Literally could not have made a better decision! Rayan is the most genuine, kind, dedicated, artistic, and detailed oriented person we know! We hired Rayan for our wedding on 8-13-22 and she made our dream wedding come true! She was by my side every step of the way throughout the planning process. She helped me make my wedding day timeline, suggested vendors in the area that she thought we would like, she kept me calm when it indeed did rain on our wedding day.. She treated us like family and that was beyond priceless… I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for us. I highly recommend Rayan! You will be so grateful and at ease that you choose such a talented and wonderful person.
We could not have hired a better photographer for our wedding! Rayan has an artistic eye and she works hard to get the perfect shot. She sees the beauty in everyone and knows how to capture their best angles. Not only is she a very talented photographer, she’s a great person too. She has a calming personality to help ease you through your big day. She’s very kind, understanding, and relatable. We are so happy with our engagement and wedding photos but we were also happy to have shared our special day with someone as caring as her too.
What can I say? Rayan is amazing! There are so many options when it comes to photographers and I am so thankful we went with Rayan! From the first phone call, to our engagement shoot, pre wedding, wedding day and beyond-she has been nothing but amazing! Her style is stunning and she makes you feel so comfortable! She goes the extra mile to make sure she gets all of the shots you want (and more) and is such a calming presence through it all. I can’t recommend Rayan enough! I will be using her for all future photography needs and can’t wait to catch up with her next time we are in MI!
I fell in love with her photography style upon seeing her book at the Peninsula Room! She had a booking on my wedding date, but offered me alternatives, and even reached out to one of her colleagues to help me find somebody she assured me would be equally as great ;) while I didn’t get to snatch up my date with her, it says a lot that she would lend a helping hand to help me out with finding somebody with a similar style! Thanks Rayan!
We could not recommend Rayan enough. She went above and beyond with helping us. She knew all the perfect spots for pictures at The Homestead and hiked up Sleeping Bear Dunes for our first look photos. She helped us deal with some issues at The Homestead and was the easiest part of our wedding planning due to her experience. She made us feel comfortable and was very easy to work with when getting our pictures taken. The pictures came back with a great natural quality without being over edited. Whether you get married at The Homestead or anywhere else in Northern Michigan, she should be your go to photographer!
The pictures turned out stunning! I really couldn't figure out wich ones to print, cuz I wanna print all 900+ of them!
Thanks Rayan!
All of our vendors were amazing, but hands down, Rayan was our absolute favorite. Truly, words can't describe how incredible her work is. She is creative. She is kind. She is calm. She is humorous. My husband and I absolutely loved working with her. She suggested so many unique and exciting shots! At one point we were walking deep into the pine trees and normally I would have been freaking out about my shoes, but I trusted her so much that I knew she was going to give us the most stunning photos. I don't even have my wedding pics yet and I'm writing this review because I KNOW they will be flawless; just the 4 teaser pics she sent us blew us away. She is such a hard worker too; she stayed the ENTIRE day, and I mean, until the last song. She busted her butt, got down on the floor, stood on chairs...anything she needed to do to get the BEST shots. I could go on forever about how special she made our day, but her work speaks for itself. Hiring her to shoot our photos was the best decision I made for our wedding. She is the ABSOLUTE BEST and we love her :)
She is simply amazing. Wonderful to work with! She helped me with the wedding planning and timeline. She was so easy to talk to. The day of, she found a way to be present in every special moment without us even noticing! I CANT WAIT for the final pictures, but I am so in love with the few previews I've seen. I can't recommend her enough. <3 I couldn't have imagined having anyone else for us on our special day.
