Whitney Rae Photography

wcase so much of the emotion of the day. It’s been so hard for our family and us to pick out the ones that we want to frame because of this. On the day of, Whitney was so accommodating to our schedule and all of the chaos that comes with a wedding, and she was a pro through it all. She was able to deal with a difficult bridesmaid & family drama while staying professional and understanding (but also with boundaries), which I am so incredibly grateful for. It meant a lot to me that she did what she could to handle the day, but also recognized when something was going too far and needed family to be involved (this was a mental health episode in one of the guests - absolutely not a normal wedding day situation), as the last thing that I wanted was for my vendors to be in an uncomfortable situation. Her and Misty (my planner from Blissful Moment Events) absolutely made my day so easy and seamless, allowing me to just enjoy the emotions. The photos bring me back to the day in the best way possible, and I love them so much. Thank you for everything you did Whitney!

the moment we met her, her funny, kind, and caring nature put us at ease and made the entire planning experience more enjoyable and WAY less stressful! Whitney is an expert in her field. She knew exactly how to curate our Colorado elopement experience. Whitney gave us tons of tips and tricks for booking the BEST vendors in Colorado and located the perfect spots for adventuring. Her insight and recommendations were invaluable, and she helped us create a day that reflected our vision perfectly. Not only did she help create and organize the perfect day, but Whitney's talent behind the lens takes things to the next level. I literally watched her scale the mountains of Cottonwood Pass in a pair of VANS sneakers while taking the most breathtaking photos of us! She also has a unique ability to create a relaxed atmosphere, which allowed us to truly be ourselves in front of the camera. She captured every precious moment with such artistry and attention to detail, and created memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. While looking through our photos, we are reminded not only of the beauty of the day but also of the joy and love we felt. She goes above and beyond for her clients which shines through in her work. My husband and I both feel incredibly lucky to have had her as our photographer, and can’t recommend her enough! If you're looking for someone who is not only a badass but also genuinely cares about making your special day unforgettable, look no further!

our wedding photos and every time we post or send them, everyone is obsessed (as are we!) Our wedding was about a week ago and I literally cannot stop looking at the sneak peek. Whitney has a way of not only capturing the moment, but capturing the feeling of the moment as well as the vision you have for your special day. She was always able to get great shots whether that meant instructing us a bit when we weren't sure what to do with our arms, or just letting us do our thing in a way that felt authentic to us. For our engagement photos, she turned drinks at a ski lodge into cozy, intimate moments captured on film, and a mountain charcuterie party complete with a couple runs down the slopes into an epic time that we can cherish forever not only in our memories, but in her images. Then came wedding day and when she got the (massive) sneak peek back to us (insanely quickly) I felt all the feelings again that I had felt on our wedding day. I felt the butterflies I had during my first look with my friends, the tears I cried during the one with my dad, and then the reassurance and excitement I felt during my first look with my husband. (Why am I crying again as I write this?) But it doesn't stop there. Whitney helped us walk and move through couples photos in a way that created elegant, timeless images, was constantly on the lookout for good lighting, expertly scouted the new terrain, and was there to instruct family as needed for group shots. She even made sure to include our pup in our special day! And then there was the party. The dance floor shots are my favorite, as every single thing she captured speaks to a personality, a moment, and the feelings of excitement and joy that we had as we partied the night away with all of our favorite people. Basically what I'm saying is, time flies on your wedding day. But Whitney expertly captures the beauty and emotion of the whole day, so that instead of being fleeting, it can be remembered forever. I don't even know how she is everywhere, getting every moment, but she is. Not to mention she is a support throughout the entire wedding process and was so helpful in coming up with our timeline for the day when we had some questions during planning. We are so overjoyed that we got to share our special day with Whitney and highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thank you for helping to make our perfect day even more memorable 🤍

ng without Whitney! She went above and beyond. If you are looking for the perfect photographer who is up for anything to capture your adventures then look no further!
