Calypso Rae Photography

ring so many special moments. Her eye for detail and her willingness to brave wind,rain and weeds to get us amazing photos on a rainy day made for fun memories and phenomenal pictures. She was an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding and her photos speak for themselves. I cannot recommend her highly enough. So glad that we happened to find her in an online Google search and took the chance to see if she could work up a package that fit our needs and budget and that incorporated what we hoped to capture forever.

Caly's eye for detail is fantastic and she captured not only the images of our day, but the total aesthetic and vibe. Basically, just book her. You can't find a better photographer.

nding it hard to throw out any! So many moments we didn't even realize she caught, that were so close to our heart, showed up later in the photos. In the hustle and bustle of the day, she was great under pressure and gave us just the right amount of structure to make sure we got what we wanted in our photos and still let us be in the moment. The transactional piece was also seamless. Very easy to access photos, she was responsive if we had questions, and everything is compiled into an easy to use website for downloading and ordering prints. Personable, fairly priced, flexible, and delivered stunning photos. We CANNOT recommend her enough.

that as an opportunity to express her creativity and make it a part of her style. She worked behind the scenes, only directing some portraits as needed. Her communication and preparedness helped make the day go smoothly.

crazy wedding season because of COVID, she delivered our photos to us fast and communicated with us every step of the way. Leading up to the day she sent all of our photos, she provided sneak peaks and was accommodating every time I asked her to send a specific photo while she worked on the rest. I am so happy we hired her and I cannot wait to look at our pictures for years to come. Thanks, Caly!

iends, everyone's first reaction was to remark on the amazing quality of the photos and how they captured the entire wedding experience perfectly!

day during the pandemic for us to have these beautiful pictures. Todd and Kelcey did a great job at wrangling our very large wedding party and family together for photos this year at our large postponed wedding. Both Caly and Todd took the time to find out what exactly we were looking for through a questionnaire and phone conversation before the wedding, which was super helpful. We got a bunch of “sneak peak” pictures about 2 weeks after the wedding, and we love them all so far! Caly was able to provide a selfie stand photo booth option which was a blast to have at the reception. We have had a great experience, Caly is great about a prompt response and has been super helpful with any questions/concerns we have had. Would definitely recommend for any event that you want to be beautifully photographed!

lpful throughout the entire chaotic process . Leading up to the wedding , Caly was so thorough with planning and helped me make a very detailed day of schedule as well as a list of portraits we wanted in the church . Day of Caly was perfect ! She managed to keep our very large and at times rowdy wedding party on track throughout portraits . She was extremely easy to work with . She had the best ideas and has an amazing eye for aspects of the venues that would make for beautiful photos. We received some of our sneak peeks already , and they are gorgeous . Her eye for detail , light , and color is unmatched. She went above and beyond for us , and in addition to being an amazing wedding photographer she is such a kind person. I can’t imagine having had anyone else photograph our wedding . Her work truly is timeless and breath taking.

hey were a perfect fit for us. Caly was super helpful and sweet throughout the entire process of booking. Todd was our photographer on the day, and he was incredibly kind and professional. We can't recommend them enough!

sincerity of it.

. She worked with us so that she could still come and photograph our wedding! During a stressful time she definitely made it easier. On the day of the wedding she was prompt, professional, and friendly. She guided us into poses while letting us be ourselves. She also walked about 3 miles with us before the actual reception so that we could take pictures around our neighborhood in Boston. The pictures came out amazingly! The posed photographs are gorgeous and the candids are so flattering. She really captured the mood of the event. Some of my guests even reached out to comment on how well the photos came out! We recommend Caly wholeheartedly!

hru, helps you, and gets all the info you need for that day. I did a very deep and long research to find her, and trust me, I found the best!! You will NOT regret your decision. Happy wedding planning! :)

me (and always has been!) and sent me whole galleries of weddings that she shot, which is a must brides-to-be! I instantly fell in love with her work. She has such an eye for lighting, color, and texture. Her pictures come to life in such a unique way. They are vibrant, real, and truly beautiful…every single one of them. Caly is sweet, kind hearted, professional, and so respectful of the quiet, intimate moments that she photographs. She blended in perfectly and it never felt intrusive to have her in the middle of the action. She could also wrangle (our very rowdy!) bridal party and got all the shots that I asked her to get. She kept us moving efficiently and on time and was always available for questions and ideas! I truly can’t recommend Caly enough! We also used Caly’s second shooter, Todd. They worked so well together and were able to capture multiple angles of shots, which added so much to our galleries! It also allowed much more flexibility in our timeline and we could be more efficient with portraits. Caly and Todd are the sweetest people and captured such special moments in the most beautiful way! Caly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

