r fine art made us look like editorial models so effortlessly! Everything from composition and style to lighting and exposure was just pure perfection. She’s also a pleasure to work with. She helped developing a timeline and recommended locations that fit our vision. Definitely recommend!
Nadine was amazing to work with. She made sure all the shots I wanted were captured and was highly organized throughout the entire day. The venue was a destination wedding and I re...
ally leaned on her to stage and capture the artsy and emotional shots of the day and she came through 110%.
I highly recommend her for wedding day and if you can, rehearsal dinner.
When I look at the pictures she’s given us, I can think back to that exact moment and feel the emotion in the picture. That was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer and Nadine did that and more. Capturing those raw moments was something I was very particular about when selecting my photographer and she definitely went out of her way to make sure my vision was captured!
Definitely recommend!
We had the best time working with Nadine and her team at Heart and Rae! We loved her ability to capture natural, beautiful moments. During the planning process, Nadine worked seaml...
essly with us and with our wedding planner to make sure she knew what we had in mind for portrait locations and group photos. The day-of, she and her assistant Elizabeth made us feel so comfortable as they directed our posing. We love all of the candids that they captured throughout the day as well. Our wedding photos look stunning - we would recommend Heart & Rae to anyone!

ER know looking at my photos! My husband and I love our wedding photos and are so glad we worked with Heart & Rae Photography for our special day!
Nadine seriously KILLED IT with our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both fairly uncomfortable in front of the camera but she made us look like we knew what we w...
ere doing. Our photos are insane and we have gotten so many compliments. Like other reviewers have said, they really do look like they came out of a magazine! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she is also super helpful throughout the entire planning process. Always available when I had a question and incredibly thorough with creating a timeline for the day of so that everything ran smoothly. She even helped with finding a spot for our first look photos and came out to check it out a couple weeks before the wedding to make sure it would work (and we live about an hour from her). I definitely experienced some pre-wedding anxiety and she helped calm me down! After the wedding, a family friend suddenly passed away. I asked if she had any more photos of them and she ended up sending me a handful of extra pictures. So, you get more than just a great photographer when you hire her! She is incredibly talented, professional, and kind. Thank you, Nadine, for everything. Our photos will be something to cherish and look back on for years to come!
Our wedding was on December 6th & we just got our pictures back this past weekend (so quick!) - We are half way done going through our pictures and we just have no words for how mu...
ch we love them.
Nadine captured every single special moment - we will forever be grateful for the amazing pictures you took with the exchanges between us and our family & friends. And also capturing all the things that made our day special - just to mention a few things!
Her professionalism & advice helped us to plan for our day and kept us on track.
She truly amazing and so talented and we just cannot thank her enough for the pictures we will cherish for forever!
We recently got married on October 11th. Nadine sent us a few sneak peek photos and WOW. They are incredible and breathtaking!!!! I can not wait to see the entire album. Nadine was...
awesome. We felt at ease with her on our wedding day and she was very professional throughout the whole process. We also had our engagement shoot done with her last summer. After seeing those photos, we instantly booked our wedding photos with her. I love her photography style. I highly recommend her, simply amazing!
Nadine and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. It was clear that day and in the photos now how much she understood the style of photos we were looking for. She found t...
he most perfect places for us to shoot based on what brought out the best in the venue and in my wife and I as a couple. Nothing felt forced and this helped us to let our natural feelings really come through in the moment which showed in the photos. Nadine responds incredibly quickly to emails which has made the process of getting the photos after the wedding and selecting our prints go seamlessly. Nadine allowed for us to have photos that capture our wedding in the most perfect way and we feel lucky to have these amazing photos that can so easily transport us back to the best day of our lives.
Nadine was exceptional in everything. She will help you create the timeline and offer so much advice on places in the Philadelphia area that is ideal to create that incredible pho...
to backdrop. I shared a few photos and got a few responses of that they look like they came from a magazine. I am often awkward in front of a camera but they came out so well and she gave me great direction during the shoot. Her assistant was super pleasant as well.
We could not have been happier with our experience with Nadine! She was very responsive by email throughout the process and set up a time to chat prior so that we could talk about ...
expectations and timing which allowed everything to run smoothly day of. Nadine beautifully captured our small ceremony in the city, along with family pictures and pictures of my husband and I following. We look forward to using her in the future for family sessions =)
Nadine is one of the most professional people I have ever seen. From the moment I contacted her, she has been responsive, and she always has great ideas for the photos. Her photos...
look all artistic and they are combinations of wonderful design and beautiful colors. Every picture is Instagrammable!
