    Stunning photos!

    We can't thank Nadine enough for everything she did for our engagement shoot, wedding day, and full gallery. My husband and I were initially on the fence about doing an engagement shoot, but ultimately after seeing the pictures, I'm so glad we did it in order to have a chance to meet Nadine before the wedding and see what her style is. She was so professional and organized when it came to the day of timeline and it really helped keep us on schedule. We just received our gallery after getting married the week before Christmas (which is so quick given the number of pictures we got) and we were blown away by how amazing they all are. Nadine captured every single moment of the day and there wasn't one detail that was missed. You can tell how much time and energy was spent into making sure the gallery was perfect. Nadine is so incredibly talented and has the best eye. Her "moody" aesthetic was the perfect complement to our venue, color scheme, dresses, flowers, time of year, etc. It was amazing to be able to relive our wedding day from the outside since there are so many things I already forgot about or didn't see the day of like detail shots of the ballroom, cocktail hour, the guys getting ready, and our guests throughout the night. I couldn't imagine having anyone else photograph our wedding. Thank you so much for everything, Nadine!

    Such a great experience!

    Nadine was amazing to work with. She made sure all the shots I wanted were captured and was highly organized throughout the entire day. The venue was a destination wedding and I really leaned on her to stage and capture the artsy and emotional shots of the day and she came through 110%.

    I highly recommend her for wedding day and if you can, rehearsal dinner.

    When I look at the pictures she’s given us, I can think back to that exact moment and feel the emotion in the picture. That was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer and Nadine did that and more. Capturing those raw moments was something I was very particular about when selecting my photographer and she definitely went out of her way to make sure my vision was captured!

    Definitely recommend!

    Thank you so much for the incredibly kind review! I'm so thrilled to hear how happy you were with the whole experience!

    Everything you want and beyond in a photographer

    When we expressed that we wanted some editorial style pictures, Nadine understood the assignment to a T!! We didn’t believe that we are photogenic and artsy people, but her eyes for fine art made us look like editorial models so effortlessly! Everything from composition and style to lighting and exposure was just pure perfection. She’s also a pleasure to work with. She helped developing a timeline and recommended locations that fit our vision. Definitely recommend!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so happy you had such a wonderful experience! You two were naturals in front of the camera!

    So talented!!!

    Nadine from Heart & Rae Photography was the photographer for my micro wedding in March. She was highly professional and has a keen eye for detail! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our day. Her turn around time was amazing and my husband and I absolutely love our photos! I can't recommend Heart & Rae Photography enough!

    Nadine is the best!

    Nadine seriously KILLED IT with our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both fairly uncomfortable in front of the camera but she made us look like we knew what we were doing. Our photos are insane and we have gotten so many compliments. Like other reviewers have said, they really do look like they came out of a magazine! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she is also super helpful throughout the entire planning process. Always available when I had a question and incredibly thorough with creating a timeline for the day of so that everything ran smoothly. She even helped with finding a spot for our first look photos and came out to check it out a couple weeks before the wedding to make sure it would work (and we live about an hour from her). I definitely experienced some pre-wedding anxiety and she helped calm me down! After the wedding, a family friend suddenly passed away. I asked if she had any more photos of them and she ended up sending me a handful of extra pictures. So, you get more than just a great photographer when you hire her! She is incredibly talented, professional, and kind. Thank you, Nadine, for everything. Our photos will be something to cherish and look back on for years to come!

    Amazing, professional & the best!

    We knew from the very beginning that we had made the right choice with choosing Nadine! Before we contracted, she asked to have an in-person meeting to get to know each other - this is something that not a lot of people do anymore and it means a lot.
    Our engagement pictures came out amazing and we could not be happier.
    Her help planning with them & our day of pictures was amazing, professional & so helpful. She helped to plan every step of the day. She also helped to keep everything on track & continuously checked in to make sure we were okay the day of the wedding.
    Nadine is the best of the best - we cannot wait to see the whole finished product!
    We are so thankful that we found her!!!

