Behind The Lens

I’m Rae, a born-and-raised New Yorker 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’m also a proud mom of six amazing kids and grandmother to three precious grandchildren. Life has shaped me in ways that deepen my appreciation for love, family, and legacy. I’m a widow, and through faith and resilience, I’ve found purpose in capturing the sacred moments that tell your unique love story.

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but that’s where I come in. With over a decade of experience, I have a heart for storytelling and an eye for timeless romance. I’ll capture every fleeting moment so you can fully soak in the love, laughter, and legacy you’re creating.

At Rae De Lain, I blend digital and film to craft heirloom-quality images—each collection includes a beautifully designed heirloom album to preserve your story for generations. Rooted in my faith as a Messianic Jewish believer, I bring intention, grace, and warmth to every wedding I photograph.

A few fun things about me: I adore the colors white and green, dream of owning a G-Wagon one day, and I’m secretly planning my future wedding—just waiting on the right spouse! These joys and dreams fuel my passion for celebrating love in all its beauty and depth.

If you want wedding portraits that feel effortless, elegant, and deeply meaningful, crafted with heart and faith, you’ve come to the right place. I’d be honored to preserve your love story as a timeless legacy.
