Ray Prop Photography

he could. He is professional, talented, fun, and asked me what I liked and what I expected from him. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera and he made us feel great! I had SEVERAL guests ask me who he was because they were so impressed with his work ethic. I loved that he got very involved in our wedding day without stepping on any of our toes. I highly recommend choosing Ray Prop and his team for your big day!

. He was extremely professional and made us feel super supported throughout the whole wedding planning process. He was such a great photographer on the wedding day itself and really brought out the best in everybody and captured so many beautiful shots. The photos are breathtaking. I would hire Ray again in a heartbeat and plan on doing so for the life events to come!!

and makes the day go smoothly. He is professional and fun to work with. We appreciate everything that he did for our wedding. Ray is simply the best!

truly cares about capturing what is important to his customers. Ray met with us multiple times before our wedding date to discuss details and gain our input. He was organized and made sure we outlined exactly what images we couldn't live without. He even went as far as asking which people were most important to us to ensure he took pictures of important family members and friends throughout the day. I drew up a timeline of our wedding day, and Ray provided honest insight regarding the logistics of the day. My husband and I married on a cold, rainy day in October. I DREADED the rain in the forecast the entire week leading up to our wedding day because I thought the pictures would be "ruined." I will gladly admit that was not the case! Ray and Nick were amazing to work with - they stuck it out through the rain and captured BEAUTIFUL images. They were flexible with the weather, professional, and fun! Yes, we have posed pictures, but they captured intimate moments throughout the entirety of our day that were not planned. Ray frequently communicated with us regarding our images. When he delivered our digital album, I was so impressed at the talent! He and Nick took pictures of us and our wedding party, but they dedicated some time to taking pictures of all of our guests. We were so happy to be able to relive a lot of our reception that was missed simply due to the chaos of the day. After our wedding, Ray also met with us on multiple occasions to plan the design of our wedding album. He even delivered our wedding album to us at our home!! The wedding album is gorgeous - a classic keepsake. Currently, we are waiting on our canvases, and we have full confidence they will exceed our expectations. Ray is personable and seasoned in his line of work. The man knows what he is doing! If you are searching for a wedding photographer, look no further than Ray Prop Photography.

to shoot our special day.

e day all over again which is how your pictures should be. Overall we would highly recommend him as your wedding photographer.

didn't even know you wanted. He has a way of making you feel so relaxed and reminds you to just enjoy each moment. What makes Ray stand out even more than his amazing work, is that he is so much more than a photographer! He was seriously my saving grace the day of our wedding! He helped fix my dress when even my wedding coordinator couldn't fix it! He kept me calm when the stressors of the day started to creep in and he frequently checked to make sure everything was going just as I had envisioned it! Never missing a picture along the way! He really does go above and beyond and makes you feel like you are spending your day with a friend, not a photographer! We love you Ray!!

s at the venue. I have been known to be a bit non-photogenic (e.g. blinking or smiling awkward, kind of like Chandler from Friends), but he was able to make the most out of me. The photos turned out great, giving this timeless quality without over emphasizing on fancy effects. Thanks Ray!!!

ces from our friends there was no shopping around us. We knew exactly who we wanted. We went with Ray because his photos are never overly edited compared to everything else we saw. At first it seems cool to have photos with special lighting and effects, but then we thought about it and realize that we want authentic shots of our big day. So that's why we went with Ray. Ray was able to capture amazing moments between people. We see the personaility our loved ones in every picture. We are truly grateful for all of the moments he captured, and we know these pictures will last more than a lifetime. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For this reason, it is difficult to express in words both the beauty of Ray’s photos and the wonderful experience of working with him. Throughout the whole experience, he was extremely responsive to any questions we had. He was also great leading up to the big day helping us plan out how to best coordinate family, photos, and the wedding. Without him it would not have been such an amazing day. We would totally recommend Jeff and his team to any bride and groom. You won't be disappointed!

d shot through the bars. The colors were so vibrant and lively. He pays attention to details so every shot is perfect. We found and met him as our wedding photographer but left as friends! He's always booked so call him now and I hope he gets to capture the magic of your wedding too! -Lee

rything we wanted and more!!!

