Jane & JEB's Engagement Session

Chris and I had such a fun time with Jane and JEB yesterday out at Freedom Park in Charlotte, NC, even though it was raining/drizzling the WHOLE time (thanks for braving it). JEB is a little used to being on the other side of the camera; he was the videographer at our wedding. But, it is obvious how much he loves Jane, as he was smiling the entire time! We are really looking forward to their upcoming wedding in November in Rock Hill, SC.

Nicki & Steve- June 10, 2006

Congratulations to Nicki and Steve on their marriage! We just returned from the Hotel Saranac where we photographed the big day, and we just had to go ahead and pull up our favorites! Thank you for allowing us the honor of documenting your sweet moments! We especially loved that you gave rings to your children and vowed to love them as well.

Last minute wedding?

Even though we typically have a minimum investment of $2,000 with packages ranging up to $4,500, we offer a variety of discounts for special circumstances. One of these circumstances is last-minute weddings/elopements or just last minute bookings. We have the following dates available in the next two-three months:

July 29*
August 5 and 19
September 2*/3* and 23*
October 14

*(limited to 50 mile radius with only one photographer)
The closer your date is to today, the more of a discount we offer. We often book weddings at the 3 month mark, so these dates are not necessarily available for discounts yet. Please, inquire for more information. These dates are just the popular dates (Sat/Holiday); if you are getting married on a Friday or Sunday before/after these dates, chances are we are available. Email us at rae@photographybyrae.com or call 518-586-6827.

Beth & Steve- May 28, 2006

Congratulations to Beth and Steve! And, thank God for my husband Chris who saved the day by taking over after I sprained my ankle trying to keep up with you two... it is a dangerous job, I tell ya! Thank you for being so amazingly understanding, Beth and Steve. We both enjoyed you and your guests so much. The wedding was at St. Agnes in Lake Placid, followed by a reception at the Hilton.

P.S. No worries... the doctor said I should be ready to go for the next wedding on June 10, and in the meantime, I am doing everything I can to get a full recovery.
