Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hey people! I’d love to give you some great description of me but let’s just say I’m somewhere between a bohemian bad ass and the around the way girl. My husband says I’m a weirdo that lies between the two. I happily own the weirdo status. I’m a mom to a two year leader boss lady and an exceptional ASD super hero son. My husband is amazing too might I add. My bridal couples have describe me as being their part-time wedding planner, stylist, and therapist during their planning journey. So basically, I’m like family when it’s all said and done. I’ve always been the go-to girl so being your photographer is no different. I also give discounts to first responders and military! Here's the next steps. INITAIL CONSULTATION (FREE) Join me for a quick phone call where we get the chance for us to connect, for me to learn more about what you do and how I can best serve you. This is the time to ask questions related to the photo session process, what you can expect, what you is required of you for a your wedding day and planning process, what my role is, and how you envision your day. Schedule here https ://calendly.com/raynesha-dorsey 2. BOOK YOUR DATE Once we have a better understanding of what your vision is, it’s time for you to decide which photo collection best fulfills your needs. We will secure your wedding date and time that fit your schedule if you choose to add one in, establish your wedding date, a signed contract, and a prepared invoice. 3. CONTRACT & DEPOSIT A signed contract is required along with a $500 non-refundable deposit to hold your wedding date. Payments are accepted via credit/debit card, direct deposit, or by check. 4. PREPARING FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY I will send you a second questionnaire to help us both plan all the details of your upcoming day! We cover everything from how you want your photographs to look and feel, to how you plan to use your images, and then explore what that looks like in terms of location, props, wardrobe, etc. I am in the process of preparing a special PDF guide for all of my clients as well that offers tons of tips on preparing for you shoot. It covers outfit preparation, how we proceed if there is rain the day or your shoot, what are some fashion dos and don’ts and more! If you have questions just ask. 5. THE WEDDING DAY Now that your fully prepared and the anxiety around all those doubts and fears is diminished, it’s time to show up ready for an experience you will enjoy. I will guide you through posing, prop use, and capturing authentic connection during your session. You just need to relax and have fun! 6. DELIVERY OF YOUR IMAGES Approximately 4-6 weeks after your session, you will receive an online gallery of fully edited images. Then, it’s time to start implementing some beautiful curated products to put in your home. I know it's a digital world but hanging and having photos in your home gives your space a whole new feel.

Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful and not especially for a bride trying to find great vendors for your special day. Rae Marcel process was very professional, inviting and flexible. From the comfort of my fiancé and I home we FaceTime her which adds that personal touch and allowing us to interview her face to face. Also she has a questioner that helps her find out what you want to see in your picture on your wedding day. I hired her for our wedding day and can’t wait to see how our wedding pictures turn out.

Details: Wedding • 150 - 200 people • Indoors • Digital or online download • Physical proofs or prints • Bride or groom • $500 - $1,000 • $250 - $500

Rae was a gem during our experience getting married. She has wonderful interpersonal skills and put my fiancé and I, both very camera shy people, immediately at ease and gave us direction while we were photographed. She was creative and adaptable, professional and capable. I would recommend her to any couple for a wedding or elopement shoot and wish her the best.
