elopements & weddings
The frills are just add-ons. at the end of the day,
the most important part of your love story is you.
Raise your hand if you've found the love of your life
I specialize in adventure elopements & weddings in stunning landscapes. My approach to photography is to combine out-of-this-world snapshots with down-to-earth moments—to create a visual story that is artistic, adventurous, and authentic.
My style is cinematic, capturing the beautiful environment around you while still focusing on your story. I've shot weddings everywhere from Big Sur to the Oregon Coast, from towering redwoods to mountain sunsets to stunning cliffsides.
Your wedding day is the culmination of every way you care about each other. Secret tears, inside jokes, moments alone – all of those contribute to the greater story. From the excitement of getting ready, to seeing the love of your life, to when it hits you and you realize 'wait, we're married!' – I'm there to capture every minute.
No matter your background, who you love, or how you got here, your journey deserves more than just photos; it deserves a gorgeous visual narrative that captures the essence of your relationship.

countdown
The big day has arrived. Whether we're together for a few hours or a few days, I'll make sure we grab those romantic, candid, and cinematic shots that you're looking for. I'll check in throughout our time together to make sure you're feeling comfortable and having a good time!
So we vibe really well – that's great! Sign the contract, put down your retainer fee, and we'll stay in touch throughout your planning process to make sure that we're on the same page about everything from timelines to photo expectations to anything else you might need.
You'll receive some fully edited sneak peeks within 48 hours, and the final gallery 8-10 weeks after we work together. From there, get your favorites out into the world. Hang them up on your walls, show them to everyone, and make sure to tag @riyakphoto when you post them!
After you reach out over email, let's hop on a video call! I'm very intentional about which elopements & weddings I work on – after all, I want to make sure I can put my heart and soul into photography for the couples I work with – so the first step is to always checking that we're a good fit!
