Planning an elopement can feel overwhelming, from locations and permits to figuring out how to make the day flow naturally. I'm here to make it simple.
I'll guide you through every step, from logistics to photos, helping you design a day that feels natural, organized, and stress-free.
You’ll walk away with a once-in-a-lifetime experience documented with images that not only look beautiful, but bring you right back to how it all felt for years to come.
Before Raine, our elopement plans were vague and open to minimal capture. But within minutes of talking to Raine, we suddenly realized what was a loose idea to get spontaneously married suddenly felt structured, real, grounded, and something worth investing in to remember for a lifetime! Our photos are perfect and the memories associated with taking them are purely joyous and fun. Raine is truly a pleasure to work with and you can’t beat his ability to capture the love, scenery, and beyond.
I’ll help you find the most breathtaking locations that fit your vision, drawing from years of experience exploring the wild corners of Yosemite, Tahoe, Big Sur, Joshua Tree and beyond.
I'll share my recs for local vendors from florists, to hair + makeup artists, lodging and exciting activities tailored to your preferences.
Whether it’s a sunrise hike, paddle boarding, or a soak in a hidden hot springs, I’ll help you plan a day that feels like an adventure, not an itinerary.
I'll present a few timeline options for you, taking into account the best time of day for lighting at each location, your guest count, your ideal level of adventure, and all the details that make the day flow effortlessly.
From the first call to your final gallery, I’ll guide you through every step with intention. You’ll feel supported, seen, and completely free to enjoy a day that unfolds naturally and reflects your story.
I’ll handle the logistics, from permits to backup locations, so you can have a stress-free day focusing on what truly matters: being together and taking in every moment.
Hey, I’m Raine, the one crafting these packages and the person who’ll be with you every step of the way. I’m endlessly inspired by wild places and the small joys in between (like a perfectly made oat milk latte).
After years of exploring and photographing places like Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur, and Joshua Tree, I’ve come to know these landscapes deeply. That experience allows me to guide you to beautiful locations, handle the logistics, and bring structure and ease to even the most adventurous plans so you can simply show up and be present.
With a background in event production and a love for storytelling, I take care of permits, timelines, and backup plans while capturing your day with intention. You won’t just have a photographer, you’ll have a calm, experienced guide who knows these places by heart.
Imagine waking up in the mountains one day and ending the next by the ocean.
