We just got all our wedding pictures back and we are so incredibly thankful and so happy with the pictures. We absolutely LOVE them! Ralph captured EVERYTHING we wanted and EVERYONE!! Makes my heart smile. We couldn’t thank Ralph enough for capturing every part of our special day!

Ralph wasn’t suppose to my our photographer. We prematurely hired (and paid a deposit) another photographer….then we came across Ralph’s instagram account. His beautiful photography style caught our attention immediately. After stalking his social media accounts and website one night, we but the bullet and reached out to him. 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.

Ralph was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. His ability to capture the love and magic of a moment is truly a gift. His talent and professionalism mixed with his lighthearted character is the perfect pair for a photographer that will make you feel at ease and will inspire you to model for some amazing photos. You can not go wrong having him as part of your day and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I was SUPER picky in choosing a photographer, and from the moment I chatted with Ralph over the phone (after obsessing over his portfolio) I knew he was the photographer for us! His personality makes it easy to laugh in front of the camera which makes our photos look so natural and perfect. Not only are his photos amazing, but he truly makes the best day even more fun. We've only seen the preview so far and the photos were fabulous, so we can't wait to see our whole album to see the way he captured our entire day! We feel so lucky to have found such a great photographer. Thanks, Ralph!

If we could leave more stars we would! Highly recommend Ralph and his team for all your photography needs. He did our engagement, save the date, and wedding photos/videos. Not only is he amazing behind the lens but absolutely great with people. He listens and delivers. His creations are just out of this world! We love you Ralph!

Words cannot express how grateful I am towards Ralph. He is genuinely a GREAT person and it shows in his work. My husband is not too great at the whole “fake smiling for pictures” thing but we had zero issues with Ralph. He is literally making you laugh the whole time. He has such a big, kind, funny personality and he can’t help but rub off on you. On top of him being an amazing person he is CRAZY talented! We got so many nice creative shots with him and he has many tricks up his sleeve. I am so happy I signed with him and will for sure hire him again in the future. He is also great at responding to emails/calls in a timely manner. & just as a plus he also speaks/understand Portuguese which was so helpful with my family. THANK YOU SO MUCH RALPH!! You’re stuck with us forever now! ;P

I literally have no words. The day was so crazy and hectic, but you captured so many amazing moments. Me and kevin could not be more grateful for these memories in time that you captured. Its so great to have new friends in you and in. Tyler Raphael I cannot wait to see the rest of the magic you have captured. Ralph is not only so professional and helpful with timeline tips and suggestions. He will have you laughing and crying and all of the emotions you're supposed to capture on that special day! AND HE HAS THE MOST INFECTIOUS LAUGH!

Stop looking for any other photographer!! I cannot say enough about the greatness that Ralph delivers! Going through the pictures, he truly brought to life the entire event and I felt like I was there more than the video we got elsewhere. The coloring, the backdrops he creates. Everything. He is amazing. Far far exceeded our expectations on both engagement photos and wedding photos!

9/02/2020 • Haylie S

Ralph and Josh are the best! Super professional, funny, and talented. The photos of our wedding are so amazing I can’t even believe it’s me the photos. They pay close attention to detail to ensure your photos are the best they can be. Everyone was talking about how amazing they both were afterwards. Highly recommend!

Ralph is one of the most genuine, cheerful, and talented individuals I have ever met. He photographed our engagement shoot and I knew we had to have him for our wedding. He brings such a positive, spirited energy that has everyone in tears laughing. The love and joy is almost palpable in his photos. He also has ninja like abilities that help him to capture the perfect shot anywhere and everywhere. We absolutely loved working with him and would recommend him to everyone!

Ralph was beyond spectacular! If you’re looking for a passionate photographer to capture you’re big day like I was he’s the one. He made sure to capture even the smallest details 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.

an amazing photographer to work with! He knows exactly what angles, lighting, and shots to take the perfect shot! If you and your significant other are shy in front of the camera trust me when you work with Ralph, those nerves will go away and he will get that effortless shot!

I have been working with Ralph for a few years now. I knew that when it came time for my wedding that he would be our photographer. From the beginning, Ralph helped paint a picture of how our story would be portrayed and guided us in creating the perfect timeline. Be ready to have a blast shooting with Ralph! His creativity and upbeat personality truly make the photo session an unforgettable experience which clearly is portrayed in the pictures. He has vision and helps those that are more timid in front of the lens to be comfortable and relaxed. 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 make 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.

3/05/2019 • Sabrina A

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 excited. 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 fun, excited, and high energy that he makes all involved look and feel their best. He brought careful thought and great ideas to our wedding day and his work is top notch. Would highly recommend him!

1/14/2019 • Gena A

Ralph is amazing! Working with him during our wedding process was one of the most pleasant experiences throughout our journey. His talent and enthusiasm are unmatched. He was a constant 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.

11/19/2018 • Taylor P

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!

9/18/2018 • Neda G

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 moments! We highly recommend his services!

9/18/2018 • Yoni M

The little details made all the difference! Down to rocking a pineapple buttondown (our logo) His positive vibes and great energy really made a difference. Thank you for everything

We are so happy and so amazed with your work. We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer and a better human being to capture and to be a part of the best day of our lives. Your personality makes everything so much better and so much fun. You know exactly what you’re doing and I would a million times recommend your services. You are very humble and you care so much about the little moments and that is so important. You have a great passion and a great vision for your work and you are just AWESOME!!! We will keep you in our hearts and we hope to hire you again in the future😊😊 Our engagement photos and wedding photos are AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL and most importantly REAL! You can see the LOVE in every detail! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Mr. & Mrs. Dominguez

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 been 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 actual 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!

11/02/2017 • Cassandra A

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 help 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 chose to work with them. They are easy and fun to work with and will return a beautiful product!