Before my wedding, it was said that the weather would not be good. In that case, Nadine offered to cut some hours for the wedding and do a make-up shooting when weather is nice. This act really warmed my heart and I realized that she is not only a professional photographer but also a trustworthy person.
I hope I would have more opportunities to have her take photos for me in the future. I believe you will like her as much as I do after her service.
We used Heart & Rae Photography for our engagement pictures and couldn't be happier. Nadine worked meticulously with us, taking time to get to know us and get an idea of exactly w...
hat we were looking for. She is very easy to work with and had some great recommendations of where to have our pictures taken at. Nadine really captured our engagement shoot with some great artistic shots; she had lots of creative spots to take our photos at Longwood Gardens. The photos came on time as promised and they were absolutely stunning! She gave us a link to all of the pictures to share with family and friends. It’s also a very convenient way to download all of our photos. I would highly recommend Nadine to anyone and would definitely use her again! We loved Heart & Rae Photography!
Nadine was amazing! I had hired her to capture the moment I proposed to the love of my life, and she gave me the photo(s) I had dreamed of. I was, obviously, very nervous for the m...
oment itself, and to get the picture-perfect moment photographed and Nadine did such a great job. She was so helpful in choosing a spot, in planning, and got so many great pictures. Not only that, she got the photos to us in less than 24 hours, processed and all, so that we were able to share them with family almost immediately. 10/10 I would use Nadine again and recommend her to anybody who was looking for someone to capture a special moment, or day, in their lives.
Our pictures for our engagement shoot are so so lovely! The lighting is magazine worthy.
Additionally, we felt very comfortable on our shoot, especially the fiance who normally d...
oesn't love posing for pictures.
She got our photos back quickly which was awesome because we were so excited for them.
Thank you! We have so many great photos to choose from. I guess we need to buy more frames!
Nadine photographed my wedding and did the most amazing job! Nadine captured every magical moment. They are all perfectly preserved for me to look back on. She is phenomenal! Highl...
y, highly, highly recommend.
Almost seven years later, my husband and I still agree that hiring Nadine to do our wedding photos was the best decision we made for our day. Not only was she so great to work wit...
h (I typically hate getting my photo taken and feel very self-conscious), but the photos themselves turned out SO GOOD. Everyone in the family had to know who did them and my mother insisted we use her for my sister's wedding - with the same, excellent results. I think one of the best, most accurate comments we received was when someone said "Oh my gosh - your wedding photos look like a perfume add or something! They are so beautiful!"
You can be sure your photos will be more than just memories.. they will be pieces of art.
We loved her and her work so much we had to have her back when our first baby was born.. second one on the way now and we'll be bugging her again for that round!
Nadine was great. She takes amazing photos, and she has a very natural way of letting the shots happen...definitely not the stereotypical forced wedding photos. Her photos are very...
artistic and intuitive. Her and her staff is great to work with. We hired Nadine for our wedding and also family photos. We found her because 2 of our friends used her for their weddings. Nadine took such great photos of me and my wife at those weddings that we still have some of those photos displayed in our house! I am a professional Designer and Illustrator, as well as amateur Photographer so I am actually a very selective when it comes to art. And, most importantly my wife loves our photos!
Nadine is an absolute pleasure to work with. Very professional, nice, and easy to deal with. I could not have asked for a better experience with a photographer for my wedding! My ...
wedding pictures turned out so gorgeous all due to her. She is so incredibly talented and really captured the atmosphere and feel of my wedding. I got married in 2009, and I still love looking at my photos. They were and remain to be just perfect.
Great pictures, great experience. We have our pictures hanging and look at our pictures every day and relive our wedding. We never looked better.
I LOVE our wedding photos! We looked around a lot for a photographer and as soon as I saw Heart & Rae Photography, I knew it was the one. It was absolutely worth the investmen...
t to pick a creative photographer with so much experience. Nadine was professional and very accommodating to all our photo requests. I was worried since we didn’t have a wedding planner that the day might be a bit chaotic. But Nadine helped us immensely in creating a photography schedule for the day. She had a clamming presence and my whole family loved her. We couldn’t be more pleased!
We have whole heartedly trusted Nadine to capture the most precious moments of our life- our wedding and our first family photo's after the birth of our daughter. We would absolu...
tely recommend her without hesitation. She is a true artist and her talent shows 100% in all of her work. I have always been in awe of Nadine's ability to capture the most naturally beautiful lighting and moments regardless of the setting. Her work truly stands out for its quality and classic simple beauty and she is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to having Nadine with us through all of life's journeys.
Nadine is amazing! She is easy to communicate with and she made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. She captured such amazing pictures and some that I wasn’t even around for...
to see in person. I will cherish these pictures forever! She has such an eye for capturing such unique, beautiful images, we were so happy we chose her.
