired Rae for our wedding day this past October. We planned a destination wedding and were a little stressed out by not getting to see everything beforehand, but Rae was not only a great photographer, she also helped out with suggestions and planning for our day and recommending amazing locations and vendors. She is definitely worth the money for that alone but then we got our photos back and were amazed! Anyone should hire Rae for their photography needs in Hawaii!

I don’t know where to begin with Rae and her work! My hunny and I searched months long for an amazing wedding photographer, but couldn’t find one that had the quality, accuracy, and affordability at the same time. She definitely delivered way past our expectations, not to mention on how quick we received our images!! Most of my friends regret not paying a bit more for their images, and I promise you... YOU won’t be disappointed!! Thank you Rae, seriously!! We love our wedding pictures, and are so thankful we had you capture our special day!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Rae has captured my family numerous times and every single time I can’t believe how amazing she does! From her vision with wardrobe to location and then to capturing all of those special moments, she never comes short. I’m so excited for her to be capturing the renewal of our wedding vows this coming May as well! I highly recommend her for any type of session you may need!

Wow what amazing things I have to say about my experience with Rae. She was WONDERFUL to be around and I am so thankful she was our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. Her images turned out absolutely gorgeous and she had a second shooter available for the wedding day.

Out of all of the vendors I worked without throughout my planning process, she was my absolute favorite! I would highly recommend her for any special occasion (especially weddings).
