Rae believes that life imitates art, and that reality is the perfect backdrop to create it. She incorporates the wonder of truly connecting with other people in her work.

She has photographed over 500 wedding days and thousands of portraits over 18 years, which has taught her the skills to see important moments artistically, big and small.
Now happily based in North Carolina with her family, Rae finds her biggest job is to notice things. As a Raleigh Photographer who loves to travel and has photographed all over the country, she aims to find and capture each person’s unique stories and qualities.

Connection, emotion, good vibes, and a little bit of magic is always the inspiration.

Where it Started

Raleigh Photographer

Rae Marshall

I picked up a camera as a teen and fell in love with creating from reality. Photography has taken me on a wild ride, like to Broadway St. in Nashville with a Monster Truck for a commercial, shooting for Tommy Bahama in Hawaii & two magazine covers.

I don’t prefer to shoot in a specific “trend”, rather I tend to photograph in the feeling. And that may look different from person to person, but the final work conveys an artistic flair that just feels right.
