PRESERVING TIMELESS LOVE STORIES
for modern romantics
Translating your love into visuals that tell your unique story with an authentic and modern feel.
Your wedding day deserves to be remembered with the same elegance and emotion it holds in each passing moment. My approach is grounded in storytelling - blending the ease of documentary photography with the refined touch of editorial artistry. Every image is crafted to feel timeless, romantic, and deeply personal.
From your first email to the final gallery, I create and experience that feels calm, intentional, and effortless. I believe in guiding you with a gentle hand - allowing space for real connection, natural beauty, and genuine joy to unfold. The result is a curated collection of photographs that feel like art - honest, elevated, and forever true to your story.
MEET RUKA
STORYTELLER & WORLD TRAVELLER
My approach is pretty simple! It's all about relationships, authenticity, and intentionality. My main goal is to make this process as laid-back and stress-free as possible. I want to be a breath of fresh air, your best friend you can text on a Tuesday night about napkin colors, your go-to Friday night drinks buddy, and a shoulder to lean on for your big day! My greatest wish is that our time together feels like so much more than just a work relationship. I am here to walk alongside you on this journey you are on!

READ THE STORIES
Ruka is AMAZING!! She is so kind and easy to work with. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful during my wedding photos and even sent a sneak peak of the photos within 48 hours after my wedding! I gave her a Pinterest board of my inspiration photos and she absolutely crushed it with the lighting, poses, editing, etc. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos!!
Michael & Kalie
My fiancé and I did our engagement shoot with Ruka and she is the absolute best!! She flew all the way from Colorado to DC to do our shoot. She is the absolute kindest soul you will meet. She is a great photographer but also a great human being. We were very happy with both our pictures and our entire experience with Ruka. Will definitely shoot with her again.

I am so grateful that we had Ruka capture our engagement pictures as well as our special day for us. These moments will be treasured for a lifetime. Ruka was easy to work with, made sure to know what was important to us, and definitely put this stressed out bride at ease. I cannot recommend her enough and can't wait to work with her again in the future for a family shoot!
