About this vendor
Hello, I am Ray Hennessy, and have been photographing weddings since 2009 and worked for other photographers on weddings prior to that since 1999. My goal with my wedding and portrait photography is to give you a fun, relaxed experience that you and everyone around enjoys. If you are having fun that will show in your photos and that is what I am looking for.

KGM did everything we wanted and it came out beautifully! We asked that the photographer just documented our day and for him not to be intrusive and it was done perfectly. The pho...
tos are gorgeous, fast responses, easy payments,and our photos came back so fast.
I can't say enough about working with Ray and KGM Expressions. He made my husband and I feel so at ease throughout our entire wedding day. Ray took our engagement photos and they c...
ame out awesome, so we knew we made the right choice for our wedding. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning and Ray captured every moment of the day perfectly. His attention to detail is amazing and he uses the surroundings and lighting to its fullest. We highly recommend hiring Ray to photograph your wedding or any other special occasion. You won't be disappointed!
Ray was fantastic! He was fun to work with and took the stress out of all the picture-taking. The proofs came in LESS than 2 weeks and all look absolutely amazing! We've gotten so ...
many compliments from people about how stunning the photos are. I'm glad we trusted Ray and the process-we are over the top thrilled with everything. Thank you!!
I cannot say enough good things about Ray and Kim! My husband and I were so comfortable with Ray during our first meeting with him and were so impressed with his work on prior wedd...
ings that we knew that he would be the perfect choice for our August 2018 wedding at the Moorestown Community House. In fact, he was able to show us 2-3 albums of weddings that he had shot previously at our wedding venue location so that we could get a feel of what our photos could be like. We chose a package that included our engagement pictures and he did a fantastic job with them. He was super attentive to the weather conditions (our original date had the possibility of getting rained out, so Ray texted me early on in the day to help make a decision of what we should do and we decided not to chance it and change the date--he was super flexible). During our engagement shoot, we had a few specific requests which he honored without hesitation. The photos were returned to us in less than 2 weeks, and we were so thrilled with how they turned out.
When it came to our wedding, he helped set up a timeline 4-6 weeks in advance. He had us fill out a very specific and detailed questionnaire that helped him and Kim create our wedding day timeline. Ray and Kim arrived on time, and began shooting all aspects of our day. They were respectful and got along with everyone in the wedding party, plus our other vendors (hair/makeup, catering staff, Maitre D, etc.) and just were so easy to work with. Ray was constantly on the ground getting shots, on the table getting the perfect shots and his dedication to capturing our special day did not go unnoticed. What I enjoyed best about Ray and Kim was their ability to blend in with our guests and to not be intrusive. So many times at weddings, the photographers get in the way of some of the guests who are watching the ceremony...not Ray and Kim. They were there, but you couldn’t even tell that they were getting the most amazing shots possible. We truly enjoyed our day with them! We had our gallery of proofs in less than 3 weeks, and even though our wedding was 1 month ago, I look at the album of pictures every day. I do not consider myself to be a photogenic person, but with Ray and Kim, they captured shots that made me photogenic. The pictures are stunning and we could not be happier. We cannot wait to meet with Ray and Kim in the next few weeks to choose the pictures for our wedding album. We highly recommend KGM for any of your photography needs
We can’t stop bragging about how awesome Ray was. We had our family reunion the night after our wedding and they all said how fun and professional Ray was. We can’t wait to see tho...
se pictures on the dance floor. He photographed my best friend’s wedding two years ago and I had no doubt in my mind that he would be perfect to photograph our wedding day. A million times, thank you so much Ray!!!
Ray was amazing!!!!!! He got everywhere. He got the best light. I️ know our pictures are going to be freaking amazing!!!!!!!!! Thank you, ray!!!! Let’s do this every weekend!!!!!
Ray was a perfect complement to our wedding. He captured the day beautifully and made our day stress free. Leading up to the day, Ray was awesome meeting us for our engagement s...
hoot and keeping in touch to solidify plans for the day. On the day of, Ray was low-key and stress-free which made us able to just relax and enjoy the day. He was able to plan accordingly to get all the shots in that we needed by doing the first look and we still had time to enjoy our cocktail hour. He is able to capture the natural look and enjoyment on people's faces without it seeming too posed. We are so thankful for all of the beautiful pictures we have to remember the day for years to come. We highly recommend Ray to any future couple.
My advice to anyone who wants their day captured with emotion and elegance KGM Expressions is who you need to book! Ray and Kim were invisible, yet they managed to capture every li...
ttle detail and every sweet moment of our daughter's wedding. The candid photographs are priceless. They managed to capture the happiness and emotion of the day in every single picture. They were never directing, yet they managed to not miss anything. The elegance of the pictures along with the natural light of the day and night made for pictures worthy of a museum. We couldn't be happier and have managed to relive every moment of the day with their expert shots at every single moment whether it was a wink, a smile, a tear or a laugh. Their work is unparalleled.
Ray is an amazing photographer and I can't imagine there is another person or company out there that could have done better. His ability to make us feel comfortable during all the ...
craziness made it feel more like a friend was taking our pictures than someone we had only met once or twice. Ray kept everything moving smoothly and on time before the ceremony but once the dancing started his skills really showed. He somehow managed to be right in the middle of everything without ever being intrusive. I think we even saw him dancing a few times! And, of course, the pictures were spectacular. He really captured the energy and excitement of the day. We literally could not recommend him more. Amazing.
Ray and Kim were awesome to work with from start to finish. Very relaxed and professional at the same time. Our pictures were fabulous for the engagement session and I cant wait to...
see wedding photos! We just got married on 6/4/16 and if I had to do it over, I would chose Ray and Kim again without a doubt!
KGM Expressions is THE BEST.
