We wanted someone who understood the cultural significance of togetherness, family, and unity, and Raymond’s storytelling approach felt like the perfect fit. Our planner also spoke highly of his responsiveness, honesty, and flexibility, which made our decision even easier.

From the very first virtual meeting, Raymond and Paulo were professional, attentive, and patient. As a bride, feeling comfortable in front of the camera was important to me, and knowing the person behind the lens made a big difference. What truly impressed us was his dedication—he even showed up to our ceremony rehearsal (completely unprompted!) to study the space and ensure he fully understood our vision. His creativity and passion were evident from start to finish, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

On our wedding day, Raymond and his team went above and beyond. We had an intimate winter ceremony and dreamed of snowy forest vibes for our photos. When the weather didn’t cooperate, Raymond made magic happen—literally! He added snow effects to some of our photos, fulfilling our vision in the most thoughtful way. He captured every emotion we wanted to see: happiness, brotherhood, sisterhood, joyful tears, and families coming together. His ability to balance both beautifully posed and candid shots was incredible.

Beyond his talent, Raymond brought so much energy and fun to the day. One of our favorite memories was during my bridesmaids’ first look. As I was changing, my maid of honor tried to enter the room to grab a lint roller, unaware that seeing my dress would ruin the surprise. All I heard was Raymond shouting “NO!” multiple times, followed by a loud bang. Turns out, he physically dove to block the door, cameras slamming against it in the process—all in the name of preserving the moment!

Working with RAYIS Weddings was flawless from beginning to end. They made everything feel effortless, never like an added burden or "work." If you have a story to tell, Raymond is the one to tell it! I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also thoughtful, energetic, and fully invested in bringing their vision to life. A selfish part of me wants to keep Ray a secret so we have exclusive access to him for all our future photography needs, but he truly deserves all the recognition!

Thank you, Raymond & the RAYIS team, for capturing the heart and soul of our special day. We will cherish these memories forever!
