Congratulations, T.I. and Tiny get married in South Florida!
The news is out, T.I. and
Tiny were married in South Florida this past weekend and I was very blessed to
be their official wedding photographer. The ceremony was beautiful, elegant,
and full of love. T.I. and Tiny are an amazing couple and I am grateful they
chose me to be part of such an intimate part of their lives. The reception was
phenomenal! The décor was dramatically exquisite! I can't go into detail
because T.I. and Tiny have chosen to keep this part of their highly public
life, private (for now). Also, for this reason I can't post any pictures (for
now). All I can say is, trust me; this celebration was full of celebrities and
glamour! Since Tiny herself divulged this in a recent interview during her
husband's movie premiere, I can mention that El DeBarge and Jamie Foxx gave
spectacular performances!
I would like to thank
Jordan Victoria of Event Couture, LLC. Her talents were invaluable to this
event! Victoria is an amazingly talented woman and I admire her work
tremendously. An event of this magnitude is not easy to pull off and she did so
with what seemed effortless ease and class.
I would also like to thank
the prestigious Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine, as this is where they
found me. I can't say enough about how this incredible publication has so
profoundly impacted my career.
I can't forget to thank my
team Antonio Sanzari (T the Britt) and Lara Rios. You guys Rocked it!
Mind-blowing event!!
T.I. has a movie coming out
this month, Takers. Ironically enough, he's one of my wife's favorite artists
and we are definitely going to make it a date night when it comes out.
Goodtimes...
I highly recommend this workshop to other photogs. The guys are great and you will learn a ton. FAB experience!
(08.02.10 @ 01:50 PM)About a Month ago I had a Dead on Exposure workshop...
Some cool photographers came from Florida and NYC we had a blast Photographing my Triathlete friend Milo and his Super Fast Bike... BTW it was super Sunny and about 95 degrees outside.
Here are some photo's from the day... Goodtimes

One of the important things about this workshop was EXPOSURE!! Manual and Kelvin shooting for the best colors we can get photographing in low light and NO FLASH and NO PHOTOSHOP right out of camera!!
Again a big thank you for flying me up to teach what I love to do photography...
The first and last photo tell the whole story of the "Goodtimes" we had the whole day...
Major goodtimes

Ray you were awesome!!! It was an honor to have you out for the workshop. We got to due a 2.0 class some down the road.
(05.28.10 @ 04:17 PM)flawless work...checked out some of the other photographer's work from the workshop and they all look great as well. What a fun looking group!
(05.28.10 @ 07:29 PM)Gorgeous images Ray, as always :) It looks like a beautiful location, and the models and dresses are beautiful too. I especially love the B&W shot of the couple descending the staircase. Can you share details (camera settings) on this image? Sounds and looks like another terrific workshop.
(05.28.10 @ 09:51 PM)Thanks for journeying to Kansas, Ray! It was such a treat to learn from and shoot with you. I love the B&W shot. I just captured some great shots from a wedding this weekend that I probably wouldn't have had I not picked up some tips from you... Thanks!
(05.31.10 @ 07:41 PM)It all started back at Rilion Gracie Academy my Jiu-Jitsu school where I have been studying for over a year.
When I heard from Chris Gracie, Rilion's wife that Rilion's Nephew Roger Gracie was competing @ STRIKEFORCE I was totally stoked to go.
Rilion Gracie and I went together to meet up with Renzo Gracie, Roger Gracie, Rolles Gracie, Igor Gracie, and friends. What a blast we had...
Also one of my best buddies Mike Colón and I photographed the event for Gracie Magazine. Here are some shots of the night... Goodtimes
Nice work Uncle Ray! It is cool to see Jacare in the dressing room with Roger, after all the EPIC battles they have had! I kept looking for you on TV, and I thought I saw you once :)
(05.18.10 @ 12:15 PM)Ohh! Wow! That's what my husband watches on TV, that's crazy. By the way, GRRRREAT PICTURES as always!!!
(05.18.10 @ 01:59 PM)Great stuff Ray- It must have been tough to pick the images to share! The first images of the guy in full guard throwing punches is crazy!
