It was during our phone call that we knew that he was the right photographer for us. His contagious laugh and high energy made us feel comfortable in front of the cameras. Our pictures came out breathtaking and absolutely stunning. We are so happy we made the decision to choose Ralph to capture our special day.

We feel so lucky to have found such a great photographer. Thanks, Ralph!

on my day from getting ready to my guest enjoying the night on the dance floor!!! My husband does not like taking pictures, but Ralph guided us every step of the way that even he felt comfortable taking pictures. He was energetic and uplifting with his personality and Ora. He listened to everything I wanted for my special day and executed it so smooth and professionally. I would hand down recommend him.

I highly recommend Ralph and have full confidence in his work!
I am completely obsessed with Ralph's work. Not only are his pictures stunning (check out his website as the pictures speak for themselves), he was such a down to earth person. We ...
really saw that during our engagement shoot where he made us so comfortable taking pictures for the afternoon. I am so glad that I found him for our special day!
Ralph was sent to us 2 weeks before our wedding when our original photographer had an emergency situation and was unable to shoot our wedding. Ralph was able to jump right in and m...
ake sure we knew we were in good hands. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is SO kind and fun and wonderful to work with. He made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to do to get the best shots.
I can’t say enough good things about Ralph. His energy made my husband and I feel like we were actual models! Haha even our guests said that his energy was just amazing and so much...
fun! He truly took pride in his work, remaining professional, but still allowing us to feel free and have fun. He met with us on multiple occasions to go over the plans we had for our big day where he gave us amazing advice and feedback, beyond his photography skills. We saw a small preview of some of our portrait photos and I am already in AWE! Just beautiful! Thank you SO much Ralph!
Ralph's photos are top notch quality, but on top of that he makes a great addition to your wedding day. He brings a fun vibe to your wedding party and knows how to get everyone exc...
ited. The wedding photos are immaculate and the guests will also be happy with their part in the visual documentation of the day. Ralph knows what he's doing and is a wonderful presence on one of the biggest days of your life. I wish I could give him 1000/5 stars.
I don’t have enough good things to say about Ralph. We booked him for our New Year’s Eve wedding and after our engagement shoot we knew we had made the right choice. Ralph is so fu...

stant joy to be around. He exudes so much passion and enjoyment during his sessions you simply forget you’re even taking photos! He is definitely in a league of his own. We can’t wait to work with Ralph again! Thank you for capturing every moment of our love.
We hired Ralph based on his explosive personality we witnessed at a friends wedding - before we really even saw much of his work. We knew he was going to portray the fun and joy he...
had for his art through capturing our special day. Everyone raved about how fun, dedicated to the perfect shot, and personable he was. He knows how to make a crowd at ease and get truly happy shots! We are so happy we went with Ralph and can’t WAIT to see his work from our wedding.
Ralph came to us like an angel from heaven! We had a special case where we dismissed our photographer because he did not know how to work with intimacy as he is so used to work for...
magazines and models. My fiance (now husband) and I are messy, spontaneous and clumsy. The best thing about us is us and our wedding pictures needed to show that.
By the grace of God, Ralph closed the deal with us one month away from our wedding! (PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!) We were extremely blessed that his dates were available and he was so kind to us! Ralph worked all the pictures out with my husband and I. Because I already had prepared a powerpoint with the images, Ralph was so kind to make key points to make our dream wedding. Ralph is the best, I reccommend him to all my bride friends!
We loved working with Ralph! He paid attention to detail, was enthusiastic, and had a great attitude the entire night! We got married at the Ritz-Carlton and he captured beautiful ...

Hands down so happy I chose Ralph Raphael to be the photographer for our wedding. I have followed Ralph’s photography for years, and have always been in love with his work. I’ve be...
en lucky enough to have worked with him in the past as well! I wasn’t your typical “bridezilla.” I had my sister plan my entire wedding, the only thing I knew for certain I wanted at my wedding was for Ralph to be our wedding photographer. Ralph went above and beyond. He captured the most tender and sincere moments. He even got my husband (who is incredibly camera shy) to laugh and have a great time taking photos. When you book Ralph, you’re not just booking a wedding photographer, you are booking an experience. His laughter is contagious and he brings such wonderful happy energy. He is professional, arrives on time and his photo turn over is also very timely! His photography style is ethereal and romantic which is exactly what I wanted. I remember the word I kept using when I saw my photos was “dreamy.” Whether it’s your wedding, engagement or even a fashion photographer you’re looking for, Ralph is the total package! :)
Ralph was such a pleasure to work with. We found him last minute for our small wedding in Boca Raton. He was able to work with our budget and worked out a great timeline for the a...
ctual day. We highly recommend Ralph! He has such a great energy and he'll make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera lens!
I am SO happy that I hired Ralph! You won't be disappointed! Right from the get go Ralph was super friendly and professional. Ralph's great personality really puts you at ease to h...
elp bring out you and your partner's personality to the photos. Every time I look back at our photos, it feels like our wedding was yesterday and I can remember all the emotions and giggles that were flooding out that day. Him and his team are top notch! They were there when we needed a boost of confidence and to shake out the nerves, but also never intrusive of your special moments. You won't regret choosing Ralph and his team!
Pictures are the most important thing for a wedding day because the decorations will go away but the pictures and the memories will remain. I am satisfied wth Ralph and so glad I c...
