“Riane came highly recommended by one of our friends and she did not disappoint. We are very happy with the pictures she took at our wedding, as well as the different backgrounds that she chose. She is very patient and easygoing, and she has a passion for her job which you can see in your interaction with her. Thank you so much for capturing the best moments on our special day. ”

“It felt a little vain when a friend suggested that I use a professional photographer for my dating-app photos. However, within about 30 seconds of meeting Riane, it became clear that making me look good was her job and I was simply a key participant in that process, not some vain model as I was initially imagining. Riane is extremely professional and gets right down to business, but in a way that leaves you feeling good about yourself and definitely more attractive. They say that men don’t get a lot of compliments. A photo session with Riane is the ego equivalent of a trip to the spa. Her skill with the camera will make you feel attractive in a way that will make verbal compliments unnecessary. You’re just going to know it without someone telling you. - Robert V New York City”
“Riane was the absolute most accommodating, sweetest person to shoot with. I told her my testimonial would be me crying on FaceTime with my sister when she finally sent our pictures, but I’ll save myself the embarrassment! She was so kind, understanding, and not at all hesitant when assisting with small pointers and touch ups such as fixing your hair or suggesting new positions. I have the best maternity photos that will last me a lifetime. Booking her for the wedding next!!! - J. Di Gaudio Long Island, NY”
“Riane was absolutely great to work with! She shot my graduation photos, and everyone loved them. I had never had a shoot with a photographer before, but Riane ensured that the entire process went smoothly and that everyone had a great time. Although I had a number of family and friends take part in the shoot, Riane took her time with everyone and we were able to shoot in a number of locations with various groups. Overall, it was a great experience and the photos came out amazing! Would definitely recommend Riane for any graduation shoots.

“Riane has a distinct eye for photography. She captured the beauty of our estate visually conveying the magnificence and elegance. We truly enjoyed Riane’s work!” -Karissa Yson, Marketing Director for Chateau du Sureau (A RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX Property) California”
“Riane was fantastic to work with! We did a 2-hour shoot and got a variety of professional and casual shots. Riane made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera which helps make the shots look genuine and candid. She gives great direction, so I knew how to position my body or make a certain facial expression, to make the shots look great. She also has a knack for finding cute backgrounds and environments that look great in the final shots. I have worked with a few other photographers in the past and Riane was by far the best. I could not be happier with the final result and I plan to work with her again in the future! - John Accardi Doylestown, Pennsylvania ”
“Riane approached our hotel photography uniquely, rather than as a cookie-cutter assignment. Her unfailing insight and sensitivity captured the spirit of the property: timelessly traditional but with a modern edge. Her compositions communicated content and depth - exactly the perspective we needed for online branding. - Michael Loftus Wake Robin Inn Connecticut ”
“Let me start by saying Riane in one word is Amazing! She is really more than photographer.From the beginning through to the end she offered endless support,advice and guidance. On the day of our daughters birthday Me and my husband felt calm I didn’t have to worry about missing a moment and it was like having a friend there with you! Her experience and professionalism shines through her couldn’t be more happier with her work, she is seriously talented and I can tell she loves what she does ! If you’re thinking about booking her for any of your event JUST DO IT! You won’t be disappointed at all ! She has captured memories me and my family will cherish forever I’m so thankful - Tania R New York City”
“I own a small upscale Bed and Breakfast in San Francisco. Our hotel has become increasingly popular as a destination place to stay over the years and recently we decided it was time to upgrade our image to match our bookings. We were lucky enough to get Riane to shoot our place during the 3 days she was here in San Francisco for another job. She actually got started before I was on site and continued to squeeze in shots between guests and other goings on. Business was able to be carried on as usual during the shoot. She and her assistant were pleasant, professional and very efficient. When I received the email containing the link with the photos she took a week later I was thrilled. Now it is time to get down with the webmaster and other booking agencies. I highly recommend her.” - Kathleen Meeker, Owner My Rosegarden Guest Rooms San Francisco”
“Riane is a wonderful and talented photographer! She has an eye for capturing meaningful moments at amazing locations. She was patient with my 2 year old godson and she made the photo shoot a calm experience. She went above and beyond to get the perfect shot. I would highly recommend her skill and talent to anyone needing a great photographer. - Marimar T. New York City”
“I’m so impressed with the gorgeous pictures you took at The Forsyth this past weekend. You quietly and efficiently worked absolute magic in capturing the artistic soul of our b&b! We’ve had other photography over the years, but you have brought a very special and very unique eye to this portfolio.
One of the things I love best about our place are the many angles (sloped ceilings!) but they make photography here very challenging. You were able to navigate the angles and bring out the best in the rooms by finding not-the-usual shots and focusing on the many curated “small moments” here. I really appreciate that you see the special qualities of The Forsyth and were able to bring those qualities out in the pictures. The wood tones, beams, artwork and antiques really show throughout your images. The rooms look absolutely inviting and isn’t that the point?
