  • Where you share your vows matters. Here are a few of my favorite locations for an elopement experience:

    *Lake Crescent, Washington

  • I am frequently asked, what types of weddings do you photograph?

    Truthfully, any wedding or elopement that has quiet & romantic connection at the heart of it.

    I am my most creative self with smaller groups of people and when the weather is ‘bad’, and you can probably see it in my work. I specialize in outdoor elopements, but photograph all weddings that share a love for moody, intimate imagery.

    *Backyard Weddings

    *Adventure Elopements

    *Traditional Venues

    *Serving 2-200 people per wedding

  • Submit an inquiry form anywhere on my site and I will be in touch shortly.

“Our first task was to find a photographer who had an aesthetic that matched ours.

When we found Raelin, everything else fell into place. She has an ethereal, romantic quality to her photos that we love.

Being in a national park, we also wanted to pay homage to the vastness and beauty of our surroundings. Our favorite photos to look back on now are the ones where the nature surrounding us plays a central role and adds to the emotions of the day, rather than simply being a backdrop.”

ABOUT RAELIN

your creative soul mate

I didn’t find photography, photography found me. Completely unexpected, I now live to bring romantic, ethereal images to you, no matter who you love.

The source material was my muse from the start, growing up in the Pacific Northwest. If I could photograph out in the rain, on moody days out in the forest or on the coast every day, I would. As soon as you send me an inquiry, I am creating a Spotify playlist inspired by you, to listen to on my way to your wedding and while I edit your photos.

I am introverted, I am an aquarius, and I have always been an artist.

I grew up hiking, camping, and riding dirt bikes around Washington and Oregon, so my weekends occasionally still consist of these adventures. More often now, however, I am exploring small bookshops with a coffee in hand, finding that one piece I’m looking for in a crowded thrift store, or cooking dinner with a glass of wine in-hand with my husband Blake.

Whenever possible, I’m living life slowly. These days, my wedding & elopement photography is strongly inspired by works like Pride & Prejudice, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and music I’m currently listening to. I want your photo gallery to look like it just stepped off of the movie screen, and my promise to you is my wedding photography will always be art-forward.
