THIS ISN’T FOR COUPLES
WHO DON’T CARE.
It’s for the ones who do. The ones who want to feel fully themselves in their photos—without feeling stretched too thin.
Maybe you’re:
- Paying for the wedding yourselves
- Hosting something small and personal
- Prioritizing your future (or your sanity) over spending it all in one day
Whatever the reason, you’re not settling. You’re choosing something that actually fits—and that still feels like you.
WHY BOOK WITH A SMALL COMPANY?
Big companies assign photographers from a spreadsheet. You might never meet your editor. Support feels cold. And you're just one of hundreds.
We do things differently.
- You’ll speak directly with Raven
- You’re matched with your best-fit photographer
- Your images are culled & edited by hand
- Your gallery will feel like you

FAQ
Are your associates photographers less experienced?
My associates have between three and ten years as a wedding photographer, carefully selected because their style and values align with mine.
Will my experience and photos with an associate be just like working with Raven directly?
No. The full Raven Shutley Studios experience is only possible when I’m the one photographing your day. Associates give you access to the same support and editing from me, but the way they shoot and interact is their own.
If you’re drawn to me specifically, booking an associate won’t feel the same. If you’re drawn to my approach and my editing but need a lower-cost option, then my associates are a great fit.
Will I still be working with Raven?
Not on the wedding day, but the full rest of the experience, yes. I’ll be with you leading up to the day, help you build the photography plans for the day-of, plan your engagement session, send your timeline guide, and edit & deliver all your final images. I will not be photographing the wedding day itself.
Can I choose my photographer?
I’ll make the match for you based on your date, location, and vibe. If you have preferences, just let me know!
Is this right for me if I’m doing something small and personal?
Absolutely. Story & Light was built with small weddings, courthouse elopements, backyard ceremonies, and nontraditional plans in mind.
Can I add an engagement session later?
Definitely. Engagement sessions are available through select associates, and can be added anytime up to two months before your date.
FAQ
Is this a budget option because the photographers are less experienced?
My associates have between two and ten years as a wedding photographer, carefully selected because their style and values align with ours. The experience Story & Light Associates offers is a more simplistic and more hands-off approach.

No, and I want to be upfront about that. The full Raven Shutley Studios experience is only possible when I’m the one photographing your day. Associates give you access to the same support and editing from me, but the way they shoot and interact is their own. If you’re drawn to me specifically, booking an associate won’t feel the same.

The only thing I won’t be doing is physically photographing the day itself.
