Rayan Anastor Photography

of her colleagues to help me find somebody she assured me would be equally as great ;) while I didn’t get to snatch up my date with her, it says a lot that she would lend a helping hand to help me out with finding somebody with a similar style! Thanks Rayan!

r first look photos. She helped us deal with some issues at The Homestead and was the easiest part of our wedding planning due to her experience. She made us feel comfortable and was very easy to work with when getting our pictures taken. The pictures came back with a great natural quality without being over edited. Whether you get married at The Homestead or anywhere else in Northern Michigan, she should be your go to photographer!

She is humorous. My husband and I absolutely loved working with her. She suggested so many unique and exciting shots! At one point we were walking deep into the pine trees and normally I would have been freaking out about my shoes, but I trusted her so much that I knew she was going to give us the most stunning photos. I don't even have my wedding pics yet and I'm writing this review because I KNOW they will be flawless; just the 4 teaser pics she sent us blew us away. She is such a hard worker too; she stayed the ENTIRE day, and I mean, until the last song. She busted her butt, got down on the floor, stood on chairs...anything she needed to do to get the BEST shots. I could go on forever about how special she made our day, but her work speaks for itself. Hiring her to shoot our photos was the best decision I made for our wedding. She is the ABSOLUTE BEST and we love her :)

special moment without us even noticing! I CANT WAIT for the final pictures, but I am so in love with the few previews I've seen. I can't recommend her enough. <3 I couldn't have imagined having anyone else for us on our special day.

absolutely LOVE her landscape photos, but we told her we wanted close ups too. Rayan listened to what we were looking for as a couple and I couldn't have asked for more. The photos were amazing...a perfect balance between landscapes, close ups, family photos, dancing, colors, and black/whites. She really captured every moment of our day. I'm the first to get married in my large family, and all of my family members will be booking her for their weddings, everyone was so impressed with the quality of the photos, her kind and fun personality, and her professionalism. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any and everyone! Thank you Rayan for sharing your amazing talent!

io we knew we had to meet her. Rayan is one of the most genuine people we have ever met. She is someone who honestly loves to capture moments of love. She gives back so much more than beautiful photos. Rayan gave us an experience we will never forget during our engagement session and her presence on our wedding day was exactly the kind of support we needed. We could not imagine anyone else navigating the day so closely with us. Rayan's work ethic and creativity is unrivaled, words honestly can't express how incredible her talent and personality are. We will always go to Rayan for life's precious moments. If you're thinking about meeting her for your wedding, do it. You won't be disappointed.

of the moments she captured when we got our photos. We simply couldn't ask for anything more. They are beyond our wildest expectations! On the day of our wedding, Rayan was extremely professional, responsive, and flexible. I felt like she really listened to us, and accommodated our families as well. Our photographs don't look posed, and Rayan really made us both feel at ease with the camera there. I can't recommend Rayan enough -- she is so talented and a kind person. We will miss working with you, Rayan!!

otos back I loved every single one.

I've ever met! She was fabulous in all regards. She made sure we got all photos we wanted and even more, due to her creativity! I would highly recommend her!

bonus! Rayan kept the pace of the day moving, kept us calm and at ease, and captured some of the most stunning photos I've ever seen! I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her there for our wedding day, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

hes, or wherever she could to find the perfect angle/shot. She made it easy to not look posed after taking shot after shot. She kept in contact with me throughout the planning period and addressed any questions or concerns that I had. I highly recommend her and if I need a photographer for any future special occasions, she will definately be the person I contact. Love her!

pleasant to work with throughout the planning process and wonderful the day of. She was one of my best selections of the wedding, A++!!!!!

Rayan to shoot us! We are so thrilled that we found her and ended up being able to work with her. From the first time we talked she was so sweet and incredibly helpful. Rayan went back and forth with me discussing ideas for locations, the perfect time to catch the sunset, etc. She really went above and beyond. When it came time to take the photos, we went to Sleeping Bear and Peterson Road. She was so energetic and willing to do whatever it took to get the perfect shot. We climbed up the dunes, into the grass, wherever we had to go to get a great photo! She really made it fun for us and made us feel completely relaxed (even when being all lovey dove in front of a camera). If you need a photographer, you'd be crazy not to give Rayan a call. She really is the best!
