About Tim Ray…
No two weddings share the same story, just as no two wedding photographers are identical. What sets us apart? In essence, it's our vision and relentless desire to create incredible storytelling images for our clients.
While some photographers rely solely on innate talent, we've dedicated over 30+ years to continuous learning and improvement. This ongoing development not only has significantly elevated our craft but has led to recognition for our ability to "create art from nothing."
Clients seek us out consistently for our knack for transforming seemingly ordinary moments into artistic masterpieces. Our unique ability to manipulate and shape light allows us to turn sunset ceremonies and after-dark portraits into not just possible scenarios but truly epic ones. Most importantly, we are recognized for our unparalleled talent in narrating your story in a way that is both distinctive and deeply meaningful.
As the saying goes, "A decent photographer can make great images when everything is going right. An amazing photographer can make great images when everything is going wrong."

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING…
A WEDDING IN CHARLESTON
"I could not be more happy with our selection of Tim Ray as our photographer. He is extremely professional - he has done this for years so he knows how these events go and that really comes in handy! My Mom commented so many times after the wedding how she was fascinated when she saw the photos because he got so many wonderful photos of the reception and the ceremony - but we never saw him - he did an amazing job of just blending in. The photos were phenomenal and I couldn't have asked for more. It's also worth mentioning that I had a very eventful wedding - we flooded the hotel - by accident! Yet, Tim managed to still get all of my details shots, all of the shots I wanted AND we stayed on schedule - I was flustered but he never was!!
He isn't cheap - but remember you get what you pay for - AND I encourage you to price it out based on what it would cost you per hour - when we broke that down he was very competitive with other people.”
Kyle & Julie Shafer
A WEDDING AT OAK LODGE
“Tim did an excellent job at capturing our engagement and wedding photos. I was a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera and he helped me loosen up and have fun with it. He does a great job of getting both posed and action shots. His photographs are a work of art and we could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend Tim Ray Photography for any of your photography needs, you will not be disappointed.”
