I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with such kick-ass, open-minded, kind-hearted couples every single day. The ones who are proud to be themselves and carve their own path in life and in love and own it.
If you choose to work with me you're hiring a new friend who is committed to telling your story, however wonderful and slightly weird it may be. I believe weddings aren't about hosting the "perfect" day or taking the perfect photo, but about human to human connection. Ordinary people, ordinary things, coming together for that split second to form something extraordinarily important.
"We LOVE Jocelyn!! We absolutely loved loved loved working with her. She did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. She totally got our vibe and vision, and she took the time to really get to know us. She's up for anything and when stuff didn't go as planned, she adapted, no problem. We can't thank her enough for capturing our special day. She really got our personalities and understood what was important to us. Jocelyn is so authentic, she loves what she does and that makes all the difference. It did for us! As a super self conscious bride, she helped me feel my best by being so supportive and made everything fun! Booking her was definitely the BEST decision we made. We're so happy to have a new friend in Jocelyn."
"I don't know how else to describe her, besides Jocelyn is amazing. I found Jocelyn through Instagram and first and foremost fell in love with her style of photography! She has a way of capturing human emotion and scenery that is so special. The entire time she was shooting with us, she was kind, flexible, and fit the group so well! Our wedding party had nothing but incredible things to say about her after the fact as well. The photos came out so beautiful and beyond what I had imagined."
For the couples who are down for an adventure:
Not so traditional day at a dreamy location with 50 people or less. Think short, but ever so sweet. Starting with detail shots, getting ready photos, ceremony/private vows, family photos, and couples photos.
*35mm film roll can be added on
For those that love a sweet physical keepsake to hang on your bathroom mirror or set on the dash of your car. They are the perfect romantic reminders of your love.
It’s romantic and dreamy. Film is something truly special--a moment in time that cannot be repeated or reshot exactly the same way. It’s perfectly imperfect. It holds a type of nostalgia that you just can’t get with digital tools.
Think more traditional wedding--starting with detail shots, hair and makeup, getting ready photos of both parties, ceremony, wedding party/family photos, couples photos, grand entrance, speeches, first dances, and anything else you would like covered before your party really starts popping off!

Think traditional wedding, but with time in between to experiment, starting with a detailed flat lay, hair and makeup, getting ready photos of both parties, first look, ceremony coverage, wedding party/family photos, couples photos, and any other moments throughout reception that you desire to be captured.

It’s not just about the day you show up for photos. We’ll start working together from day one to provide insights, resources, location ideas, planning tips, and timelines so that when you get to your wedding or session date, you’ll get to live fully in the moment.
Cue the music, pop a bottle, go exploring, dance in the desert, get comfortable, do your thang. I’ll provide prompts to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), let the magic happen and just be yourself.
You will receive a personal online gallery of edited high resolution images with unlimited high resolution downloads that you can share with your friends and family. This includes a personal print release. This means you are free to make prints on your own, however Jocelyn Rae Photography & Co. still owns the copyright.
Absolutely! What you see on social media and in my portfolio is only a small snippet of a wedding day. When you fill out a contact form, just let me know in the additional info box.
I feel so lucky to have traveled & photographed weddings and engagements across the West Coast and am more than willing to explore the rest of the U.S. as well as the rest of the world. Weddings that include travel are quoted on a case by case basis taking into account things like gas, airfare, time, accommodations, hotels, and/or rental car.
Yes! I have a long list of lovely vendors who I've personally worked with.

With film photography, the image (shadow) is fixed by a photosensitive material usually made with silver that reacts to the light, capturing the image on various sized grains of silver. With digital photography, an electronic sensor reacts to the light, capturing the images on identically sized pixels.
