Hello, Thank You for visiting Marilyn Ray Photography.
I specialize in Adventure Elopements, small intimate weddings, and destination weddings/elopements in 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!
The love for nature is the very thing that gets us out in it. We see you.. .the trail runners and the "take it all in" hikers. The backyard campers and the back country explorers. The trail head tailgaters and the peak obsessors. The city explorers and the side walk strollers. However you get out there, we want you to do what feels natural to you on your wedding day.

Marilyn Ray Photography is located in Georgia and travels all over for weddings. I specialize in small intimate weddings. Rather that be an elopement or a Chapel wedding with your closest family members, we are here to catch your most amazing day on camera!
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.

SMALL (MICRO) WEDDING INFORMATION
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.
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
ELOPEMENT
BLENDING LOVE AND LANDSCAPES
What is an ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT?
It is just that. An elopement that is filled with adventure and I 10/10 recommend one!
It can be a yurt sleepover with all your loved ones, in the middle of no where or just the two of you under a waterfall.
Think breathtaking views and becoming one with nature. People love this type of wedding because they feel most connected when in the great outdoors.
WHO WOULD DO THIS
The couples who want this type of wedding tend to have a love of travel, nature and passion for exploring. They want to be unique. They throw all the rules out the window and do things the way they want to. They typically don't want the stress that "traditional" can bring. They are fearless and definitely not afraid of a little dirt. They live life on the edge, wear their hearts on their sleeves and value experiences over things.
WHERE CAN WE DO THIS
With an adventure wedding, the possibilities are endless. From mountains, to waterfalls, to beaches, to caves. To get to the destination of your choice, you can have four-wheeler rides, horseback riding, helicopter rides, or just a simple hike... Literally, wherever or however your imagination takes you!
WHEN SHOULD WE HAVE OUR ADVENTURE WEDDING?
Consider where you want to go and research. We can help you with this!
Look at weather, does your destination have a rainy season?
Think about Tourism, is it a tourist area and does it have a peak season? If so, consider the crowds, longer lines and booked lodging.
HOW DO WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?
Contact me and we can reserve your date, Talk about pricing, ask and answer all the questions you may have, bounce ideas and then all you have to do from there is relax, have fun, enjoy yourself and of course adventure!
