Hi, I’m Riley!

thanks for taking the time to get to know me

The Why Behind My Storytelling…

Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, I grew up capturing the natural beauty around me. After studying design in college and diving into film classes in the darkroom, my passion for photography and film became a lifelong love.

These days in Los Angeles, you’ll often find me wandering a farmers market, hanging out at the dog park with my one-year-old rescue pup, Sol, or hunting for old cameras and vintage clothing on eBay. I’m also known to cozy up at a wine bar, stroll the reservoir with matcha in hand, or nestle into my little apartment in the hills with my boyfriend and Sol.

I believe the most magical memories come from real, unscripted moments of connection. For over five years, I’ve been honored to document love stories on film, focusing on those genuine, intimate slices of life.

My goal? To create a space where you feel free to be your authentic self, so I can capture the true essence of your day — whatever that looks like. I specialize in weddings and engagements, celebrating the meaningful connections that make your moments uniquely yours.

Your wedding should be a reflection of you — no pressure, no expectations, just your authentic self.

"There's a beauty in the blur — it reminds us that moments aren't meant to be perfect, just real."

Riley is the photographer for you if you’re looking to capture your special candid moments. I’d book her a million times over if I could!
