We love Raina!
From our first meeting with Raina, we knew we vibed well with her and I'm so thankful that we booked her for our wedding. Raina is amazing - probably the most responsive vendor I worked with. She and her second shooter were both so fun to work with and captured our wedding day perfectly! Her photos are spectacular and we got a preview not even a week after our wedding... the blog post was such a nice touch to be able to share with people. Definitely book her!!

WOW WOW WOW! Absolutely incredible experience!
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!
