MISS ADDY RAE!!!!!!!! We absolutely loved working with Addy. She is a GEM of a human and made our engagement shoot, night before dinner and entire wedding day so much fun. Addy bri...
ngs the vibes and energy. She keeps everyone on track and does it in the most fun way. You spend your entire day with your photographer, and there is no one else we would’ve rather had! She is so special to us. Her work is INCREDIBLE. She made us feel so comfortable and captured all of the inspiration pictures we wanted without us even having to ask. Within 36 hours we had close to 200 previews of our night before and wedding day and… they’re iconic. We were blown away and cannot wait to get the remainder of our photos in 7 weeks! If you don’t have a photographer yet, do yourself a favor and book Addy!
Addy is a 11/10! I interviewed 10+ photographers for my wedding. I knew the look and feel I wanted my wedding photos to have long after the wedding was over. I knew I wanted to ...
feel moments and not have photos that felt staged, so I could be taken back to that day with a quick glance. Addy understands just that! She captures the beauty of spaces and environments, she captures color and she captures moments to last a lifetime. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She is the true definition of under-promising and over-delivering. Addy is an incredibly a hard worker and you can feel the love she has for her work. She never sweats, she’s calm, collected and most of all, very cool. I dream of working with her again someday!
Do yourself a favor and hire Addy as your photographer!! She was truly AMAZING! Our wedding photos are unbelievable. They capture the essence of the whole day and we cannot say eno...
ugh good things! Addy is so friendly, easy to work with and a true professional! Her ability to envision the shot, use lighting and capture details to bring to life the most beautiful moments of the day was amazing! Our wedding pictures capture the timeless, elegant feel we were hoping for with our wedding and it is all because of Addy and her team! I can stare at the photos all day! Addy, thank you, thank you thank you for everything!
DEFINITELY hire Addy! She came recommended by my wedding planner and I could not have been happier to spend so much time with her on our special day! She was thoughtful, honest, ki...
nd, and fun. I loved her laid back attitude it put us at ease on what can be a stressful day. We great pics with our pup and getting through family portraits was even easy (saying a lot for our crazy families). After seeing our sneak peaks and pictures of other weddings she has done- her detailed shots and bright airy photos look like they belong in a magazine. I can't wait to see the rest of the night captured in her eye!
I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Addy Rae & her amazing team!! I found Addy through Instagram (love a good #filmhashtag) and I was instantly drawn to how beautiful, na...
tural and candid the photos looked. I was planning my wedding from across the country and was a little late to the game with booking vendors. It was such a blessing Addy was still available and I booked her right after the first call.
The irony of it all is I am also a wedding planner - so I really know the importance of a good wedding photographer. To be a good wedding photographer you need to … of course take great photos… but also understand the family dynamics, timeline, vibe of the B&G, roll with weather and timing hiccups and so much more. Addy & her team perfectly executed the evening.
Addy and her team showed up and were so professional, kind and just an amazing extension of the evening. My family and friends can’t stop talking about how Addy and her team just were so natural, kind and really understood what we were looking for.
When I got the photos in my Inbox I instantly cried.. and trust me I have seen countless wedding albums. It was amazing to see how beautiful the pictures came out. They were so natural and candid - exactly what we wanted. My favorite part is how not only the photos of us turned out but also our guests. They captured the happiness of everybody and it makes me so happy!!
Addy & her team truly made our wedding and I can’t thank y’all enough!!
ADDY!! Addy was the first vendor I booked all the way back in 2019 and it was love at first coffee. We met at a coffee shop and instantly connected. She is the sweetest, funniest m...
ost talented photographer! I was already in love with her photos and her style of editing but meeting her I quickly knew that she was who I wanted to capture my special day. My husband was nervous during our engagement shoot and she easily made him feel less awkward and the photos were beautiful! Addy was also very flexible and accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding because of covid. We then used her for a fall shoot for our family with our new puppy! Leading up to the wedding Addy was so organized and responsive emailing me to finalize our timeline and shot list. Then our Wedding day finally came 11.6.21 and Addy and her second shooter Lexi were INCREDIBLE! The day went by so quick but Addy always kept us on track and we actually got to enjoy and mingle during cocktail hour! The hotel room that the girls were getting ready in was dated but Addy quickly scouted a beautiful secluded place within the hotel with lots of natural light for me to have pictures getting ready in and let me tell you they are STUNNING!! From the Church to the reception and everything in between Addy was amazing, I was so sad when I realized it was time for her to leave! Not only two days later Addy already had sneak peaks back to me that left me speechless. The photos are beyond beautiful and truly capture how happy my husband and I were the entire day. Addy THANK YOU for capturing our special day. You are so incredibly talented! Ryan and I can not wait to use you for every photography need in the future. I am so thankful to have met you through the wedding planning process. Brides do yourself a favor and book Addy Rae as your photographer! It will be the best decision you ever make!!