Heart & Rae Photography was the perfect match for our wedding. We both feel awkward in front of the camera. Nadine was great at coaching us though the photo shoot and suggesting ...
ideas. She made us laugh and the whole experience really fun and stress free. We worked hard creating a lot of details for the day and she took such beautiful pictures of everything. I truly treasure the pictures and have them framed all over my home. Since we have had a baby and we absolutely love the pictures she has taken of our daughter and us.
We are over the moon about our wedding photos! They are everything we envisioned and more. Nadine was incredibly accommodating to our needs and she suggested very cool, unique lo...
cations that I didn’t even know existed in Philly! We really felt at ease and she was professional throughout the whole process. We received our photos quickly and we loved them so much we also got an album and parent albums. The process of making our album was easy and I love the clean, modern design. I love showing it off to friends and the parent albums were perfect gifts. I highly recommend her!
From the customer service to the delivery of the photos, Nadine made us feel like we were number 1. We loved her enthusiasm and excitement and it made us feel very comfortable and...
at ease on our wedding day. She was proactive in helping us find photo locations and captured all the little details we had planned. We were so happy that she suggested doing a first look because it gave us more time to do pictures earlier in the day without being rushed or feeling the pressure to talk to our guests. It was a great decision because we never felt like were pulled away for photography after the ceremony. We really loved all the candids and funny moments of my family she captured, all while be non intrusive and discreet. We really can’t say enough wonderful things!
Nadine was a dream to work with and the images were incredible. She is nonintrusive, easy to talk to and is a true artist. We strongly recommend her!
Nadine is a creative artist and a true professional. We couldn’t be more happy with our wedding photos, engagement shoot and albums. We love that the photos reflect who we are as...
a couple. They are the prefect mix of modern artistry and candid moments. Like many people, we are nervous in front of the camera and she put us at ease right away with her patience and presence. We loved how she was able to give us subtle directions and suggestions, but not make us feel like we were posing for the camera. She collaborated with us to suggest unique locations for our engagement shoot and wedding that matched our vision and style as a couple. We really recommend the engagement shoot because it made us feel even more at ease on our wedding day, especially my husband. She lead us to areas with beautiful lighting and landscapes which made the photos so unique. Before the wedding she also helped us pick locations for the photos and helped plan a timeline for the day which was a HUGE help. I’m so happy that I had Nadine help me with that because it made the day stress free and fun, which is all I wanted. I can’t believe how many candid moments she captured of my family and friends during the wedding of them laughing and dancing. There was so much happening on my wedding day I love that every time I look at the photos, I can re-live the intimate moments I didn’t see. Heart & Rae Photography was hands down our best investment and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Researching a photographer for your wedding is very important. Trusting someone to capture the 'big day' takes skill, professionalism, creativity, as well as patience. Nadine has...
all that and more! My husband and I never felt more calm taking pictures. She created a great presence that made us happy throughout the whole day. The images that we got were nothing less than perfect. We also purchased a wedding album for ourselves and for our parents. You know the pictures are amazing when family still talks about the images and how it takes them back to our special day. We share the same sentiments!
Nadine did such an amazing job photographing my wedding. I'm terrible at getting my photo taken but Nadine helped me with my best angles and took beautiful photographs of me and my...
husband. I didn't know that I could look that good! She made us both feel so comfortable and truly captured the essence of the day. Every detail was captured with perfection. She really recognizes the importance of the wedding day, so it was great to trust her completely with my photos. Worth every penny!!
Nadine is a true professional making us feel relaxed from the beginning to the end. When we look through our wedding album Nadine's vision and creativity continues to make us reli...
ve the happiest day of our lives. I highly recommend her for the value & professionalism when booking Heart & Rae Photography.
The quality of Nadine's work is incredible. She truly captured our wedding and when I look at my photos I feel as though I am reliving the day. She was professional, arriving on ...
time and delivering my photos within a few weeks, providing sneak peeks before they were all complete. Even when I was satisfied with the number of photos she had taken, Nadine wanted to keep shooting. Her top priority is to provide many quality photos, and to please the bride and groom. She utilizes natural settings and doesn't need gimmicks to achieve beautiful results, so our photos were unique to us and our family. Since our wedding, she has taken photos of our children which are even better. We will continue to use her as our family photographer.
I'm an awkward (looking/acting) individual and I don't photograph well, thankfully my partner is photogenic enough for the both of us. Nadine was kind enough and — I cannot stress ...
this enough — patient with me all throughout our shoots. We shot in four different locations on two separate occasions and each time, we were able to fit multiple looks into our engagement shoots. I enjoy her aesthetic and cannot recommend her nearly enough.
