The heart of my work lies in building genuine connections with my couples. When you feel understood and trust your photographer, the entire experience shifts; you can relax, be fully present, and simply enjoy the day.
For more than a decade, I’ve approached weddings this way, stepping into the celebration as a familiar presence rather than just another vendor.
That connection changes everything. It creates trust, it allows real emotion to unfold naturally, and it’s the secret to images that feel effortless and true to you.

Trust Me
My style is rooted in creating vibrant, true-to-color images that reflect the beauty and emotion of your wedding exactly as you experienced it. I use a blend of traditional, editorial, and documentary photography to tell a complete story of your day.
Capturing timeless portraits, artistic details, and those candid, unplanned moments that mean the most. Throughout the day, I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts and posing so you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, while also stepping back to let the authentic moments unfold.
The result is a wedding gallery that feels natural, elegant, and filled with genuine moments you’ll relive for years to come.

Working with Aubrey Rae was an excellent experience! Leading up to our wedding, she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with schedules and timelines. On the day itself, we faced terrible weather, but Aubrey Rae stayed encouraging, flexible, and positive. Reassuring us the photos would still turn out beautifully despite the rain. She delivered everything she promised, and I would highly recommend her to any future couples
