The Michelle Rae Photography Experience
I'LL BE ALL IN ON YOUR DAY
I will keep you on schedule, encourage you to eat and drink, and make sure you are enjoying your big day. Your wedding day is meant to be enjoyed through every second. It is going to feel like such a blur, so much happens on big days. and I will be there to capture it all.
THROUGH EVERY MOMENT
I will capture candid moments, and laughter just so you can see the things that happened when you weren't even looking. Later when you receive your gallery all the emotions and joy from the day gets to be relived through these photographs.
AND EVERY EMOTION
Get in touch with me! Let's chat about your wedding day plans and ideas. Once you have sent through an inquiry to me I will respond back in 1 to 2 business days. From there we can set a time to chat on the phone or meet in person and get a coffee.
It is so important you find the right photographer for your wedding day. We can chat, get to know each other and get a good idea if we are the right fit. Once we know, we can get your date in my calendar and start planning.

One of the fun parts of some of my wedding packages is I include a complimentary engagement session. It is the perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other even better. We can work together, I get to help you both feel comfortable with me and in front of the camera, while you get to be your stunning selves and be awesome,
It really helps couples prepare for their wedding day and get to meet me one more time before the big day.
Your Engagement Session
Step 2 of 5
During the months leading up to your wedding feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I am here to help you in whatever capacity I can.
About 6 to 8 weeks before your wedding day, you will receive a couple of questionnaires. These are great tools for me to get a better idea of what to expect on your big day. What your priorities are, special details I may need to know and most importantly, your timeline. All details that help me make sure your day is as great as it can be. and captured in timeless photos.
Keeping In Touch

The day has finally arrived! How exciting!!
I would have contacted you the day or two before to finalize all the little things. Today you are supposed to enjoy every moment and be as present as you can. I will guide you and go with the flow. I will keep things as on time as possible, work with all your other vendors and ensure your day is the way you need. I am going to have so much fun photographing you, your family, and your guests.
These photos are a valuable take away from the day and I am always so honored to get to give that to you.
Your Wedding Day

The day over, now it is time to enjoy your newly married bliss. While you are settling into your new married life or away on a honeymoon, I will be working on your photographs.

The Investment Details
We hired Michelle to be our wedding photographer, and we couldn't have made a better decision. Not only did she take her time to really get to know us and make us comfortable, but she was able to guide us through the chaos of getting married and getting all the appropriate photos. She really went above and beyond and we are so in love with our wedding photos. We WILL be using Michelle again for any future events we have or if our family grows.

We've had Michelle do a few photo shoots for us, and every time I am blown away by the talent this woman has. She has the ability to turn something very uncomfortable and awkward, into something incredibly carefree and comfortable. Michelle is just a beautiful person both inside and out. Highly recommend!

For all my big life events I have used Michelle Rae Photography. From my engagement to my wedding and the birth of my first children. Michelle is professional, helpful and just an overall sweetheart. My son was not exactly willing to cooperate for his newborn photos and Michelle spent hours calmly trying to make it work and the end result was prefect. My family will always use life's depictions for our future family milestones.

I would totally recommend Michelle for your newborn and family photos. She did an amazing job with our photos. She was so accommodating, very good at communicating and she was so good with our newborn Audrey. She did an amazing job with all the photos and had a lot of props too. Thanks Michelle!!
