    So amazing!!

    They were absolutely amazing! Not only did the pictures turn out so gorgeous, they were so helpful throughout the day with things that didn’t involve taking pictures (helping the bride get food, getting people’s attention, etc). It was a wonderful day made even better with them being there. I can’t recommend them enough!!

    Overall AMAZING experience

    Honestly have delayed writing this review because putting everything about Raelani and Scott into words is overwhelming! We had such an amazing experience having them photograph our wedding! The whole process was so easy and seamless from the beginning. Their email and scheduling system makes it easy to schedule a call if you need to chat and their payment system makes paying for their services a breeze.

    Rae and Scott are so warm, kind and hilarious. They’re the kind of people that you wish you could be best friends with. I wish we were getting married again just so we could hang out with them. 😂

    Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous and will be treasured forever. If there’s one thing to invest in, it’s the photography for your wedding. We can’t recommend them enough. ♥️

    The Stockwell's are the BEST!

    Raelani and Scott are the best. PERIOD. From our engagement session to the wedding day - our pictures were perfection. They made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and always reminded us to stay in the moment! Not to mention they brought us drinks and apps to us after our ceremony. They truly put you first and help make your day perfect and stress free.

    Best photographer ever!!

    Raelani & Scott went above and beyond our photography expectations. Not only did our engagement and wedding photos turn out better than we could’ve imagined, they were so much fun to spend our day with! Raelani is extremely quick to respond, her personality is calm, cool, and collected while also giving me ‘sister vibes’ of fluffing my dress, fixing my veil, talking me through any wedding mishaps, and keeping me and my husband focused on each other and having fun on our big day! I would HIGHLY recommend Rae for any photography needs- she is the best in the business!!

    So happy we had Raelani & Scott for our wedding!

    I seriously cannot think of enough ways to thank Raelani & Scott for capturing our day SO perfectly, even down to the small details like myself and my group of friends scream singing. Those photos are so good that you can basically tell what lyrics we are singing.
    A few compliments I've gotten on the photos so far:
    "Ilove your photographer, she absolutely killed it" - our best man
    "She killed it" - my coworker
    "loved looking through them. It was like living the day all over again" - bridesmaid
    "Thank you for capturing my daughter's day so perfectly " - mother of the bride
    Honestly, if you are even thinking of booking Raelani and Scott, just do it. It was one of the best decisions I could've made for our wedding.

    5 Star Photography

    We are so glad we chose Raelani and Scott to photograph our wedding day! From the initial meeting with Raelani, we knew she would be a good fit for us. She’s easygoing and fun which is so important when choosing someone to spend your whole wedding day with! Doing our engagement photos with her was great too, because it allowed us to get a feel for how she worked and how our personalities meshed. Both Raelani and Scott were super professional and knowledgeable, knowing which backgrounds, poses, and setups would make for the best photos. They made the day flow so easily and worked with us on our timeline as well. Throughout the whole process, Raelani was available via text or call and always responded quickly which is huge for a stressed out bride. We absolutely love how our photos turned out and can’t recommend Raelani and Scott enough!

    The BEST experience!!

    My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Raelani & Scott! From our very first online meeting with Raelani, we immediately got the best vibe from her. She was so fun to talk to and plan with throughout the days leading up to our wedding! Once we met both her and Scott in person, we both knew picking them as our photographers was the right choice. On our big day they were both on time, so helpful, trusting, and great to work with! Raelani helped me stay grounded and relaxed during any moment that didn’t go as planned on the wedding day… I truly couldn’t have done it without her. They both knew exactly what they were doing when it came to poses, locations for photos, and most importantly they took the time to meet both of our needs the ENTIRE day. They helped us stay on track as possible with our wedding timeline, and checked in on us frequently throughout the day to see how we were doing, and if we needed anything. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. We could even tell our bridal party loved working with them during our bridal party photos! I HIGHLY recommend working with Raelani & Scott for all of your special moments you want to capture in life!!

    Best decision ever.

    We recently had the joy of working with Raelani and Scott when they photographed our wedding day in Queens, NY. Nearly every day since, we have said to each other how thankful we are to have hired Raelani and how perfect she and Scott made our day. We were initially very drawn to the way Raelani takes and edits photographs, and the mood, romance, and story telling she is able to convey through images. The results from our initial photos have even exceeded our expectations. Our preview photos have been the greatest photos we have ever had the pleasure of being in, and to say that we are excited to see the rest is a huge understatement. Raelani and Scott were pillars of support on the day of the wedding, acting with 100% professionalism, but also enough casual friendliness to put us, our wedding party, family and guests all at ease. We are so honored to have had them be a part of and document the best day of our lives. We highly, emphatically, passionately recommend hiring Raelani Stockwell Photography.

