Every bride receives a ‘Good morning, my beautiful bride’ text from me on her wedding day. Why? Because I don’t just show up to take photos—I show up to celebrate you. Today is yours—the day you’ve dreamed of, planned for, and poured your heart into. It’s the day your love story takes center stage, and every glance, every laugh, every tear is meant to be savored. My text is a gentle reminder to release every worry, breathe deeply, and step fully into the joy and magic of this once-in-a-lifetime day. My role is to protect your happiness, champion your covenant, and make sure you truly have fun while celebrating the love you’ve been waiting for.
I’m Rae, a fine art wedding photographer serving the Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco areas. My joy is to capture the covenant you’re stepping into, the love you share, and the laughter that makes it unforgettable. I blend digital and film photography to craft timeless, heirloom-quality images, each collection including a beautifully designed album to preserve your story for generations.
With over a decade of experience, I approach every wedding with intention, grace, and a heart for storytelling. I want you to feel fully present on your day, confident that every glance, every laugh, and every tear is being captured with care, artistry, and faith at the center.
If you’re looking for wedding portraits that feel effortless, elegant, and deeply meaningful, crafted with heart and intention, you’ve come to the right place. I’d be honored to preserve your love story as a timeless legacy.
