Hey! Im Ray
Photographer. Storyteller. Occasional dad-joke specialist.
Weddings are where most people find me, but the best part of this job is everything that comes after, newborns, growing families, anniversaries, and all the moments in between.
If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding and the story that follows, you’re in exactly the right place.
Because this isn’t just about one day. It’s about photographing your story, for life.
MEMORIES FOR LIFE
Photographing your story, for life
Wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Durham, travelling across the UK + Europe
Most couples first invite me into their lives on their wedding day. But many come back later for newborn lifestyle photos, family sessions, and the next chapters of their lives. Because once someone has documented the biggest day of your life, it makes sense to trust them with the rest of it too.
no cheesy posing
Weddings.
Relaxed, story-driven photography capturing the real moments of your day. No awkward posing. No turning your wedding into a photoshoot.
Just beautiful, relaxed, fun and honest photographs of a day that goes by far too quickly.
your family
Lifestyle.
Your photographer for life. My couples return to me many times over the years for Newborn lifestyle, First homes, Growing families, Anniversary shoots and more.
The story didn’t stop at the wedding, and neither did the photography.
working with businesses
Commercial.
If it’s not a wedding or family story, it usually falls into my commercial niche.
From headshots and personal branding to events, food, education and business content, I create natural, professional images that feel real, not staged.
Simple, flexible photography that works around your business.
Ray was absolutely fantastic!! He is so kind, thoughtful, and funny, and he truly makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. Our photos were truly a great representation of our wedding day and he captured such sweet moments with our friends and family. When we mentioned who we were using to our other vendors, they always spoke highly of his work and professionalism. If we had it all over to do again, we would pick Ray a million times over.
