EXPERIENCE
WEDDINGS, ELOPEMents, & COUPLES
M y approach
the heart behind my craft is to create a beautiful,
unforgettable experience on your wedding day
My approach to photography is natural, film-esque, timeless, focused on creativity, emotion, and depth. I approach my work with intention, marrying a blend of documenting moments as they unfold organically, and instinctively knowing when to step in and give creative direction. I value creating an experience where you feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if you've never been in front of a professional lens before. When we are working together, my goal is to help you feel supported, heard, seen, and that your photos recreate the experience of your wedding day over and over, for decades and eventually, generations to come. My couples understand that working together means we enter a mutual partnership that values trust, vulnerability, and joy!

Go with Rian, you won't be disappointed!
★★★★★
Working with Rian felt like catching up with an old friend. Taking photos with her was actually so much fun. We jumped around downtown Charleston exploring and it just so happened that we were documenting a momentous occasion at the same time. Since it was just the two of us, Rian was our support for the pre-wedding nerves/technical difficulties. She was our friend as we enjoyed our first celebratory cocktails after our shoot, and she genuinely became someone we'll be keeping in touch with throughout the years. We couldn't recommend Rian more for not only her professionalism and talent, but her incredibly warm personality as well. She is an absolute joy to be around and we only wish we lived closer so that we could hang out all the time. Go with Rian, you won't be disappointed!
Better than I could have imagined
★★★★★
She kept my nerves to a minimum! Rian was a joy to work with, & she is truly amazing behind the lens; Rian also took our engagement photos for us October of 2019, and we still look at them all of the time, & receive compliments on them constantly!
Rian made us feel like old friends
★★★★★
My fiancé and I were searching for a photographer for engagement pictures in Charleston, and we found Rian through Instagram hashtags! We were nervous to be in front of the camera but Rian made us feel like old friends and made the process comfortable and fun! Our pictures are so creative and authentic! She captured our love beautifully!

Because I value quality over quantity, and because every wedding is unique, I don't promise a particular number of images. I do, however, guarantee that when you look at your gallery, you'll feel like you're reliving your special day all over again, and you may even find that there are moments in your gallery that you'd have forgotten about if not for those moments being documented.
