We hired Ray for our wedding last year and couldn't be happier. He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. He understood our story, and make that a focus on his work. We particularly appreciated how patient and skilled he was when photographing our family and the wedding party. Throughout the wedding, he managed to get wonderful shots of all the special moments while keeping a low profile. The final gallery, and the photo book, is a beautiful reminder of our celebration. If you want a photographer who is both highly skilled and a pleasure to have at your event, I highly recommend Ray Sy Photography. Thank you, Ray and Violeta! read more

We had such a great experience with Ray and His wife! They were a fantastic duo in helping take mine and my wives photos. Super grateful and highly recommend for wedding photos! read more

Last year I graduated from SJSU and wanted to get a few good shots of me to capture the glow of having a degree (finally!) The photos turned out great! I actually used one for my FB and LinkedIn because it made me look good haha. Ray was very patient and had a lot of ideas for different camera shots. And the turnaround time was really fast too! I'm usually very impatient with my homies when they take pictures at parties and get eager when I don't see them posted the very next day. With Ray, he had the photos touched up and cropped and ready to view in just a few days after my graduation party. I was really surprised and happy with how they came out. I recommend Ray as a photographer if you've never had anyone take professional photos done before -- or even if you have! He's a very nice guy who takes his time and has creative ideas to make you look good in the photos. I don't know when my wedding bells will ring, but when that day comes, you know I'm gonna call Ray! read more

Ray & Violetta were the photography team for our wedding this July. We were blown away by the level of detail, professionalism of their work. We chose their package that included the engagement session and were so grateful for their artistic eye. Ray really went out of his way to scope out the location site beforehand and to also research possibilities for us. He did the same, too, when we were looking for a good "first look" location before our wedding ceremony. We are so grateful for their work and how they captured all of the love and emotion of such a special time in our lives. We highly, highly recommend Ray Sy photography for your special event! read more

I needed headshots in order to market my new private practice. Ray did an OUTSTANDING JOB in helping me obtain a set of 15 beautiful headshots! I do not feel I am photogenic, but Ray helped me feel comfortable and get wonderful photos which I am proud to use! His studio is beautiful, comfortable and spacious with private areas for wardrobe changes. During the process he showed me how shots were coming out on his computer so that we could make adjustments to ensure the outcome was exactly what I was looking for. Do not hesitate to work with Ray Sy Photography. You will love the results! read more

I've hired Ray for several family shoots and he is outstanding. What makes him unique is that he worked well with my 3 kids and got beautiful pictures that are not your "run-of-the-mill" type shots. His skill and eye for details are top notch! His website photos speak for themselves. He is an amazing photographer. My wife is a wedding coordinator and she recommends him to her clients all the time. read more

We hired Ray for our wedding photos, as well as our engagement photos. Breathtaking is the word I'd use...super impressive, professional magazine quality. The best part of the experience however would probably be how versatile and smooth the actual process was. Having Violeta there to take pictures of my wife and the bridesmaids was a huge plus, totally put her at ease. The other photos were taken quickly and smoothly, and we had a lot of laughs with the bridal party. Definitely appreciated the creativity...we would not have been able to think of any of those poses! If you are able I would highly recommend Ray Sy. Good photography is one of the best investments you can make in a wedding, as everything else lasts only a day (whereas these amazing photos will last a lifetime). read more

Ray did our Parent's 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary photos and slideshow. It was such a joy seeing the work after the event. We were overjoyed. Most of all, our Parent's were overjoyed with the work Ray did for us. A must hire photographer for any event! read more

We had the most greatest experience with Ray taking our first professional maternity pictures/ family portraits. It was relaxing and not rushed. What we really appreciated about Ray was him being at the location early to find the perfect picture shots for us to shoot pictures. The pictures came out amazing! He was able to catch great moments of our daughter, which as most parents know, toddlers are not the best at staying still, especially at a beach. It was a great experience and we def plan to use him again once as second baby is born. read more

Ray and Violeta are an amazing team. They are very patient, creative, and hard-working. They will make sure the photos that you want are taken. The quality and lighting of their photographs is amazing! The album is stunning. Not only did they travel with us for our destination renewal of vows in Hawaii, but they have taken our family holiday photos for the last five years. We highly recommend Ray Sy Photography! read more

Ray is an amazing photographer. He walked us through everything we needed help with. I highly recommend him!

