About Ayla Rae Weddings

Ayla Rae Weddings

A POET WITH A CAMERA IN HER HAND: I’m Ayla — pronounced “eye-luh”, like “I love you” — and I never quite grew out of seeing things the way I did as a kid: heart first, bright eyed, curious about everything and particularly drawn to movement and pretty light. My travels, my writing (certified art school kid), and my big family have brought me from that inquisitive, emotional child to the woman I am today: knee deep in wonder & riverbeds, usually mid-laugh, and so full of gratitude for my life I can hardly contain it to language.

THE MAGIC OF FILM: Your wedding day will be intentional and tender, with a few delightedly unexpected moments that make it all the more memorable. It deserves to be captured on a magnificent organic medium with the same qualities. Digital is fast, intuitive, and sharp, but film is about slowing down, the accidental magic, that perfect gaze. There’s a beautiful quality to light and color on film that digital just can’t replicate. I photograph your wedding on a mix of film mediums, depending on the light & what’s occurring.

    I’m a little late on my review, my husband and I got married dec.30,22 and we came across Ayla through another photographer that wasn’t available and let me tell you that was the best thing that could’ve happened for us! To be genuinely honest Ayla is one of the most caring, kind and considerate people I’ve ever met. She worked with us with our budget and tried to make things the least stressful she could for us through the whole wedding process and on top of all of that the pictures were BEYOND AMAZING! She worked with so much Patience with my huge family and was just so much more than we ever could’ve hoped for. And did both digital and film for us both for engagement photos and wedding. If I could leave her more stars I would! Don’t keep looking for another photographer just book Ayla

    There are simply just not enough words to describe how amazing and special it was to have Ayla as our photographer. We had a small, intimate wedding in Winter Park, Colorado and we truly could not have asked for a more thoughtful, talented, and kind person to capture our day. From the first time we spoke, Ayla has been so helpful and knowledgable, she helped guide us through the entire wedding process and helped make our planning experience truly stress-free. She took the time to scout ceremony locations for us, gave us a list of the most beautiful spots to check out during our trip (our guests couldn't stop talking about them), created timelines for us, gave us an extensive wedding guide that I looked at probably 100 times, and helped us with so much more. There was a storm that rolled in last minute on our wedding day and, morning-of, Ayla helped us replan our entire day to work out in the best way with the rain and it ended up being better than we could have ever imagined. Even with a super short notice that the wedding was moved up two hours, Ayla still found time to hunt down two clear umbrellas for us and picked up on the way to our location. She took immediate action and it felt like every concern was resolved before we could even begin to get stressed about them. We were able to focus on just enjoying the day and she really helped us embrace and find the excitement & beauty in a rainy wedding day. To this day, we still have our friends & family telling us how amazing Ayla was and how lucky we were to find her, and we couldn’t agree more. She made everyone feel so comfortable, both hanging with her and in front of the camera. She felt like a close friend celebrating with us more than a hired photographer. Most of our guests don’t like to be photographed, but because Ayla made everyone feel so natural, she was able to capture some really special & beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. All of our photos are a dream, she captured our day in such a special way and they’re better than we could have EVER imagined. Every tiny, intimate moment was caught so beautifully, looking at them makes us feel like we are right back in that moment. We are so so grateful and lucky that we found her, Ayla is such a special talent and was the very best addition to our big day, we can not recommend her enough!!

  • Highly recommend for any photography needs.

    My wife and I were getting married and chose Ayla as our photographer. From the first messages, she was very responsive and polite. She was a dream to work with. She put all our worries to rest. We talked through things and she offered us a lot of different ideas and options. The day of the wedding, she met us at the venue in Evergreen, Colorado and walked us through what the game plan was. With it being our wedding day, our minds were elsewhere. She took the lead and set us up for the first look. During the ceremony, she was very discreet and professional. After the ceremony, she did the family and couples photos. After that, we headed off to do our photos. The way she posed us and directed us, was very professional and easy. The next morning, we received a message from Ayla telling us to check our email. She gave us the first 12 photos as a sneak peak and we fell in love. She is so good at what she does and we would highly recommend her to anyone in need of photography services.

    Working with Ayla was an absolute dream. From the start I had a whole vision on how I wanted to style our shoot, the vibe of the photos, and a specific location. She listened to every word I had to say and absolutely executed far beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined. She captured my partners and I’s love exactly the way it is. She kept us up to date on the whole entire process. She did all of the research on the location. We requested 3 different cameras and this woman hiked through the national sand dunes with all of her gear like a champ and still KILLED IT. During the shoot she made us feel so comfortable and present in the moment. She perfectly prompted us to get super natural looking poses. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend the whole time we were with her! Ayla sent us previews to hold us over on the excitement and then delivered the whole gallery so quickly after our shoot. When we first saw our gallery we cried like babies. I never thought photos could mean so much to us, but we will cherish these for the rest of our lives. Definitely asking Ayla to shoot every darn milestone in our lives. I seriously don’t have the words to say how happy she has made us and how easy the whole entire process was.
