Riss + Steven Photography

Riss + Steven Photography Capturing the moments you love to remember. Serving the Southwest + PNW and beyond. We focus on telling the story of your honest and vulnerable love.

A traveling husband and wife team based out of the west coast, but we’re always down to go wherever there's love (and coffee of course). We want to bring out the best in our couples to create moments and memories that you will love and keep forever.

one of the things i love most about our ‘job’ is getting to witness so many different types of love. sarah + tim had the kindest and most gentle love. tim always was doing anything he could to keep her smiling and make her laugh. we loved being around these two and seeing their goofy and playful sides come out when they were around each other. thank you for letting us be apart of the first best day of the rest of your lives ✨🥹

oh heyyyy! it’s us! your fave topo chico loving photo + video duo 📸🎥✨

it was time we uploaded some more recent photos of us in our natural habitat — somewhere in a different country, belly laughing about something stupid, with a bevy in our hands hehe (topo chico and poppi’s are always stocked in our fridge) 🤪

if you know us you know we’re super laid back and just want to have the best time celebrating you and your love! our style when it comes to your wedding or elopement day is to document you just as you are, and help you be present and live in the moment 🫶🏼

when were not traveling somewhere fun we’re home bodies for sure. we’re currently in our gordon ramsey era and watch hell’s kitchen every single night. afterwards we play at least one round of mario kart 8 (steven beats me almost every single time and it’s so annoying 😤)!

we love our aussie, obi wan kenobi maybe a little too much but how can you not love a wiggle butt?!?! he’s our child!!

steven is always down for a sweet candy or chocolate but i’m a savory girlie. like i need something salty after my dessert 🤭 steven is a morning person and literally wakes up with a song in his head, meanwhile i couldn’t be more opposite! i could go to bed early, and wake up late…. i thrive in the middle of the day at 12 noon 😂

i love workout classes and spin is my current addiction but you’ll never catch steven in any sort of group fitness class unless i bribe him with the fact that it’s taylor swift themed!!!

okay i think i’ve written enough for now but we love and adore each and everyone of you that supports us and our art 🥹 it means the absolute world to get to do this with the best people on earth, yeah youuuu 🙂‍↔️💝

if you want candid photos during your wedding you have to be present!

this is a big reason why we don’t run off of shot lists. if you’re constantly thinking of what comes next and making sure everything is exactly right and on time, you’re not living in the moment.

we encourage you to let go of controlling every single detail and LIVE. breath! talk to your people. cry even if it could mess up your makeup. laugh and smile as big as you can. embrace one another. THAT is when the magic happens 🪐✨

the images that make your heart flutter

they remind you how rare this life and love truly is

rock paper scissors to decide who reads vows

cheeks hurting from smiling so much

overwhelming feelings of joy that bring tears to your eyes

time stood still

pure happiness beaming from your friends and family

barefoot first dances

forever and ever

what a life !!! what a LOVE !!!✨🫀💐🪽

moments from the dreamiest sedona elopement 💫 here’s your sign to elope instead! if you’re overwhelmed by traditional weddings and all the details that come with them, eloping might be the best decision for you. AND just because you elope doesn’t mean you can’t invite anyone, or incorporate traditional wedding things like a first dance, or vows.

if you have any questions about eloping and what that entails, feel free to dm us! ✨

Our Story

We're a husband and wife duo who love photographing and filming rad people in love! Based in Phoenix, Arizona but HECK TO THE YEA we travel!

Our favorite thing is being able to capture you and your authentic LOVE! We aren’t about the stiff, awkward posed photos, we’d much rather capture the genuine connection you have with each other. The in between moments are often the ones that we cherish the most.

We don’t want to be just some people you hire, we wanna be the friends you go to taco Tuesday with, quote The Office with, and ugly cry on your wedding day. We wanna be there for you with ANYTHING you may need on the best day of your life.

So send us an email! Tell us all about your crazy love story. We would love to meet for some bomb pizza or coffee and get to know you!
