Candid + Authentic + FUN

You’ve been adventuring through life, writing a story along the way with the one you love. Somehow you’ve landed here, ready to invite a couple of newcomers along for the ride.

You’re looking for an authentic addition to the intentional but laid back relationship you’ve built. And… you wouldn’t mind having an experienced friend (or 2!) to cheer you on and support you through it all! Someone you can trust wholeheartedly to capture the big things AND those little things that we know you cherish so much.

Like the candids of your family & friends, the emotion-filled moments between the two of you, and the details you’ve spent months piecing together.

“Relaxed” and “stress free” are how you define the perfect wedding day. You can’t imagine a stuffy, traditional photographer setting up lights & awkwardly commanding, “Say cheese on 3!” – Now that you think about it, you’d really love to not feel awkward. Like… At all. And you’d love for your photos to reflect that “totally at ease” feeling. Photos that represent the day as it felt to you – that are filled with character & artistry.

And if you could leave your wedding day remembering the moments you were able to pause & truly soak it all in… Well, that would be next level.

Testimonials

Nick + Abby

“Our photos are BEAUTIFUL. They are filled with character and artistry that makes them feel so different than your typical '“portraits” and it’s sooo exactly what I was dreaming of. Ray & Alyssa somehow made my shy and awkward faces look decent and captured our playfulness and adoration of one another! They are excellent at what they do. What a gift!”

Levi + Rachel

“I OBSESSIVELY recommend Ray & Alyssa for photography. They are talented not only at photographing the big moments, but a thousand little ones that other photographers might miss. I am not a naturally photogenic person (think Chandler in that episode of Friends where Monica wants their portraits done) and they made our engagement and wedding photos such a breeze — and they look magazine-worthy, to boot! If you're looking for a great experience with photographers who are going to care for you as humans and not as a paycheck, pick Ray & Alyssa.”

Theron + Courtney

“Ray and Alyssa were SO easy to work with and made the whole process seamless. They made us feel totally at ease in front of the camera and there was never any awkwardness. All the photos from both the engagement shoot and the wedding day are absolutely beautiful. They captured the day even better than I'd hoped. There was a perfect mix of all kinds of photos (portraits, group shots, candids, party pics, etc) and their turnaround was quick! I have literally recommended them to like 3 other couples. Seriously, they're the best.”

Austin + Lauren

“Ray and Alyssa are not only amazing photographers, but also truly fun people to be around! They made us feel so comfortable during our engagement and wedding sessions by playing little games and getting us to laugh (and they made us look good doing it too!). Two years later we still talk about what a great time we had with them. Ray and Alyssa really know how to capture your personality and their skills with lighting are incredible. If you want those perfect “golden hour” photos, they’re your people! I love every single one of our photos from them.”

Ryan + Amy

“Ray and Alyssa were such a joy to work with for our wedding. I’ve been involved in so many weddings where I saw what I did NOT want: photographers who were bossy, or wanting to stop for posed photos at every turn and therefore missed out on the real “feel” of the day. When planning the wedding, I kept saying, “I don’t care about much, but the photos better be good!” So often when I get photos taken, I get self conscious that I’m not an expert pose-r or model, and I feel awkward, which is the LAST thing I wanted to feel on my wedding day. Thankfully we made an incredible choice with picking these two, who made us feel comfortable, natural and relaxed the whole day. They stayed with us all day and night and made sure they candidly captured every moment that mattered, and they captured it BEAUTIFULLY! I cherish our photos so much from that day and am so grateful to Alyssa and Ray for photographing our day with such attention and care—it shows!”
