    Ray Anthony, you, made our wedding perfect.

    Even now, thinking back about our wedding, I smile remembering how Ray Anthony added so much to our wedding day. We live in Australia and therefore our destination wedding in the USA meant we could only meet Ray the night before our wedding. And as we knew it would be, for us it was a match made in heaven. He was a perfect fit for our wedding, he was the only photographer for us.

    He not only captures moments in time, he captures the atmosphere and emotions of that moment. The quality of his photos are amazing. His service is exceptional. His knowledge of the locations meant each and...

    Ray is truly a gifted photographer! He is kind, professional, easy going, and a master of his craft. The images he captured are gorgeous! He has an awesome eye and we love how he documented all the emotion and details of the day. He is immensely talented and we are so grateful he was a part of our wedding!

    We were very happy with Ray Anthony as our wedding photographer. We love his website--he described his style really well and there are many examples of his work (you get a very good idea of what kind of product you will get). His style is primarily photo-journalistic; he captures candid, un-posed moments in beautiful photographs. Yet he is also flexible, such that he was willing to do the many portraits that my family required. I felt my wedding was small and simple compared to the elaborate weddings that he does, but we nevertheless got gorgeous photos (people are constantly flying him out of state to do these huge weddings!). He is thorough and plans well in advance of the...

    The funny thing about a wedding it’s only one day! But, the wedding photos will last a life time. We did not want the typical portrait type shots. You know, the kind that collects dust in a box or album in your basement. We wanted the unforgettable moments! The ones that you will look at and say “wow, look at my family and friends and would make you cry as you recall that moment and relive it all over again” The type of shots that you want to frame every single one of them in your home! Ray knows how to make moments come alive again, the unforgettable! He is a truly talented and extremely professional! His work is...

    When I first spoke to Ray Anthony, I knew that he was the photographer I wanted to capture my wedding memories. Ben and I went to California to have our engagement session with Ray Anthony- we had so much fun and the pictures were amazing. The countdown was on to the wedding :)

    Ray Anthony has to be one of the most talented people in the industry. He is so professional. I remember during our phone consultation before the wedding he asked permission to be in the back of church in order to capture that moment before my dad walked me down the aisle. I said absolutely, and Ray Anthony captured that smile I gave my dad- something...

    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. Both Ray and his wife were kind, professional, fast, and delivered on everything that they promised. Our photos, including our canvas print (which I love!), and our album are displayed all around our house--I love showing them off. Even 5 years later, people still compliment us on how beautiful our photos are and ask who was our photographer. Thank you Ray Anthony Photography for everything!

    I really cannot say enough about working with Ray Anthony. As most brides will tell you, the day goes by in the blink of an eye and you wake up the next morning married with only a faint recollection of the past 24 hours- its a blur. This is how I felt until I got my proofs back from Ray. Suddenly I was not only able to piece together this incredible day, but I was able to relive it and all its emotion over and over (and over and over) again. Of course he will get those standard posed group shots, but what makes him so incredible is his ability to capture the small little moments, the ones you...

    We shopped extensively for our wedding photographer. Since my husband is a photographer himself, we knew every well what we were looking for. Ray is a full time professional photographer. During our shopping process, we found that many photographers out there use post-processing heavily, which we didn't really want. Most of our pictures from him are original with very limited post-processing, if any. Because we live in Boston, it was challenging to schedule a meeting or engagement section in person. Ray was flexible enough to fly in on a weekend to do an engagement for us. Through this process, we got to know each other and learned about each other's style. We also found his service to be of...

    I truly loved Ray's approach and style of photography for my wedding...he captured the day and evening as it unfolded naturally and created a beautiful album for us to always remember the day in its entirety. Ray grasped the essence of our wedding location and somehow always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to get the perfect photographs of us, family, and friends! All in all we are extremely happy with Ray and truly appreciate his fantastic work.
    Thank you,
    Robert and Dana

    My wife and I are so happy Ray Anthony took our wedding pictures. My wife was worried about all the things that may go wrong on the wedding day. Ray calmed her nerves and told her to trust him. She did, and Ray over-delivered on his promise. Our wedding pictures are the most beautiful pictures we have ever seen? Ray got every shot of every special moment. He captured them all and brought the pictures to life. My family and friends were amazemed at how beautiful the wedding album turned out. My mother explained, “the emotions captured on the pictures make me feel like I am reliving the wedding”. My wife and I would like to thank Ray Anthony...

    Ray Anthony Photography is the best possible choice you could make for an event photographer. It's been a while since our wedding and we only just recently finished choosing the photos for our album, it was difficult considering the amount and quality. We stuck with Ray's preferred method of few poses and allowed him to capture the event in a more natural way, and each photo is perfect, telling a special story from our very special day. He is a natural documentary photographer, able to figure out important relationships and people's quirks, while blending into the background and freezing in time the most candid moments of your day. I could go on forever about how much I love our...

    We had the pleasure of meeting Ray at my sister in laws wedding where we were instantly in love with his photography approach and incredible personality. Five years later we were thrilled to call and ask Ray to be a part of our big day as well. As a couple, our biggest concern was the ability of the photographer to capture the "realness" of our wedding day and the personalities of those involved in or celebration. As a bride, my biggest concern was selecting a photographer whom I was comfortable with and felt could help me remain cool and collected on my wedding day. Ray met and exceeded all of our expectations in these areas.

    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!

    I did a lot of research on photojournalistic style photography in SE Michigan before our wedding and came across Ray Anthony.....his work definitely looked superior on his website, so I decided he was exactly what I wanted in a photographer. I was a bit concerned about our venue and its lack of nice looking backgrounds for photos, and I warned him about it but he said he could work with it no matter what. He was right....our photos were amazing! One of my bridesmaids who does photography as a hobby said she'd see something happening during the ceremony or reception that would make a perfect pic, and before she could even say anything he was already there taking shots....

    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.

    Ray Anthony Photography did an outstanding job capturing our destination wedding in Longboat Key, Florida. His images were beyond our wildest expectations and he was a joy to work with. He is truly a master in his field! We treasure the fact that he was able to document our special day for us with exceptional imagery and are still amazed when we are transported back to our wedding day every time we look through our album. Ray is no doubt the best!

    One of the things my husband and I both agree on is that hiring Ray as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly down-to-earth. After the first meeting, we knew we would be in good hands with Ray. When our big day finally arrived he and his assistant arrived on time; he was very discreet through the hustle and bustle of getting ready so I never felt uncomfortable with him around; and he really listened to us when we requested specific poses or backdrops. We were blown away by the creativity, the quality, and the true artistry of each photo. Friends, family, and even strangers have made...
