New Year ... yet ANOTHER NEW BLOG!!!

Looking for up to the minute news and happenings of Lindsey Rae Photography?! Well then let me introduce you to my new blog ...



NEW BLOG

Melaine & Mark | Engaged!

I met Melanie at David & Eboni's wedding last May, so I was thrilled when she contacted me to photograph her engagement pictures! We decided to meet at the Swan Pond in Boston Commons and had a blast roaming around finding places to take pictures. They are planning a destination wedding in the Bahamas! From what she has told me, it is going to be BEAUTIFUL! :)

For the Love of Music

If I wasn't meant to be a photographer, then I would have been a musician. Luckily for all of us, photography worked out ;)

Music has been with me every step of the way, I remember as a kid blasting my Mom's Michael Jackson records as I readied my self for the day, singing into the hair brush of course! Driving up the main street of downtown Annapolis, senior year of high school with my best friends, blasting Sir Mix A Lot, "I Like Big Butts" and dancing like crazy people. Yes, I was that person ... lol, what can I say, I'm a dork! In college, it was Coldplay's album, "Parachutes," which kept me relaxed and sane those long nights in the darkroom.

But I will always remember the moment I was introduced to Nina Simone. I was setting up my senior thesis for my BFA, it was a audio/visual installation about domestic violence, and this guy I kinda knew, walks in to check it out. After experiencing the installation he said, "here ... you need to hear this". It was Nina, singing, "Four Women", her deep voice filled with melancholy and paired with lyrics which portrayed deceptive love and loss. Goose bumps ran up my arms and I was hooked.

So, what's the point of this blog post, I mean really, I am a wedding and portrait photographer, why am I rambling on (hello, Led Zeppelin)? The point is two of my loves have collided and recently I find myself photographing a lot of great bands and musicians. Because of which I have decided to launch a secondary blog dedicated to the images I capture along my musical travels.

Please check out my new blog, For The Love of Music and leave comments! I love to hear what you think or if there is a musician or band you would suggest I should check out!

Head Shots | Brianna

Everyone, this one of my many sisters, Brianna! I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers, but we can talk about that another day!

Isn't she pretty!? While I was home for Thanksgiving Bri, Chelsea, and I went to downtown Annapolis for a photo-shoot!

Gina & Aly | December 1, 2009 | Brockton, MA

Gina is the cutest ever, and man, does this girl GOT IT TOGETHER! Gina and Aly decided to have a quiet and intimate ceremony in their home. It was really a wonderful moment they shared with us, as they made a promise to each other, their family, and friends of everlasting love as well as a promise that in 5 years they would renew their vows in front of all their loved ones. Here are a couple of my favorites from the evening ...

Happy New Year's | 2010

Just a quick shot I grabbed while at First Night!

Renee & Ben | October 9th, 2009 | Newport, RI

I was so excited and honored to be Renee and Ben's wedding photographer! You see, Ben and I were friends in high school and although we lost touch through the years, so it was awesome that he and Renee thought of me to photograph their wedding :) Ok, now I know I've said before "oh, they are so in love ..." but ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! These two are freaking CRAZY in love and it made my day so much easier!

They held their wedding at the Ocean Cliff Hotel in beautiful Newport, RI. The ceremony began as the sun was setting, over looking the water, surrounded by their closets family and friends. Renee & Ben's wedding day was truly one filled with elegance and romance. Enough of my rambling though, on to the pictures!