    Look No Further! Nadine is Everything you need!

    My husband and I hired Nadine as the photography for our wedding. Since we booked her, she made sure all of our needs were met and that everything was organized for our wedding day. She is very responsive to any questions that we had and listened to our needs. Her photography is gorgeous and the work speaks for itself!

    Without a doubt, Nadine is the best and I strongly recommend her! She will not disappoint!

    High quality through and through

    Nadine was exceptional in everything. She will help you create the timeline and offer so much advice on places in the Philadelphia area that is ideal to create that incredible photo backdrop. I shared a few photos and got a few responses of that they look like they came from a magazine. I am often awkward in front of a camera but they came out so well and she gave me great direction during the shoot. Her assistant was super pleasant as well.

    We used Heart & Rae Photography for our engagement pictures and couldn't be happier.  Nadine worked meticulously with us, taking time to get to know us and get an idea of exactly what we were looking for.  She is very easy to work with and had some great recommendations of where to have our pictures taken at.  Nadine really captured our engagement shoot with some great artistic shots; she had lots of creative spots to take our photos at Longwood Gardens.  The photos came on time as promised and they were absolutely stunning!  She gave us a link to all of the pictures to share with family and friends.  It’s also a very convenient way to download all of our photos.  I would highly recommend Nadine to anyone and would definitely use her again!   We loved Heart & Rae Photography! Much love A&C

    Lauren N. - bride

    Nadine and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. It was clear that day and in the photos now how much she understood the style of photos we were looking for. She found the most perfect places for us to shoot based on what brought out the best in the venue and in my wife and I as a couple. Nothing felt forced and this helped us to let our natural feelings really come through in the moment which showed in the photos. Nadine responds incredibly quickly to emails which has made the process of getting the photos after the wedding and selecting our prints go seamlessly. Nadine allowed for us to have photos that capture our wedding in the most perfect way and we feel lucky to have these amazing photos that can so easily transport us back to the best day of our lives.

    So happy to have such beautiful photos to remind us of our day!

    We could not have been happier with our experience with Nadine! She was very responsive by email throughout the process and set up a time to chat prior so that we could talk about expectations and timing which allowed everything to run smoothly day of. Nadine beautifully captured our small ceremony in the city, along with family pictures and pictures of my husband and I following. We look forward to using her in the future for family sessions =)

    Book Nadine, right now!

    Nadine is one of the most professional people I have ever seen. From the moment I contacted her, she has been responsive, and she always has great ideas for the photos. Her photos look all artistic and they are combinations of wonderful design and beautiful colors. Every picture is Instagrammable!
    Before my wedding, it was said that the weather would not be good. In that case, Nadine offered to cut some hours for the wedding and do a make-up shooting when weather is nice. This act really warmed my heart and I realized that she is not only a professional photographer but also a trustworthy person.
    I hope I would have more opportunities to have her take photos for me in the future. I believe you will like her as much as I do after her service.

    Our pictures for our engagement shoot are so so lovely! The lighting is magazine worthy.

    Additionally, we felt very comfortable on our shoot, especially the fiance who normally doesn't love posing for pictures.

    She got our photos back quickly which was awesome because we were so excited for them.

    Thank you! We have so many great photos to choose from. I guess we need to buy more frames!

    Nadine was amazing! I had hired her to capture the moment I proposed to the love of my life, and she gave me the photo(s) I had dreamed of. I was, obviously, very nervous for the moment itself, and to get the picture-perfect moment photographed and Nadine did such a great job. She was so helpful in choosing a spot, in planning, and got so many great pictures. Not only that, she got the photos to us in less than 24 hours, processed and all, so that we were able to share them with family almost immediately. 10/10 I would use Nadine again and recommend her to anybody who was looking for someone to capture a special moment, or day, in their lives.

