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. | 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 event. We met originally at a coffee shop, booked, and then about a week before the wedding, filled out a detailed questionnaire and talked on the phone going over the details of the big day. He was true to his timeline and makes a lovely slideshow that he posts on the internet about 6 weeks after our wedding. We have receive tons of complements!!! One of my friends describes our pictures as watching a very elegant movie! | think that's a great description! He does a great job capturing action and emotions. If you are looking for someone who will tell you where to put your hands and to smile at the camera, Ray Anthony isn't your guy. But if you are looking for someone who will capture the joy and moments of your day, | highly recommend Ray!!

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 absolutely beautiful and more importantly, unique! The kind of photos you see in a magazine. He says it's an honor to have shot our wedding however, to us, it was an honor having such a talented photographer shooting our special day. We cannot thank him enough and as a bride, trust me when | say, you want him as your photographer!

When | first spoke to Ray Anthony, | knew that he was the photographer | wanted to capture my wedding memories. Ben and | 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. | 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. | said absolutely, and Ray Anthony captured that smile | gave my dad- something | will never forget. And to be honest | had no idea where he was physically when he captured that moment 🙂 He just doesn't give you wedding images, he gives you back the story of the best day of your life. His photos tell a story, and | give him my highest recommendation.

Ray captured the spirit and energy of our families, our celebration, and our love. | will treasure these photos forever.

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. | could go on forever about how much | love our photos! Ray and his staff are all professional and courteous at every stage, from planning all the way to the tedious process of completing the order. | suppose his serviced are considered a little pricey by most standards but every penny was worth it and even if | had been a tighter budget | would have sacrificed elsewhere to still have Ray Anthony capture our wedding.

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 | felt until | got my proofs back from Ray. Suddenly | was not only able to piece together this incredible day, but | 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 don't even remember happening. What is even more amazing is that he does it in a completely unobtrusive way. My favorite thing about working with him on the day of the event is that | did not even notice him; | was able to experience the day without feeling like | was constantly posing for a photographer. He wants his brides to live in the moment and although it will not feel like he is watching, he is so you can relive it when the dust settles.

RACHAEL

Married on 10/08/2011

One of the things my husband and | 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 | 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 comments about how amazing our wedding photos turned out. Ray’s style of taking a photojournalistic approach to weddings produced a stunning collection of wedding photos my husband and | will cherish for the rest of our lives. They say “a picture is worth a thousand words” ..well not if they are taken by Ray — his will simply leave you speechless.

Ray Anthony, you, made our wedding perfect. Even now, thinking back about our wedding, | 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 every photo was a stand out. His creative flair and his eye for the little details was incredible. He was such a huge part of our day, but he was almost invisible as he worked. He worked quickly and silently capturing more photos and creating more memories than we could have asked for! His quiet style meant he blended into the background and our guests were captured being themselves rather than 'posing’ for photos. He put everyone at ease immediately and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We experienced our Wedding Day as the Bride and Groom, but to then see our day through his camera lens, was and still is breath taking. Simply put, Ray Anthony made our wedding day ‘picture perfect'! We whole heartedly recommend Ray Anthony Photography to everyone, and look forward to one day renewing our vows, with Ray Anthony next to us, capturing our treasured memories again. Thank you Ray, you truly made our wedding day, perfect.

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 | 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 has an amazing calming way about him that you cannot help but be effected by. His years of experience shine through as he helps his brides (and grooms | am sure) remain calm and composed while helping them achieve the wedding pictures of their dreams. While | know Ray was very much there for all the important memories from my big day (as evidenced by his amazing pictures of every moment) he was very much able to blend in and go with the flow so his presence never seemed disruptive or unnatural. | cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the pictures from our wedding day - not one person who looks through our album fails to comment on the amazing shots he took. | love and cherish each and everyone of them - and can easily feel and relive the emotion of the day simply by looking at them. 1 absolutely would recommend Ray (and have to several friends - one of whom hired him) without a shred of doubt! Thank you Ray for being so phenomenal - | only wish Damien and | could have you around for all our magical moments!

DANA

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! Al in all we are extremely happy with Ray and truly appreciate his fantastic work. Thank you, Robert and Dana

My wife and | 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 | am reliving the wedding”. My wife and | would like to thank Ray Anthony and his staff for a wonderful wedding day experience and for the timeless pictures we will someday show our children. Lisa & John October 1, 2010

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 good value as we received all the pictures (in RAW format) on a hard drive, which gives us an opportunity to play with the files ourselves in the future as technology advances. Many photographers out there refuse to do that. We highly recommend Ray.

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!

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!

1 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 | decided he was exactly what | wanted in a photographer. | was a bit concerned about our venue and its lack of nice looking backgrounds for photos, and | 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. It was like he could predict where he needed to be and when during our whole ceremony and reception! Ray is one of those who works his tail off and puts out great results. | ke how much passion he has for the industry as well. He even asked * =~~~ *= = ="~ - since he didn't want to sit down during the reception in fear that he might miss ~English Y —) satisfied with Ray Anthony and would recommend him to all of our friends!

Ray Anthony and his photography assistants go beyond traditional photography. They capture the essence of ° ‘ the wedding. His style is more candid-camera than posed, which is exactly what | wanted. He captures the smiles, laughter, and tears of a wedding. He captures all of the tiny details that you worked so hard to pick 1 and create such a wonderful atmosphere for your wedding and that you want to remember forever. He is i extremely professional and friendly. He really knows his stuff and it feels as if he simply fades into the background while he captures everything that is going on. He will also do some posed shots if that is what you want. We wanted the standard family, friends, brical party posed shots and i NV — efficiently. You will have to book him at least a year ahead of time though becat g . i ecognizing Text 3 works out of Las Vagas and LA, not just Detroit, so he's a popular man-BUT IS WELL WORTH IT.

Ray Anthony's work transcends predictable wedding photography and becomes fine art; with each photo able to stand alone. Together the photos reflect Ray's background in film/cinema....re-telling the whole story that we missed because of the excitement! We were thrilled to have him photograph our wedding and selected him after reviewing hundreds of portfolios. As artists, the photographs were our top concern. He and his team were nearly invisible, but managed to capture each and every glance, our guest's laughs, as well beautiful overall shots of the surroundings. Very professional, organized and flexible... with an excellent team. Highly highly recommended.
