About

Hi there! I'm Rayna and I'm a rock climbing, animal loving, travel addicted smartass who happens to also be a wedding + elopement photographer.

I specialize in small, intimate weddings and elopements for active couples. Why, you ask? Because my couples are awesome. And because I love working with like minded people who see the world the same way that I do.

One of my favorite couples described me as the most unenchanted wedding photographer ever, because while I love small, intimate weddings, elopements and the idea of marriage, I think most weddings suck.

Why? Because I believe that *most* weddings are designed around the guest, parental expectations and what people "think they should do".

I think that's total crap. I believe a wedding is about the couple and should be celebrated the way the couple truly wants it to be. Which for my couples usually means a very small, intimate ceremony or an elopement with just the two of them.

So if you're looking to say your vows with 20 guests or less, on top of the world, out in the dessert or with your sand in the toes (or really anywhere in between), send me a message and let's chat!

We loved working with Rayna!
If you are looking for an elopement photographer in Colorado, don't look further! Since the moment I contacted her she was nothing but helpful. She asked all the right questions to get an understanding of who we were as a couple and what was important to us in our day. Also, she provided recommendations on every aspect we asked for (location, vendors, restaurant suggestions, etc) since we were not in Colorado and actually it was my first time there
On our elopement day we had a couple hiccups which led us to be a little late, Rayna was very understanding and professional about it. She even helped us carrying our stuff! She has a very fun personality and a great humor which helped us feel comfortable when our pictures were being taken
And obviously, we absolutely LOVED our pictures. Which she sent in a very timely manner :)
Thank you Rayna!

Rayna is amazing!
She worked within our budget and gave us everything we wanted! We had a few issues with other vendors but not Rayna. She made everything so easy which made my life much easier.
When we first spoke on the phone I knew her personality was something I wanted on my special day. She is so kind and bubbly. Her electricity added to our wedding day! She was fun and had amazing ideas! She truly captured the love and joy of our day, not just ours but all of our guests as well. Looking through the pictures warms my heart and takes me back to the day. She caught everything we wanted and more on camera. We were thoroughly impressed and are very glad we went with Rayna, she webt above and beyond our expectations! We HIGHLY recommend her.
