As someone who feels far more at home behind the camera than in front of it, I fully understand what it’s like to be nervous or not used to being photographed. That’s exactly why I approach every wedding day with a calm, supportive presence.

My goal isn’t to pose you into someone you’re not; it’s to create an environment where you feel comfortable enough to just be yourselves. I guide when needed, step back when it matters, and make space for genuine connection to unfold naturally.

You don’t need to ‘perform’ for the camera. I’ll help you feel relaxed, confident, and completely at ease so your photos reflect the real, beautiful version of you, the way your partner sees you, and the way you’ll want to remember this day.

Hey I’m Raymond and I’m so happy you’re here! I’m a Greenville-based wedding photographer who takes a documentary approach to capturing your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. Over 8 years ago, I found a love and passion for photography, which has been unwavering ever since. Outside of photography, I love spending time with my wife and our two pups, sitting in coffeeshops for hours, and moving my body!

I earned my B.S. in Digital Media Studies to refine my craft, but I believe what sets me apart isn’t just my knowledge or credentials, but my artistic eye. Capturing timeless moments and memories is something that will never get old to me. I am always challenging my creative limits, in order to deliver the best possible result for you. I love to learn about your love and life stories, so that by the end of our time working together, it feels like we’ve known each other way longer than a day. I can’t wait to work with you!
