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...

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

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.

Fashion week in NYC with Grace Ormonde wedding style.
For many years now, Mike Colón and I have been photographing fashion week in NYC for Grace Ormonde Wedding Style!!
All I can say is, every time we meet up in NYC with Grace and her girls it's a Blast!!
The first photo is from the dressing room of a very dear and close friend of mine Ines Di Santo. Her dresses are all class!!
Here are just some photo's from the super busy week in NYC shooting for Grace Ormonde...
So so blessed to know them all.
Goodtimes
