I’m into that sort of love that is almost cheesy. That staring into each others eyes amazed that the other person chose you kind. Smiling, laughing, and crying because it is the happiest moment of your life. I’m into those couples who aren’t afraid to be goofy, do silly poses, or whatever it takes to get them the photos they want. I want to create authentic memories and magical moments, and give them to you to look at every day. I pride myself in constantly striving to deliver the best, most authentic photos for my clients.
The couples who book me as a wedding photographer, hire me not just for my photographic style, but for my personality. Going hand in hand, it assures them in knowing they’re getting exactly what they hope for. Fun, silly, but always going the extra mile to make sure your day is amazing (even if it’s bustling your dress, cutting your cake, or acting as your coordinator!)
I offer many different things in my packages, including dedicating time to help you make a specific timeline for your wedding day, to ensure you are not stress about making sure every magical moment is captured. From the time I meet my couples, whether it’s at a consultation, engagement shoot, or the day of the wedding, we’re going to feel like we have known each other forever. I’m going to make you feel so comfortable, even if you’re the most awkward taking photos (ME, SAME.) I am going to holler how beautiful you are, call you a goddess while you’re modeling, shriek at your gorgeous decorations and all the hard work you put into this day, and I will 110% cry during your vows and your kiss. I will bustle your dress, make sure your day is running on time, and MAKE sure you’re eating and drinking (WATER as well as your party drinks). By the end of the day it’s likely I’ll be dancing at your ceremony, because lets face it I love to dance and party songs get me every time. But the NUMBER ONE GOAL of mine, is to capture all these special moments, and capture them just right for you. I love that candid, no one is watching kind of love. The shared kisses, hand squeezes, and tears that come with the amazing feeling of this day. And I will make sure to capture it all.
Oh my gosh!! Words can not explain how incredible raven and her second shooter Kendra were. They were a dream. I loved every moment working with them and they made me smile and laugh all day long. My wedding pictures are absolutely incredible. I could not believe it. I told my husband they are like pictures of other people's weddings you see and think yours would never look like that, but they do. Raven and Kendra worked closely side by side with my videographer and became the dream team. Not only were they photographers but they acted as my coordinator all day and night as well making sure I had food, water anything I need constantly checking on me. I am so grateful and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't choose anyone else!! I will 100% recommend raven to all my friends. She was the sweetest and most brilliant person to work with and absolutely adorable. Thank you so much raven.

Over the top!
Raven is fabulous!! She arrived to our beautiful mess of a bridal suite to take getting ready pictures and she immediately got to work! She blended in well with the chaos of makeup, hairsprays, and Prosecco filled ladies! She took every request made and had super fun ideas for very cute and memorable moments!
My dream was to take first look pictures at the Joshua Tree Nationals Park and she delivered on it! I love how she didn’t hesitate my request and we made a little pre ceremony caravan road trip! Driving to and from the park gave us scared time to talk about ourselves and share stories.
She asked if I had a planner. I thought it was an interesting question but I later found out when she generously offered her time to dismiss each table to the buffet line. I didn’t even think about assigning this job! I was so thankful!
When the dancing started, the fun began! My girlfriends still brag about how fun it was to have Raven around! She fit in our crazy teacher party tribe so perfectly! My cousin told me the next day that Raven was beep popping all over the place!! He was so impressed! She was so fast moving from one place to another trying to capture every shot!
I feel like Raven was a huge blessing to our special day. You put so much time and money into planning this special day, pictures are the one thing you will have forever and ever, and when those pictures have been taken by a lovely individual that leaves you with a smile on your face, then you have hit the wedding day bliss jackpot!
It was an honor having Raven as our photographer.
-one happy bride

Perfect Day
Everything advertised on Raven’s website about her business and herself are 100000% true. We had a photographer cancel on us kind of last minute and she totally stepped up to the plate. We didn’t have the opportunity to have our engagement photos done by her so we were a little nervous having never met or worked with her before, but the second we did meet all nerves were gone. The day was hectic but she went with the flow and it was just a pleasure getting to have her there! We’ve only seen a few previews but they are INSANE. Thanks again!
