We are a husband-wife team based near Madison, Wisconsin. Our approach to photography is rooted in their belief that each couple and their love story is truly one-of-a-kind.

We strive to create images that not only capture the beauty and joy of your wedding day, but also reflect the love, personality, and style of the the two of you.With a passion for capturing the un-staged moments and the timeless feel of each wedding day, throughout the last 15 years we have established ourselves as the go-to candid/documentary wedding photographers in the Madison Wisconsin area.


We're on a treasure hunt for beauty! We want our images to take you right back to all the incredible, grand moments of your day as well as the the milliseconds that flew by where you couldn't necessarily stop to breathe, look around, and appreciate the beauty. Your story is what matters to us and our goal is to capture it as it unfolds in an honest, artistic, and storytelling way.

Our couples know that they can trust us to document the people and moments that are most important to them while allowing themselves the freedom to be fully present.

Most of our work takes place in the areas around Madison but we photograph weddings all over the great state of Wisconsin and throughout the midwest. We would love to connect with you, wherever your wedding might take place!

"Ray and Kelly were perfect. I will expound on that just in case you are still undecided on whether or not to ask them to photograph your wedding! They exceeded my expectations in every way; a few of my family members questioned my judgment on setting my budget for photography but I can say in all honestly they are worth every penny and more and those who questioned 100% agreed with me after meeting Ray and Kelly and seeing our pictures.

The work that they did and the photos that we have are priceless. Looking back at our wedding day my husband and I can’t imagine it without Ray and Kelly there! They were able to blend in and it felt like we had known them for years! They worked together as a perfect team and it was awesome having two different angles. Ray and Kelly were among one of the highlights of our wedding and one of the best decisions we could have made in our planning!"

"words cannot describe how thankful we are that ray and kelly photographed our wedding. first of all they are wonderful people who are incredibly easy to work with. we were planning from afar but they used phone calls and easy (and fun) surveys to make sure they knew us and understood what we wanted them to capture prior to the day of. while we have some posed photos of family and friends the true beauty of ray and kelly is their ability to capture the emotion and little interactions that may be forgotten if not preserved in a photo. we did not have a videographer and instead chose to have them do a motion picture (check out their website for examples). it is such a work of art! we would choose them 100 times over again.

We got married in wisconsin and currently live in oregon so they took the time to skype with us and get to know us and make sure it was a good fit. they communicated so well up until the wedding day and arrived on time looking awesome! during the actual wedding day they were amazing at placing themselves naturally into the occasion, sometimes you didn't even notice they were there. they are truly really lovely people and we loved getting to know them, they made our day that much better! from what we have seen so far, we love our photos, they have a true eye for capturing all the emotions of such an important day. they are very skilled at candid photos and notice the little details, which i appreciate. i can't recommend them enough and will be honored to have them as photographers for any events we have in the future. they were the perfect choice. thanks ray and kelly!
