HELLO Hello!

I’m Rae, the creative behind the lens at Rae Louise Photography. My journey into photography began just after I finished university. A friend was launching her fashion brand and knew I had dabbled in photography before, so she said, “You can do it.” And I did! I remember coming out of that experience feeling like I’d finally found my thing. Then one thing led to another, I started photographing weddings while simultaneously working for an agency in Sydney before I finally took the leap of faith and went all in on my own business.

Being located just an hour from the Hunter Valley, It just made sense to be a part of capturing people’s special days. I now photograph weddings across Australia, bringing a laid-back, go-with-the-flow vibe and warm, true-to-colour images. I’m an outdoors girl who loves natural light, but I’ll happily whip out my flash for dramatic or fun moments.

Expect a little goofiness on your wedding day. I work hard and party harder, all to make you feel relaxed, confident and utterly yourselves. I also shoot beyond weddings, personal branding for entrepreneurs, family sessions, maternity & couples sessions, and model/fashion work. you’ll get the Same friendly, natural approach and attention to detail but just with different outfits and slightly different levels of confetti.

“Ohhhhh loveeeeee you’re magic thank you xxx.”

“oooo this was a nice treat to wake up to! Guyyyyyys!!! They’re actually better than I could’ve ever dreamed! i love them!”

“Look I know I’m biased…but this is the best wedding picture of all wedding pictures i haver ever seen. also that confetti is a paid actor.”

- Emily & Hayden, sydney
