The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Working with Ripple Rain Photography was an absolute dream from start to finish! From the moment we first connected, she was easygoing, approachable, and incredibly professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. As a gay couple, finding someone who truly understands and celebrates love in all its forms was so important to us, and Ripple Rain Photography exceeded all our expectations. She brought a warm, inclusive energy that made us feel seen, respected, and celebrated. Ripple Rain Photography was more than just a photographer; she was a genuine part of our special day. She engaged with us and our guests effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and capturing authentic, beautiful moments. Her ability to direct us naturally while also letting our personalities shine was a testament to her talent and experience. And the pictures—oh my goodness—the pictures are beyond stunning! Every shot radiates with love, joy, and the magic of the day. From candid moments to perfectly composed portraits, she has an eye for detail and creativity that brought our wedding memories to life. The quality of her work is unparalleled, and her work ethic is impeccable. She went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured perfectly, even staying late to snap a few last-minute shots we requested. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, artistic, and truly passionate about her craft, look no further than Ripple Rain Photography. She is an absolute gem, especially for LGBTQ couples who want someone who “gets it” and makes the experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will cherish her work forever.

We are a team of photo & video. Our work isn’t about forcing a vibe; it’s about translating who you really are into images that feel familiar, honest, and grounded. Servicing Southern California, we don’t just show what happened — we show what mattered.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn't recommend MissySure Photography more. I was in a car accident the day BEFORE my wedding day. I sprained my knee and got a second degree burn on my left hand. Not only was MissySure Photography kind, professional, and personable but they also made sure I was comfortable and allowed me take as many and as long of a break I needed. When we got the pictures back we were in love. They came out beautifully and you'd never know I burnt my hand. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and personalized, making the entire process seamless. We were sent a google poll document which allowed us to really tailor what kind of photos were important to us. We decided to elope within the month and MissySure Photography took the time to make sure we understood the process, what to expect, and how many hours was realistic for what we wanted. Day of the team was amazing. Missy was great at giving direction and posing us and making us feel comfortable behind the camera. We were able to take photos with friends, family, and even go to a second near by location because we weren't rushing. Im so thankful we were able to book MissySure Photography for our special day.

I'm Mariela, a traveling Elopement + wedding Photographer. I live in Riverside, California, and have traveled and explored since pursuing my photographic journey for over 15 years. I am intentional and detail-oriented with my work, as much as I am carefree, easygoing, and fun with my couples. I tell my couples "adventure is relative". You don’t have to summit anything, or log in miles. Just being there — at the base of the world’s largest trees in Kings Canyon, or watching the sunset at Taft Point at Yosemite, or standing in the desert silence of Joshua Tree — that IS the adventure. Your version of adventure, told honestly. + LGBTQ Friendly

Riverside, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Documentary-inspired wedding photography for couples who value honest moments, timeless imagery, and photographs that feel like home. My approach is very candid and story-driven, focused on capturing the little in-between moments that often end up meaning the most. The blurry dance floor photos, happy tears during vows and all the beautifully imperfect moments that make your wedding feel uniquely yours. I’ve always been drawn to nostalgia and the way photographs can instantly bring you back to a feeling. More than anything, I want your gallery to feel warm, personal and full of life. Like memories frozen in time.

Working with Nancy was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was kind, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Her warm personality and guidance helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Every image felt authentic, beautiful, and full of emotion. She captured both the big moments and the little details so perfectly. We’re incredibly grateful for her love and care, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who creates stunning images and an unforgettable experience.
