About this vendor
Hi, I’m Raymond—a wedding photographer based in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. I made the move east from Southern California in 2025 with my wife, our three dogs, one very charismatic pig, and two birds. (Yes, our house is never boring—and neither are the weddings I capture!). I’ve been capturing weddings for over 10 years, and every celebration still feels just as special as the first.
My style is all about airy, bright, and timeless imagery—photos that feel light, joyful, and full of emotion. But I don’t just take pretty pictures. I believe every wedding has a unique rhythm, a mood, a story—and my job is to document that in a way that’s honest and artful. I don’t just create photos; I put together a narrative of your day, from the quiet, intimate moments to the big, joyful ones.
Couples know me for making them feel at ease—like they can truly be themselves in front of the camera. I take the time to get to know you, your story, and what makes your love one-of-a-kind. Whether you're getting married under the Spanish moss in one of Savannah's dreamy squares or dancing barefoot at a coastal celebration, I’m there to capture it all with care, creativity, and heart.
No stiff poses. No pressure. Just your story, told beautifully.

In October of 2025, we hired Raymond to photograph our 120-person wedding in Camarillo, California. We actually used Raymond for our wedding engagement pictures as well. We could n...
ot have asked for a better experience working with him. Throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding day, Raymond communicated with us non-stop and was extremely professional at every stage. We never left our meetings with questions left unanswered. He is a one-man team and was able to handle every detail we wanted to capture on our special day.
We chose a few locations of where we wanted our engagement photos taken and Raymond gave us his pros and cons of each. Trusting his knowledge we chose a remote location in Ojai, California. Woodsy, whimsical, nature were the setting/vibes we were shooting for. Wow! The pictures came out better than we could have ever imagined! Impressed as ever with our engagement pictures, we knew Raymond was our guy for the wedding day.
Raymond gave us good advice for posing directions that felt natural. He was able to capture genuine emotions of all of our wedding guests. He was such an ease to work with, we highly recommend him to anyone needing photography work.
The final images exceeded our expectations and then some. We are obsessed with the final results and the quality of the images are top notch. They took about 3-4 weeks to get back to us after our wedding day. We cant thank Raymond enough for taking those photos that we will cherish forever.
Please reach out if you have any questions about Raymond and his services. We cant thank him enough!

t at guiding us into the right poses, best angles, perfect lighting, and even cracked jokes to get us to laugh when needed. He worked so hard the day of our wedding, constantly looking for great shots to take. He thought of everything - getting pictures not just of us, but our family and friends, our decor, our rings, the flowers and cake…. It was wonderful to go through all the photos and relive all the wonderful memories from our wedding day. He truly captured the happiness of that day. We can't recommend Raymond enough and we look forward to working with him again!

This review is long overdue, but I would love to share how amazing Raymond was to work with. To start with Raymond was so kind and understanding throughout the wedding planning pro...
cess. He was open to working with my husband and I on a lot of details for our event. He worked amazing with our family and was also super helpful in managing and sticking to the timeline per our request. He really made it a point to make sure that my husband and I got everything we were looking for as far as photos go. The photos themselves were absolutely amazing. I tear up every time I look at them because they really do capture the entire feel of what our wedding was. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding I really recommend using Raymond. You will get someone who is not only personable but also someone who can help you capture all of the special intimate moments of a wedding.

sive, super friendly and arrived just on time to our engagement shoot! This was our first time taking photos, but Raymond was so patient with us (and our dog!) and directed us with all poses. We received our photos back exactly 2 weeks after and I was blown away by the editing/mood of the photos. Truly exactly what I wanted/imagined. I’d definitely recommend Raymond for anyone looking for a great, easy-going photographer. Can’t wait for the wedding. Thank you so much Raymond!

t he could get to know us and we could learn his style. Raymond was so good about accommodating our needs and requests. He is a true professional, but at the same time very easy going and warm. I am not normally a big fan of how I look in photos. Raymond did such a wonderful job of making me look amazing in my pictures. Our wedding photos are something that I will always treasure. They are beautiful and really reflect the fun that we had at our wedding. And the communication during all of his process was great. Raymond is a true natural with a gift. I am so glad that he was a part of our big day and I would definitely recommend him for all of your photo needs!
I, literally, feel like we found the best photographer for the occasion. Raymond was prompt, professional, but, most importantly, chill. He's such a cool guy, and really adds to ...
the structure of your occasion, while simultaneously capturing the entire event with a camera. The aesthetic of his look highlighted the occasion, and made us look WAY better than I'm sure we actually did at the time. Oh, and the shots of the dog were outstanding. We appreciate you, Raymond. Thanks for being, literally, the best.
Much love,
TJ and Grady
Raymond was the first vendor we booked and we couldn't have found a better photographer to photograph our wedding! Off the bat, we could tell he was passionate about his work which...
made us so much more excited to work with him. Our photos are beautiful and we are so happy we can look back and enjoy that day over again through our photos. Raymond was incredibly professional throughout the entire process of planning, a joy to work with, and made himself easy to reach if we had any questions or requests regarding our photos up to the day of our wedding. He worked with us months in advance to get a feel for the theme we were going for, as well as us as a couple so he could take the best photos of our special day. He went over every detail with us a week before the wedding to make sure he would capture the most important things to us and on the day of our wedding, he was on time with all of his equipment, shooting photos of our venue well before the ceremony began. He gave us an amazing deal for excellent service and we couldn't be happier with our photos! If you are looking for a professional photographer that is friendly, fun, and great to work with, I highly reccomend working with Raymond! You will not be dissapointed!

This was our first photo...
shoot at all and we havent had any idea what to do: he gave us good directions on how to pose and what to do. It felt weired at the beginning but we conntected and got used to this situation very quickly so that we basically forgot that we have been photographed.
We got our photos faster than expected, which is amazing when you are so curious how everything turned out! All of our pictures are on point and captured perfectly our engagement and love.
If we were not living back in Switzerland, he definitely would do our wedding photography as well. So, girls and guys whenever you look for a (wedding) photographer Ray is definitely the first person I would ask! Such a talent! Thank you so much!

shoot. He’s very patient and has a good eye for unique poses. He worked quickly to get our photos back to us. He was very professional and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone wanting professional quality pictures. My wedding pictures were adorable, I love every single one of the hundreds that we received. Thank you Ray for the beautiful memories that’ll last us a lifetime. I love all the candid shots that I requested!
If you are looking for an absolutely incredible photographer, Raymond is without a doubt your guy. We planned to do our engagement shoot while on vacation in Palm Springs, so we d...
idn’t have a lot of details on what to expect. He was so go with the flow and accommodating. We even changed locations the day before the shoot and he was quick to respond and say not a problem. I was pretty nervous about it all and he was put all of those feelings at ease.
The turn around time on getting our photos back was far faster than expected, which is amazing when you’re an anxious bride to be! All of our pictures are so beautiful I have no idea how we will pick just one for our save the date. What a problem to have! Now I’m just wishing we didn’t live 1,000 miles away so he could do our wedding! I am beyond certain that having him do photos on our wedding day would make me breathe a sigh of relief because they would all be out of this world perfect.
Raymond did an excellent job ❤️
Completely satisfied and so happy 😊
