Emily & Dominic
Bride - Groom
Using Ray Anthony Photography was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. There is
nothing that I would have changed about my wedding day and every wonderful moment was captured in our
beautiful photographs. As these photos were very important to me, I picked out the ones for our album pretty
quickly and with only a few edits it was done in a flash.
Shaziah & Peter
Bride - Groom
I could not be happier with my wedding photographs. The pictures are absolutely stunning. Ray captured the
spirit and energy of our families, our celebration, and our love. I will treasure these photos forever.
Additionally, Ray and his crew were professional, courteous, and detail-oriented. I am proud to highly
recommend Ray Anthony Photography.
Ankur & Arushi
Bride - Groom
Ray is a true artist! Picking him as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. He captured
some amazing candid photos that we cherish and have framed in our home. He also worked with us before-
hand to ensure that we had all the portrait shots we wanted. One of the best things about Ray is that you
don't even know he's there - he documents the day as it happens and unfolds, and when you review your
wedding slideshow (which he puts together amazingly), you will feel like you are re-living your wedding all
over again. You can literally feel the emotion in his photos. Ray is amazing!

What Makes Us Different
Our documentary approach is guided by these three premises
01
Your Wedding Is Unique
The story of your wedding day from beginning to end is defined by you, your relationships, your personalities, the history of your lives leading up to this day, the locations of where you get ready, get married and celebrate. We only want to capture your story, not recreate photos from previous weddings or other photographers.
02
We Embrace Spontaneity
The story of your wedding doesn’t stop between the big moments: the kiss on the altar, cutting the cake or your first dance. That’s why we never switch off. We’ll be there all day, constantly looking to find interesting moments, the in-between moments, moments you are unaware of, focused on capturing dynamic documentary imagery.
03
We Allow You To Celebrate
By staying in the background, like a fly on the wall, we intentionally stay out of your way so that you can truly be in the moment, feel your emotions, connect with each other and celebrate! Our photos are about real moments that unfold during the day naturally. You will relive the feelings you felt every time you look at them.
If the photos here touch your heart of people you do not even know, imagine how your heart will feel after we photograph your wedding day story!
