Vanessa Ray Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Raleigh, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves North Carolina

My goal is to capture every part of your story. The parts you planned for so long, the parts that didn’t go exactly as planned, and the parts that will make you laugh and cry with joy when you look back years later. I want them all, because I would want nothing less for myself, and because this part of your life, even if it isn’t exactly what you thought it would be, might be the most beautiful piece of all.

From our first conversation, Vanessa Ray made us feel heard and asked thoughtful questions that showed she really cared about capturing our day. She was kind and professional throughout the entire process, and her pricing was incredibly reasonable for everything she delivered before, during, and after the wedding. What meant the most to us was how she helped our daughters feel involved and seen in the celebration, and how wonderful she was with our parents, especially our older dads. She has such a sharp eye for detail and caught adorable moments between us that we would have completely missed. The photos are stunning and truly exceeded what we expected for the cost. We can't recommend Vanessa Ray Photography enough.

After being around weddings for years, I've found my place in specializing in intimate weddings, where I aim to encapsulate the distinct essence of every couple's love story through my lens. From the quiet glances to the joyous tears, having had the privilege to witness and immortalize numerous heartfelt moments, I'm dedicated to ensuring that your wedding day is documented in a way that resonates profoundly with your unique journey together.

Dayna is so great! She has such an incredible eye for photos and has a really beautiful way of catching moments. She also has a personality/demeanor that is so easy to get along with, and I really vibed with her. We got our wedding photos back in 5 weeks, and they are all absolutely GORGEOUS. She listened to what we wanted and what we were nervous for (and repeated it back to us to make sure she understood). I am so happy we booked Dayna and I wholeheartedly recommend her to other couples planning their wedding!

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

Rebecca is absolutely incredible and we couldn’t recommend her enough! My wedding is March of 2025 but so far she has captured our engagement session and also my boudoir session for my grooms wedding gift! I have never experienced such an amazing, friendly, and talented photographer and we are so glad Rebecca gets to capture our big day in a few short months. Each session she makes you feel so comfortable and this makes the process feel so natural allowing the best results. Rebecca also captured my family members wedding and I was present for this occasion she genuinely is such a comforting and bright light to everyone she encounters. Rebecca always is so quick about sneak peaks of your gallery which I truly enjoy and her work is unmatched! Me and my fiancé will always continue to work with Rebecca for any photography needs in the future. We 1000/10 recommend Rebecca for any of your photography needs

Jimmy went above and beyond in his role as photographer. Not only were the photos absolutely perfect and returned in a timely manner, he did far more than take photos. He was attentive and made the experience fun. We clicked well with him and he understood our vibe. When something went wrong with our ceremony plan, he was the first to come and check in and help get me back in track to enjoy our special day. He cleared my plate from the reception so our speech photos wouldn’t be impacted, and he did a great job photographing our dogs who were not easy to corral. Thanks Jimmy for being amazing!

Hi! We're Michaella & Megan, the sister team behind Smile As You Mae Photography. We have the honor of documenting love stories and preserving the moments that become lifelong memories. With over 10 years of experience and more than 350 weddings captured, we've learned that the best images happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. Michaella is our lead photographer, and Megan is our lead videographer and second photographer. As sisters, we work seamlessly together to capture every meaningful moment while creating a fun, relaxed experience for our couples.

Smile as You Mae was phenomenal to work with! From my first inquiry to the wedding day, Michaella and Megan were a joy and instantly made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to talk through everything with me ahead of time. We stuck to the schedule we created together and were able to get everything my husband and I wanted from the shot list, and took pictures that would fit everyones tastes (details, close-up shots, formal, fun long exposure during the reception, everything you could ask for)! They were professional and got amazing photos, but many guests stated that they didn’t even know they were there throughout the reception, which is how well they were able to blend in with the group while still catching all of our moments. I can not recommend Smile as You Mae enough! I have consistently had people state that these photos look like they belong in a magazine, so if thats the quality you want (which you know you do), don’t hesitate to book them!

