Weddings By Ray

Not only is Ray an incredibly skilled photographer, but he's also a joy to work with. Our engagement shoot was a breeze thanks to Ray's flexibility and willingness to travel to Hoboken, NJ. Throughout the shoot, Ray made my fiancé and I feel completely at ease, allowing us to just be ourselves without any awkward posing. We specifically wanted non-traditional engagement photos, and Ray nailed it. His creative eye and unique aesthetic set him apart from others in the wedding/engagement photography industry. If you're looking for a fun and seamless photo shoot with beautiful results, Ray is your guy. Plus, he's just an all-around awesome person to know and work with.

Ray was absolutely incredible! He not only helped my fiancé and I feel completely at ease but also guided us in posing naturally. As our first ever photoshoot, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and we definitely plan on hiring Ray again. We appreciate how approachable and friendly Ray was during our engagement pictures and the amazing job he did. Our friends and family were simply amazed! Thank you, Ray!

Ray responded promptly and his photographs were superb! I strongly endorse his services.

Rewritten: Mr. Ray Alvarez deserves all the praise in the world! He arrived ahead of time and stayed till the end, capturing moments I missed on my big day, making it possible for me to cherish this special day again ❤️❤️. Despite being behind schedule with my preparations and my wedding planner being on my case, Ray put me at ease, saying it's normal and not to worry, just be happy and beautiful, and he'll manage the shots. He's a genuinely down-to-earth person, making him super easy to work with. Ray's professionalism, dedication, and sociable personality made him a standout. I never saw him stop working, and his end-to-end communication with me made the process effortless. My photos are just breathtaking; I absolutely love them! His competitive and reasonable pricing, coupled with his excellent portfolio, made him the perfect choice for us. Ray is perfect for any event and is sure to deliver beyond expectations. Do not hesitate to get him onboard; I cannot thank you enough, Mr. Ray Alvarez; it was an absolute pleasure!

It's difficult to articulate the impact that Ray had on us. We experienced countless positive emotions just from working with him. To provide some context, my husband and I are not your usual bride and groom or newly engaged couple -- we are already married with no kids. Every year, we commemorate another year of our marriage with a special photo session. Despite my profession as a photographer and my husband's involvement as my second shooter, we typically don't feel at ease being photographed. Before, my husband's anxiety was evident in the resulting images. However, this year was entirely different. We felt utterly comfortable throughout the process and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Ray transformed the photo shoot into an engaging narrative. Although some pictures were posed, a majority focused on capturing us naturally. We ventured to the park with our daughters, strolled around Wegmans doing our usual activities, and relaxed in our home, just being us. We appreciate that Ray took time to ask us questions, encourage us to do quirky things, and make the entire experience genuinely personable. He demonstrated significant patience when guiding us to select the perfect location and framed multiple moments perfectly. Ray's creativity, motivational speaking, and professionalism were exceptional, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Furthermore, we received the photos the next day, just a day after the shoot. We cannot speak highly enough of Ray; he is absolutely incredible, and we look forward to working with him again in the future as long as we are in NY. He is passionate about his work, and it shows. He is worth every penny!
