Ray was absolutely amazing during our engagement pictures and the wedding. She is genuine and joyful and her style reflects that. She helped bring out the best in us for the pictures, because we were genuinely having fun with her the whole time! We weren't the only ones to notice and got so many compliments from our bridal party and wedding guests.

Ray has been an absolute joy to work with. As our wedding plan changed (over and over again) with Covid, Ray was enthusiastic and helpful giving suggestions as our plan switched and being so incredibly supportive every step of the way. We didn’t meet face to face until the wedding day but the moment she walked in the door it felt like seeing an old friend. Ray captured every moment in a fun and genuine way. She helped move the day forward organically while interacting with our guests like a member of the family. Ray captures joy, love, and movement is a way that can only be described as magical. Her photography is absolutely stunning. A person has never been so aptly named; Ray is truly a Ray of sunshine.

My husband and I hired Ray as both our photographer and videographer for our wedding and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Having quality photo/video was very important to us and our families and Ray went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was also very flexible in terms of photoshoot locations/timings and did a great job in directing my husband & I to get the best shots while still incorporating ideas we wanted for our pictures. Highly recommend his work!

Having Ray as our photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I am one of the first , amongst my friends and family to get married and I went to Instagram to find my photographer. In the mist of the wedding process finding a photographer was one of the MOST important decisions I had to make, and I knew instantly after our first initial meeting with that he was the PERFECT fit for us. Ray has an amazing team with him and was able to capture our wedding better than I could have envisioned!! What I love most was Ray was always able to think outside of the box and capture every magical moment. Having an elaborate Pakistani wedding , with several events - Ray effortless was able to manage without any instructions. Ray helped us navigate and gave us the direction which I am so grateful for.

I'm so happy we went with Ray for our wedding video. His team was very professional and timely. This is a video my wife and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. Hands down one of the best videographer I have seen and 100% would recommend him to anyone looking. I keep getting goose bumps every time I watch my video. Thanks again Ray for the great work!

This was the best decision I made, besides proposing to my now wife of course. Extremely professional and flexible. I heard great things about Ray from others and he exceeded my expectations. I ended up hiring his services for two of my events and I cannot be happier with the end result. I highly recommend Ray to everyone and will definitely use him for all major events going forward!

Ray is, quite simply, the best in the business. If you look at his website, Facebook, or Instagram pages, you will fall in love with his work. He is as adept at taking traditional wedding photos (the stock family shots or dance floor photos we are all familiar with) as he is at taking artistic editorial-style photos. Indeed, some of his photos are so stunningly gorgeous that you will think you're looking at a painting. His photographs tell a story; they capture a moment. And some of them will even take your breath away. What more could you want on your wedding day? We are so in love with some of our wedding photos that we plan to use them as artwork in our new home, and we are totally not those kind of people. We did our first look on one of two gorgeous spiral staircases at our wedding venue, the Hotel Monaco in Washington, DC, which is both a luxury hotel and national historic landmark. The photographs that Ray took of us from atop the staircase looking down are at once beautiful... Read more, memorable wedding shots and incredible architectural photography (a style of photography we love to display in our home). Ray's talent is matched by the warmth of his personality, which is evident from the first time you speak with him. He's devoted to giving you the end product you're looking for. He's proud of his work, and he has a tremendous amount of respect for his clients. He will go the extra mile for you, even if it means laying on the cold ground in a puddle of dirty rainwater to get a beautiful shot of you and your significant other (that's not an exaggeration; he did this during our engagement shoot in DC). And, while, we did not ask Ray to jump into the Potomac River to capture a particular photo, you will see from his social media accounts that he has actually jumped into bodies of water before to take gorgeous photos for his couples. I know few other photographers who would go to such lengths for their clients. But for Ray, his couples are much more than just his clients, they are also his artistic muses. He wants your photographs to be as beautiful as you want them to be. Ray is, not surprisingly, a hot ticket, so if you love his work, and want to hire him for your engagement shoot or wedding, reach out to him ASAP. You won't regret it. I cannot have imagined anyone else capturing our wedding day. We are over the moon happy with our end result. You will be, too.

Ray, I dont know where to start. Literally the most passionate person I have personally met. He went above and beyond for my fiance and I. Due to a family emergency we couldnt do our pre- wedding shoot until a week before the wedding, Ray made sure we had a video and that it was PERFECT. Ray and his team stayed up late nights editing our pre-shoot video so it was completed before the wedding day. Ray makes it his responsibility to make sure you will love the photos he takes, trust me you will not just love your photos you will LOVE your photos. Ray is very friendly and will definately make sure you are comfortable to make it a smooth process. I am so glad we received his services for out fairytale wedding and we plan on cherishing this relationship and plan on receiving his services for all of our future events! Can't wait for my wedding photos. We love you Ray. Shana &Ricky Link to Engagement Video https://youtu.be/Lhmzw6igi0w

I’ve known Ray for 6+ years and i couldn’t wait for the day to get married so I could have him as my wedding photographer. He is truly amazing. His shots are perfect. He is hands down the best photographer in the DMV area. I wouldn’t even look further then Ray. He is high quality and does top notch work. We got married August 26, 2018 and he made us so comfortable and was so professional. He’s the only person I would recommend personally. Now let’s talk results.....our pictures are so gorgeous and perfect. Our wedding video was literally like a movie. The quality is so amazing you can’t even believe your eyes. I just love love love Ray and would 100% recommend him. Thank you for a great experience and we are so happy!

