We got married last month in November, and we truly can’t say enough good things about Raya Studios — especially Ash and Mel. Looking at our photos, you honestly wouldn’t even know how cold it was that day. Every image feels warm, natural, and full of emotion, and they captured our day in such a beautiful and genuine way.
From the very start, Ash and Mel were an absolute joy to work with. They were always easy to reach, quick to respond, and so thoughtful with their advice leading up to the wedding, which made the whole experience feel calm and stress-free. On the day itself, they guided us so effortlessly while still keeping everything relaxed and fun. Nothing ever felt forced or awkward — it genuinely felt like spending the day with friends who just happened to be incredibly talented at what they do.
They were kind, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera the entire time. We trusted them fully, and that trust shines through in the final photos. When we received our gallery, it was clear how much care and intention they put into every image, and everything was delivered promptly, which we really appreciated.
We are beyond in love with our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. Ash and Mel exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would recommend Raya Studios to anyone looking for photographers who are not only incredibly talented, but also genuinely wonderful people. Thank you so much, Ash and Mel, for capturing our day so beautifully!— we are so grateful

Ash was our photographer for our wedding and hiring her was truly one of the best decisions we made. Not only are the photos absolutely stunning, but she was such a calming, grounding presence throughout the day — even in moments when I didn’t realize I needed it. She understood our vibe immediately, made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and blended in so naturally that it felt like we had an old friend with us rather than a vendor. She’s talented, thoughtful, and genuinely lovely to be around, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results!
I would give about 5 stars if I could!! We hired Raya Studios for our wedding, and working with Ashley was one of the best decisions we made. Not only did she deliver the most stunning photos — the kind that genuinely capture memories we’ll cherish forever — but she was an incredible presence throughout the entire process.
From our first intro call to our engagement shoot, and all the way through the wedding day, Ashley made everything feel so easy. She supported us, made us feel safe and calm, and somehow took all the stress out of being in front of the camera. Her kindness and energy completely set the tone; she made us feel comfortable in a way that truly made a difference on our wedding day.
We never worried about a thing because we knew the aesthetic and all the special moments were in her hands. And she exceeded every expectation.
Ashley, thank you for making this experience so seamless, beautiful, and memorable. We’re so grateful for you and Raya Studios!

We love Rosanna - she has photographed our engagement shoot, wedding photos, and more recently, a family session with our 6-month-old! We can’t stop looking at these beautiful photos from our family session. Thank you Rosanna for putting together these amazing memories for us!
We appreciate all that Rosanna does, from answering all of our questions, to researching the location and making efficient use of our time together. So grateful to have these beautiful photos to remember this stage of our lives.

I attended a wedding where Raya was the photographer, and they were incredible. Professional, warm, and so attentive to every detail. They blended into the day seamlessly while still capturing all the special moments beautifully. Highly recommend!
We couldn't be happier with our choice for capturing our wedding day. Ash, Mel, & Rosanna were so fun to work with and made us feel super comfortable. It felt like they were our biggest hype fans!
We loved their attention to detail and all of the moments they captured. It's also really cool that they don't limit themselves with how much film they use. We got such a comprehensive collection of memories.
We also LOVE our Super 8 add-on. It's so fun having something to rewatch every year with such nostalgic vibes. The vintage film quality adds something really special.
Highly recommend this team because they truly care about their work and their couples!

Ash and Mel from Raya Studios were our wedding photographers this past August and we would highly recommend them! After our engagement shoot, and the first time working with them, we knew we would be in good hands for our wedding day. They were great at directing us and our bridal party, and handled the chaos and long hours of the wedding day with professionalism. The included film photos are also so special! It brings us so much joy to look back on our wedding photos!
We absolutely loved working with Raya Studios! From our first meeting at our engagement shoot, Ashley was professional yet also warm and friendly, making the photoshoot stress-free and fun.
On our wedding day, she captured such beautiful photos of us, our guests, and all the details. We never felt awkward in front of the camera, and she was our #1 hype person. We're so grateful for all the beautiful memories she captured for us, and will be reliving our wedding day for years to come through these photos!

Ashley and Mel were a dream to work with! From our very first meeting, we knew they would be a great fit to capture our wedding day. They were kind, professional and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They captured a mix of candid and posed shots beautifully. Would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a wedding photographer - you won’t regret it!
We loved working with Raya Studios! Ashley and Mel were such fun people to work with. One of the many reasons we chose them to be our photographers was their editing style and the photos did not disappoint with everyone looking so natural and not heavily filtered! Just looking through them takes us back to relive all the moments of the wonderful day especially all the candid moments as we weren't expecting to see so many little funny moments captured! They were also so timely with answering questions, and also giving back the engagement photos, highlights from the wedding, and all the wedding photos! Would definitely recommend!
