“I absolutely love your edgy and unique style, as well as your incredible eye for detail. The photos are absolutely gorgeous—exactly what we had hoped for.

We’ve received so many compliments, and I couldn’t recommend you enough as both a photographer and an artist.

Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly!"

“Rue is an outstanding photographer with an exceptional eye for detail. She does not only capture a moment as it is happening, but the emotions involved too. She is truly an artist in her field. My husband and I were very happy when we met with Rue prior to our wedding. She was very friendly and has a funky, edgy personality. She was extremely professional throughout all our meetings, as well as, during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Having never been photographed before, Rue went out of her way to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. This resulted in beautiful, natural pictures. Each picture was incredibly special and told the story of our wedding day exactly as I remember it. What a lovely investment for our future!”

“WHERE does one start saying THANK YOU?! Your photos are ART! Each sweet one has so much character and I can't stop STARING at each photo.   am MORE than happy with your amazing talent with which you blessed us on our big day. We are the happiest couple! Thank you for investing so much care in our entire journey with you. You have become a beloved friend to us. You are truly amazing and in touch with everything you do. Super happy!! THANK YOU!!!!! We both LOVED working with you!! You are the only photographer that can make me and Jaco both feel like nobody's watching. We enjoyed you so much, that we were sad after the wedding- knowing that our time with you is done.”

"Your work is so beautiful and inspired- It' photojournalism meets fine art, while encapsulating a sense of peace. Words don't describe how much I love the way you captured the details of this wedding. I look forward to featuring more of your work." 

~ Monique, Oh darling Days.

We had a wonderful experience with Rue as our wedding photographer!!

Apart from her being highly professional and thoroughly experienced, she does an amazing job at making you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of a camera (this coming from someone who is not at all fond of photos). What makes Rue exceptional is that she is truly an artist who knows how to capture the nuances of your wedding day/event. I highly recommend her!
