Services
Wedding Photography
Our documentary-style wedding photography captures your special day through authentic, unposed moments. Using a street photography approach, we document emotional interactions and key details from pre-ceremony preparations to reception celebrations. Couples receive high-resolution images with full printing rights and access to private online galleries for easy sharing and download.
Engagement Sessions
These relaxed photo sessions help couples build comfort in front of the camera while creating beautiful images for save-the-date cards or wedding websites. Our sessions focus on natural interactions rather than rigid posing, allowing us to understand your unique relationship dynamics before the wedding day.
Candid Photography
Specializing in capturing spontaneous moments, our candid photography documents genuine emotions and interactions throughout your wedding day. We use discreet techniques to record authentic expressions during ceremonies, receptions, and between events, creating a comprehensive visual narrative of your celebration without interrupting natural flow.
Formal Portraits
We create timeless, professionally composed portraits of couples, wedding parties, and family groups. Our approach balances artistic composition with client preferences, incorporating location elements while maintaining efficient timelines to minimize disruption to your celebration schedule.
Image Editing
Post-production services include color correction, exposure adjustments, and minor retouching to enhance natural beauty while maintaining authenticity. We deliver fully edited galleries with both color and black-and-white versions of key images, ensuring consistent quality across all captured moments.

Ramy made us feel comfortable while he was working with us. We have so many amazing candid and posed pictures to remember our wedding day. He is fabulous at what he does, and I am so thankful he was there to capture our special day.

Ramses was absolutely amazing! From the second I e-mailed him inquiring about his services, to a couple of weeks after the wedding he has been quick and efficient as well as kind and someone you would love to have with you on your wedding day. He helped out way more than I expected and He was genuinely happy to do it. I received our photos a little after 2 weeks from our wedding and I cannot stop looking at them. They are amazing and I love re-living that special day. Thank you, Ramses! I will also remember you!

Very professional, friendly, and not the typical INTERUPT our time to do a million pictures. Just what we wanted & more!

Ramy was the best investment of our entire wedding. The shots that he took truly captured the joy of our special day. Looking back at the photos we can remember pretty much every moment, because Ramy was there for all of it. He captured the reality of the moment, too; it wasn't just the same old wedding photography. All of the photos look like they belong in Modern Bride or InStyle Weddings magazines.
We all look like rockstars! If you want the best experience with a photographer with the most amazing results, Ramy is the only person to call. His professionalism and desire to make our day perfect (even staying an extra hour at no cost!) shows in every last shot of the day. Thank you, Ramy!

We met with several photographers in the Metro Detroit area, and found Ramy to be the absolute best fit for us. We loved that he had new ideas, and didn't want to take the boring "formal" pictures. It was very relaxed and fun for us both taking engagement and wedding photos. All of our pictures turned out beautifully and were exactly what we had hoped for. If I did it all over again, I would go straight to Ramyphotography, no question!

We searched for months for the perfect photographer that could capture our wedding in the way both my wife and I imagined. Ramy excited our expectations. He captured every little moment that was special to us. From our engagement shoot to our special day every picture is perfect. He helped us pick out pictures when we felt we were overwhelmed with trying to find that perfect photo to display for friends and family. Thank Ramy for helping our special day be so perfect.
