Behind The Lens
I’m Rae, a born-and-raised NYC girl who found her heart in the South. The city gave me grit, but the South taught me grace—where I learned the beauty of Southern hospitality and what it truly means to be a Southern belle.
I know planning a wedding can feel like a whirlwind—will the day be as magical as you’ve dreamed? That’s where I come in. With a heart for storytelling and an eye for timeless romance, I’ll capture every fleeting moment so you can soak in the love, laughter, and legacy you’re creating.
At Rae De Lain, we document love through a fine art lens, blending digital and film to craft heirloom imagery that reads like a love letter—soft, intimate, and everlasting. Rooted in faith and light, every frame is a tribute to the sacredness of your vows and the depth of your love.
If you long for wedding portraits that feel effortless, refined, and deeply meaningful, you’re in the right place. Your love story is a testament to Yeshua’s love, and I’d be honored to preserve it for generations to come.
I believe
I believe in the simple joys that make life meaningful—like the dream of sitting on a front porch with a glass of sweet tea in hand, a vision that holds a special place in my heart. Sabbaths are my favorite, a time to rest, reflect, and savor a glass of wine while embracing the blessings around me. My sanctuary isn’t by the water but at my computer, where I find joy in editing love stories and turning happiness into something timeless. There’s something sacred about preserving memories, and heirloom albums are treasures I adore creating for brides, ensuring their love story lives on for generations. While life slows down on Saturdays for my family, Sunday afternoons are for recharging, dreaming, and preparing for what’s next.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord and not for men"
Colossians 3:23
