LOVE NOTES
"We were blessed to have Sam & Eric shoot our daughter's wedding. We are beyond happy with the bridals and the wedding day photos. Absolutely gorgeous. No funky filters needed, they know how to use their cameras. Plus they are a super fun couple who will put you at ease and have fun along with you and your guests.

Wedding Day Storytelling
Our style is about direct light, shadow, true to life colors, and depth.
If you feel a pull to wander, even right in your own backyard, then you share the same passion to discover places right in front of your eyes just like Rae Allen Photography.
THE RAE ALLEN BRAND
PHOTOGRAPHY WRAPPED IN LAUGHTER
For the Joyful, the Bold, and the Beautifully Unscripted
Rae Allen Photography is for those who believe their best memories are the ones made laughing, dancing, crying, and soaking in every moment—fully present and completely themselves. If you’re not afraid to belly laugh on your wedding day and want striking, emotional imagery to show for it, you’re our kind of people.
Based in Texas, we’re Sam and Eric—a husband-and-wife team with over a decade of combined experience in wedding, editorial, journalistic, portrait, and fine art photography. We bring technical precision, storytelling instincts, and a whole lot of heart to everything we do.
Sam is artistic, detail-driven, and just the right amount of bossy when it comes to wrangling a group photo where everyone’s eyes are open. She shoots both film and digital, balancing timeless patience with a knack for timing—and a well-timed bad joke to get the perfect smile. Before Rae Allen Photography, she honed her skills as a communications specialist and event photographer for a major Texas school district, thriving in high-pressure timelines and unforgettable moments.
Eric is the calm in the chaos, instantly clicking with everyone he meets. A photojournalist at heart, his specialty is catching those fleeting, candid in-between moments that often become client favorites. He’s also the tech brain behind the operation—drone enthusiast, camera manual devourer, and the kind of person who’ll get the shot you didn’t even know you needed.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
Once you’ve reached out, we’ll schedule a discovery call to learn about your story, your style, and your vision. After that, we’ll walk you through our seamless booking process and coordinate a time to scout your venue. If you’re working with a planner, we’re happy to collaborate directly—we’re all about making your day smooth, intentional, and stress-free.
On the day of your wedding or session, we work in sync—Sam leads with artistry and warmth, while Eric captures the unscripted magic. Together, we create a relaxed, joyful environment where you can simply be yourself and trust that the photos will be unforgettable.