Our wedding was on August 4th 2018, and we got our photos only a month after. Such quick service and we were blown away with the quality pictures Ray shot. He got every perfect moment. And during our photo shoot, he was a lot of fun to work with. He knows all his angles and poses! Would recommend him to anyone and everyone for any occasion.

Ray is literally the best Photographer in DC area. He is a humble, well organized and very professional. Listen to his advice because he makes wonderful photo phots and he won’t disappoint you for sure. I hired him in my wedding and he absolutely gave me more than asked for with quality pictures and video. I feel like a movie star whenever I watch my wedding pictures and videos. Believe me he will be your best choice.

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!!! He did my wedding, my sisters, my brothers wedding and all our events. He’s our go to guy! He always goes above and beyond for us. He knows that the bride is stressed as is and he just takes that stress away. One thing less for you to worry about. If you don’t go to Ray, you’re going to regret it. Truly and honestly a loss if he’s not the photographer for your event. I’ve never seen anyone have better wedding photos than mine and my family members. He’s so creative and has such fun ideas! You can’t go wrong with Ray! Take my word for it; you won’t be disappointed!

My Husband and I couldn't be happier with Ray, his talent, professionalism, and personality made us feel very comfortable to choose him not only as our wedding photographer but also the videographer. Ray was able to capture the best moments of our special day and also made sure that no guest was left behind in the pictures. Our wedding pictures couldn't have been more perfect. As soon as we received our pictures, we couldn't wait to share them with family and friends. We got such great feedback from family and friends on the photos and were told what a talented photographer we worked with. Ray Alghadban is going to be always our 1st choice for photography and videography in the future, and his name will always be my recommendation to family and friends. Thank you Ray!!

Totally upset, not recommended at all, escapes from responding back or solving the problem of the pictures he took. Eager for more money after the wedding if we asked for a better edit after we found most of his pictures specially in church and in our rooms during preparation was having too bright background like a passport picture and some of them we couldn't see it sharp and some of them was hazy. We did amazing decorations but we miss them in the pictures because of his very bright background. He tried to fix a certain number of pictures but he didn't want to do more or even to fix them all after I send him back to ask for more modifications and edit. He doesn't want even to give us the raw pictures, he said he doesn't have more files for us after he said before that he choosed the best of them to give it to us and edit them. His Pictures are very poor in imagination and quality and poor in its edit. He doesn't get someone to help him with adjusting at least the dress to save mon... Read moreey to not pay for others he took more than the vidoegraphy howeverthe vidoegraphy did awsome job and got 3 other peopleto help him... his pauses are very bad he doesn't care about adjusting your position your train or your necklace or being careful to have an excellent shot for you, he doesn't repeat the pictures after he looks at it if he found something wrong..we gave him enough time for pictures but he didn't do his work as it should be. I couldn't find a picture for us as a groom and bride to make it big and put it on the wall. He is so sneaky to escape from you to confirm about details and when first time we met I tried to ask and confirm about everything about the hours we want but he looked at my fiancée to make him feel like he is not a man to let me talk with him to make a problem between us but my fiancée understood his way but we didn't had enough time to look for another photographer as the one we were with apologized suddenly due to COVID-19 situation and when I tried after to contact him to ask about the address of the park that we would go to for outdoor session or ask about any details I want was very hard and I felt like he doesn't respect his customers specially women and when he wanted to respond back he responded to me as I were my fiancée to make me feel that I am regretted..when we send him he escapes from why he doesn't respond back he days his daughter looks at his messages and that he didn't see it.. was very hard to deal with... made me totally upset to remember what happened in the most important day in our life...he spent his time during our Wedding taking contacts information from our guest to do more business and forgot about us as a groom and bride to take excellent picture with adjusted light, edit, bouquet, train, position,necklace, hair, beautiful face,smile, good background to put it at wall. He took care about other pictures in groups but not for me and groom alone.. I see he has 2 pages on Facebook one has beautiful job and the other one for people like us. I wish he had refused to take pictures for us rather than what happened. I see other bride pictures and I feel jealous from them as I wished that I have a good picture for us like they had in their wedding like any girl dream for that special day... he did his best but it not the best at all even he can do better but this would be for other people who would pay more..very poor in his imagination...waste your time..very lazy.didn't take good pictures for my bridesmaids and groom men after the dressed up with me and groom even when we went to venue when it is empty.didn't take pictures of guests in venue when sitting on tables so those VIP guest who didn't dance i don't have any memory for them.didn't direct us to take pictures on the stage with beautiful background with my bridesmaids and groommen as I forgot. he didn't pay attention to us at all..he left the groom when he was greeting people on tables and sit to eat and didn't care for his work..he didn't take pictures on stairs to have an excellent picture for the train. Don't trust pictures he post as he chooses his only good ones he did to show it to people but this is not what happens on real time in your wedding. Big lies. Didn't pay attention to say to groom to wear his jacket again in venue during the pictures on stage and other before he leaves. Doesn't not pay attention to details
