Here's what I love to capture:

• profiles illuminated by sunlight

• hand holding

• dancing and spinning

• foreheads together, laughing

• looking dramatically off into the distance. at what? we don't know. but it sure looks good.

Here's what I'm unafraid of:

• dramatic shadows and light

• saying a stupid joke to get you laughing

• doing anything to get That Shot

• that One wedding guest getting too lit on the dancefloor

Here's what I want more of:

• fun-filled receptions

• joyous ceremonies

• intimate city hall weddings

• offroad adventure elopements

• couples that read this, went, 'word,' and hit me up

these all sound very different. they are. but at the end of the day, love is love, and when i'm behind the camera, i'm happy.

Above all, I describe my work as striking, warm, and earthy.

My name is Riley. I’m a nonbinary/transmasc photographer in Boston and I consider myself an artist before a vendor. I don’t take many weddings a year, choosing instead to dedicate my time to couples whose interests, passions, and communities align with mine. I find that level of connection yields work that I am most proud of. If you’re a creative type yourself, a self-proclaimed nerd, or just an appreciator of the arts and beauty, I’m pretty confident we’ll hit it off.

I’m pretty nontraditional. Self taught, I spent the start of my career at anime conventions doing cosplay photography, before that niche took me across the country and then the world. Having honed my skills there, I then expanded outwards into weddings and gender-affirming portraiture for the trans and LGBTQ+ communities.

I take great care in what weddings I choose to book, so that when I shoot, I'm refreshed, excited, and inspired. You will feel that when you work with me, and see it when your galleries are sent your way.

To fully tell your story I use a blend of unobtrusive candid photography, refined detail work, and posed portraits. I seek natural light and shadows to accentuate my visuals and contribute to what I found as my personal style. Throughout over a decade of growing, I apply my style to each client and bring out their best angles with thoughtful compositions.

I aspire to be not only an artistic presence, but also a calming and pleasant one for you, your families, and your guests.
