About Me
Who said laid-back couldn’t mean luxury?
You want a photographer who is going to be there for you every step of the way.
You’re not interested in working with a photographer who shows up to take pictures on a shot list only to dip out a few hours later without saying goodbye.
You want to work with someone who notices all the details and wants to document them at every angle so you end up with a stunning final gallery of images you can’t wait to have printed.
Hey, I’m Ray!
I’m a Seattle luxury wedding photographer specializing in a laid-back experience that doesn’t skimp on the details. When I’m not photographing weddings you can find me curating Spotify playlists, drinking milk tea, or riding my Peloton.
LET’S START AT THE VERY BEGINNING
Before I was a professional photographer, I was just a guy with a dreaded 9-5.
After years of doing photography on nights & weekends and then getting laid off from my corporate job, I decided to pursue my passion of photography full-time after encouragement from family and friends. Now I photograph couples living out their “best day ever” no matter the size.
I’m all about…
01
Collaboration
IT’S LIKE HAVING A BEST FRIEND WITH PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS WHO WORKS WITH YOU TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
02
Fun
YOU WANT MOMENTS WHERE YOU TOTALLY FORGET THERE’S A CAMERA IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE ENJOYING THE MOMENT TOO MUCH TO NOTICE.
03
Trust
IT’S YOUR BIGGEST DAY EVER AND YOU WANNA MAKE SURE YOU HIRE A PHOTOG WHO HAS YOUR BACK.
Get to know me.
I HAVE A 198 WEEK (AND COUNTING) READING STREAK ON MY KINDLE.
I used to like physical books until I realized they hurt when they fell on my face.
MY FAVORITE PART OF EVERY MORNING IS MY MEDITATION PRACTICE.
It definitely comes in handy when photographing those 10 hour wedding days.
THE BEST CITY (BESIDES SEATTLE) IN MY OPINION IS NYC.
So many food spots to check out.
I CAN’T GO A WEEK WITHOUT DRINKING MILK TEA.
You’ll catch me sipping a black milk tea, 80% sweet, no boba (while editing your photos).
Feel like we’re the right fit? Let’s work together.

“Working with Ray was an absolute joy from start to finish!”
“His planning process was seamless, and he made sure to understand our vision while adding his creative touch. The communication leading up to the photoshoot day was fantastic—Ray was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely excited to be part of our special moment.
During the photo session, his warm personality immediately put us at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a fun and memorable one. Ray’s ability to capture candid, authentic moments is truly remarkable. The images we received are not just photographs; they’re cherished memories frozen in time, each telling a unique story.
If you’re thinking about hiring Ray, we wholeheartedly encourage it. He’s not just a photographer; he’s a storyteller who beautifully crafts moments we’ll treasure forever.”
