    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!

    Ray + Kelly Photography's reply:

    Oh my, thank you both so much for the kind words! We loved reading this :) are super grateful to have been able to work with you both. We're still in awe of that gorgeous property!!

    Cheers!

    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 : )

    Ray + Kelly Photography's reply:

    You two! We loved working with you and getting to know you both, so much! Thank you for your incredibly kind words. xx

    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!!

    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!

    Stunning photography!

    Ray and Kelly are lovely professionals - providing unobtrusive coverage of our daughter's wedding Mass and reception. The photos coming from their work are breathtaking. Thank you ~

    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!

    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!

    From day one of wedding planning, everyone we spoke with said to prioritize photographs. Why? Because those will be instant access to your memories and insights into all the seconds that fly by where you can't necessarily stop to breathe, look around, and appreciate the beauty. What they didn't know when they gave that advice was that those memories with Ray + Kelly go back to when you first speak. I won't forget anytime soon our Skype meetings, the thoughtful gestures leading up to our day, or the friendship formed when spending the best day of my life with people who were strangers months ago. They are superheroes who illuminate your celebration and life.

    We used Ray + Kelly for a small winter wedding ceremony and a summer reception party. They were great to deal with the whole planning process - very responsive to emails and sent a few fun things along the way. The actual days of the events, they were prompt and up for anything. You forgot you were having your pictures taken and were just having fun with them. They're genuinely kind and good additions to your party! And oh yeah, the pictures. They are amazing! You won't regret having them as your photographers.

    Ray + Kelly were amazing to work with! Leading up to our wedding, we enjoyed all the fun messages that came our way- special touches that show they go above and beyond to make the experience as good as possible. Communication via introduction emails, skype sessions, and questionnaires made us feel comfortable when meeting them in person for the first time on our special day. I was surprised how Ray and Kelly made us feel so at ease that we essentially forgot they were photographers, since they felt like good friends. The photos Ray + Kelly captured were absolutely stunning! They had plenty of great snapshots of guests and were willing to take some classic poses, but overall the photos we treasure are the artistic shots that share the story of our wedding day. A highlight of the evening was when Ray + Kelly stole us away for the ‘Golden Hour’ and allowed us to spend some quality time while they captured our interactions in the beautiful light of dusk. Ray + Kelly exceeded our expectations and we are thankful we found them!

    From the beginning days of planning our wedding, Ray + Kelly and their incredible artistry were an absolute joy. Their warmth and incomparable style were such a gift to us on our day. We could not be happier with the invaluable experience of sharing our day with them, two of the kindest souls imaginable!, and for the perfect art that they pulled out of our day. We are so grateful, and they are the BEST!

    Ray & Kelly were the perfect choice for our wedding photographers. They were incredibly kind and fit in naturally to our day, thanks to easy-going and professional personalities. And then there's the product: their photos captured so many beautifully candid, natural, and joyful moments and people that day! We were so incredibly happy with the memories capture in their photos (and we get compliments on them all the time!).

    Working with these two is such a joy. When we talked about what we wanted out of our wedding photos the one thing we wanted most was photography that told a story, they achieved that so perfectly. The photos of us are beautiful and artful and we will cherish them all the days of our lives. However, the photos of our family and friends is where we feel these two just surpassed all our expectations. They were able to truly capture the essence of everyone's personality. From the initial contact and following conversations to the energy they bring on the wedding these two are the most lovely version of professional.

    Ray and Kelly were such a joy to work with! They really made an effort to get to know us before our wedding and we felt so comfortable around them despite never having met in-person. We wanted photos that looked natural and not overly-posed, and they really delivered. Their outdoor photos are stunning, and they were able to capture so many candid moments of our friends and family. We couldn't be happier with choosing Ray and Kelly to photograph our wedding!

    Ray +Kelly are absolutely wonderful! From start to finish they really made us feel like they were not only going to be there as our hired photographers to document our day, but that they would be there as our friends. Fitting in seamlessly with every part of our wedding day and telling a story all along the way. We could not be more happy with the images they captured for us. We love them..... the photos, and more importantly Ray + Kelly!