day is captured in the best way possible. He always has an up-beat personality and an open mind. You can tell that he has a passion for what he does and understands that those moments are some of the most important ones that need to be remembered. His hard work and attention to detail is reflected in his final product. I highly recommend Ray and believe that anyone who is able to get him to photograph their wedding will be completely satisfied. Thank you again Ray! It was amazing.

sure to get to know us as a couple, ask for our input and get a grasp about what we really wanted from our photos. He took time he didn't have to - he really made us feel important and not just another one of his many clients. We LOVE our engagement pictures and are confident our wedding pictures will be just as great. He has an amazing eye for composition and capturing good, emotional moments. He made us feel comfortable; especially my now husband who hates taking pictures (even he admitted he had a good time during our session!). If you haven't chosen a photographer- choose Ray- you will be very happy you did!

urned out better than I could have possibly imagined. Ray has such a fun personality and his assistance are incredibly talented and nice too. I would hire them over and over again. He made my wedding even more memorable that it already was.

commenting that I had the best photographers, and I really did. Ray has also shot weddings for two of my friends, and all of his work is stunning. I would recommend him 100%

or to anything else you'll find.

e made sure we had a fun experience while also capturing some of the most beautiful moments during our engagement shoot and wedding photos. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married!

s clear he loves his job. Every little detail of the photo is important to him and you can tell he wants your pictures to turn out perfectly. He catches little things like a bridesmaid who had a hair tie on her wrist. He’s creative in the angles he catches and using backdrops of any kind. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding he photographed and we had so much fun with him - he made me want to get married again just so I could get more wedding photos. The photos turned out perfectly - they literally allowed us to relive every moment, every laugh, every smile of the wedding. Great job to Ray Prop Photography - highly highly recommended!

e an awkward and shy couple feel at ease in front of the camera, and gave us all the confidence for our big day. We highly recommend Ray and his team for any wedding and their work speaks for itself when looking at portfolios

advice on our ideas. He posed us as well as listened to ur needs. On the wedding day, he went above and anything I could have dreamed of and captured the most beautiful moments of ur wedding. He visited the site before hand and prepped us of what he was planning. Ray's not afraid to get down to capture the best shots. He slid on the ground several times to capture photos from the best angle. We got married at the City Museum and he thought up to shoot us in the ball pit. He literally climbed on top the ball pit cage on his belly just to shoot our photos. Ray captured the spirited essence of our wedding and we are so grateful and lucky he landed him. So good luck on securing him for your speciall day! You will be so pleased!

moments throughout our wedding day, and we couldn’t be happier with all of our beautiful photographs!

g, we had him come to my own in Washington DC. I have nothing but the ultimate respect in his work ethic, character and professionalism. He made taking wedding pictures enjoyable for me and my wife. His work speaks for itself and I will continue to recommend Ray and his team for anyone who requires professional photography.

otos!!

very comfortable. My wedding was out of St Louis and Ray made sure every second of the 4 day wedding was captured perfectly.

y on with my day and that he would direct us when needed. Such a relief for someone like me! We also loved his second photographer!! Pick Ray!!!

experience so much fun! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

how his professionalism showed through the whole day. He made us feel very comfortable at all times, he was very organized and his crew was excellent to work with. Seeing now his final product we are nothing but extremely happy with it. Such a talented photographer as well as a great individual. Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives in such a beautiful way!

for capturing special moments, and he provides so much more than your typical wedding portraits. He takes the time to get to know you and your spouse and come up with shots that represent YOU. On our wedding day, Ray and his crew were a joy to work with. They were so easy and fun, and made everyone feel comfortable. He came up with lots of fun shots in the moment and was able to adapt when we were locked out of one of the sites we wanted to take pictures in. Our guests were even impressed with how hard they worked, saying that they were everywhere snapping pictures all night long. We loved Ray, and we'll continue to recommend him to anyone and everyone!

nd tell our story. Not to mention, my wedding was on Christmas Eve but Ray was more than willing to shoot our wedding and got together a great team that was willing to spend part of the holidays with us! Another major plus point is that Ray was able to get along with my family and me, we all had a great time and a lot of fun working with him!

