About

Hello! We’re Ray and Kelly – we love documenting moments that matter.

Our photos show real life. We believe that truly beautiful photos come from couples who feel like themselves and show love that is genuinely theirs.

Other than creating images that are honest, artistic, and filled with beauty, our biggest goal while using our cameras is to form real friendships. We always feel the best and most timeless images we have ever made are of people we can call friends.

We see weddings as a story about a couple and their families and we strive to capture your day as a story with depth, joy, life, and motion.

We’re based out of SW Wisconsin, but are available for travel… please contact us to tell us about your day.

We're excited to connect!

Reviews of Ray + Kelly Photography

We don't have enough superlatives to reflect how happy we are with our choice of wedding photographers!

Our experience with Ray and Kelly from initial contact to receiving our photos has been joyful and comforting. Finding the right photographers to document our wedding day was so important to us: we had a specific idea for what that photography would look and feel like. Ray and Kelly took time to get to know us and understand our unique vision, then they made it all come to life through their photos. They are such a joy to work with—professional, thoughtful, creative. There are so many details and special little moments we would have forgotten if not for Ray and Kelly’s incredible story telling through their photography. Now, looking through all these artistic, beautiful, whimsical pictures Ray and Kelly took feels like reliving our wedding day!

An Absolute Treasure

I'm genuinely excited for anybody who has the opportunity to book Ray and Kelly for their wedding (or any other special occasion or branding opportunity). They took the time to get to know my partner and I, they understood our vision and values, and they were able to capture the moodiness of the weather, venue, and people (lol). Our wedding was small (50 guests) and somewhat informal (no ceremony, no vows, just eating/drinking/dancing at a friend's 80-acre property). Lots of DIY vibes, very simple. R+K worked their magic and gave us photographs that we will laugh and cry about over and over again. If you have to make budgetary concessions in other areas (like we did) to make it work, you will not regret it. Ray and Kelly make you feel loved, seen, appreciated, and they also create cute opportunities for you to bond with your partner before the big day!

Truly wonderful

Ray and Kelly are the absolute BEST!! We were married June of 2022 and they were a dream - Our photos turned out amazing, and throughout the entire process they were professional, communicative, detailed, and above all, friendly and easy to work with, every step of the way. Can't say enough good things about them : )

Beautiful pictures and wonderful people to work with

Words cannot describe how thankful we are that Ray and Kelly photographed our wedding. First of all they are wonderful people who are incredibly easy to work with. We were planning from afar but they used phone calls and easy (and fun) surveys to make sure they knew us and understood what we wanted them to capture prior to the day of. While we have some posed photos of family and friends the true beauty of Ray and Kelly is their ability to capture the emotion and little interactions that may be forgotten if not preserved in a photo. We did not have a videographer and instead chose to have them do a motion picture (check out their website for examples). It is such a work of art! We would choose them 100 times over again.

The Perfect Team

Ray and Kelly seem like the perfect professional team when you meet them, and they really are! Everything went so well on our wedding day and not once was I worried about the quality of the photos or not having a certain moment captured, instead we could just relax. After our wedding they provided regular updates on the status of our images and delivered them so quickly--and of course they were perfect. If you want beautiful photos and a stress free wedding day pick Ray & Kelly!

Still searching for a wedding photographer? Stop here!

My deepest gratitude goes out to Ray and Kelly, for creating memories of our happiest day that will last a lifetime! WORTH EVERY PENNY. I am thrilled with the product- it was everything I wanted for our wedding photos and more; creative content, traditional family shots, candid moments captured in a contemporary manner, and documentation of details I missed on our big day (dessert table, guest interactions, flowers, table settings, etc- you'd be surprised how much you don't actually see on your big day!!). Most importantly, Ray and Kelly are kind, fun-loving individuals who had an obvious passion for their work. They even went above and beyond by using one of our own film cameras during the day as well. Choosing Ray + Kelly Photography was easily the best decision we made for our wedding!!

Power Couple!

Ray & Kelly were evreything we ever dreamed of in wedding photographers. We got married in Wisconsin and currently live in Oregon so they took the time to skype with us and get to know us and make sure it was a good fit. They provide clear information on their pricing and knew exactly what to expect of them. They communicated so well up until the wedding day and arrived on time looking awesome! During the actual wedding day they were amazing at placing themselves naturally into the occassion, sometimes you didn't even notice they were there. We didn't want alot of 'posed' pictures, so the ones we did do with family, they got them done quickly and effectively so we could enjoy the time with our friends and family instead of spending hours taking photos. They are truly really lovely people and we loved getting to know them, they made our day that much better! From what we have seen so far, we love our photos, they have a true eye for capturing all the emotions of such an important day. They are very skilled at candid photos and notice the little details, which I appreciate. I can't reccomend them enough and will be honored to have them as photographers for any events we have in the future. They were the perfect choice. Thanks Ray and Kelly!

Love and Joy From People to Portraits

This review is long overdue and our apologies go out to R+K as we did not reciprocate the professionalism and responsiveness they gave us throughout our wedding journey. However, it is better late than never! Ray and Kelly photographed our wedding on May 27, 2018, but our relationship with them goes back to the first time we talked. One may not think you can have a relationship with your wedding photographers, but that is what sets Ray and Kelly apart. They are a personable, charming, engaging, courteous, considerate, and lighthearted couple who takes the time to fully understand the relationship you have with your spouse and the way that they can capture your wedding day. Through multiple video chats, phone calls, and fun surveys or questionnaires, we got to tell R+K who we were, but we also got to know them. They are wonderful people to say the least!
As for their photography, it was absolutely exceptional. We wanted a photographer that would capture the joy and emotion of the day rather than just the smiles, hugs, and dances. They knew the exact shots to take that showed the genuine love and friendships that had been built leading up to the wedding day and were personified on the day itself.
Turnaround time for a sneak-peak picture slideshow was about 1 month and the full set of images soon after that, which was beyond our expectations. The process for putting together the wedding album was very simple and easy. They allowed us to modify and change pictures and layouts as we pleased and the end product was unbelievable. The pictures are so precise and detailed, it truly took us back to the wedding day.
We would highly, highly recommend Ray and Kelly as your wedding photographer! Our deepest thanks goes out to them for everything they did for us, and we know they will do for you. Thanks Ray and Kelly!

Ray and Kelly were perfect. I will expound on that just Incase you are still undecided on whether or not to ask them to shoot your wedding! They exceeded my expectations in every way, a few of my family members questioned my judgment on setting my budget for photography but I can say in all honestly they are worth every penny and more and those who questioned 100% agreed with me after meeting Ray and Kelly and seeing our pictures. The work that they did and the photos that we have are priceless. Looking back at our wedding day my husband and I can’t imagine it without Ray and Kelly there! They were able to blend in and it felt like we had known them for years! They worked together as a perfect team and it was awesome having two different angles. Ray and Kelly were among one of the highlights of our wedding and one of the best decisions we could have made in our planning!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