Rayan's photos turned out ABSOLUTELY AMAZING (I have some of my faves posted at @Bionic_Erin)! She was so great to work with leading up to the wedding and especially the day of. I absolutely LOVE her landscape photos, but we told her we wanted close ups too. Rayan listened to what we were looking for as a couple and I couldn't have asked for more. The photos were amazing...a perfect balance between landscapes, close ups, family photos, dancing, colors, and black/whites. She really captured every moment of our day. I'm the first to get married in my large family, and all of my family members will be booking her for their weddings, everyone was so impressed with the quality of the photos, her kind and fun personality, and her professionalism. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any and everyone! Thank you Rayan for sharing your amazing talent!
The best of the best!!!
My husband and I dreamt of having our engagement photos taken at the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Pierece Stocking Drive, and when we found Rayan's portfolio we knew we had to meet her.
Rayan is one of the most genuine people we have ever met. She is someone who honestly loves to capture moments of love. She gives back so much more than beautiful photos.
Rayan gave us an experience we will never forget during our engagement session and her presence on our wedding day was exactly the kind of support we needed. We could not imagine anyone else navigating the day so closely with us.
Rayan's work ethic and creativity is unrivaled, words honestly can't express how incredible her talent and personality are. We will always go to Rayan for life's precious moments. If you're thinking about meeting her for your wedding, do it. You won't be disappointed.
We love, love, love Rayan!! Our photos are more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Rayan captured the emotion, joy, and beauty of our day, and we were so happy to see all of the moments she captured when we got our photos. We simply couldn't ask for anything more. They are beyond our wildest expectations! On the day of our wedding, Rayan was extremely professional, responsive, and flexible. I felt like she really listened to us, and accommodated our families as well. Our photographs don't look posed, and Rayan really made us both feel at ease with the camera there. I can't recommend Rayan enough -- she is so talented and a kind person. We will miss working with you, Rayan!!
Rayan did an amazing job capturing our day. She was so easy to work with and very thorough. She and her assistants did everything possible to get the perfect shot. When I got my photos back I loved every single one.
I cannot imagine the day without Rayan-she is amazing, professional, calm, talented, willing to jump in the water for the perfect photo, creative and overall the best photographer I've ever met! She was fabulous in all regards. She made sure we got all photos we wanted and even more, due to her creativity! I would highly recommend her!
Rayan is THE BEST! We booked her services after seeing how talented she is through her photos of other weddings, but her demeanor and guidance throughout the day were a priceless bonus! Rayan kept the pace of the day moving, kept us calm and at ease, and captured some of the most stunning photos I've ever seen! I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her there for our wedding day, and would highly recommend her to anyone!
I am so happy I booked Rayan as my wedding photographer. She was so sweet and I couldn't have asked for a better person to capture the day. She was climbing onto tables, into bushes, or wherever she could to find the perfect angle/shot. She made it easy to not look posed after taking shot after shot. She kept in contact with me throughout the planning period and addressed any questions or concerns that I had. I highly recommend her and if I need a photographer for any future special occasions, she will definately be the person I contact. Love her!
What an incredible find! Rayan was an absolute superstar. Everyone I talk to about the wedding mentions our "ninja" photographer who seemed to capture everything. Rayan was super pleasant to work with throughout the planning process and wonderful the day of. She was one of my best selections of the wedding, A++!!!!!
We leave Texas and go up to Michigan every summer and so we thought it would be special to have our engagement photos done there. Without being able to meet face to face, we picked Rayan to shoot us! We are so thrilled that we found her and ended up being able to work with her.
From the first time we talked she was so sweet and incredibly helpful. Rayan went back and forth with me discussing ideas for locations, the perfect time to catch the sunset, etc. She really went above and beyond.
When it came time to take the photos, we went to Sleeping Bear and Peterson Road. She was so energetic and willing to do whatever it took to get the perfect shot. We climbed up the dunes, into the grass, wherever we had to go to get a great photo! She really made it fun for us and made us feel completely relaxed (even when being all lovey dove in front of a camera).
If you need a photographer, you'd be crazy not to give Rayan a call. She really is the best!
Rayan was absolutely wonderful to work with- professional, friendly, efficient, & beautiful photos. I would definitely recommend!
