We hired Riany for our engagement shoot and wedding. I can’t express enough how talented she is. She absolutely rocked both!!!
Everyone at our wedding was saying how professional ...
and efficient she was, while still being kind, funny and guiding. And we had a rowdy crew, and she was still able to get every shot we wanted with time to spare! She is an on the spot thinker and has given us some of the greatest photos we will ever have!
She delivered our preview in less than 24 hours, and I can’t wait to see the rest of our wedding photos! But she has just been so great throughout all of this I couldn’t wait to come and give her a review!! She’s amazing, hire her!
Riany went above and beyond for us on our big day and during the whole planning process! She made everything feel easy on the wedding day and was such a joy to be around! She was a...
ble to give us a polaroid album on the night of our wedding, gave us our sneak peak photos the very next morning and turned around our whole album at the two week mark! We are forever grateful to Riany for all of her hard work and for making our day so beautifully memorable.
Riany was absolutely incredible to work with! We did both our engagement shoot and wedding with her - she made both experiences so enjoyable and the photos are stunning. Riany has ...
a way of immediately making you feel at ease in what can sometimes be an awkward situation if you are not use to being in front of a camera! For our wedding, she caught the small moments of smiles, hugs, happy tears, and love, not only between my husband and I, but with our guests. I had a request of her capturing us "stopped in time", and she found a creative, fun way to make it happen, and it is one of my favorite photos from our wedding. I have received so many compliments from my wedding party, family, and guests about how wonderful Riany is as a person, and how stunning her work is. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely be hiring her for life events in the future!
Riany is amazing! We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding pictures. Riany also provided a sneak peek the morning after our wedding which was quick and amazing to wake up to. In...
the package we chose we got an engagement session, timeline coordination, full access to the photos, AND the cutest polaroid album. The polaroid album was such a nice touch and added something special.
I highly recommend doing the engagement shoot too because we got to know Riany more and it made the wedding day go even smoother (also the pictures are just phenomenal). Riany is easy to talk to, professional, and overall fun to work with. She knew exactly what she was doing and knew how to usher people around to get pictures done efficiently so you can just enjoy the day. I was worried the day was going to feel like a photoshoot, but we got our posed portraits done and then got the beautiful candids throughout the day/night.
Seriously, book Riany! I know we will be booking her for any future family shoots. Thank you so much Riany!!
Riany is a true gem. She took the time to get to know us as a couple during our engagement shoot, and the photos came out reflecting our style even better than we could have descri...
bed. At the wedding, she seamlessly captured candid moments and details we didn’t even think to ask for. Her creative angles and artistic shots exceeded all expectations. She has a great infectious energy that made the experience fun and relaxed. Could not recommend her more highly!
Where do I begin? We booked Riany for our engagement shoot in May of 2022, and *immediately* knew she was the right photographer for our big day. The forecast promised a gorgeous s...
unset at our engagement shoot but we ended up with a TON of fog and mist instead, and while I was really bummed at first Riany assured us that it would actually create some amazing, dramatic shots... which it did! Given that weddings are so stressful we felt like she was the perfect person to have by our side, because she made us feel *sooo* comfortable, is incredibly laidback and friendly, and confidently guided us through every shot. All of my bridesmaids raved about her on my wedding day, too, because she made taking photos FUN which is so crucial and it really showed up on everyone's faces in the photos that they were enjoying the process! We are sooo grateful and THRILLED that we had Riany (and her lovely assistant shooter) to capture our big day, and most importantly, the photographs turned out stunning!
Riany was great, we had such a fun time taking pictures around Boston!
Riany is the best!! I was nervous since I'd never worked with a photographer before, but she made it so easy and fun to be in front of the camera. And the pictures! We absolutel...
y love them. Seriously, they exceeded every expectation. We got so many compliments. She is a genius!
