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.

He was super helpful guiding the two of us into the scene of each photo and he captured the tone of the big day a year before the big day even happened.

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.

Working with Bri was such a pleasure! For starters, we planned our wedding in two months, and she worked us into her schedule (for a destination wedding at that). She reached out, was very engaging, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Leading up to both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she arrived hours early and spent time scouting out the best locations. For our engagement photos, she found the most stunning mountain location and trekked with us through the snow to capture the stunning photos! For our wedding, we told her what we were envisioning with the scenery and people, and she made it happen in a beautiful way! She was organized and managed time well in taking the photos. On our wedding day, she arrived early and captured the day perfectly. She is such a joy to have around, brightening the room and making it easy to rejoice in the day. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out stunning, we continue to receive compliments on them as people can't believe they are real. Would HIGHLY recommend Bri for any photos you would like!

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

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!

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.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Reagan and the Olive and Oath team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always detailed, timely, and considerate, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, I walked in with no worries about the photography schedule or expectations - I knew I could trust that the photos would reflect all that we wanted and would be of great quality. The Olive and Oath team was reliable, organized, and a joy to work with during such a vulnerable time. Their traditional and professional approach resulted in beautiful, lasting memories that we'll cherish forever.

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.

*TO INQUIRE PLEASE REACH OUT VIA WEBSITE LINK* Hey! We're Alyssa + Alec husband and wife wedding + elopement photographers. Located in Southern California serving ALL couples around the United States. We shoot with intention; for our couples not for our portfolio, creating timeless memories you can relive and relive for the years to come. We work closely with our couples to guarantee a wedding album they've always dreamt of.

We absolutely LOVED having Alyssa and her husband be our wedding photographers! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we new we had made the right choice. Even though I truly hate being the center of attention and getting my pictures taken, Alyssa made us feel so comfortable so that we could enjoy the day and be in the moment. Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much. They capture the day perfectly and I don’t think anyone could have given me the simple outdoorsy/elegant summer camp vibe that I wanted except for her. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa and her husband enough!!

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.

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!
