meet Your adventure elopement photographer

Your adventure planner and elopement photographer.

Hey, I'm Raine!

You’re dreaming of a day that feels less like a production and more like an adventure. Quiet moments, big views, and a story that’s completely your own. That’s where I come in. I help you plan an intentional elopement experience and capture it in a way that feels alive, emotional, and true to you.

I started out photographing landscapes, capturing the feeling of awe that wild places gave me. Over time, I realized I wanted to capture that same feeling of connection but with people in love, surrounded by the wild places that inspired me from the start.

Before photographing elopements, I spent five years producing music festivals and creative gatherings, learning how to bring structure to big, beautiful dreams. Now, I blend that experience with my love for the outdoors to guide couples through every detail: location scouting, timelines, permits, and everything in between. You get to focus on each other while I handle the rest.

Tiny Home Living on the California coast

I live in a tiny home in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a quiet space surrounded by ocean air, morning fog rolling through the trees and the sound of the forest. It’s a lifestyle that values freedom and simplicity, where everything I need fits within reach. That same spirit of living intentionally and embracing what matters most inspires how I help you craft your wedding day.

Hiking, chasing the seasons &
all things adventure

When I’m not photographing couples, you’ll probably find me on a trail or soaking in a hidden hot spring somewhere in the mountains.

I love chasing the beauty of changing seasons from spring wildflowers to autumn aspen groves or moody coastal fog. Exploring nature this way fuels my creativity and keeps me inspired to find one-of-a-kind backdrops for every couple I work with.

we're a perfect fit!

And Why It Matters for Your Elopement

I grew up exploring the Pacific Northwest's endless forests, fog, and thundering waterfalls. I picked up a camera simply to capture the way those places made me feel: peaceful, small, and deeply connected. But over time, I realized I didn’t just want to document wild places, I wanted to help people experience them.

For years, I focused on photographing  landscapes alongside running an event production company, where I learned the art of creating meaningful experiences, coordinating travel, managing timelines, and handling all the behind-the-scenes logistics that bring a vision to life.

Now I use that same experience to help couples plan elopements that feel spontaneous yet stress-free. I’ll guide you through permits, travel, timelines, and all the behind-the-scenes logistics so you can focus on what matters: your connection.