What originally drew me to Addy's work was the ethereal way she seemed to capture her couples, almost as if they were floating through their big days. After working with Addy now, ...
for what seems like forever, (engagement shoot, micro wedding, and bigger wedding reception) her incredible talent is but one of the many things that I love about her. Addy was a dream to work with, making my extremely stressful and at times disappointing (the disastrous effects of being a COVID19 bride) wedding planning experience fun and exciting. Addy graciously pivoted with us through different venues, two different days and the coldest, rainiest Memorial Day Weekend weather since 1947. The photos from everything she has done with us are exceptional and capture us so perfectly. We are so grateful that we found such a talented photographer and incredible woman to be a part of our story. I joke that I have bullied Addy into becoming my friend and I very much look forward to many other important moments that she will capture for my family!
We love ADDY RAE….so much so that I talked my sister-in-law into using her for her wedding too! Addy’s photos are so beautiful and she has such a talent for working with natural li...
ghting and brightening photos without making them look too washed out. I used Addy for my engagement photos, my COVID wedding (church only), and for my 2nd COVID wedding that included a lot more people and a reception! She has consistently given us sneak peeks within several days of taking our pictures and her website is very user friendly and allows you to share albums with family and friends! I will definitely use Addy again in the future for other events and photo shoots! Addy made my husband and I feel very comfortable during our engagement photos/wedding and she was very professional and down to earth. You can tell she has such a passion for what she does and is not afraid to stray for her original vision if something else catches her eye! She is also great at capturing authentic, candid moments and her photos show it! I cannot recommend her enough!
Addy's photography skills are SO incredible. She captures everything beautifully -- from all the small details to the big events of the night. All the photos are absolutely stunnin...
g. Addy is very professional, and knows how to keep a timeline to ensure we get all the pictures we want. Her communication skills throughout planning are also key. If you are searching for a wedding photographer, stop now and book Addy immediately.
Addy was AMAZING throughout the whole entire wedding process. From our engagement shoot, to the communication in between, and to the actual wedding day. She has been nothing but k...
ind, patient and professional. Getting our pictures taken was a breeze cause she was so easy going and was down to collaborate ideas with us. She’s the true star in making sure we get the perfect shot! I have nothing but great things to say about Addy and am so grateful to find such a gem!
We used Addy Rae Photography for our engagement shoot photos and I could not be any happier. Addy is kind and laid back, making the experience relaxing and fun! We went to the Phi...
ladelphia art museum where we got to take such awesome spring photos. I would highly recommend working with Addy!
Addy was a dream to work with! Addy communicated with us extensively to understand our vision and worked with us to craft a plan and timeline ahead of time. Addy was very flexible ...
with our somewhat hectic day, which included travel between the hotel, reception venue, and church. Addy helped to make the wedding day stress free by keeping us moving efficiently and even ahead of schedule for most of it! Addy was also great about providing us with specific directions for poses.
We are so happy with the beautiful quality of all of our photos and album. Addy’s use of film is so special and adds an amazing component to the full set. Addy provided us sneak peaks within days of our wedding and was very communicative and regarding when to expect the full set of photos.
Overall Addy gave us so many beautiful memories of our day that I know we will treasure for years to come. I have already recommended her to my own friends!
I cannot overstate how wonderful Addy has been to work with and how happy I am to have had her capture our engagement and wedding over the past few years. After falling in love wit...
h her Instagram, we booked Addy for our wedding planned for May 2020 way back in the fall of 2018, and had a wonderful engagement shoot in spring 2019. Any uncertainty I had about feeling uncomfortable or rushed during our wedding photos were fully eased on that day. We had a great time and the photos were GORGEOUS. Addy encouraged us to include our dog in the shoot, and I will cherish those beautiful photos forever.
