Services Offered
Raina understands that each wedding is as unique as the couple getting married, and she aims to capture the individuality of each event. She believes that two partners’ nuptials are a reflection of their story so she creates a visual narrative of the celebration. An experience with GEM Photography begins with a consultation so she can get to know soon-to-be newlyweds and their vision. She offers an engagement session and planning assistance so that on the big day, new spouses can spend time with each other and their guests.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Raina! Not only are our photos absolutely gorgeous, but Raina went above and beyond to make our day special. My husband and I are forever grateful for her for documenting our wedding and giving us the most beautiful photos to preserve our memories. GEM Photography is absolutely top notch and we will be clients for LIFE! When we start our family, Raina will be our first call for photos. GEM Photography is a 5 star experience. There is no better photographer out there!