Riany was my husband and I’s photographer for our wedding 3/2023, and we could not recommend her more! She is so talented and easy to work with. She did a great job working throu...
gh our shot list on our wedding day without taking too much time away from the celebration itself – it really was the perfect mix! She also captured a lot of great candid pictures of us and our guests, and always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Riany also worked with us in the weeks prior to our wedding to create a timeline which was SUPER helpful. We are both so happy that we chose her as our wedding photographer and that she was a part of our celebration. Highly recommend her services!! We will be recommending her to friends!
Riany was truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. I had a very specific version I wanted for our photos and searched a lot to find someone who I thought could capture it. ...
Going into it I was nervous because my husband and I can be awkward for lovey photos. Then, to top it off, I pinched a nerve in my neck the week of my wedding and was still quite a bit stiff on our wedding day. I was so nervous to see our photos. I literally could not believe them when I saw them… they looked so natural as opposed to staged, you couldn’t see my stiffness, and the quality was amazing. Most of all, Riany absolutely understood and captured my version. She has the perfect combination of the ability to direct you, while also making you forget she’s there. Our photos are timeless, romantic, and just perfect. Thank you Riany!!
Riany was truly one of the greatest decisions we made for our wedding! From our engagement to our wedding day Riany created just breathtaking magic. In addition to be super communi...
cative and professional she is the best hype girl you could imagine. She made us feel so comfortable and confident and captured how much love we felt. I am so grateful for the experience and the memories we will have forever.
Riany exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding photography! She captured our special day perfectly and provided so many extra candid moments that we will treasure forever. ...
She was easy to work with, and gave us great direction (since we had no idea what we were doing) 10/10 would recommend Riany Haffey Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

We loved working with Riany! She was super helpful throughout the process, and always easy to get in contact with. We love all of our photos, from both the engagement photoshoot, a...
nd from our wedding. They are really stunning and she has amazing talent for photography and editing! In addition, for both shoots, Riany was very communicative and quick in giving us our photos. The day of the wedding, she also did a great job of keeping things low-stress. We would highly recommend her!
I can't recommend Riany enough! She was so great to work with and our photos turned out beautiful.
Riany was INCREDIBLE!!! She is such a sweet person and made our day and photo experience so comfortable. The photos came out AMAZING! was so glad she was there for our special day!...

Riany was the best part of our day, besides getting married of course! She made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The photos came out even better than we c...
ould have ever imagined. I could not recommend Riany more!!!
The summary for this review is that Riany is the best, and we would strongly recommend her without any hesitation. We hired her for our wedding in Cambridge, MA this June. Where to...
start? First, her photographs are dynamic and so lovely – she succeeded in capturing the atmosphere of our wedding with a playful style that we find so refreshing. We really didn’t want our photos to be too formal or cliché, and we shared some inspiration photos from the web with Riany ahead of our engagement shoot. She was so excited to work with us in trying to give our photos the look we wanted. She clearly invested time into studying the inspiration photos and completely surpassed our expectations, working with several different techniques and styles. Second, Riany is an infectiously joyful person who was nothing but a pleasure to work with. We are not people who normally feel comfortable having our pictures taken, but she made us feel at ease and was just so fun to hang out with. Third, Riany has this magical skill of getting wonderful, intimate photos of the wedding without being intrusive. We of course did some family portraits, and occasionally she asked a group to come together, but for the most part she blended into the party and snapped wonderful photos. She was so attentive to the two of us, making sure that we looked good (for example, gently taking an empty appetizer plate from our hands before taking a picture).
Riany is everything you would hope for in a wedding photographer – she was extremely responsive, communicative, and timely in both her photo shoots and in terms of editing the photos. We are thrilled with the set of photos that we got from our wedding. She captured the night perfectly!
