Moments that tell a story

Meet Reyna Purcell

Hey friend…

If you decided to work with me, you will notice that I say “I’m so excited”… all of the time. It’s never a lie. I am always so excited to get to know my clients and help them tell their stories. I feel honored to be a small part of the very big moments in their lives. Don’t believe me? Ask my husband… or my dog. It’s all I talk about.

When I am not working on photography, I have a few other loves which include, but are not limited to: Jesus, rock climbing, travel, reading, grabbing drinks with friends, and cuddling my dog.

Want to learn a bit more about me? I filmed a short video that you can watch by clicking the link below!

I love adventure elopements so much that I had one!

As a wedding photographer, my adventurous spirit has always led me to seek unique and unconventional wedding stories. Elopements, in particular, have a special place in my heart, as they bring an intimate connection between couples and the surrounding landscapes. I believe that capturing these untamed and spontaneous moments creates timeless photographs that truly reflect the essence of an adventurous couple’s love. To me, the opportunity to photograph an adventurous elopement is a passion. That is why, for couples who share my love for adventure and are willing to cover travel costs, I am more than happy to offer my photography services for free. Together, we can create stunning visual narratives that preserve the love, laughter, and breathtaking landscapes forever.
