A true artist at heart, Danielle has spent over twenty-five years behind a camera. For over a decade she has specialized in recording couples and families in some of their most joyous moments. Utilizing both digital and film, she documents not only the major moments, but the minor moments, too, that sometimes go amiss: the grandmother gazing fondly at the new generation. The proud tearful eyes of a parent watching as their child embarks on an exciting new chapter. Big or small, with her trained eye Danielle captures every brushstroke to fully realize the memory of your special day.

We just got married this Saturday and Jen and her assistant (her sister) were amazing. They were highly communicative, showed up early, chose beautiful locations for photos and we got through my many family pics in half the time we had allocated. And we already got our sneak peak photos and they are beautiful! I hate photos of myself and she was able to direct me in a way that I was comfortable and came out with photos I actually liked. We really couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves La Quinta, CA

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

My husband and I hired Emily as our photographer after a friend of mine posted her wedding photos to her Instagram over a year ago. I wasn't keen on the venue's recommendations and I couldn't seem to find a photographer that was worth the money. Thank goodness for my friend posting her wedding photos at the time she did because I was about to pick any photographer for the sake of it. Her wedding shots were so gorgeous! The veil shots? Chef's kiss! I reached out to Emily and we hopped on a call a few days later. She is so easy to talk to and relatable. We went over things about what I want and what to expect. The day of our wedding she went right into the groove of things even though my mom showed up an hour late to the venue for photos. I was stressing and she made sure I forgot about that! She got shots I didn't even think of. She made those awkward laughing photos super fun. I cannot thank Emily and her second shooter, David, enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brianna was a real pleasure to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos. I don't particularly like having my picture taken, so the photography bit of the wedding festivities was what I was most nervous about. Brianna has a gentle spirit and was great at making suggestions, asking about preferences, and doing it all in a manner that put me at ease. She was also really great at communicating with us about when our pictures would be ready and options for albums. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with!

Please request a full gallery to truly see the depth of my photography. Unfortunately portraits are extremely compressed on this platform. I do love capturing people in all their forms. In Love, happiness, and excitement and so many other moments in life. Each session is a literal reminder of this amazing life that we live. From the moment you sign on with me we get to work. If you have a coordinator I will immediately reach out & work with them to make sure we work as a team. I also have a list of vendors and venues if you need any suggestions. The ultimate goal is to provide you the best media possible for your day

Hi! I'm an elopement & intimate wedding photographer. I document sacred union through intimate portraits inspired by the natural beauty of Hawaii and California.

Raizah is very comforting and extremely dedicated to capturing beautiful photos.

Not only did Raizah capture photos that exceeded our expectations but we had a lot of fun while doing so. She really is one of the best, especially around the palm springs area and knows the best locations to have your photo taken. I really appreciate her commitment to her work and also editing our photos quickly. We highly recommend Rise In Love and are looking forward to working with Raizah in the future.

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

I love working with Mariela, she is the sweetest most creative photographer I know. Her style and eye for detail is wonderful. Her passion shows in her final cuts.! Her unedited work is even great itself, if you haven’t seen any BTS (behind the scenes) shots of her, it’s incredible the lengths she goes for that perfect shot.! I’d highly recommend her to any client asking for photography.

Welcome to Olive and Oath, an intimate wedding photographer and bridal education company based in Riverside, CA. We offer a variety of services but really resonate with the unfussy, personalized and visually driven weddings. No two weddings are the same and we love to document the dynamic relationships, the in-between moments and the emotions you'll want to relive over and over again.

Hi there! I'm Jess, a 24 year old photographer with an eye for capturing your candid love story! I've always had a love for art and from the moment I picked up my first camera in 2019 everything has just fallen into place. I went to college on a tennis scholarship and finished with a degree in history and psychology. Regardless of that, photography has surpassed any career expectations I could've ever imagined for myself. I truly love what I do and I believe that shows in my work. Besides my love for capturing your love story I have over 5 years of wedding industry experience. From part-time bridal shop work, catering and now photography.

My team is passionate about celebrating the joyful moments in life through modern photojournalistic photography and videography.

From palm trees to pool parties we capture it all and want our couples to enjoy every minute of their time in Palm Springs.

Brianna and her team are wonderful. Not only are they fun to hang out with, but they are wildly talented. My husband and I have never done professional photos and were a bit nervous about it all. Brianna put us at ease, listened to our vision, and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. Not only that, but we got a sneak peak less than 48 hours after our wedding. HIGHLY recommend!

Hey, I'm Alex! A sappy, soulful, empathic human who believes #loveislove, all relationships are uniquely special, and both sides are your good sides with a little confidence and a built-in cheerleader (aka me). Being part of a couples' wedding day is the ultimate honor. My goal is to capture your love at its most natural, your wedding details like they're straight out of a magazine, and your candid family like a National Geographic photog would. Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.

Let’s create stunning images that become cherished treasures for years to come!

We told her what style we were going for and she totally nailed it. She made sure to pay attention to the details we wanted captured (and a couple insecurities we mentioned) She was super easy to work with, laid out a detailed plan for the day, and went with the flow when plans changed. Our photos turned out beyond perfect and we literally want to put them everywhere in our house. Highly recommend Kelsey!