    Cannot recommend enough

    Raelani and Scott were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them enough. They brought incredible energy to our day and made us feel so relaxed with their great organizing and coordinating skills. Not to mention, they are very funny and easy to get along with. In addition to taking creative and beautiful photos, they wore many other hats. Raelani made sure we were following the time line and was also very flexible with any last minute requests. She was with me for most of the day and provided emotional support during many parts. My husband and I felt very comfortable in their hands. Their pictures captured the love and joy we felt that day. Highly recommend!!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I cannot recommend Raelani and Scott enough. My husband and I are not typically comfortable in front of the camera, and were very nervous about being able to get good photos for our engagement shoot and wedding day. That anxiety went away the moment we started our first shoot with Raelani and Scott. They made every aspect of the experience fun and easy, and took so much stress out of our wedding planning. Raelani is the ultimate hype woman. If you want someone to make you feel amazing about yourself while also keeping your wedding day seemingly effortlessly on schedule, she's your girl. The end result speaks for itself. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to work with the Stockwell's, and we are hopeful we will again someday!

    I am in absolute AWE

    There are simply not enough great things I can say about them. I had met them 2 years ago when my fiancé & I had first gotten engaged at a bridal expo, and their energy was radiant - there was no question about it. Our bridal shower pictures turned out amazing. The day of our wedding was even better. They are great at calming nerves and offering guidance and over all making you super comfortable. We felt as ease and as if we have been friends with them for a while. Our sneak peeks were truly amazing and I can't wait to see the rest. Their work truly is M A G I C A L.

    Amazing and stress free!

    Raelani and Scott did an excellent job capturing our wedding! They were amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make our wedding day pictures absolutely perfect! We absolutely love our wedding album and will enjoy it for years to come! We highly recommend Raelani and Scott for you wedding or any special event! They are the best!

    We had a P A R T Y

    I knew we picked the right photographer when Rae did our engagement photos. It poured rain the whole day, finally broke for the evening. She asked if we wanted to reschedule but we just went with the flow and they turned out beautiful. The same went for our wedding, talk about a wind storm. She keeps you calm and focuses on you. She doesn't let family or friends take over. She and her husband are a dream team in itself. They are willing to travel, attentive to emails. Taking pictures in front of strangers while kissing can be uncomfortable, but after a few moments you all get into a groove and it just works! If you love those candid shots she is definitely someone to put on your dream team!!

    Rae and Scott are awesome!

    Raelani and Scott have been so amazing to work with! We had them for our camping engagement session + wedding and I worked with Rae for my boudoir shoot as well. Every step of the way they were down for whatever we envisioned for our photos. When our big wedding turned into a small Covid-modified elopement, they were so flexible about making it work! They helped with everything from making sure we got where we needed to be right down to my hair and makeup details. Their laid back nature made the day so much better and having them both so we could have someone work with each of us was perfect. Anytime we need photos in the future we will be giving them a call & we would definitely recommend them to anyone!

    Great to work with and Great Photos

    Raelani and Scott were the photographers at our wedding on May 18th. We HIGHLY recommend them! They were super easy to work with, and stepped up not only as photographers but also as pseudo wedding planners too. Rae and Scott were ready to do whatever needed to be done to make sure that we had the perfect day! Rae even had to sew me into my dress when the hook popped! We received our pictures in a timely manner during the super busy wedding season and they are GORGEOUS! Definitely recommend!

    Raelani and her husband photographed our wedding in early November. They were such a pleasure to work with! So flexible and caring about what we wanted photographed and relaxed! Always willing to answer questions and bend over backwards for what we wanted shot. Not only were they relaxed and helpful, but hilarious as well! They are a blast to be around and would make any day entertaining.

    I highly recommend for future brides and grooms when booking for their wedding. Prices were so reasonable and both are knowledgeable in the field and what is best for shots, poses, etc.


    Such a wonderful addition to our day, couldn’t imagine it without them there.

    Our wedding was a week ago and Raelani and Scott photographed our whole day! They did an amazing job. Raelani artistic eye is impeccable and I can't wait to see the full album (she gave us a sneak peek the morning after!) She helped me through the emotional up and downs throughout the day. Raelani even assisted with a last minute lipstick change and filling in my makeup after the ceremony after I blew my nose.

    They both are extremely personable and able to corral an entire wedding part of 18. From the engagement photos we did last year through the wedding day she always responded quickly and was very accommodating. Scott had a great time with the guys and it was well worth it to have 2 photographer to not miss a single moment.

    I would strongly encourage anyone to use this dynamic team to photograph any special event in your life!

    Raelani and Scott were beyond awesome! Professional but laid back and ever so patience. Raelani continued to reassure me that she was there for me and there to help me with whatever I needed. My wedding party could not stop complimenting on how awesome they were. My photos are exactly what I wanted and more. I can’t thank them enough.

    Raelani & scott. where do I even start? They are AMAZING. Raelani is the absolute best! I am a young bride and she was the ONLY vendor that took my husband & I seriously. Her service is something I never will ever forget, multiple times she checked to make sure I was ok! On that day she was so much more then just my wedding photographer. Not to mention how much of a blast realain & Scott are! My pictures are AMAZING, super flexible team that work so well together. I could not be happier that I picked her. I could not imagine my big day with any other team, I will forever recommend them to ANY bride that is asking.
