We booked Ray for our engagement shoot and our wedding. She did an AMAZING job with our engagement photos and was very accommodating when we had to move our wedding date. We're not normally photogenic people but she made us look it!! So excited to see the wedding photos!

EDIT: I'm here after the wedding because WE ARE BLOWN AWAY BY OUR PHOTOS!! Ray is incredibly talented, efficient and professional. Everyone in our wedding loved her and her photos, us most of all!! Thank you Ray!

Ray has been my family photographer for a few years now. 1 wedding, 1 boudoir, and 1 family photo session. Her calming and kind personality always puts me at ease, I never feel fake or awkward while taking photos with her. She truly is a beautiful spirit, that shines through in her art. I do not hesitate in recommending her, and fully hope to have her keep capturing special moments for me in the years to come. Thank you Ray!!!

Ray is the ultimate professional. Brilliantly skilled in her craft with a precise eye for detail while still flowing with the artistry of the creative side, she wonderfully captured our special day with family and friends. In addition to her clear talent, Ray was also incredible in her ability to organize alllll those people, handle the emotions of some that can arise with such a monumental occasion, and successfully navigate all the soft social nuances of everything involved. Finding all of this packaged up in one person is so rare! We are incredibly grateful to her!

Ray spent 6 hours with us on our wedding day. She captured not only all of our special moments, but managed to take fabulous photos of almost every wedding guest as well  We have amazing venue, food, room pics, and so so many beautiful bride / groom shots. Ray found the perfect spots outside for family pictures and romantic couple pictures. She was so nice to work with, happy upbeat, arrived on time, totally professional, she blended seamlessly into the crowd of wedding guests and was a delight to work with.
We had our edited and proofed wedding pictures 3 weeks after the actual wedding and we could not have been happier with the results. We highly recommend Ray for any wedding photography needs, she is amazing!!

When I was looking for photographers for my husband and I’s wedding, I knew I wanted someone who could give me a piece of artwork; not just traditional photos. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get exactly what I wanted because my husband and I are very camera shy and keep to ourselves. But Ray made us feel so comfortable and the photos were effortless and efficient. The session didn’t take long and she was very considerate of me being cold, as I was in a sleeveless dress in the snow. I love my photos and would definitely recommend Ray Photography for couples like us.

Fantastic Experience!
Ray did a great job shooting our wedding. She checked in with us ahead of time, gave great tips to make the day run smoothly, gave great direction to us, and came up with beautiful pictures. So many of our wedding guests mentioned how awesome she was. I really feel so lucky that we ended up with Ray as our photographer.

She was the sweetest lady. So professional and wonderful. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Even helping calm down a pregnant and emotional bride. I think she probably spend 100 hours editing out a thousand bugs that decided to crash our wedding in late September. She did phenomenal.

Extremely happy!
We just got our wedding photos back from Ray and we absolutely love them and have gotten so many compliments on them already.
She was also awesome to work with. We did an engagement shoot with her as well as our wedding, which was really nice to get to know her and how she works before the big day. As someone who doesn't love getting their photo taken, she makes you feel at ease and gives you direction while also allowing your own personality to come through. She is extremely professional and responded to my emails very quickly. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we are very happy that she photographed our wedding because we have a lot of very special moments captured forever. Would definitely recommend.
