YOUR CELEBRATION, YOUR WAY
I believe that you deserve more than just a wedding – you deserve an unparalleled experience tailored uniquely to you and your beloved! An elopement is more than a ceremony; it's an experience. It's a deliberately intimate, authentic celebration where the spotlight shines on you two as a couple. It's about creating moments that resonate with your love story, not following a predetermined script!
So, are you ready to embark on a celebration that transcends the ordinary? Let's collaborate to make your elopement an unforgettable experience that documents the essence of your unique love story!
ELOPEMENTS CAN BE PROFOUND EXPERIENCES
I'm a firm believer that small-intentional weddings are the best way to get married! The day where two lovers commit themselves to each other- for better, for worse-for richer, for poorer- in sickness and in health- for the rest of their lives...WOW! Talk about an initiation into sacred union, one that I would be honored to document.
more than just a photographer
- vendor recommendations
- accommodation recommendations
- trail references
- permit info
- tailored timelines
- & officiant assistance!
Personalized Timeline
I will help you craft the perfect timeline for your wedding day, based around all the activities you want to do, places you want to see, and ideal portrait locations with the best lighting available!
Location Assistance
If you need help deciding or narrowing down your choices on where to get married- whether i've been to that location before or not- I always do tons of research to help my couples pick special spots for their ceremony and portraits.
Vendor & Accommodation
I will help connect you with local vendors for your special day (florists, catering, ordainer/officiant, Air Bnb ideas for places to stay)
Permits & Trails
Some places require a permit to take photos or have a ceremony.. it can certainly become confusing- but i'm here to help make it a smooth process so that all the nitty gritty details are crossed off before your big day!
it's your wedding day!
You deserve more than a couple of quick portraits. It's the day you are blessed in sacred union, an accolade that you will re-live & remember forever.
I truly believe that your whole wedding day deserves to be documented in its entirety, so that even when memories begin to fade... your intimate photos can be cherished for a lifetime & beyond.
Swimming with dolphins, a picnic in the alpine zone, dancing under moonlight .. there are no limits & ALL of your most special moments & activities that you planned will be documented with full day coverage.

a little bit about me...
Hi, I’m Raizah, pronounced (Rye-zuh)!
I’m a Hawaii & California elopement & intimate wedding photographer. Documenting the sacred union between two adventurous lovers lights me upppp like no other!
My life path number is 5, and if you’re into numerology, you know that means I LOVE my freedom - and make no compromises when it comes to it! I graduated with a B.A. from Cal State Monterey Bay- the Big Sur Coast & hidden gems of Monterey- Rumsen land will forever have a special place in my heart!
I am deeply called to help children- and fundraise often for an orphanage in Uganda & in the future- I will be stepping deeper into philanthropy work! My dream is to live in a small community with my own lil’ piece of land and to build and live in an Earthship (kudos if you know what that is!).
Being out on the land with two lovers to adventure with on their special day- is so dreamy & sometimes I have to pinch myself to remember that it’s real!! I’m so excited to get to know you and to steward an epic wedding day for you & your beloved! <3
