With an innate passion for cameras and visual storytelling, Riley specializes in creating cinematic wedding photography and films that beautifully blend intimate couple portraits with the breathtaking natural scenery of the Sierra Nevada. Drawing inspiration from both the rugged coastlines of New Zealand and the pristine mountain vistas of Lake Tahoe, Riley's work seamlessly weaves together romantic moments with landscape photography, resulting in wedding imagery that is both deeply personal and visually spectacular.

Riley's international background and love for diverse landscapes brings a fresh, adventurous approach to wedding photography, making each couple's story as unique as the stunning locations where their love unfolds.