I cannot express how incredible working with Riany has been! Her bubbly personality and professional manner makes for a fun and easy photography session. Our engagement shoot was i...
ncluded in the wedding package and was the perfect way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Riany gave us some "sneak peek" photos the day after our wedding, and delivered all of the rest of the photos within 2 weeks! She gave us a great mix of artistic/ detail pictures, action shots, and portraits. I highly, highly recommend choosing Riany for your wedding photography!
Riany was wonderful to work with! We had so much fun on our engagement session and the day of the wedding. My husband was nervous for all the photos but she did a great job making ...
us feel comfortable. Riany was not only great to work with, but the photos are absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend!

stood our vision and captured the most stunning photos (both candid and posed). Truly could not recommend her enough.
Hiring Riany was probably the best decision we made for our wedding! She captured so many great moments and our photos came out absolutely beautiful. She even stepped in to fix my...
hair and help my sister tie up the bustle on my dress!! She went above and beyond to help make our day perfect.
We have done two shoots with Riany, and both of them were incredible. Even after 2-3 years of the pictures we still post her photos everywhere and use them for our cards. She has a...
n incredible eye and the composition of her photographs are a very pleasing aesthetic. I’m incredibly uncomfortable posing, but had a great time being goofy with her and not being told to look a certain way was super great too. I can’t wait to work with her again.
Riany and her assistant shot our engagement photos and our wedding. She did such an incredible job. She was so funny and easygoing and made us feel super comfortable. She kept us o...
n track the day of and we have some really special moments that she captured that we can treasure for a lifetime. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful, and she got them back to us SOOO quickly which is basically unheard of weddings. The quality of her photos and editing is seriously top notch. I can’t wait to work with Riany in the future, she will absolutely be my go-to girl for any pictures that we need!
Please book with her. Having Riany as my photogroaher was the best decision I ever made for my wedding. Not only is her prices amazing( because weddings can be very pricey) but you...
will not be disappointed. She is beyond talented, goes over and beyond for her clients, her work ethic is incredible, her creativity is stunning, but most importantly her personality is absolutely wonderful. She made our engagement photos so easy to pose and have fun. She lightens the mood and just makes you feel so special. She not only works great with her clients but our wedding party absolutely loved her. The day of your wedding can be highly stressful so having someone laid back but knows how to direct the crowd but easing the mood so that everyone is having having is so important & Riany does just that. She was always super efficient with getting back to me right away. Not only does she communicate in a timely fashion, but she also gets your photos back to you right away. After both our engagement session & our wedding which was this past weekend 12.4.21, she had sneak peek photos for us the very next day. And our whole photoshoot was to us in about 2 weeks tops. For our wedding we also had a videographer and they worked side by side so we'll to make sure to capture the special moments on our wedding day. Riany is just absolutely fabulous, not only is she a talented photographer, but she takes the most stunning pictures. She takes so many natural shots and the editing of the pictures is gorgeous. If you pick a photographer you will be so happy going with Riany she is the best!
If I could give Riany more than 5 stars I would. Not only did she take the most beautiful photos, she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. We did not make her job easy, as...
we both dislike being photographed, but Riany conquered the task with ease. She was able to capture our special day perfectly. If you are in search or a photographer for any occasion, choose her!!!!
Riany is an amazing photographer to work with. We met her last October for our engagement photos and she was amazing. She was able to get my fiance and I out of our shells and sh...
e pretty much went with our flow and was able to enhance our vision. One year later she took our wedding photos and my husband and I could not have been happier. She was prompt and on time and took amazing photos of us and our family. Riany is very reliable and is always professional and courteous. She works off the vibe of the couple/group that she is working with which is a skill that most do not take seriously. I would highly recommend her for your special day :)
We had our engagement photos and wedding day coverage with Riany and had such great experiences. Riany is so easy to work with and very responsive anytime we had a question through...
