WHAT TO EXPECT
Your wedding day is a reflection of your love, and I’ll never push you to do anything that doesn’t feel authentic. Feeling at ease and trusting the process is essential — it’s what allows me to capture your day thoughtfully and creatively. To me, photography is more than beautiful images; it’s an encapsulation of the laughter, the tears, and the quiet moments you'll want to relive again and again.
Inquiry Process
STEP 01
get in touch
STEP 02
break the ice
Being personable is a big part of what I do. We'll schedule a time for a preliminary meeting, either in person or virtually, for us to get to know each other, discuss the details of your day and open the floor for you to ask any questions you may have.
contract, invoicing & scheduling
To officially reserve your wedding date on my calendar, I require a 50% non refundable retainer and a signed contract. If you've booked an engagement session or it's included in your package, we'll also begin discussing scheduling and vision at this time.
STEP 04
leading up to the 'big day'
Communication is key to a smooth wedding day. I will always make myself available to clients in the interim to discuss photo timelines, your vision, and any important changes that may arise.

"Raina is an incredibly talented photographer and professional. When my husband and I decided on a micro wedding we were in search of someone who could take on the challenge. We both felt comfortable in-front of her camera lens and it shows. My favorite moment is when a flock of birds appeared during our private shots when guests left for our reception venue. While it could have been a internal memory, Raina turned it into a physical one. I am happy to recommend Raina to others who want an intimate and personalized experience!"

the
frequent questions
Will we receive our raw images?
No. Every photographer has their own unique editing style and mine is a huge part of my brand. As an artist, I will always put my best foot forward by delivering quality images that align with my sense of artistry.
Are travel expenses included in your packages?
No. Travel expenses are considered an add-on to my base package rates. Travel expenses typically cover the cost of flights, accommodation and transportation.
When will we receive our full gallery?
2-3 months is my normal turn around for weddings & elopements and 1 month for engagements & regular sessions. I always make a point to keep clients updated, especially during busy season. The lump sum of the work as a photographer falls in the post-production phase, and so I greatly appreciate client's understanding and patience.
will you photoshop my images?
No. Apart from minor retouching when necessary, I believe that the imperfections are what grant authenticity and uniqueness to my work. I do not airbrush people's faces or digitally alter their bodies. What I do is vow to make sure my clients feel their very best — while still feeling like themselves.
how will i receive my images?
Your images will be delivered via an online gallery.
will we get a print release?
Yes. Upon receiving your gallery, you'll receive a full print release.
how do we reserve our date?
A 50% non refundable retainer & a signed contract is required to reserve your event date on my calendar. The remainder of your balance is due exactly one week prior to your event.
