Remember your story...

by blending THE intimate MOMENTS WITH EPIC PORTRAITS.

MOMENT DRIVEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Are you looking for a wedding photographer to tell the story of your entire wedding celebration: Rehearsal Dinner, Bridal Prep, Groom Prep, Wedding, Portraits, Reception and ending with Dancing - by photographing the REAL MOMENTS? If you are, I have you covered!

 

I am here to thoughtfully tell your story by artistically documenting the moments and emotion for your ENTIRE wedding day, not just a few short hours. I also make sure we have time for those epic photos that are sure to be displayed on your wall and in your wedding album.

I look forward to hearing from you and learning about the two of you, who you are, and your plans to celebrate you as a couple!

we felt comfortable and at ease...

We are so incredibly grateful to have had Rayan and Melissa as our wedding photographers! From the very beginning, Rayan was an absolute dream to work with—super responsive, organized, and full of creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. Her communication leading up to the wedding was seamless, which helped take so much stress off our plates.
On the day of the wedding, she was beyond amazing. She made us and everyone around us feel so comfortable and at ease. Her energy was fun, calming, and professional, and she captured every moment so naturally. Highly, highly recommend!!!

I'm Rayan...

I call Michigan home, and for good reason. We are filled with amazing locations for Elopements and Destination Weddings. From the amazing Turquoise blue waters of the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Huron, Superior, Ontario and Erie) to the gorgeous vineyards in the Leelanau Peninsula, Traverse City, to the vibrant cities of Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, and Grand Rapids. This state is filled with a little bit of everything. You can generally find me with my husband and three children on a boat on Lake Michigan, or roaming the planet, traveling, eating, hiking and exploring.
