Hi, there! I’m Rae. I‘m your hype woman, best friend, fill-in coordinator, and the one who makes sure you look good on your most special days. If you don’t vibe with your wedding photographer, don’t hire them! We‘re the ones around all day! Good vibes are everything.
I created KSmithson Photography over 8 years ago with the mission to create timeless photos that capture raw emotion. Since then, I‘ve shot over 200 weddings! I love making connections with people and pushing my knowledge of photography so I can continue to grow and create creative, one-of-a-kind images that you and your partner will cherish forever.
When I’m not shooting weddings you can find me at the local dog shelter volunteering (so I can be around ALL the dogs) or sinking my toes in sand by an ocean.
Hello! I’m Kass, your second lead shooter- the one behind the zoom lens. I love capturing the millions of small moments that happen during the day. Those moments that often slip by without noticing- those ones that want to be loved, but don’t ask for it. I love using my time to focus on the other half of the equation and the special way the guests love the couples.
A little bit about me- I come from a small town in Florida called Niceville. Cliche sounding, I know, but true. Living in a small town made me crave to see the world -things dangerous to come to – and to feel, life. So, that’s just what I did. For 4 years I lived with my partner in a self-converted Fire Rescue truck named Samson. You can catch me chasing the light, the cold, and the best hikes in the country.
Authentic Captures
Our aim is to tell the story of your event. We want to capture photos that tell of how the emotions unfold throughout your day. While we do help with some initial posing, we move away from it as quickly as possible to get those beautiful candid photos that tell the story of who you truly are.
Authentic People
We love what we do. For us, photography is about loving life and the community of people around us. We want to provide our clients with story telling photos that showcase the grand tale of how they truly lived. We want our photos to express the real you. The entirely unique and beautiful you.
Award Winning Photos
We are proud to announce that our photos have received several awards throughout our near-decade in business. Not only has KSmithson Photography won several Couple’s Choice Awards, but our recognition has allowed us to shoot for high profile clients like TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé.

“Amazing photographer!! Quick Turnaround and Positive Attitude All Day
Cannot say enough good things about Rae. She was easy to talk to prior and was happy to discuss all my ideas of what I wanted for the big day. She instantly made us feel comfortable and was so positive throughout the entire day. Her turnaround time wasn’t too long and I loved getting the previews shortly after. I’m so happy we decided to work with her and have her capture our best day”

“Absolutely wonderful!!
This duo is INCREDIBLE!! They did our photography for our VA Mountain wedding and absolutely surpassed any expectations my husband and I had. Our family truly was also amazed at the quality of work that they delivered and only wished they were closer so they could hire them for other events!