out the process. Riany helped us create a wedding day timeline that worked for us, and helped us schedule enough time to get all of the photos we wanted. She got everything on our shot list and truly listened to our priorities, and sent us over 800 photos in less than 2 weeks! She and the second shooter she found for us were so helpful in coordinating our first look and moving the day along. I would recommend Riany in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a fun, easygoing, experienced wedding photographer to get amazing natural and candid photos. We of course got formal shots as well, but we have SO many incredible photos that truly capture the happiness and joy of our wedding day. We cannot thank Riany enough for giving us photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Riany Haffey is by far the best photographer in the Greater Boston area, not only is she incredibly professional in her punctuality and her communication but kind, patient, and cre...
ative. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her style of photography makes you feel not only stunning but like yourself. The day of our wedding she made us feel like celebrities and looking back at the photos I feel like they could be in a magazine. They are more than incredible, there are no words. I have already recommended Riany to 2 other friends who are getting married and they are going to be working with her, that’s how amazing she is!
But seriously, if you are in need of a photographer, choose Riany. She is not only an amazing photographer but an amazing human being.
Riany was absolutely incredible, we could not have had a better experience. Her work is absolutely incredible and she is amazing to work with. She was super accommodating when we h...
ad to change our date and even rescheduled our engagement photos cause she didn’t think the photos would be good on other days. She was also was super organized and had us submit our photos we wanted before hand so that we got them all on the day of. She even helped with communication with the caterer the day of. We cannot thank Riany enough for all she did. She was absolutely incredible and we will be recommending her to everyone we know!
Riany is a delight to work with, she is so calm and rolls with everything that she got so many great candids and natural as well as posed photos for us that we will cherish forever...
. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, she was so easy to talk to and such a pro at coordinating and helping us get the shots we wanted while also enjoying the day. She also has great turnaround times and I loved getting so many sneaks peeks the day after the wedding as the adrenaline was dying down I got to relive some of my favorite parts of the day. Our families loved her and we did too.
Riany was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better photographer. Our friends had booked Riany for their wedding a few years ago, and they highly recommended her. ...
After talking with her and looking through her portfolio, we knew we had to have her. We hired her early on, and when she took our engagement photos, we were so impressed with how she made us look. My husband and I are not people who are used to posing for the camera, but somehow Riany made it effortless. She was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable on our photo shoot. Fast forward a year to our wedding, and we were even more impressed. Riany kept in constant contact with us until the day of and had asked for our requested shots in advance. On the day of, we even had a fiasco where, for the location I picked for our first look, there were two other wedding couples doing first looks and even a wedding ceremony happening. Riany was the first to let me know, and we coordinated a different spot for the first look, which ended up being even better than the original location. Throughout the rest of the day, Riany made us feel relaxed and every pose felt natural and easy. She even helped us coordinate our huge family photos, which was a feat in and of itself. She gave us our sneak peek literally 18 hours after our wedding, while we were on the way back from our hotel. Her turnaround time is AMAZING. She delivered our photos to us 2 weeks later, which is so crazy to me given how many photos she gave us (over 800). All in all, if you're considering Riany for your wedding, you need to get in touch with her and book her immediately. I couldn't have imaged a better photographer for our wedding, and we are so lucky to have found such an amazing photographer and person.
Riany is just incredible! She is so talented with photography but beyond that was a great guest at our wedding. She is personable and can make anyone feel comfortable in front of t...
he camera. My husband and I are very camera shy but you would never know it from the pictures she was able to get of us. Every single picture she took was stunning. I am so grateful we hired Riany and have the treasure of her photographs to continue to remember such a special day. Riany was always communicative and was extremely flexible when we had to change our date from April 2021 to August 2021. Any vendor that was flexible, kind and understanding through the pandemic really showed how they conduct business and truly care about their clients. I am already recommending Riany to friends and family!
Riany was amazing! I can't believe how beautiful my photos turned out. She's professional, accommodating, and extremely skilled. I have already recommended her to multiple friends ...
getting married next year. Overall awesome experience!
