Exceeded expectations!

Rafay was incredibly efficient with the short time we gave him for our engagement photos. My fiancé needed a photographer last minute and Rafay was sweet enough to work with him to fit us in his schedule. It was a cold, snowy day, but Rafay was able to capture the beautiful moments from the proposal and gave us a few sneak peaks the very next day. I was so excited to show everyone the pictures and we received a lot of love for the photos. Looking back at these pictures I am able to relieve a moment that passed by so quickly. I look at the photos and can feel the same sentiment and my nose begins to tingle. You won't be disappointed with Raw Phase Photos! Thank you so much for your beautiful work!!
