JUST A FEW BASIC ‘NEED TO KNOW’ FACTS ABOUT WHO YOU’LL BE HANGING OUT WITH ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.

Hey, I’m Rae (Rae Rae to my friends) 🤍

I’m a wedding photographer, ocean lover, and part-time dance floor enthusiast based in Exmouth.

I spent 15 years down south in Dunsborough and Yallingup before the Ningaloo reef lured me up north. Big skies, warm water, and a slower coastal pace I can’t get enough of.

These days I split my time between Exmouth and the South West, still shooting a lot in Perth, Fremantle and down south. So don’t stress, I’m always happy to make the trip.

I only take on a limited number of weddings each year so I don’t burn out and turn into a zombie with a camera… and so I can actually show up fully for you and your day.

Honestly, I’m still blown away that I get to do this.

I get to hang out with you and your favourite people, laugh a lot, probably cry at some point (still happens every time), and capture it all as it actually feels.

And yes… I will end up on the dance floor. It’s basically part of the service at this point.

✨ MY STYLE

I shoot in a relaxed, candid way - nothing too posed or overdone.

It’s really important to me that we feel comfortable around each other, because that’s when the good stuff happens. (A pre-wedding session with a beer or red usually helps 😄)

I focus on the connection between you two and the people you’ve chosen to share the day with.

The real, raw, slightly chaotic, in-between moments… that’s what matters.

I’m not here to stage anything or make it feel forced. This is your story, and I want to capture it as it actually unfolds.

Just you two, being yourselves, whatever that looks like.

✨ MY PEOPLE

The non-traditional ones.

The ones who do things their own way and don’t feel the need to follow the rules.

Barefoot at the altar, wind in your hair, maybe running a little late… perfect.

The ones who care more about being with their people than sticking to a timeline.

The dance floor lovers. The backyard weddings. The elopers. The party starters.

(And yes… bonus points if there’s a champas or espresso martini involved 😄)

The ones who want their day to actually feel like them.

A bit chaotic, a bit emotional, a lot of love.

No strict shot lists. No forced moments. Just everything unfolding as it should.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the details or what’s trending. It’s about your people, your connection, and how it all felt.

Those are the photos you’ll come back to in 20 years.

And that’s what I’m there to capture.

✨ LET’S DO THIS

If this feels like your kind of vibe, I’d absolutely love to hear what you’re planning.

No pressure at all, just send me a message and we’ll see if we’re a good fit 🤍

✨ TRAVEL.

My feet are constantly itchy and being able to fuse my love of travel together with photography makes me the luckiest girl on the planet so I'll definitely throw in some epic little incentive to help make it much more affordable for you. Please email me at rae@raemarie.com.au with your ideas or plans and let's make this happen.

I've been lucky enough to have flown to the US, Bali, Noosa, Melbourne & Newcastle to photograph weddings.