This last weekend we hired Ray to shoot some family portraits. We met on Stanford Campus in Palo Alto, CA. The entire shoot was nothing short of amazing! The quality of the photos in itself is terrific. However, it's Ray's ability to capture shots that takes a very specific skill. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Ray is a great photographer. We hired Ray to take our holiday photos at the Chamber of Commerce Mountain View. He was punctual as well as professional. It was the best corporate photo I've ever taken. Thanks Ray! read more

This is the second time we have hired Ray to do our family pictures. We have a 1 year old and an almost-3-year old who he works amazingly with. In fact, my 2 year old takes horrible pictures for anyone else (we've had memberships with Picture People and JCPenny) but when she sees Ray she just turns it on, doing anything he asks! It's unbelievable! I think that Ray has a great laid back and relaxed attitude while shooting which makes my girls feel comfortable. He has a great artistic eye and takes original and quality photos. He is always well prepared with knowing the venue and having ideas. He is also open to our suggestions which I really appreciate. I am really picky with photographers ~ and I can definitely say that I found our family photographer! read more

Ray is an awesome wedding photographer - but he is more than that - he is a gifted artist and designer. Our wedding was particularly daunting to photograph because we had a large wedding party of 25+ attendants. Despite this challenge, Ray captured the heart and soul of our wedding day! We were thrilled to death with the quality and magic behind the photos and video he produced. He is also a delightful person to get to know and work with. My husband did a lot of research on wedding photographers before choosing Ray - check out his website for yourself! His work is exquisite. read more

We were delighted with the Sy's work. Beautiful photos, a great mix of posed and casual shots, great communication, prompt delivery of photos. They really succeed in capturing the emotion of the day: the joy, the friends, the smiles, the sunlight. We can look at our book and relive every moment of our wedding day. read more

My family has used Ray Sy Photography for the last 2 years. In the past we have used many other photographers but none of them come close to Ray. I have two little kids that are not easy to control and take pictures of. Ray is such a professional. He is very good with kids and is flexible. He listens to us and what we are trying to capture and he delivers. We are always so impressed by the quality of the pictures that he delivers to us! After the photo shoot, he takes time to edit and work on the pictures as well. Everyone who we show our pictures to wants to get Ray's name and number so they can use him. read more

Simply wonderful! We had a photoshoot at Cuesta Park with our 19 month old daughter. Ray was so good with all of us - the photoshoot was fun and relaxed. Ray was so friendly and pleasant - plus he did an incredible job working with our little girl to get the most beautiful shots. The pictures came out better than I even imagined and the turn-around time was faster than expected. Overall we will definitely hire Ray again - couldn't ask for anything more. read more

We could not have asked for a better pair of photographers than Ray and Violeta to capture our wedding! From first contact over e-mail to the in-person delivery of our final photo files, it was clear that their priority was making sure we were comfortable and that our expectations were met. They listened to what we wanted and elevated our ideas with their experience, creativity, and professionalism. Because of our engagement session and timeline meeting, we knew we didn't have a thing to worry about on our wedding day...even with the large amount of family/group photos we knew we needed to take! Every time we look at our photos, we get to relive the day and find new favorites. We are so thankful to Ray and Violeta for capturing these special memories, and hope to have them take family portraits for us one day. read more

Ray is an amazing photographer; he and Violeta make a great team! My husband and I did engagement photos with them as well as our wedding photos. They are really good at picking the perfect places to take pictures and helping us with romantic/sweet poses. We were so happy that we hired them! I really urge you to use them for whatever occasion you are having photos taken. You can at least have a consultation with them and see what great work they do. When you compare them to other photographers' work, you will be convinced! read more

We could not be more pleased after working with Ray & Violetta Sy for our engagement photos. From our conversations leading up to our shoot, our time during the shoot, and the communication afterwards, we always felt like the Sys' first priority was for us to feel special and to meet our needs. The Sys helped us to share the joy of our engagement with friends near and far by capturing so many special moments. Their shared joy for this moment in our lives showed through with their great attitude and wonderful suggestions. We were able to use a photo of us at a brick wall for our wedding invitations. We felt like the photo did a great job of showing our own individual personalities. The Sys being a husband and wife team was great as well since their shared passion for the process was evident and enjoyable to be around. read more