When we had to postpone our May 2020 wedding due to Covid, Addy was so flexible with us as we went through multiple date changes. Ultimately, we had a micro-wedding in June 2020, which Addy captured beautifully and safely. I am so grateful to Addy for her adaptability and for making that day feel so special, even though it was not what we had originally envisioned for our wedding. It truly felt like we had a friend with us photographing our wedding, allowing us to feel completely relaxed, while efficiently getting through plenty of beautiful posed shots and candids.
I cannot recommend Addy enough, and I only hope that we have the chance to work with her again in the future!
Addy’s talent in photography and passion for what she creates is truly outstanding! Five stars doesn’t do her justice! She guided us through our engagement shoot effortlessly, to c...
apture our love at our favorite place! On our wedding day, Addy captured all the small details and candids that allow us to reminisce on our day for years to come. Her work is incredible!! Addy is fun, laid back, organized and most importantly, extremely professional! She is truly the best and we are so grateful that Addy was part of our special day!! We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and we could not wait to display them all over our home! We can’t thank her enough for capturing this exciting chapter in our lives ; we look forward to cherishing them forever!
Addy was AMAZING to work with (so was Barry!). From start to finish she was professional, flexible, and FUN to have around on our big day.
My husband and I are both very uncomfort...
able in front of the camera and our biggest fear was that our pictures were going to look awkward and tacky. We searched for a photographer whose portfolio we liked for weeks before our friend recommended Addy, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Our vibe was to capture the event as it happened so that we could see and remember all the small moments that we might have missed in the whirlwind of the wedding, and we asked Addy to get a lot of candids, but she also expertly planned our “posed ” shots to look natural and classy.
She was so willing to be flexible to our preferences (and managed to fit in all the shots we wanted WITHOUT a first look and we STILL had time to make it to part of cocktail hour) but she didn’t let us completely run the show without giving us her expert opinion. We were really grateful for this because we felt like that’s what we were paying her for, but she never made us feel pressured to do things her way. It was her first time shooting at our venue and she scoped our the most gorgeous backgrounds and had an eye for detail in every shot. I can’t emphasize enough what a pleasure it was to work with Addy- she was 100% reliable and made our day better by being there. Now we have so many amazing photos that bring smiles to our faces every time we look at them because we really are transported in time back to the moments she captured.
Addy is AWESOME! She's photographed quit a bit for my family and I. She's so good at what she does, and you can tell she loves it by the quality of her work. She makes the exper...
ience fun and easy. She's professional, and makes you feel comfortable through what can sometimes feel a little awkward. All the while going the extra mile to make your experience and photos turn out perfect. Our photographer for life!! Book Addy, you won't be disappointed!
If I could give 10 stars I would— she is by far the best photographer out there! Not only is the quality of her work AMAZING but she always goes over the top in every way possible....
When looking for a photographer—- I was super picky because it was one of the most important things for me. As soon as we talked to Addy, I knew she was the one for us— and boy was I right! Anytime I had a question like what to wear for the engagement shoot, scheduling concerns at the wedding, etc. she always had the best options or advice— which is exactly what you need as a stressed bride. Addy was super professional and always made us feel super special throughout the whole entire process. On top of that, working with her was super easy. She had a way of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera so it was never awkward taking photos. All in all— if you are looking for an INCREDIBLE photographer that is SUPER responsive, organized, TALENTED, and professional— you should 100% book with Addy!
Addy is the best photographer ever!! We use her for everything. Her photos are absolutely stunning and so, so beautifully capture the personalities of her subjects and the feeling ...
of the events she photographs. Not only is her work to die for, she is extremely organized and professional. She’s also fun to be around! As a bride or groom, you spend a huge amount of time on your wedding day with your photographer, so it’s important to find someone who you connect with. Addy is the kind of person who you immediately feel comfortable around; she’s super sweet and funny but also knows how to take charge of a situation so that you get the results you want without having to boss your friends and family around. You also have so much on your plate, it’s amazing to not have to worry about your photos because you trust your photographer. We have also used Addy for family photos and newborn photos. She can do it all!!! Cannot rave about her enough!!!
Addy is incredible! Her photography captures the essence of the people in the picture. She is always open to new ideas and makes sure you’re happy with the final product. There’s n...
o one else I’d want to capture some of the most special moments in life.

would be a perfect engagement photographer. I set up an engagement session with Addy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the final product! Addy was very responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. Addy took the time to understand what we envisioned in our engagement shoot, and made our vision better than what we expected! The photos came out amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! We highly recommend Addy as a wedding and engagement photographer!
