About

Your wedding is a day you only plan on having once. It's a day in which a lifetime of memories are made but flies by. And because of that, it's a day you deserve to celebrate and feel at ease knowing you can trust your vendors explicitly. With 7-years and over 200 events worth of experience, I've picked up a few things on how to earn your trust. But to be honest, my talent doesn't lie in photography... My gift is being creative. And being a creative artist and photographer is about more than taking photos, it's about getting to know people. It's about knowing how to talk to them, encourage them, and help them feel comfortable. That professional experience, mixed with my personal experience of knowing how to function through the chaos of a huge family, is just one of the many reasons you'll feel safe with me in charge.

We cannot recommend Dray highly enough! He is the best!

We cannot recommend Dray highly enough! Not only is his work is beyond stunning, but he was such a joy to work with. Everything from our first call with him up through the wedding day was fun and seamless. His professionalism makes him so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and we entered our wedding weekend without any stress knowing we were in such capable hands. On the day, Dray is exactly who you want with you. His calming presence is a breath of fresh air, but he also makes the process really fun. He has the perfect balance of capturing organically special moments, while also helping pose you and your group for the perfect picture moments. We had the best day with Dray and the photos from our preview are already so gorgeous. We truly cannot recommend him enough, if you are looking for a fun, professional, and beyond talented photographer, Dray is your guy!!

Absolute Perfection

Let’s start with the obvious: Dray’s work is BEYOND incredible. His photos captured not just the details of the day, but the emotions we felt. We were absolutely blown away when we received our full galleries for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We loved all of them so much that it was hard to choose which ones to print out and frame. And everyone we showed them to, from our families to guests, were so impressed. Your photos will be works of art.

But more importantly than that, Dray, his wife Jaime, and his brother, Aaron, are so easy to work with and approach their work with obvious dedication and professionalism. We felt like we could fully enjoy the day and leave the hard work to the pros. Not only did Dray capture every shot we asked for, he captured details that I didn’t even think of asking for but would absolutely have if I had thought of it. One of my bridesmaids noted that he was the first photographer she met who actually gave posing advice (and she's been a bridesmaid in 5 other weddings), and it definitely makes a huge difference in the photos. He and Aaron were so prepared on the big day, knew all the best photo spots, and kept us on time for our schedule so we didn’t have to think of anything.

I could go on and on, but the biggest compliment I can give is that I didn’t stress about anything related to photography or timing thanks to Dray (and I am an over-thinker by nature). Bottom line: Choose Dray if you want flawless photos and a calming presence that will take away stress from your big day. You’ll be so happy you did!

The absolute best!

Dray is not only a wonderful photographer, but also a wonderful person. In addition to capturing our wedding day with Aaron (who is also wonderful!), he also travelled all the way to NYC to capture our engagement shoot in Central Park. He is a true artist. He has a great eye and did an amazing job capturing the relationship of my husband and I in our photos. He is also very easy to work with and is very responsive. We look forward to having him take our photos and buying some of his other artwork in the future!