Ray and his wife Kim are extremely talented photographers. On top of that, they're great people too. My husband and I had a blast shooting with the...
m all day. They paid close attention to the detail shots, managed all of our requests, and mixed in their own creativity.
When the flowers arrived, Ray even helped to pin the boutonnieres on the guys, and hand out the bouquets to the girls. He even helped my now sister in law, who is in a wheel chair, get around on the grass.
The photos turned out GORGEOUS. We are receiving so many compliments. I HIGHLY recommend KGM for your wedding. They provide an exceptional service.
(Documentary Style) Having Ray as our photographer was without a doubt one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Not only were the quality of his pictures incredible (ES...
PECIALLY for the price), but he was just so much fun to be around! I had a blast hanging out with him all day and couldn't imagine a more professional, efficient, and all around amazing photographer! I literally cannot say enough! Would recommend to anyone and will be using him for any/all my photography needs in the future!
We highly recommend Ray from KGM Expressions. We chose the documentary package for six hours, and we were thrilled with the photos we just got. Everyone looks happy and radiant in ...
every picture. Most importantly, Ray was great to work with. He didn’t require a lot of guidance leading up to the wedding, but he provided helpful feedback on our suggested schedule and answered all our questions. On the wedding day, he arrived early and scoped out a spot for our first look. We were unsure about the best place, and he absolutely put us at ease. Throughout the whole day he was so professional and efficient. We really appreciated that he didn’t keep our bridal party out in the heat too long during the pre-ceremony pictures and he helped us get through our family pictures quickly so we could enjoy most of our cocktail hour. He was a friendly and relaxing presence the entire time. Most importantly, we are thrilled with the photos and the price was extremely reasonable for what we were looking for.
Kim & Ray are so amazing to work with. Their photos are just stunning. We are so happy with their work. I would hire then again and again. We hope to get to work with them again in...
the future. They are not only wonderful photographers they are really great people.
Kim and Ray are awesome!!! They are so laid back and a pleasure to work with. They did a beautiful job with both my engagement and wedding photos. The wedding pictures truly ca...
pture the beauty of the day... They created memories that my husband and I will treasure for a lifetime!
I can not recommend KGM highly enough. Not only is it great to have a husband and wife team to capture more shots (including both the bride and groom getting ready), but they were ...
so flexible and easy to work with. They arrived half an hour early, and stayed an extra 45 minutes when the limo service we hired failed to bring the bridal party from the church to the reception, to make sure we didn't miss out on pictures with them. They also were far and away the best quality photographers for value we found in the mid-Atlantic area, and the photos really speak for themselves (a perfect combination of candids, artsy, and more traditional posed pictures with the bridal party). I would recommend them to anyone and everyone for a wedding or other special event :)
Kim and Ray from KGM Expressions were the perfect choice for our wedding. From the engagement photo session to the wedding day and beyond, they have been so easy to work with. They...

ssional, yet fun at the same time. Our guests cannot stop raving about our photos!
Great couple and great photographers!!!!!
First of all, Kim and Ray are true professionals: prompt, flexible, and super friendly.
They are also extremely talented photographers who use light and composition rather than...
heavy post-processing to create beautiful photos. We get compliments on our wedding photos from every person who views them, not only because they are breathtaking but also because Kim and Ray somehow managed to capture the tone and emotion of each part of the day. When I look at my photos I feel like I am truly re-living my wedding day :)
I would (and will) recommend KGM Expressions to any SJ brides-to-be!
Kim and Ray from KGM Expressions are awesome. They really make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. They were there for every part of the day and were so much fun to have a...
round. Our engagement photos were amazing and I can't wait to see our wedding photos as well! They are consummate professionals- it was really hot on our wedding day, and they made taking photos outside in 97degrees bearable. Highly recommended!
Kim and Ray are a joy to work with. They are super laid back (like me) but know how to get the job done. They were completely unobtrusive during our wedding, but we have amazing ...
photographs of the day. I would reccommend them to everyone!
Ray and Kim are awesome to work with. Their work is excellent and speaks for itself. They documented the night perfectly and really captured the beauty and emotion of the day.
Ray and Kim were amazing!! My husband and I both feel they were the BEST choice we made of all vendor we had to select. They were the most professional but yet personal...making ...
us feel at ease all throughout our day. Would higly recommend them to anyone for anything!
Kim and her husband Ray were the perfect photographers for our big day! They were a ton of fun to work with, from the initial interview, to engagement photos, the big day, and afte...
r! Their prices are amazing, they don't make you pick and choose overpriced packages of stuff you don't want. It's one very affordable fee and you get them both for the whole day, as well as a free engagement sitting! The prices for books, albums, prints were reasonable and after (the best part!) I ordered my beautiful wedding book, I got all of my pictures on a disk from Kim! Not only do they do beautiful work and work seamlessly together, but they are a ton of fun! Ray went to take pictures of my fiance and his groomsmen while Kim stayed with me and my bridesmaids before the ceremony. All of the guys had a great time working with Ray and my family is still talking about how great Kim was, especially when she did a few prewedding glamour shots of our family cat!
You can't go wrong with these two, they are professional, skilled, artistic, and they actually listen to what you want done! Thanks Kim & Ray!
ray and kim could not have been more cooperative, professional, and friendly. They are not only reasonably priced, but the quality of their work is stellar!
Kim and Ray did an incredible job from the moment we met them. Our engagement pictures were great, the price is right, and you get a lot for your money. Our wedding pictures were...
fantastic!!! So many people complimented Kim and Ray on their ability to not only capture the moment/day, but their personalities with working with large groups and fitting in/having a good time. They really enjoy what they do and are great at it! We couldn't have been happier. I recommended them to all of my friends and some have booked them already. Their work just keeps getting better!
