Wedding

With years of experience photographing weddings, I offer high-end photography services that deliver exceptional image quality.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event; let us ensure it is captured with the elegance and sophistication it deserves.

Elopement

At the end of the day, it is all about you two. Maybe with a few loved ones attending… and me! I will make sure your small yet intimate gathering is one to remember. When it comes to servicing my clients, I am always professional, outgoing, and timely.

My goal is to make your experience enjoyable and uplifting, resulting in images that reflect your love and joy.

Videography

For those moments that deserve to be cherished in more than just still images, my network of talented videographers is here to help. Together, we create cinematic videos that you'll treasure for years, capturing the essence of your celebration in a sophisticated and engaging way.

Surprise Proposal

Planning to pop the question? Let me help you orchestrate the perfect surprise proposal. From selecting the ideal location to planning the timing and concept, I provide a full-service experience. You focus on the moment; I'll ensure it's captured beautifully.

Albums & Photobooth

From custom-designed wedding albums that become treasured family heirlooms to fun and interactive photo booth services for your reception, I offer a range of options to enhance your wedding experience. Additionally, consider a boudoir session as a special gift for your partner or spectacular aerial drone shots to capture your venue's grandeur.

About me

 
 

Hello, my name is Rago :)

Welcome to my website—it's a pleasure to meet you! I've been a wedding photographer for nearly eight years, and this craft is my passion. I savor every moment of capturing life's most cherished memories. While I love almond milk in my iced coffee and have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings, you might wonder, with so many talented photographers out there, what makes me stand out?

  • Before dedicating myself to the art of wedding photography, I worked in the hospitality industry, where I honed my problem-solving skills. Now, I bring that same dedication to ensure your wedding photography experience is seamless and stress-free. From helping you choose attire to advising on the perfect timeline, I guide you every step of the way, drawing on years of experience.

  • My goal is to create a luxurious and elegant wedding experience that makes you feel truly special and cared for. I want your day to be effortlessly perfect. With a background in fashion photography, I specialize in making you look like the stars of your own timeless story, all while ensuring you feel at ease. Crafting chic and sophisticated imagery is my top priority.

  • As a married, gay man, I bring a refined sense of style and a keen eye for the latest fashion trends. You can trust me to direct you and your wedding party with a tasteful and high-end perspective.

  • When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me in the studio training with my competitive dance crew or teaching dance classes. My expertise in movement helps me capture those fleeting, intimate moments that truly define your day. During your engagement photoshoot, I'll coach you on how to pose and move gracefully in front of the camera. In my book, everyone is photogenic.
