for the authentic memories

wedding photography

wisconsin + midwest

We love to document events in an artistic, storytelling way. We see a wedding as a story about a couple and their families and we strive to capture that story with depth, joy, life, motion, and emotions.

Other than creating images that are honest, artistic, and filled with beauty, our biggest goal while using our cameras is to form real friendships. We always feel the best and most timeless images we have ever made are of people we can call friends!

When you look back at your wedding images and page through your album, we want to take you right back to all the seconds 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 you for who you really are.

about our style + approach

ABOUT OUR COUPLES

Couples who work with us feel valued, seen, and they feel like they can relax and have a stress-free wedding. Our couples know they can trust us to document the moments that matter. You are really excited about your wedding and want it to be unique and beautiful and full of really great food and people. But more importantly, you're so excited to just be married!

The thing we love most about being your wedding photographers is that we’re going to spend a lot of time together. We find so much joy in getting to know you and becoming friends through the process.

Because we take the time to get to know you, when we show up on your wedding day, we’re not just "the photographers” to our couples or their families — we’re Ray + Kelly! This trust allows us to get the best photos possible… ones that reflect who you truly are.