As a wedding venue owner we see many photographers here. Stephanie Small is one of our favorites. She captures the beautiful scenery along with the love each couple shares. One of the most important elements you want to consider when selecting a photographer is can she or he do a fabulous job quickly so you don’t miss out on your reception. We are always impressed that Stephanie and her assistants work so efficiently and produce amazing photos. She also has a well organized gallery of photos for the bride & groom. We highly recommend Stephanie Small photography for your wedding!

With a background in theater, I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and blend seamlessly into your day while offering gentle direction..

Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

On the wedding day, Chelsea showed up with her assistant and captured everything: from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the most stunning sunset portraits. She made us feel completely at ease, and it truly shows in our photos. Every shot feels genuine, vibrant, and full of emotion. Chelsea captured every important moment.

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

What stood out most was how she captured the in-between moments. The photos felt emotional and real, not staged. Looking through our gallery honestly felt like reliving that season of our relationship.

I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

Hey, I'm Bri, a wedding and couples photographer based in Wilmington, NC, shooting all over the East Coast and beyond. I work in digital and film, mixing in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 depending on your day. I'm not chasing posed shots. I'm after the real moments, the ones that happen in between, because that's where the honest emotion lives. My own wedding taught me exactly what I didn't want in a photographer, and it's shaped how I show up for every couple since. I pay attention, stay close but out of the way, and I'd love to hear about your day.

I hope at the end of reading this review, your heart is beaming with joy and excitement knowing that this is THE person who can capture those special moments you want to look back on years down the road. Long story short - CA girl moves to OH. My love and I created a home. Bri is now family. I knew all I had to do was have an Americano ready and outfits laid out. In seconds we were laughing and rollin. Bri captured the warm light that pours through the blinds of our big loft windows so magically. Her energy is genuine and calming. I loved that her style was more candid and authentic than structured because as Austin and I sipped coffee, danced around and loved each other, she was capturing those moments most dream about – the butterfly smiles, the gestures sometimes you think only you two notice, the kisses given that make your heart full. What I didn't truly realize, was how important it is to have photographer that makes you feel comfortable. This is a person seeing the most intimate, important moments of your life and I couldn't imagine anyone else being behind the lens capturing those other than Bri. I feel so fortunate to share some big life moments with Bri and can't recommend her enough. We love her and know you will too!!

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Shannon Clark was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. Shannon is quick to respond and absolutely accommodating - she is determined to make you happy! She showed up with encouraging words, opinions, and advice, and was extremely patient with the obvious stress and nerves, always making sure to get the job done. Shannon has taken many more pictures for us, before and after our wedding for other events in our lives, and she has practically become family at this point. She checks in, sends sweet gifts after we got married, and is always there to help book other sessions, short notice or months in advance. We absolutely adore her.

Rondasia and her team guided us naturally and captured every emotion during our first look. The photos were vibrant, romantic, and full of genuine emotion. They transformed our special moments into a beautiful visual story that we will cherish forever!

I like taking photos almost as much as I *love* connecting with people. I've been in this industry long enough to navigate any wedding day curveball with ease and a laugh, but not so long that I've grown tired or disillusioned with the beauty of weddings. I love love, I love people, I love working hard for them, and I really love film.

I've second-shot weddings with Sally for years now, and I can tell you exactly what your day looks like with her behind the camera: calm, organized, and genuinely fun. She's the photographer who has your timeline memorized, your family wrangled with a smile, and your grandma laughing in candids you didn't even know were happening. Then the gallery lands and you're hit eith all the beauty and emotions from that day all over again.. but x10, because now you're seeing it through hers. As someone who does this work myself, I notice things most people don't - her eye, her ethic, the way couples light up around her. I'd trust her with my own wedding in a heartbeat.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me count the ways that Laura is the best...and you would regret not having her capture your day. From the first moment you reach out to her she will take time to get to know you, your ideas you have for your day, go over options that may also fit your dreams that you may not have thought of, and give you the best quotes and jokes from start to finish. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease with the day and is always willing to go with the flow....and the weather in western NC is always all over the place so that's always a fantastic trait to have. Laura keeps up with her communication, gives amazing vendor recommendations if you're missing something, and can offer the best options for places to have your ceremony and additional pictures if you want a change of background scenery. Long story short, Laura is simply the best...movie quotes and all.
