About

I've witnessed many beautiful in-between moments of life through my lens & have made it my goal to create imagery that is full of connection & emotion. I have a photojournalistic approach mixed with editorial + natural posing.
But I'm not here to get the "perfect shot" -& that's saying a lot for a virgo- I want to capture those perfectly imperfect feelings, intimate moments you can hold onto, relive & hang on your walls as proof that you have loved.

Perfectly captured the magic!

Ruth perfectly captured the magical atmosphere of our dreamy desert wedding! My husband and I don’t take a lot of pictures, so we aren’t always comfortable in front of the camera. Ruth & her assistant were both wonderful, with prompts that made us feel completely at ease and produced beautiful, natural photos.

It was blindingly bright out for much of the afternoon, and I really don’t know how she was able to get so many large group photos without most of the guests blinking! I felt like I was squinting the whole time, but you would never know from the photos. It is challenging to capture detail in the darks during a bright day, but her editing was top notch.

We booked her for 8 hours, which covered the end of ‘getting ready’ until mid-way through the dancing. It was well worth getting an assistant, who was able to capture many more photos of the groom & groomsmen, the venue, and the guests! We couldn’t recommend her more highly, and are thankful to have such a lovely record of our wedding.

Amazing Photographer!

Ruth was amazing, wonderful, and pleasant to work with. She was able to capture our big day organically and the photos were stunning. She was fun to work with, accommodating, and made us feel relaxed and at ease. Her turnaround time was fast and we absolutely LOVED every single photo. We would recommend her to any friends or family for any events!

Book Ruth immediately for everything!

Had the absolute best experience working with Ruth for our engagement photos in Palm Springs! She has a true knack for making people comfortable and capturing the best of them. She had the fastest turnaround time and great editing style, and we are absolutely in love with all of our photos. We had never been to Palm Springs before, and she made it so easy for us to prep for our shoot and get all the necessary details in a good place. Book with Ruth ASAP - you will be so glad you did!

The best photographer we could've chosen

This review is overdue! Ruth was amazing, wonderful, and pleasant to work with. She was so flexible, we changed dates about three times due to COVID-19 and she was always responsive and supportive through the process. On the wedding day, she was full of energy, very easy going, made us laugh and it almost felt she was part of our family and friends circle. All of our guests enjoyed her energy and we LOVED all the hard work she did to make sure we looked amazing in all of our photos. If I do a reception next year or need another photoshoot in the future I will definitely go with Ruth! Thank you for capturing our beautiful day, Ruth!!!

She's amazing!

Seriously, no matter where she takes the pictures or what kind of pictures they are, they always turn out amazing! And she's so calm and helpful during the picture taking process. She's really good!!! 10/10! My husband and I are not cheesy at all, but you'd have no idea from looking at our pictures lol.

By far the best photographer I have ever worked with! Ruth never disappoints and always goes above and beyond. The quality of her work is beyond 5 star. I can not say enough great things about her.

I've worked with Ruth and Cole in the past, so it was a no-brainer to use them for my wedding. Their use of natural light is gorgeous and the final product is always stunning. They have great ideas and they are open to any ideas you might have or shots you might want. They are dynamic, fun, and professional. I highly recommend Ruth and Cole for weddings, engagements, babies, families, etc!

Ruth and Cole were Beyond Great! They work so well together and we couldn't have been happier with our wedding photos. My husband and I also loved our wedding album that Ruth and Cole put together. We could not be more pleased with our choice to go with Ruth and Cole to capture every moment of our big day! They're the best, and it was the best decision we made.

We had a great experience with Ruth Marie Photography! They took our engagement and wedding photos and both experiences were great! During our engagement shoot the weather was very hot and tons of flies but looking at our photos you would never know!!!! Our wedding was obviously a big commotion of people and emotions but Ruth and Cole were able to accommodate our large and crazy event and we loved the calm and positive energy they showed us! The pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined and we are so thankful to have such beautiful memories!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
