Hello, Thank You for visiting Marilyn Ray Photography.
I specialize in Adventure Elopements, small intimate weddings (micro weddings), and destination weddings/elopements. We are based out of GA and travel to several different locations and states.
We love the outdoors and feel a strong connection while in nature. We are regular hikers and kayakers who have combined our passion of the outdoors and our passion for wedding photography.
Blending Love and Landscapes!
Let us help you execute your wedding dreams!
I have won several awards for my photography including "best of Georgia of 2021" and aim to continue to make my clients happy!
I have an assistant that comes to weddings with me to help me in every aspect. She helps fluff the dress, straighten the vail, locate the missing, etc. She also catches beautiful moments on camera that I may miss. If she is unavailable for your wedding date, I bring my husband and he catches pictures as well.
You ultimately get two photographers for the price of one.
We offer three types of wedding photography.
Small Intimate Weddings or "Micro Weddings", Elopements and Adventure Elopements (SAND AND STONE)

SMALL INTIMATE WEDDING
SMALL INTIMATE WEDDINGS/ NOW CALLED "MICRO WEDDINGS" ARE SO SPECIAL AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING THEM!
The size of weddings have started to decrease drastically in the last 10 years only for them to become even more popular during the pandemic. Now the "micro wedding" is the most popular type of wedding in the industry. On average
Usually they include only guests that mean the absolute world to the couple and the wedding day is shared with everyone in such a close and intimate way. You tend to remember every minute and you don't get overwhelmed and stressed by the hustle and bustle a larger wedding can sometimes bring. Most Couples who choose this type of small gathering tend to focus on having a memorable event that is both affordable and stress free.
Grab your favorite people, find a place that speaks to you as a couple, use local vendors for your cake and flowers, and start your own traditions from the very beginning! The money you save with this type of wedding can be put towards your first home or that elaborate honeymoon you really wanted to take.

If she asks "do you trust me?" Just say yes! Believe me .. you won't regret it! -Ashely Gutierrez
GOOGLE REVIEW - Stephanie and Chris are so accommodating and easy to work with. We didn't know what we were doing and they were patient and fun! So much so that we wanted them to stay for the after party! Our photos on their facebook are awesome! Check them out! Pricing is reasonable. They were on time and worked around the fact that the bride was not ready in time. They got other photos out of the way first. They know what they are doing. Thank you guys for making the most important day of our lives so fun and special! - Kathleen and Peter Schott
