Select locations with personal significance and good lighting. Consider the time of day, seasonal conditions, and accessibility for your comfort and optimal results.

Choose outfits that match the location's atmosphere and season. Prioritize comfort while selecting colors and fabrics that photograph well and flatter your figure.

Practice relaxed poses, focus on genuine emotions, and select comfortable settings. Communicate with your photographer to create a personalized approach that highlights your authentic relationship.
How long does a typical wedding photo shoot last?
Most sessions range from 1 to 3 hours depending on the number of locations and shot types. We recommend planning for multiple short segments rather than one continuous session.

Ideal times are during golden hour (1-2 hours before sunset) or overcast days for soft natural lighting. Avoid harsh midday sun for more flattering results in your photographs.

My husband and I eloped in Boulder CO and attempted to find a photographer (albeit last minute) and happened to come across Rayna's website. Rayna did an excellent job from start to finish. We were so incredibly pleased with the quality of the photos and her flexibility. The pictures were also available very shortly after the shoot, which was phenomenal! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a modestly priced and good quality wedding photographer.

My husband and I were extremely happy with our wedding photos! All of our family
and friends loved them. We talked to several other photographers before choosing Rayna. Rayna provided us with an estimate that reflected how much time she would actually need to document our special day. She was spot on! Since we had a very small wedding, we were pleased that we didn't have to pay for unnecessary extra time.

Rayna is amazing! She worked within our budget and gave us everything we wanted! We had a few issues with other vendors but not Rayna. She made everything so easy which made my life much easier. When we first spoke on the phone I knew her personality was something I wanted on my special day. She is so kind and bubbly. Her electricity added to our wedding day! She was fun and had amazing ideas! She truly captured the love and joy of our day, not just ours but all of our guests as well. Looking through the pictures warms my heart and takes me back to the day. She caught everything we wanted and
