Top 5 I'm Rae, and I create poetic imagery from the beauty in our lives. I think love & connection is what matters most, and I photograph through that lens. I'm based in Raleigh, NC with my husband and two little boys, ages 5 and 2, who keep me in a constant state of wonder (with a splash of chaos). I've fallen completely head over heels for NYC and Hawaii. After 15 years of experience, my preferred approach blends an editorial style with fine art influences, ensuring that the results reflect your story. But I don't take the creation process too seriously, allowing space to play and just be yourselves. Creating art from reality is my favorite paint brush, because it just so simply IS with the right paint.

Anyone can take a picture, but Rae Marshall perfectly captures the magic of the moment through her photography. Rae's photos authentically showcased the essence of our wedding day, from the excitement of getting ready to that ‘just married’ feeling of bliss.
On top of that, Rae has an eye for amazing shots. We were absolutely blown away when we got the full album! Simply put, each photo felt like a work of art, both elevated and beautiful. She also did a great job of capturing the little details, our guests, décor, food and drink that we would have lost in the blur of the day. Additionally, finding a photographer that accurately captured shades and skin tones accurately was also very important to me, and Rae surpassed my expectations when it came to that!
All in all, Rae is a true gem. She made taking portraits comfortable and dare I say fun. You can tell she is passionate about her work, and she does a great job listening to what her clients are looking for when it comes to capturing the things that are important to them. After using her for both our engagement photos and wedding photography, I cannot sing her praises enough! Booking Rae was easily one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. We continue to get so many compliments on our photos, and I am so glad we will get to treasure these pictures forever.

Rae Marshall is truly one of our favorite photographers to work with! Not only does she capture our venue at a level that is unparalleled, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure the vendors and clients alike she works with get want they want and so much more!
Rae is amazing! She was so helpful leading up to our wedding, incredibly responsive and she even assisted reviewing and helping with our timeline for the day. Rae is professional and so sweet. We had some children at our wedding who she was absolutely great with and she was so adaptable. And the photos are all perfect!! Would highly recommend her for anyone getting married and in search of a photographer!
We cannot rave enough about Rae! Working with her has truly been the experience of a lifetime. From our adventure session in Wilmington, to our Wedding day in New Hill, she made sure everything was perfect! Rae is more than a photographer, she is a partner that we immediately knew we could confide in and trust with one life's most anticipated events. Thank you for helping bring out the authenticity in us and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We would LOVE LOVE LOVE to work with you again for other events and photography needs. We are so thoroughly impressed with Rae Marshall Photography and cannot recommend Rae and her team enough!
Thank you again for the most unforgettable memories!

My husband and I spent a ton of time and energy sifting through wedding vendors for our 2023 wedding, and I have to say, picking a photographer was probably the hardest decision for me. Trying to decide what aesthetic I wanted while taking vendor availability into account wasn’t an easy task (we planned our wedding in 7 months). I came across Rae’s profile on Instagram while looking through my venue’s profile and wondered why it was my first time hearing of her. Rae recently moved to NC after spending some time in Hawaii, which initially made me second guess her as my photographer. I’m not really sure why that made me hesitate, I guess in my head I thought the more familiar the person was with the area the better they would be? Totally wrong (like 200% wrong). Rae worked with me, very patiently, until I found a site for my engagement pictures that I loved. She was already familiar with my wedding venue which made me feel great. She also was a part of a styled shoot there that was absolutely breathtaking. That was definitely where my inclination to book her came from. My husband and I have taken professional pictures before but something was different with Rae. We both felt so comfortable in front of the camera and she was so easy-going, it made for such a great experience. As for the wedding photos, they were phenomenal. Like, P H E N O M E N A L. I’m not under-exaggerating one bit when I say that. She has this ability to capture the most perfect moments even in chaos. We had quite a few babies/children at our event and every single photo they were in, babies were smiling looking directly at her. If you have a baby or have tried taken photos of babies, you know that’s not an easy task. Rae was flexible and so quick to communicate with me. She will forever be a part of our wedding day and I think of her every time I see one of our beautiful photos. I’ve recommended her to SO many people. Future brides, moms, fiancés - whatever. Rae is your person. Book her now and thank me later. We love you Rae!!
We first met Rae when she did our engagement photos in Hawai'i, and we were utterly thrilled when she moved to North Carolina in time to shoot our wedding there. Both experiences were perfect. Rae is so easy to work with - her happy, enthusiastic style dissipated any potential awkwardness and helped us relax and enjoy the experience. Everyone we talked to afterwards had similar reactions - no matter how awkward they felt going in, Rae made them feel comfortable and excited.
During the wedding, she captured so many perfect moments, always nearby but never distracting or intruding. We got good photos of every single one of our wedding guests, something we didn't realize was even possible! We are absolutely delighted with our entire experience, and we would recommend Rae wholeheartedly to anyone!

Rae was a pleasure to work with. From the booking process to the finished products, everything was smooth and professional. We had some rain on our wedding day, but Rae managed to work through the challenges and even got some beautiful and creative shots. She was also very helpful in recommending some other vendors who helped with logistical challenges. 10/10 recommend!
Had an absolutely amazing experience with Rae. We hired her to do our wedding, as well as a family session and are so glad we did! Our photos came out beautifully and she was a breeze to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and told us exactly what to do. She was also a pro at keeping everyone in the group on track and paying attention, which was amazing! We could not be happier with our experience working with her, and the final products!
We chose Rae to take both our engagement and wedding photos. We are so glad we chose her! I am the most awkward person, and she was able to make me feel comfortable. It was also EXTREMELY windy, but she made it work (I’m still so impressed). She knew the best spots for our engagement pictures and all the spots at our wedding venue. We’re very thankful we had her as our photographer.
