We loved working with Rayna!
If you are looking for an elopement photographer in Colorado, don't look further! Since the moment I contacted her she was nothing but helpful. She ask...
ed all the right questions to get an understanding of who we were as a couple and what was important to us in our day. Also, she provided recommendations on every aspect we asked for (location, vendors, restaurant suggestions, etc) since we were not in Colorado and actually it was my first time there
On our elopement day we had a couple hiccups which led us to be a little late, Rayna was very understanding and professional about it. She even helped us carrying our stuff! She has a very fun personality and a great humor which helped us feel comfortable when our pictures were being taken
And obviously, we absolutely LOVED our pictures. Which she sent in a very timely manner :)
Thank you Rayna!
My husband and I loved working with Rayna! She is professional, artistic, and really showed off our personalities in our engagement photos. She also helped us find a beautiful loca...
tion for our session with amazing mountain views which was so important to us. I highly recommend choosing her as your photographer!
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 li...
fe 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 more on camera. We were thoroughly impressed and are very glad we went with Rayna, she webt above and beyond our expectations! We HIGHLY recommend her.
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 provi...
ded 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. Even after we received our photos from her, she was prompt and responsive to any questions I had.
Misleading. Very Disappointing. Unprofessional.
I met Rayna last October at a Bridal Show in Evergreen, Co. I have to say she stood out among the rest. A few weeks later I met wi...
th her and thought that she would be the perfect fit for my special day. We instantly hit off & I felt relieved to have found my photographer so quickly, especially being new to the Denver area.
After our meeting, Rayna put together a pricey package along with a complimentary engagement session if we decided to book with her. After reviewing the all details, My Fiance Jesse and I decided to book her and gave our deposit. (Our first mistake)
Shortly after Mid November early December Jesse & I reached out to Rayna about scheduling our complimentary Engagement session. We expressed to her that we wanted to do a fun winter photo shoot to show our family & friends the true beauty of our new home state. Not knowing the area I expressed to Rayna what look we were going for and asked for her expertise. She suggested a few places non of which suited what we were looking for. So we compromised on a location & picked a date. As the date it got closer Rayna sent us an email explaining that she was unable to go out in temperatures lower than 50 degrees due to a "cold allergy" and need to reschedule. As you can imagine this being my first time hearing this I was appalled. After a half dozen emails & phone calls back and forth talking about our Winter Engagement session options, she waits until the week we decided to shoot that its too cold for her to go outside! Seriously you live in Colorado?!
*Side note: I'm a nurse been working in healthcare for 8 years. Never have I ever heard of such a thing!
Long story short.. Jesse & I decided that Rayna was not what we had hoped for & decided to terminate our contract.
Here we are 5 months later & Rayna is still refusing to give us back our deposit, she claims that she is unable to re-book our date therefore the deposit is now non-refundable.
Rayna is a true artist! She has that "eye" for the right shot. She also really listened to what my husband and I wanted...my family is messy, and Rayna kindly and professionally ma...
de sure that I got the pictures I wanted. The photos and the album I have I will cherish forever!!!
If I could recommend Rayna with an even higher status, I would. She was EXCELLENT from start to finish. I was nervous about hiring an out of state photographer for a number of reas...
ons. I found her studio online and was immediately impressed with her style and her eye. I completed the online questionnaire and explained that we just wanted our ceremony captured and a handful of photos of us and our family afterward (we're pretty simplistic and easy going). I spoke to Rayna a few times on the phone and she eased my nerves about her plans and told me all about the location (I hadn't been there yet either . . . we did everything online). Once I met her (at the ceremony), she walked us through the plan for her and her partner, gave us some brief instructions, and then she disappeared behind the lens. The pictures they captured absolutely blew us away. Everyone we have shown them too agree and often compliment that they're they most beautiful wedding photos they've ever seen. After the wedding, Rayna uploaded some sneak peek photos to her blog super quickly which was exciting. We had our edited link and flash drive faster than initially promised. It has been wonderful to work with Rayna and I would recommend her to everyone. She is amazing and passionate at what she does and is easy to work with - the perfect combination. She definitely captured our wedding day perfectly! So HAPPY!
Rayna is a fantastic photographer and a great friend.
We have known her for many years as a fellow Pittsburgh-based climber before she went off to Colorado, and she was the only...
person invited twice to our wedding: once as a guest and once as a photographer.
She managed both duties flawlessly: she made sure to get all the key wedding shots, and was of course great fun as a guest.
She's a very professional photographer: she was excellent with the family session mayhem, had tons of ideas for cool shots (and made sure we got ours as well), and was willing to work with what we were comfortable with.
The best part was the day after our celebration; my wife and I went rock climbing in our wedding attire and Rayna took some of the coolest photos of us out there.
Since she's an excellent climber as well as photographer we knew she could take care of herself while getting some really memorable shots from hard-to-reach places.
The final photos came out perfectly and we couldn't be happier.
Rayna is by far the best photographer and we absolutely loved all of the photos, every one of them felt so natural and we loved that we weren't forced into painfully awkward weddin...
g poses for an hour! Rayna and her second photographer teamed up to get all of the shots from every angle to make sure that every moment was captured and not a thing was missed! We were blown away when we saw the pictures from our wedding and couldn't have asked for anything more, she is amazing!
Rayna and her assistant worked seamlessly throughout our wedding ceremony and reception and managed to capture moments we didn't even get to experience that day. They were extremel...
