    Amazing outdoor wedding photos!

    Ryan is amazing! The pictures are beautiful and exactly what I asked for. He gave great direction and made everyone involved feel comfortable. Stop looking for a wedding photographer, you've found him.

    Highly recommended!!

    I loved working with Ray Nard Imagemaker! Every step was thoughtful and professionally handled. He was able to work planning meetings around our schedule even though our time zone was 16 hours ahead. He was able to execute exactly what we had in mind and went above and beyond by taking time to scout locations ahead of time an hour away from where he is located! He helped both myself and my husband with posing and made us look great. The finished product is simply amazing! Overall knowing what I know now, I would pay double what I paid to work with Ray again and still think I got a great value!

    5 year Anniversary photos

    Ryan’s great to work with! He has done several other photo shoots for my family to capture all of the milestones in life. We had such a great time getting our 5 year anniversary photos taken and Ryan did a fantastic job! He not only made the experience fun and feel natural, but was very timely on his response with the photos to view!

    Great wedding photography experience

    Jackson was a pleasure to work with. He was helpful from the start and accommodated our shorter timeframe and distance to our wedding location. He took the time to get an understanding of what we were looking for, but in style and in what we wanted shot. The day of, he came prepped with various great ideas. He even surprised us with his drone and polaroid photos. He made us feel comfortable and directed us just the right amount, as this was our first time having professional photos taken. The photo turn around was very fast and they turned out even better than expected. Amazing bang for your buck. His rates were lower than other options we looked at, but I did not feel like we got a lower quality product in any way. We would truly recommend Jackson to anyone looking to have photos taken!

    Highly recommend!

    Jackson went above and beyond for our wedding. He was extremely flexible with the changing of events for the day and worked with us with different ideas we had, some being last minute. He was professional, courteous, timely and made everyone feel comfortable when taking photos.

    Simply stunning photos!

    Ray was our photographer at our wedding in West Michigan on November 5th 2023. From the moment my wife came across ray's website she knew he was the photographer for us! His moody style combined with his eye for detail was what led her to call Ray in the first place and wow oh wow did it pay off because our photos were absolutely stunning! He took all of our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly- and even improvising for better lighting, poses, and shots. We have received nothing but wonderful compliments on our wedding photos from our family and friends and I know it was all due to Ray's dedication (he froze his butt off alongside the whole wedding party just to get the best shot of us at the pier on Lake Michigan!) and willingness to stay until he got the shot just right. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him and our wedding photos. We will truly cherish them and our memories from our happiest day ever. Thanks so much again Ray! Jason and Tara Hughey

    Wonderful 40th Anniversary Ceremony!

    I have been following Ryan and his photographic career for many years and have had the privilege of getting to know him and his wonderful family. When my husband and I decided to do a blow-out celebration for our 40th wedding anniversary, we could not think of many we would rather have to capture the precious moments of that memorable evening. We were thrilled with the results and will cherish these images forever. He was very professional on site and quickly delivered a wonderful edited gallery for us to use. Both my husband and I highly recommend Ryan to photograph your event and put together package that will allow you to relive your momentous event always.

    Wonderful Engagement and Wedding Experience!

    We worked with Jackson for our engagement and wedding photos. It was such an enjoyable experience having him as part of our wedding journey. For our engagement shoot Jackson went above and beyond to help us feel natural in front of the camera and get a variety of beautiful photos. By the day of our wedding we felt confident in front of the camera and Jackson got so many amazing, creative shots! We can’t wait to share our wedding photos with our friends and family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Jackson to capture these incredible life moments.

    Highly recommend, very professional, & easy to work with

    Jackson has done amazing work for my business over the years, including drone and action photography. He’s very professional, focused, fun, and easy to work with. My employees have a lot of fun when it’s photo shoot day! He listens to your ideas and goals and discusses creative options to execute them. His attention to detail is incredible and the finished product always came in ahead of schedule. In the end, he will not only meet but exceed your expectations.

    When it came time to planning our wedding, Jackson was our obvious choice. Needless to say, he captured truly amazing photos! He captured everything we could have wanted and more for our wedding day. We received numerous compliments about Jackson from our family and friends that day and again after sharing the finished product. I would highly recommend Ray Nard Imagemaker for all your professional photography needs!

    Amazing engagement and wedding photos!

    We’ve been so fortunate to have Ray Nard Imagemaker photograph the big milestones in our life and he exceeds our expectations every time! He has a way of capturing candid moments and getting our personalities to show during the photo shoot. Posing can feel awkward (we never know what to do with our hands) but he’s amazing at getting us into poses that look great in photos. He was also able to get great shots during the reception including details I didn’t even notice until we received the photos. We can’t wait to have him photograph many more moments.
