Meet Ryan Gray – New Orleans wedding photographer

– a photographer with a modern twist

Heavily influenced by my career as a published musician, medical student, and visual artist, I bring an artistic perspective to my work as a wedding photographer. With more than 10 years of experience in visual arts and media, I pivot my creative process to more personal photographic areas – incorporating fashion photography and a natural keel to my wedding collections, personal portraits, and special occasions. Ultimately, these diverse paths allow me to transcend my photography into “art for art’s sake” and artfully capture the defining moments of your life to a quality not often seen.

 

Likewise, my past is further broadened as a touring music artist (Luxley), epicurean, sommelier, and renaissance-man about town, bolstered by a wide-ranging education including medical school, foreign language, and poetry.

 

Ever the perfectionist, I make a considerable investment in every commission to ensure the highest quality result.

BEHIND THE LENS

Worth more than a thousand words

Like a picture, a song can evoke our most delicate emotions. Touring as a songwriter is altogether among the many unique experiences that strengthen my eye as a photographer and take my creativity the extra mile. Book my Day Package (email me for more details), and you'll also receive a picture slideshow with your own personal soundtrack.

Don't Waste a Single Drop

With a world class background in the food and beverage industry, knowing how to bring positive energy to my guests and succeed with other vendors come natural to my photography work. Book my Day Package (email me for more details), and I'll throw in some film grade edits with your wedding photographs. Sometimes a great kodak photo puts the cherry on top!

Don't skip a beat

With any booking, you can always lean on me for guidance and to accomplish your goals. My extensive background in liberal arts and academia (namely medical school) has shaped some of my strongest suites for executing my events: proficient time management, reliable communication, thorough planning & research, experience working under pressure and knowing when to direct.
