“She is amazing at what she does.”
“This review is WAY OVERDUE. I have thought about what I was going to say in this review for awhile, and I will start with the beginning. We found Bre via instagram with only one month out from our elopement in March of 2021. Because of COVID, we had to push our wedding twice and decided to do something special just the two of us with the time we had off. Right from the beginning, we had a video call with her and we just all clicked. She made that call fun and relaxing with both of us answering questions about the other and what we wanted our day to look like. We chose the 4-5 hour package, with three locations. There was a swimsuit sunset shoot that I had seen on an instagram and she was enthusiastic and willing to try any fun ideas we had. …. In our 12 years, we had never gotten professional photos done and we were honestly nervous but Bre made this day so relaxed and comfortable and was able to capture beautiful moments. She is professional, organized, so fun to be around, has a calming presence, and is amazing at what she does. She even took the time to send us restaurants in our area with price ranges, recommendations on excursions, and we texted her the whole week we were in Hawaii before our elopement. I cannot thank her enough for those memories and pictures. Recently, we were having trouble finding a photographer for our wedding next year and we reached out to her asking if she knew anyone out in Illinois. She took the time out of her busy schedule to help us find one by posting on her facebook group. We continue to stay in touch and I can honestly say I gained a friend out of this as well. I cannot recommend her enough.

“She really captured the love between us!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Bre! My husband and I were on a cruise and we were only in Kona for one day and she dropped everything to accommodate us. And when I say that I mean everything. She took the day off from her other job, she drove to pick us up from the port, she drove us 1 hour and 30 minutes to and from the shooting location, she hiked a mountain, took us to lunch and spent her day absolutely just taking care of us.
What I love about Bre is that she had us do things the whole shoot. This means we got a lot of candid photos! A lot of photos of my husband and I laughing, playing on the sand, walking, kissing, dancing... she really captured the love between us!
Bre is super easy to talk to and is just an amazing person! If you are booking with her, get ready for a great day and amazing photos! I highly recommend.”

“She was such a calming and chill presence”
“We absolutely loved working with Bre for our October 2023 wedding! From initial booking to full gallery reveal it was so simple and easy to work with Bre. We were both a little nervous about being in front of the camera and she was such a calming and chill presence the day of and she made sure to get all the shots we wanted and more. We are so pleased with our wedding gallery and truly cannot believe the photos she captured of our special day! We would definitely recommend Bre to anyone and are just so happy she was available on our day!”

“Bre went the extra mile, literally!”
Bre is fantastic! My fiance and I flew out to Hawaii for vacation and decided to get engagement photos. She did an amazing job and was awesome to work with! (Stephanie)
I have never had anyone take a professional photo of me before, I felt very awkward at first(I am not photogenic at all) but Bre broke the ice by creating an inviting tone which allowed me to loosen up. Myself and my fiance really had a great time with the photo session, Bre went the extra mile, literally as we went on a 30 or so minute hike up the side of a mountain for the perfect photo--> Dedication!👌 She sent us the photos quicker than expected and they turned out great! Overall, great experience with Bre Rae, I highly recommend making the call today!!! Thank you Bre!! (Craig)

“We felt comfortable to be ourselves and it showed in the photos!”
“If you are looking for beautiful photos taken of you and/or your significant other Bre is amazing. She is so thorough in her process to get to know you so that she meet your needs but honestly my needs were far exceeded! Her skills were evident from beginning to end, when I received my gorgeous photos of my fiance and I at one of our favorite beach in Kona on the big island of Hawaii. Bre was waiting for us on the day of the photo shoot and was so personable that my fiance and I felt comfortable to be ourselves and it showed in the photos.
I also loved that she was able to capture the scenery! She gave a us great direction so to maximize the time/photos but not to the point where I felt uncomfortable, it was just right! She communicated very well & I appreciated how timely she was with everything! I can't say enough good things about this experience. If your looking for a down to earth, professional, and genuinely great person to take photos of you, you & your spouse or your family then Bre would be a great fit for you!”
