    Our Guiding Principles

    • Radical inclusivity: The outdoors is for everyone. All bodies deserve to feel comfortable, capable and celebrated.
    All hearts deserve to be met with compassion.

    • Curiosity & continuous improvement: We learn new things every day, and we like it that way.
    We welcome constructive feedback and conversation to ensure we’re consistently being the best humans we can be,
    running the best business we can run.

    • Lift each other up: In-kind donations, reciprocal partnerships, community networking and connecting –
    we do what we can to support others and pay forward the support we’ve received.

    • Unwaveringly support our LGBTQ+ community by promoting visibility, authenticity and queer joy.

    "My wife and I’s elopement was the best day of our lives, all thanks to D!! My wife and I eloped in Big Sur and it was the most magical experience. I had an idea of where and how I wanted to elope but D surpassed all of my expectations. They found the most perfect and private locations for our special moments."

    "I could not speak highly enough of them. Prior to even seeing the photos D was one of the highlights of our day, they went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, hydrated and having a great time, whilst also ensuring we got all of the photographs we wanted. My friends and family have all commented on how brilliant D was. We have just received our sneak peaks and are completely blown away! Where ever you are, book D for your wedding, elopement, engagement! You won’t regret it!"

    "I cannot accurately convey the gratitude and excitement my husband and I have for D and their work! The craftsmanship, ease, humor, kindness, and natural talent they brought to our elopement session was beyond words."

    "Given the chance I would choose D over and over for our wedding photographer, and as we move on in life I will always use River + Root for any of our photography needs."

    Accessibility and equity is deeply important to us. We offer payment plans, discounts to BIPOC clients and sliding scale fees when possible. Contact us to learn more.
