We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture these memories! We were totally prepared to have an awkward evening of taking engagement photos with someone we did not know, but it was the complete opposite experience! Stephanie made it fun and exciting - full of laughter and when she says, “do you trust me?” Say YES! I promise she won’t let you down with what her eye is seeing! She captured our wedding beautifully and we could not have imagined anyone else to capture our perfect day!
Thank you again!! -

Professional experience
Needed to find a wedding photographer last minute for my daughter's wedding. Was hoping to get a response from someone who lived on post at Ft Benning, Ga. The first response I got was from Stephanie. I called her quickly once I received a response. She was very pleasant and had dealt with a lot of these types of military weddings. She was very flexible with the date and time as it was a weekday. Suggested we hold the wedding in downtown Columbus, Ga along the Chattahoochee River. The day of the wedding she had a lot of great ideas for locations to take the pictures as she has done this for other weddings. She delivered on time as promised. Stephanie is a true professional and I would highly recommend her. We live in Atlanta, Ga. and would absolutely drive down to Columbus, Ga. to have future photographs of my wife and I taken by her.

Everything and more
Stephanie is perfect. We had a very special, last minute ceremony. (3 days of planning) for my husband and I.
My dad was recently diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, so we decided to have a ceremony that he could be apart of since our plan was to wait until our 10 year Anniversary. Stephanie never hesitated to help and go with the flow of everything moving around us.
She is so good at what she does, and you feel her passion for being behind the camera.
She is patient, caring and kind.
My heart doesn’t have enough words to thank her for everything she did on our special day.
She captured everything so perfectly. Every time I scroll through pictures I am taken back to that day and those moments. It’s everything I wanted and needed, plus more.
So much love for her and what she does!Marilyn Ray Photography's reply:
Oh my gosh Ariel!! Thank you so very much for such kind words and you are so welcome. I wouldn't have had this wedding any other way. It was perfect and I'm so thankful you chose me to be a part of it. My heart is broken for you and your family and I will be praying for you every single day. -

Hey there, I am Stephanie Taylor. The photographer behind the lens.
I specialize in Weddings/engagement, Marketing, Maternity, and Lifestyle.
I travel often for weddings and really enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places and experiencing photographing at different locations.
I love the candid moments that you catch on camera without trying. Those raw emotional moments where you are laughing really hard, where you are just showing the real you, the moments you catch when you are not posed.Those pictures, to me, are so beautiful!
I cherish that one picture that makes the entire day worth it!
You know the one I am talking about... The one where you get teary eyed looking at it because it brings back the emotions you were feeling at that exact moment!
Those pictures are the ones I thrive to catch for you.
I aim to savor the memory that otherwise would be gone with time.
This is Leslie! Leslie is the assistant to Stephanie of Marilyn Ray Photography.
She has a huge passion for photography and it shows in her work.
When she isn't helping Stephanie fix the vail, fluff the dress, find the bow-tie, hold the rings, carry the train, move the strand of hair, etc., she also catches special moments on her camera during weddings with Marilyn Ray.
Her pictures are beautiful, clients love her and not to mention, Stephanie enjoys having her around and appreciates all her hard work.
If you book a wedding with Marilyn Ray Photography, you more than likely will see Leslie too!
