  Fantastic experience!

  We worked with Riley for our elopement and had a wonderful experience. We are not the type of people who are typically comfortable in front of a camera, but Riley was able to calm our nerves just moments into our photo session. She is incredibly skilled at posing her subjects without making it look or feel forced. Her turnaround time is also great, we got our photos back in about a week. We were super impressed with the results and highly recommend Riley for your wedding or elopement!

  Amazing Photographer!

  Riley is and always has been so amazing to work with. She knew every little detail of of our wedding and captured it all so beautifully. Each photo tells a story and really speaks to Riley’s serious attention to detail. I cannot have imagined our wedding photos being any better than what Riley created for us.

  Portrait Photorapher

  Riley was amazing to work with! She shot some official portraits for us after our elopement and was flexible and fun. We loved the result and got photos back quickly! I’d definitely recommend working her!

  Organized and talented!

  I was the mother of the bride and found Riley through Wedding Wire for my daughter. She was very professional from the first phone call through the wedding! What impressed me most was how thorough and organized she was... she kept the day together for us and made sure she captured everything my daughter and son in law needed. The photos are lovely! Thanks Riley!

  So fun and easy to work with

  My husband and I decided to host our ceremony and reception on separate days and do a few other non-traditional things, and no matter what we threw at her, Riley was flexible and accommodating. My dad was incredibly impressed with how she wrangled the large groups for photos and powered us through the many family photos I requested. She selected beautiful places to shoot our first look and couple shots following our ceremony, which she kept light, fun, and painless (my husband is very camera shy and even he had fun with it). She was professional with every member of our family, but with the two of us she kept it casual and comfortable, and as brief as we requested. The photos came out beautifully and really captured the love and joy of both events. We are beyond grateful for Riley and highly recommend!

  My favorite vendor!

  Riley was my favorite vendor out of all that we booked for our wedding. I actually have a lot of experience in front of the camera, so I'm pretty used to dealing with all kinds of photographers. But Riley stood out to me with her approach and her results. Her technique was really natural and relaxed, and yet the photos had this stylistic flair to them that only reflected her skill and talent. We put so much effort into our wedding and thanks to Riley we have lasting, gorgeous photos as keepsakes for our special day and those we celebrated with.

  Beautiful work! Awesome photographer!

  I'll be real - my husband and I are NOT models by any stretch of the word. Hiring a photographer felt like trying to find a diamond in the haystack for someone to mesh with us. Long story short, Riley is super real in her approach and we liked that from the beginning. She's down to earth and helpful with poses, and the engagement session really helped break the ice to prep us for the big day. On top of all that, the pictures are perfect. We didn't think we'd be the type to hang up photos of us around the house, but now thanks to Riley we are ordering our prints through her. Definitely recommend.

  We had a last-minute wedding that Riley was super accommodating for. She was prompt in her responses and willing to meet with us in person ASAP to finalize details. We were kind of stressing about finding the right photographer after hearing stories from our friends, but Riley made it seamless...not only that, but her work speaks for itself. Super glad she could squeeze us in!

  Riley shot our engagement and wedding and we loved her!We wanted to make sure our love for the city was a part of our engagement shoot and she knew so many awesome places to make Boston shine. We also found her easy to relax around... which was refreshing because being in front of a camera is intimidating for both of us. we had a BIG day planned and she stuck to the timeline and made sure to get everything we wanted. Honestly she was super prepared and organized and we're glad we chose her!

  Riley photographed our wedding and she was so awesome. She put me at ease and I am generally not comfortable having my photo taken. Everyone in our wedding party thought she was great, and so far all of the photos we've seen have been fantastic! I will recommend her to everyone!

  Riley West Photography's reply:

  Lindsey, weddings like yours are the reason I love my job. It was such a pleasure photographing the joy and creative energy abound in your August wedding. I had a smile on my face so much throughout the day that it hurt in the best way after, haha. Congratulations to you both!

  We were drawn to Riley because of her use of color and natural light, and the warmth in her images. On top of all that, when we met her she was also timely, friendly, and really cared about getting to know us! I’ve been in front of the camera before but my husband hadnt really. Riley had no trouble getting him to open up during our engagement session, and I cherish the shots she got of us laughing together! On our wedding day, things got a little hectic with all the guests and the weather, but she stuck to an organized and efficient timeline so that we got all the images we wanted and more. We both recommend her to anyone looking for quality photographs of their wedding!

  Riley is top notch! She made sure to go above and beyond. During our engagement session, it rained, but she was creative and totally made it work. She's very clever with her framing, and we loved seeing that in our images. Photos were the most important part of our wedding day to us, and we are so lucky we hired her to capture it! If you want someone who loves their job and is good at it, grab Riley.

  I really didn't think I liked having my picture taken, and neither did my husband. But then we booked Riley. From the get-go, she was nothing but professional. Not only that, though, she was also a perfect balance of relaxed and creative. She knew exactly how to balance posed portraits with natural elements in both our engagement and our wedding day. I loved the in-between moments she captured too...we can't stop looking at these. THANK you, Riley!

  Riley was fantastic! We barely knew we she was there and the images she got were exactly what we wanted. She also gave a lot thought to our engagement session to make it truly unique and us.

  My husband and I chose Riley because we've seen her work with others in our town and knew she'd be the one to capture our special day. we were spot on! Almost a year later and we still can't stop looking at our photos. She got them back to us on time as outlined in her contract... they might have even come early! the lighting in the chapel was really dark and not ideal, but she made a creative spin on it that gave us beautiful artistic images. we were so relieved and pleased. I've followed her other creative work for several years and now that she shoots weddings I have to say, choose her!

  Riley photographed my wedding last summer in NC. We were able to relax around her, and my husband who HATES pictures not only didn't mind the photos, but had fun with them too! She also wasn't phased at all by the many, many family members that were in the wedding and needed portraits done. And trust me, there were LOTS! She had no problem directing upwards of 25 people in a single photo. She's also extremely good at posing and that was super helpful in our engagement shoot - but also she made us laugh, which made for great candids as well. Best of both worlds! I'd recommend Riley-she cares about what she does, and will make sure you love what you get.
