Framing Life's Joys, Making Memories Last
For every age, I capture the essence of life's celebrations.

Ray Riley... who is he?

Hello, my name is Ray Riley. I am originally from Cary, NC but currently reside in Suffolk, VA. My approach is simple: I combine creativity with authenticity, ensuring every shot reflects who you truly are. Whether it's the joy of a wedding day, the confidence of a professional headshot, or the warmth of a family gathering, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated.

I don't just take pictures, I create experiences. From the moment we plan your shoot to the moment you see your final gallery. I'm committed to making the process stress-free, fun, and meaningful.

Photography is one of my strong passions, but people are my purpose. I'd love the chance to capture YOUR story and help you create lasting memories that feel just as real years from now as they did in the moment.

Cheers!!!

Ray was full of energy and told us not to worry about any poses. this was our first time doing family portraits and he was patient and made us feel like we have known him for years. there are a lot of people that can pick up a camera and take pictures but there is only one Ray Riley. He was so amazing

Thank you so much for capturing our memories, you really don't know how much this means to us as we made plans we wanted to get a photographer but with timing amongst other factors it did not pan out as we had planned, BUT amazingly GOD sent you our way and we couldn't be more thankful for your kindness to help make this an even better moment.