    For our engagement shoots (there were two), Nadine of Heart & Rae was incredibly patient and kind with me and my partner. While my then fiancé, now wife, is incredibly photogenic, I… I am not. Nadine was able to take the time to help me find a groove and our photos were the better for it. Nadine, and Heart & Rae by extension, receive my eternal praise and the highest recommendation possible.

    From the customer service to the delivery of the photos, Nadine made us feel like we were number 1. We loved her enthusiasm and excitement and it made us feel very comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. She was proactive in helping us find photo locations and captured all the little details we had planned. We were so happy that she suggested doing a first look because it gave us more time to do pictures earlier in the day without being rushed or feeling the pressure to talk to our guests. It was a great decision because we never felt like were pulled away for photography after the ceremony. We really loved all the candids and funny moments of my family she captured, all while be non intrusive and discreet. We really can’t say enough wonderful things!

    Nadine was great. She takes amazing photos, and she has a very natural way of letting the shots happen...definitely not the stereotypical forced wedding photos. Her photos are very artistic and intuitive. Her and her staff is great to work with. We hired Nadine for our wedding and also family photos. We found her because 2 of our friends used her for their weddings. Nadine took such great photos of me and my wife at those weddings that we still have some of those photos displayed in our house! I am a professional Designer and Illustrator, as well as amateur Photographer so I am actually a very selective when it comes to art. And, most importantly my wife loves our photos!

    My husband and I worked with Nadine for our wedding in Philadelphia. We knew that photos would be the one thing we'd have to look back on after the big day, so we wanted to make sure we picked the right person for the job. Nadine was incredible to work with...she's an artist and a stickler for details, and, perhaps most importantly, she knows how to get great photos of people who hate having their photos taken!! We wanted an easy-going atmosphere with natural, candid-feeling shots and that's exactly what we got, and then some. The day was documented beginning to end, and she ran with us all over Philadelphia in a trolley (on a 95 degree day in June) to get photos in various locations that are meaningful to us. Working with Nadine was truly a pleasure, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for artful, creative wedding photography.

    We have whole heartedly trusted Nadine to capture the most precious moments of our life- our wedding and our first family photo's after the birth of our daughter. We would absolutely recommend her without hesitation. She is a true artist and her talent shows 100% in all of her work. I have always been in awe of Nadine's ability to capture the most naturally beautiful lighting and moments regardless of the setting. Her work truly stands out for its quality and classic simple beauty and she is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to having Nadine with us through all of life's journeys.

    Thanks so much Sarah and Mike! Your wedding is still one of my absolute favorites!

    Nadine shot my wedding a couple of years ago and we had a wonderful experience. We had a very small wedding of 35 guests and no wedding party. Since it was a smaller wedding, I was somewhat concerned at the time that having a photographer would be intrusive. But Nadine captured so many beautiful images totally inconspicuously.
    I did extensive research on photographers for our wedding, and decided on Nadine for her unique and beautiful work.
    After we had our daughter, we hired Nadine again to take what turned out to be gorgeous family pictures.
    Nadine is extremely talented, easy to deal with, and her photographs are stunning!

    Almost seven years later, my husband and I still agree that hiring Nadine to do our wedding photos was the best decision we made for our day. Not only was she so great to work with (I typically hate getting my photo taken and feel very self-conscious), but the photos themselves turned out SO GOOD. Everyone in the family had to know who did them and my mother insisted we use her for my sister's wedding - with the same, excellent results. I think one of the best, most accurate comments we received was when someone said "Oh my gosh - your wedding photos look like a perfume add or something! They are so beautiful!"

    You can be sure your photos will be more than just memories.. they will be pieces of art.

    We loved her and her work so much we had to have her back when our first baby was born.. second one on the way now and we'll be bugging her again for that round!

    Heart & Rae Photography's reply:

    Dana, you're the best! I really couldn't get a better compliment than it looking like a perfume ad! Thank you!
