Remember that couple who had amazing photos of themselves chillin' in a creek after their elopement? Or the couple in Florida who had a DIY farm wedding? If you were as awed by those photos as we were, then you'll want to officially meet our sponsor YouAreRaven!
Photographer Raven Shutley is a traveling wedding photographer, who's obsessed with finding out what makes you YOU. So if you're into chillin' in a creek in your wedding clothes, Raven wants to shoot that. Or one of you loves Star Wars, and one of you is a Browncoat, then your Boba Fett/Jayne wedding portrait request is exactly what Raven wants to shoot.
Let's talk about how you can get your hands on your own photoshoot mash-up of you-ness with a special discount from YouAreRaven.
But first, a warning from Raven herself…
I'm not for everyone, both as a person and a vendor — I curse, I sometimes make lewd jokes, and I love a good “that's what she said” quip. That's why non-traditional clients make my world go 'round. I am friendly and open to clients of all walks, creeds, sexualities, religions, lifestyles, etc. All I ask is that they're a little nerdy, a lot laidback, and hella awesome.
If you ask me, lewd jokes and cursing make Raven the best kind of vendor. That's the kind of wedding photographer that'll make the oft painful wedding portrait time actually fun. That's the kind of wedding photographer that will create epic lightsaber battles out of your groomsman pics. Or tackle your steampunk wedding with nothing but excitement, gushing over ever single detail…

Raven shot my wedding back in April–and woke up at the ass-crack of dawn to get herself to my house for a bright and early Wednesday morning. Raven’s personality was so upbeat and ridiculously fun that we’ve become good friends since I hired her. I can’t imagine having worked with ANYONE else for my wedding, and I cannot fucking wait to book a boudoir sesh once I’ve saved up. RAVEN IS THE BEST.
Woman walks down the street in that hat, people know she’s not afraid of anything.
She is the hero of Canton, after all.
Wait wait wait … Raven? I know Raven! She’s awesome and takes awesome photos!
Can I also mention she’s poly friendly/understanding? That can be a tricky hurdle to navigate with wedding vendors – even Offbeat ones.
