Location Photoshoot at Slinky’s with Myrissa and Mike

Hot, humid days like today remind me of my youth and going for an ice cream and a Pepsi. Nothing beats the heat like a freezing cold, sweet, melting-in-the-sun drippy ice cream cone. Nothing! So when Myrissa asked me if wanted to do a location photoshoot at an ice cream shop, I was in like gangbusters! I met Myrissa and her fiance Mike at Slinky's Ice Cream in Tecumseh, Ontario. After waiting for a queue to get their ice cream, it was our turn! The ice cream was great. Those giant waffle cones are soooo good! I made a bunch of exposures of Myrissa and Mike eating their sweet treat and of course solo…

Engagement – Derek and Crystal

The Engagement of Derek and Crystal This was a special engagement session! I have worked with Derek and Crystal a few times in the past. They are the sweetest couple ever! My favorite collaboration with them was a portfolio collaboration titled "Where the Wild Things Are" which was conceived by Crystal and features Derek, Em (another photographer/model friend) and Crystal herself. Good times! "We Want YOU!" So it was a very nice surprise when Crystal contacted me and said, "Ray, we want YOU!" (to shoot our engagement photos). After hearing their idea, it became very clear why they made their choice.  They wanted something inspired by the rain scene in The Notebook.  I admitted that I had never…

Engagement – Danny and Mel

Engagement - Danny and Melanie Danny and Mel, a beautiful young couple, were looking for a photographer. When chance arose and Sharon recommended Ray Akey Photography as their wedding photographer, we consulted with them, showed selections from our wedding and engagement photography portfolios and agreed to do an engagement session so we could all get to know each other before the planned wedding day. If that went to everyone's liking, Ray Akey Photography would be hired as the couple's wedding photographer.

Wedding Photography – Ava and Chris

Ava and Chris Moor Wedding Photography | Ava and Chris Moor I have not advertised that I do wedding photography. However, our new friends Ava and Chris were referred by a mutual friend who knows my photography work very well; a friend whom I have collaborated with in the past. Ava had been searching for a wedding photographer that fit her needs. We had a consultation and found that she needed someone available short-term and didn't want a full day of photography. The wedding would be a simple ceremony with a small bridal party and select guests. Sharon and I were also welcomed to attend a small reception with wine and snacks, as guests not photographers. (I planned to…
