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.

Mossa/Degnan wedding

We are so grateful we chose Stephen Dray as our wedding photographer. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, calm, and easy to work with, which made the whole day feel even more relaxed and enjoyable. He captured every important moment beautifully while also catching so many natural moments we’ll treasure forever. His attention to detail and ability to make everyone feel comfortable really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Stephen Dray to anyone looking for an incredible photographer for their special day.

Best Wedding Photographer Ever

Choosing Steven Dray was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. So easy to work with from start to finish - responsive, understood our vibe, got to know us during our engagement shoot (as well as our dog!), and was super flexible and easy going on the day of. We simply had so much fun. As these photos had to capture the emotions of the wedding day and are what we have to remember it by, we knew we had to hire the right guy, and boy did Dray deliver. He got all of the photos I knew I wanted plus tons more, inspired cool shots and helped us pose, brought out personality in the wedding party photos, you name it. Go with Dray, you'll be so thrilled.

The best wedding photographer

✨ Still not over how AMAZING our wedding photos turned out! ✨
Steven Dray absolutely blew us away — every single shot is pure magic. They captured the big moments, the tiny details, and all the emotions in between. 💕

You made us feel so comfortable in from of the camera!

Not only are the photos stunning, but Steven Dray was such a joy to have around on the day — calm, creative, and somehow everywhere at once! Our guests loved them just as much as we did.

Once we got our sneak peaks, we were speechless. The colors, the lighting, the emotion...it's everything we dreamed of and more. These aren't just photos -- they're memories we'll treasure forever!

If you're getting married, do yourself a favor and book Steven Dray immediately. You won't regret it!. 📸✨

Steven Dray Photography

If you are considering using anyone else but Steven Dray Photography stop right now and think again. From booking through wedding day Dray was absolutely unmatched. When making the investment into your wedding photographer you can not make a better investment into booking with Dray. We are so happy with our sneak peaks and can not wait to see the rest or our collection!

The hype is real...

RUN DON’T WALK. It simply does not get any better than Steven Dray photography. As an out of state bride who is not from Pittsburgh, I spent an ungodly amount of time researching photographers, and across the board, the feedback I received was consistent – Steven Dray and his team are the ones to work with – and let me tell you, they sure lived up to the hype!!!!

As a bride and groom (esp. the groom, ha) who aren’t the most comfortable being photographed - Steven did an incredible job making us feel at ease from the moment we reached out to him. Steven and Jaime (his wife/right hand, former wedding coordinator herself!!) were extremely genuine and helpful. Every interaction felt sincere, and you could tell that Dray really cares for his clients. From our intro call to the big day (…and even after!!) the Dray team went above and beyond to make the entire process so enjoyable and seamless. Dray and his team were great communicators and provided suggestions and advice when I found myself in a few different wedding debacles; working with the Dray Team, you will hear from them consistently, and they are an incredible resource for all things wedding, not just photography. Which – I was not aware of when we booked with him but is such an amazing touch and deserves to be highlighted!!

In addition to being the warmest and sincere team out there, Dray and his team were truly phenomenal on our big day!! Genuinely, I believe every angle, moment, funny interaction, etc.. was captured by him and his team, and the results are absolutely amazing. The Dray Team has an incredible way of capturing genuine moments that bring you right back in time, while also capturing beautifully orchestrated moments as well. His creativity and versatility are insane, and the outcomes speak for themselves.

As the bride, me and my bridal party had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Dray, and everyone was RAVING about him. His laid-back, easy-going demeanor is so nice to have around, and he does a great job of just letting you be as you are on your big day, while also making you comfortable with being out of your comfort zone at times (again – not the fondest of being in front a camera!!). We all really enjoyed having Dray around and are so thankful he was able to capture such precious moments while we got ready!

My husband also really enjoyed working with Dray and his team. As a guy who really despises being in front of a camera, Dray and his team did an incredible job of making him comfortable and at ease. Again, Dray’s easy-going demeanor, intuitiveness, and approach really made such a difference, and we have incredible photos to prove it!

We are so grateful for the Dray Team and urge everyone to work with them!!!

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!

10/10 Recommend!!

Cannot recommend Dray enough, he absolutely DELIVERED for our wedding. He made the process so easy and comfortable every step of the way. Wedding photos are one of the only things you take away from your special day, so we wanted to make sure we invested in a photographer who is professional and knows how to capture every special moment and detail flawlessly. He did that and more - we had so much fun shooting our engagement photos and then wedding photos. He is a wonderful person to work with and exceeded our expectations in every area. Thank you Dray!! #DrayNation

I have more great things to say about Dray but my characters allowed are capped.

Dray was on top of things before the wedding and made sure to communicate what was most important for our wedding day. On the day of the wedding he showed up and was ready to go! None of the photos ever felt forced and apart from the necessary family portraits, he let Tyler and I guide the day while offering his expertise for locations and lighting. Looking at the photos I have already received I feel beautiful and confident, something that is sometimes hard for brides who have spent an entire engagement trying to improve appearances in one way or another. The photos I received captured the happiness I felt on the day of my wedding. Thank you Dray!

Best Vendor Choice!

Don’t walk, RUN to hire Steven Dray as your wedding photographer! I am absolutely blown away by the magic created with his photography. We had both our engagement and wedding photos done with Dray. He instantly made us feel SO comfortable, I really couldn’t believe it. My husband especially doesn’t love getting his picture taken, and I was so impressed with the ease we felt during our engagement session and subsequently our wedding day. Dray is so passionate about his work and people, and it really shows. The photographs so far have been out of this world and I cannot wait to see the rest! Best ever.
