YOUR EXPERIENCE

dallas-fortworth
wedding photographer

Over the years, I've had the privilege of capturing countless weddings, each one an opportunity to deepen my faith and refine my craft. Every moment—from the quiet prayer before the ceremony to the joyous departure in the getaway car—has taught me valuable lessons in both photography and the beauty of love. I approach every wedding with intention, treating each couple's journey as a sacred story to be preserved with grace and authenticity.

One of the greatest blessings I've experienced is the honor of praying a blessing over each bride right before she walks down the aisle. Whether she was a believer, an atheist, or holds different beliefs, every single bride has expressed gratitude for that moment of prayer. I treasure these opportunities to minister in this way, as I get to cover her in prayer before one of the most important moments of her life. My goal is to be your trusted guide through every step of the planning process, sharing the insights and wisdom I've gained over the years. Together, we’ll create a wedding experience that is seamless, memorable, and filled with the presence of God’s love.

The Rae De Lain Experience

"She is just an exceptional photographer and amazing person."

She truly cares about the people she works with, taking the time to ask about their stories and the love that connects them. It’s so inspiring how she uses those personal details to create meaningful and unique ideas for her photography. Her authenticity and passion shine through in every shot. As an artist myself, I can feel how much heart she pours into her work.

"My husband and I have truly had the best experience with Rae."

She is so fun and full of joy and really loves what she does. I am insecure with my looks and she really knew how to make me feel confident and bring out the best in us. I can not wait to work with her again! I would trust her for any big event to capture life's beautiful moments to enjoy for years to come.

"We trust Rae De Lain Weddings to capture our photos anytime!"

She is enthusiastic and fun. My wife truly felt beautiful and Rae hyped us up the entire time. She also focused on both of us and not just my wife. She captured amazing shots of us and I thank you for that. We hope to work with you again soon. Keep up what you are doing! You are talented and know exactly how to make everyone around you shine!