es and we wanted the love and beauty of the day captured as naturally and as real as possible. After researching forever and contacting many resources, we repeatedly were referred to Ray - and THANK GOODNESS! Ray was easy to work with - especially while attempting to plan a hometown wedding while living hours away. He made everyone comfortable in front of the camera and was so good humored the whole time! And then we got our photos... Speechless. I had tears as I watched our slide show and viewed the pictures. He nailed the day in storybook perfection! He captured the varying personalities of us and our families and friends to a tee. And one of our favorite photo shoots ended up being in a random field he spotted and that we would have never even considered. Ray really knows what he is doing and we are so glad he was a part of our special day!

acious, and his professionalism is exemplary. He will make the story of your love come to life.

ies around all day, someone who thought everything should revolve around their schedule. Ray was the PERFECT fit for us! He and his crew blended right into our wedding party, capturing the day as it unfolded instead of forcing us into it. We had multiple meetings before to express what my husband and I wanted and lay out how the day would go. Ray was professional, curtious, on time (early actually), and concerned with getting all the details he knew were important to capture. I would recommend him to anyone I know, and, as you can see by this review, strangers as well :)

essional while still enhancing the excitement and joy of the day; I knew then that they were the ones I wanted to capture all of the moments of our day. Although nothing went according to plan that day, Ray and Virginia made the best of the craziness and made sure that my husband and I had a moment alone for our first look and those are my most cherished of all of the photos we received. If I could go back, I would schedule them for longer and I would also book with video. I'm thankful for the photos we have as the day itself was such a blur, and if it weren't for Ray and Virginia, our wedding would be just a memory instead of a story we can now look through any time we want. Thank you both for all you have done, and I hope to use you again in the future for another big event!

ou on your wedding day. We chose Ray after meeting him because we clicked with him at our first meeting and it only got better from there. Ray understood it was our day and did his best to document it, not take it over like a prima donna. Perfect example: Ray scrambling up a bush covered hill to get the perfect shot of my wife and her father's first look. Ray didn't insert himself into the moment, just did what he had to do to get the right photo. Ray's second shooters were outstanding as well, friendly and professional. I recommend Ray every chance I get.

ur wedding day! Ray truly captured our personalities on film. He has a unique vision and photojournalistic approach that will tell the story of your love for years to come. Above all else, he is wonderful to work with and a great friend!

puts so much time into his work to make sure your photos and videos will be something you will cherish forever. He made sure to capture everything we wanted in our photos and would also suggest his own ideas as well. He even included a drone to take videos during pre-ceremony activities, the ceremony and reception! People could not stop commenting and complimenting our wedding because of it! He really went above and beyond for us and we cannot thank him enough. Most people have told me they do not receive their wedding photos until about 6 months after the wedding - he got us our photos within 2 months! This is the go-to photographer for your wedding!

made the process super easy. Top notch photos, awesome personality to work with, and super knowledgeable. I highly recommend Ray for any wedding photography.

resented to us during our first meeting with Ray looked and sounded like he was the best in the business, so we hired him. Ray and his team knocked it out of the park though out both events. He is very professional and fun to work with at the same time, there was never an awkward moment. We have a 7 year old son and Ray made both events about us as a family making this huge commitment and not just another couple getting married. He was truly a guest at our wedding and not just a photographer taking photos. If you hire Ray, you will see that he loves what he does and it really shows in his personality and his photos, thank you doesn’t even come close to our gratitude. Thanks Ray for being a part of that special time during our lives. You’re the best in the business in my book. Andrew Sheda

nted, worked with our budget, and produced some of the best photos. His team was very on top of getting the best shots possible and captured the day more perfectly than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend him and his team! Amazing job.

as exactly what we were looking for. Ray Prop is easy to talk to, easy to work with, and the pictures are incredible! We have a son and Ray Prop was great working with our son and making sure he was included, just like we wanted. I would recommend Ray Prop to anyone!

and beyond to get to us and to know what was important to us. He made us feel comfortable and we had a blast shooting engagement and wedding photos. His photography skills and creativity are AMAZINGLY over the top! His photography creates a story and he captures memories that you will be able to keep forever. I have received countless compliments on our wedding photos and everyone asks me, "Who is the amazing artist behind the photos?!". Ray Prop Photography is the way to go. I would rate him with 10 stars. If you want a photographer that will go above and beyond and exceed all expectations, CHOOSE RAY!