our unique venue while ensuring our personailities shown through. We didn’t have bridal parties, but we do have large families and she did a great job at ensuring every guest was in a picture. Seriously, every guest is in at least one photo...and we had 200 of them. We loved her laid back approach to planning, it fit our style and made it way less stressful. She ensured any must have images were taken care of upfront so the rest was just fun and relaxing. She also had a great eye for playing up the surroundings of your space and made sure the candid style of the photos fit the space. Something I never would have thought about. Caly also was so willing to help however she could. She graciously let us use her Tripod to film our ceremony on our own camera which worked out great. Caly and her team will ensure you have the best day of your life and that the best moments of said day are captured for you to refer back to for the rest of your life. A must book!

ea was crucial, considering we were in downtown Syracuse on a cold, gray, dreary day. Caly was able to send us the digital library of edited photos after a month. Caly was good at directing everyone. Caly was also good at listening to me, the bride, and ignoring my mother (who kept trying to direct everyone) in the most polite way possible.

tely at ease. She guided us through several different poses and segments flawlessly. We went to locations ALL OVER campus and Caly was always eager to try new ideas! It was an extremely hot day with a lot of walking and all throughout, Caly was always happy and energetic. She loves what she does and it clearly shows in all her work and pictures. Our photographs turned out absolutely beautifully! I am not exaggerating when I say that I stare at them everyday. We have already received hundreds of compliments! People are always saying how lucky we are to have found Caly, and I could not agree more :) She is one of the best photographers I have met and we could not be happier!

ectly. Before the wedding, she met with me in person when I was in town for a weekend to answer all my questions and so we weren't meeting for the first time the day of. She also had a helpful questionnaire that we filled out beforehand to make sure we got all the shots that we wanted. The day of, Caly was super flexible and patient when things got busy and people were distracted. She was able to interpret my vague ideas for portraits and they all came out wonderfully. We had so much fun shooting the portraits! She was also in the middle of the action during the reception--I was surprised and happy that she got so many great dancing photos without me really noticing she was there! After the wedding, we got some sneak peaks on instagram which made the wait easier. She also got our photos to us on the earlier end of the time frame she gave us, even though I could tell from her instagram she was really busy with other weddings. I really can't say enough positive things about working with Caly, and recommend her wholeheartedly.

ly does such a great job of making the bride and groom feel so comfortable. Walking off to do photos with her after the ceremony felt like this beautiful moment of tranquility for my husband and I to take it all in. During the reception and the ceremony, she is very discreet during the wedding, so that our guests felt very comfortable. Caly is really flexible too! Our great plan went out the window when hair and make-up took longer than expected. Caly came up to me and quietly reassured me everything would work out. I am so happy to have worked with her on my wedding day! My husband and I decided to do an engagement session with Caly. I was on the fence about it, but I highly recommend it! It was a really nice opportunity to meet with Caly and feel more comfortable posing for photos. We love the photos from our engagement session! She does a beautiful job capturing real emotion and our relationship. I cannot say enough good things about working with Caly, she was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for! We love our wedding photos! Her portraits are stunning -- she gently retouches photos to just make it look like us on our very best day. Her candids are incredible; my family has had a good laugh looking at all of the dancing photos. Thank you for taking such beautiful photos of our special day, Caly!!!

ue and the surrounding areas so she could plan her photos. She was quick in getting our photos back to us in a little under 4 weeks time! The photos we received were more beautiful than we could've imagined. I am so happy I found Caly to capture our special day! She is AMAZING.

good fit, and described some of the shots we had been thinking about and the family shots we wanted, and then took her to the ceremony and reception venues so that she could get a feel for them. From there we simply filled out a questionnaire, and she sent us a timeline, brought along an assistant, and was fully prepared to come in and take charge of what we wanted on the day of. We had our family photos, ceremony, and bridal shots in Stewart Park in Ithaca, and she chose beautiful spots to set these and kept the process flowing smoothly and naturally despite relatively large families and the public nature of the park. We were amazed at the number of shots she took of the entire process, from the beginning of us getting ready through large crowds dancing at the reception. She and her assistant really got into the energy of the guests, maintained a great sense of humor, and watched for shots that fit our personalities throughout the day. Caly’s prices were reasonable, and her personal touch and the beautiful, incredibly high-quality photos of a once-in-a-lifetime event like our wedding were well worth the cost.