Finally, your food shots are just great. Since we’re known for our breakfast, we really wanted to be sure the food looks superb in these images and it does!
Thank you again for the gorgeous images.” - Tamara Ehlin The Forsyth B&B Kingston, NY”
“We are forever grateful for Riane. Riane agreed to not only photograph our special day, but also be our witness. My fiance proposaled Monday, that same week Thursday we were married. Riane was like “Jenny on the spot” with gadgets and ideas. We had no clue what we needed, she handled everything. Riane showed up early, shouted out places, made sure we had certain props and went well and beyond to deliver. She captured moments that when we look at take us back to that moment. Thank you Riane, for bring more than your camera, thank you for bringing yourself and your vision.” - Melinda Saint Pierre New York City”
“It was pleasure to work with Riane. We spent over 2 hours taking over 200+ photos and the experience was beyond my expectation. She is talented and very good at giving suggestions that capture the best of you. She gave me clear instructions and it made my life so much easier. She had plans in advance and the whole process went very smooth. I was totally stunned by the gorgeous photos and I didn’t even know I can look that good in photos! - Jim Y. New York City”
““Riane was recommended to my fiancée and myself by a friend who had previously used her for professional photography. Riane was flexible with her schedule and was easy to work with. She has a natural eye from behind the camera, and her framing was elegant, with great composure and lighting. Unlike other photographers, Riane provides all photographs to the client rather than just a selection, and her photographs look very natural. She was very quick to turn around our photos, which was greatly appreciated. Overall we were so pleased. - Mohit A. New York City”
“Riane is extraordinary! I left our session together with dozens of fantastic photos that I use for both my personal and professional life. Riane advised me on my wardrobe and gave me excellent direction when we were shooting. She was friendly, personable, and a joy to work with. I am completely satisfied, and I would highly, highly recommend Riane to anyone who wants high quality professional photos! - Tom New York City”
“Riane was such a pleasure and ease to work with. I had a very specific idea in mind coming to our shoot, and she absolutely nailed it. She even scouted locations for us beforehand, finding the most perfect setting to match what was in my head. I’ve already recommended her to several people. 5 stars! - Shosh B. New York City”
“Partnering with Riane was a pleasure. She was professional, punctual, and captured all the images we requested and more. Her photographs are wonderful and bring to life the essence of the property that we are hoping to convey to prospective travelers. We would gladly consider doing another trade with her in the future. - Connie S. The Revolution Hotel Boston, Massachusetts ”
“Riane and I had two sessions together: a shopping / style consultation and a photo shoot. Both sessions were amazing! Riane didn’t make me feel bad about how little I knew about fashion. We spent an afternoon shopping, updating and fine tuning my wardrobe. She accommodated my own (limited) fashion tastes, and I didn’t feel railroaded into wearing something uncomfortable or not “me”. But she did encourage me to get a bit out of my fashion comfort zone. As for the photo shoot, she is a pro in that area too! She picked a great location, and took a lot of great shots of me in my new wardrobe. All while putting me at ease and keeping things feeling natural and spontaneous. If you’re considering using Riane as a stylist, photographer, or both... go for it! - Dave New York City”
“Through a referral, our architecture firm contacted Riane to photograph a completed interior office project that we had designed. Although we had to work around our client’s restricted schedule for the shoot (not to mention during the COVID pandemic), Riane made our lives so much easier! She was very flexible and easy to work with, patiently considered our visions and opinions, and contributed her expertise as we staged and she photographed different spaces within the 20,000 sf office space. Riane was quick but precise, adhering to our schedule without rushing the final product. This was evident just a few days after the shoot, when we received so many beautiful photos that really did justice to our design and the space as a whole. With her photos, she had focused on the overall interior as well as the notable details, and this documentation is so important to us as interior designers and architects! Thank you Riane, for your time, talent and flexibility. We certainly look forward to working with you again. - Suchita S K.S.D Architects Philadelphia, PA”
“If you’re thinking of booking Riane for a shoot, do it ! You won’t regret it at all! Riane was an absolute joy to work with because she exudes a sweet warmth to her that makes it such a comfortable experience. She has a great eye for details, direction, and the talent to transform any location to something picturesque. When I received the photos, I was in disbelief that the person in them was me ! I have never felt more beautiful or confident in my life. I can’t wait to work with her again! Thank you Riane for capturing one of my biggest milestones and for letting me bring your creative visions to life. -Sherilyn New York City”
“Working with Riane was an absolute pleasure. She did a fabulous job capturing the look and feel of our Bed & Breakfast through her photography. Her unique eye created photographs of our property from interesting angles and a professional lens. We had to switch around dates and times based on our room availability and she was very flexible. We are so happy with the final photographs and we cannot wait to use them on our website and social media! - Alana Pikulski Watergrasshill Bed & Breakfast New Paltz, NY”
