Saint Cloud, MN and Worldwide

At the heart of Kiarra Rae Photography is a simple belief: real life is worth remembering exactly as it is. I focus on all the quiet gestures, honest interactions, and small details that make your story uniquely yours. These are the moments that often go unnoticed, yet carry the most meaning.
My approach is rooted in presence, inclusion, empathy, and trust. I create space for you to simply be yourself while I capture moments that feel true to who you are. The result is timeless, heartfelt imagery that lets you revisit and relive your memories in their most authentic form.

Storytelling through the details of in-between moments.

DOCUMENTING LOVE in its truest form SINCE 2016

I’m a Saint Cloud, Minnesota based wedding photographer specializing in capturing genuine moments and all the little details of your big day. Outside of photography, I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Dreydin, and I love a warm cup of coffee, traveling, and being an auntie.

My goal with every wedding I photograph is to preserve the real emotions and fleeting moments that tell your story. I strive to create images that feel true to you so your memories can be cherished forever.

Oh hey, I'm Kiarra!