Riany is the best photographer I could have ever asked for. She's so great at replying , flexible, and listened to my ideas. I did not want all of the traditional wedding photos an...
d she respected that and encouraged our creativity! She also met with us for an engagement shoot which helped break the ice and really showed us how amazing she is. I could not recommend her enough and I will be using her for all of our future life moments for photos. I wouldn't trust anyone else :)
I cannot recommend Riany highly enough! She is great to work with. Her style perfectly reflected our own, and we are so happy we chose her to capture our special day. Riany is supe...
r friendly, very easy to talk to and professional. She has a good eye for beautiful shots and styling. We have so many wonderful photos to share with our family and friends and to remember all the special moments from our wedding day. We can’t wait to look back at Riany's photos for years to come. We would 100% work with her again.
Riany has so much energy! I loved that! Very well communicated with everything!
Riany was absolutely amazing and one of the best things about our wedding. She was very friendly and professional and has been prompt about responding to all emails and questions f...
rom the beginning. When COVID hit and we decided to reschedule our wedding for a micro wedding on a new date, she was great about moving to the new date with us. I was a little nervous about photos since I am camera-shy, but we did our engagement photos with her and she made us feel so at ease with her friendly demeanor. And the photos came back absolutely STUNNING: emotional, warm, dramatic, and beautiful. We got so many compliments on how they looked. Our wedding photos were even more beautiful, and she and her second photographer Danielle were so warm and friendly and down-to-earth that day. They both were so helpful, offering to carry my makeup and things and even joked about being my additional bridesmaids. When the sun got too bright during our wedding ceremony and got in my eyes, Danielle even quickly moved to adjust the window blinds so that I could see.
After the wedding, we got so many compliments on how beautiful the photos were, and some of our friends even asked if Riany and Danielle were our friends or friends of the family, since they seemed so friendly and we were so comfortable and at home with them. Riany even took it upon herself to correct the color of my wedding ring in the ring shots when the jewelry store messed up my wedding ring order and I was forced to use the incorrectly colored ring in the wedding ceremony. And our photos came back quickly, exactly by the time promised. We heard so many horror stories about friends of ours not receiving their photos until months after the deadline, and we were so glad that we did not need to worry about that with Riany. In short, we feel so thankful to have had Riany by our side during our wedding and will recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional, friendly photographer who produces stunning photos!
We loved working with Riany for our engagement photos and are so excited to work with her again on our wedding day next year. She was extremely flexible and accommodating with sche...
duling (and then re-scheduling due to terrible weather) for our engagement photos. She worked really well with our dog walker we had there to help with our pup and helped us get amazing photos we will cherish forever. Riany was very open to trying anything we wanted but also suggested a few ideas that helped us get great photos. It was hard to pick a photo for the Save the Dates because they were all THAT good.
Riany was exceptional! She was easy going and a wonderful addition to our wedding day. She had the perfect balance of giving direction and letting things play out naturally. She’s ...
such a sweetheart, we really enjoyed working with her. Her photography skills are amazing. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.
Riany surpassed all of our expectations for our wedding photography . She excellent at communicating with us from the very beginning and worked with me on all of the little details...
I wanted to include in our photos. Being a photographer myself, she definitely made being on the other side of the camera painless. She made sure we had fun with the whole process. Her second shooter Danielle was also extremely professional and talented. They are creative and imaginative and were fast on their feet when shooting to be able to capture all the great and unexpected moments. I would recommend Riany to anybody looking for an exceptional photographer!
Riany is not only a photographer, she's a visionary! Her style is out of this world and she pays attention to every detail.
I started working with Riany to shoot some high-qualit...
y content for brands I was working with. Instantly she made me feel comfortable and amazing in front of the camera.
A year went by and I knew I needed her to shoot my wedding! She made the processes seamless, and day of was a complete rockstar and so organized!
I had 4 photographers help capture my big day but truth be told she was the best! Our wedding photos by Riany are now plastered all over our home.
She's an absolute gem!
