I'm an elopement photographer, because I believe eloping couples deserve to have wedding days that are full of comfort, playfulness, and adventure somewhere stunningly gorgeous with zero stress! <3. I specialize in Glacier National Park and Western North Carolina elopements and love to serve couples with unlimited planning assistance.

“We were SO blessed to have Des. She is so much more than a photographer. She has become our biggest hype girl and such a close friend, since working working with her. She will take such excellent care of you and make sure that you have a day that is an honest reflection of your relationship. She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.”

“My fiancé (now husband) found Casie for us during the wedding planning process, and I immediately fell in love with her work! Her darker style was exactly what I was looking for and her wedding engagement package is extremely well priced. Working with her felt like meeting up with an old friend. I was very worried about how I would feel about posing and if I would look awkward and she did such an amazing job directing me in a way that felt natural. I have not received a picture from her that I do not like. Casie also made the planning process so easy. She even met with me over facetime to address some anxiety I was having regarding the timeline. I ended up adding 2 hours to the photography package (again, very reasonably priced). Overall, I genuinely have nothing bad to say about Casie and her work. She is a joy to work with, her work is incredible, and she is such a fun person to be around!”

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“Amazing experience from start to finish! Raiana was Professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable. The photos turned out beautiful, natural, and perfectly captured the moments. Highly recommend!”

Her artistic eye shows in every single photo—the detail and beauty she captured is incredible, and we've already heard so many compliments from our guests.

He's extremely creative, very professional, and also had great fun ideas on-site with how to use the unique features of the backyard were married in. I was especially moved by the documentary-style photos of family members just being themselves. I'll treasure those forever. Mehmet is so talented. Can't say enough glowing things. If you're looking for documentary-style, book with him!!! He is talented and skilled at his craft.”

Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

“Candy was very responsive and clear about everything, which made planning so easy. On the day of our wedding, she had this infectious energy that put everyone at ease—especially during those one-on-one shots that can feel awkward. Her photos are stunning; the candids capture real moments and the posed shots look like they belong in a magazine, with colors that just pop off the page. She went above and beyond to catch every beautiful and silly moment, which is exactly what we wanted. Candy is genuinely so incredibly talented and made our day feel special. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who actually cares about their couples and delivers incredible work.”