    Ray and Kelly were all we wanted in wedding photographers and more! Before we were engaged, we knew they were going to be the ones documenting our big day. We loved the candid shots of our guests, family, and ourselves. Whenever we look at our wedding photos (which is quite often!), we can feel the emotion they captured. They truly are talented storytellers. Ray and Kelly were so comfortable to work with and exceeded all expectations (communication, quality of images, etc).

    Ray + Kelly are absolutely amazing. The most mundane picture can become beautiful through their eyes. If you're looking for real artists for your wedding, they are by far the best I've seen. Despite how amazing their photography is, what really drew me to choosing them as my photographers was their interest in us throughout the process and trying to get to know us better. It made the experience personal and we have beautiful photographs to remember our day by.

    Ray + Kelly are wonderful people, and wonderful photographers. We wanted low-key, beautiful photos that captured the spirit of the day without feeling like we were posing for a bunch of photos. Ray + Kelly absolutely delivered: it was a stress-free experience, and we have gorgeous photos to remember the day with.

    If you are thinking of going with Ray + Kelly, do it! You will not be disappointed. Visit their blog or website, and their pictures will speak for themselves. They have a unique way of capturing the story of a wedding day and displaying everyone's most beautiful self. They are also just genuinely amazing people to get to know and work with. We had such a great experience with Ray + Kelly, and would recommend them to any friends for any occasion. If you want unique pictures that you will look at over and over, and that family and friends will swoon over, go with Ray + Kelly!

    Ray + Kelly were an absolute pleasure to work with! From skype meeting with them beforehand to our engagement shoot and our actual wedding day, they made everything easy and enjoyable. We found them by perusing the many wedding blogs, and we loved their use of natural light and their ability to capture the day without posed and set-up shots. We were really busy the summer before our wedding and we very much appreciated that they worked around our schedules to meet with and do an engagement shoot. They're also laid back and fit in easily with our family and friends, which made everyone so much more relaxed. They made it a point to get to know us ahead of time and the quality of the results really showed they knew us and what we were looking for. We would work with Ray and Kelly again anytime and would highly recommend them for any wedding!

    I could not be happier with Ray and Kelly. We knew at our first meeting that we wanted to work with them. From the start, they made it a point to get to know us. They told us that they wanted us to be comfortable and to see them as friends rather than just wedding vendors. And they meant it. They asked questions about our lives and each other. We communicated mostly by email and they were always thorough and prompt. They sent us little tokens to let us know how excited they were to be at our wedding. It was such a sweet way to let us know they cared.
    We did engagement photos and had to reschedule a few times because we wanted to shoot outdoors with snow. They were very accommodating, and we finally were able to make it work. The pictures turned out beautifully.
    Their demeanors are so warm and kind. At the wedding, they blended into our family and friends in such a wonderfully seamless way. They make a concerted effort to not be in the way when shooting. We had several guests comment on how friendly and considerate Ray and Kelly were.
    When we received our photos, I was blown away with the quality, detail, and artistry of them. What was even more surprising was that they caught moments which we didn’t even realize occurred. Not only did they capture the physical beauty of the day, there is an emotional aspect that puts their photos over the top. The photos truly tell the story of our wedding day.
    With everything said, they have a very journalistic style. We did very few posed shots. Most, if not all, were captured naturally. We trusted them completely and felt no need to outline what photographs were necessary. If you have a list of “must have shots” or like cutesy wedding photos, they probably aren’t the photographers for you, even though they would be happy to line up any shot that was requested.
    I can’t stress enough how much I enjoyed working with Ray and Kelly. They are the best.

    We can't recommend Ray and Kelly enough!! They work so well together and make you feel so comfortable, that you almost forget they are there! They not only captured tear-jerking shots of us as a couple but we were so surprised and excited to see all of the candid shots they took of our loved ones. Seeing beautiful pictures of our friends and family enjoying the day really meant a lot to us. It let us see our wedding in a way that we didn't get to experience that day. There are a few posed pictures that we requested but our favorites are the ones that really captured the moment we were enjoying. We still continue to get countless compliments on our photos. We also got our photos back SO fast! You will not be disappointed!
