Ray Sawyer Newcastle upon Tyne (United Kingdom)

My name is Ray and I’m an Award winning wedding photographer. I’m originally from Newcastle Upon Tyne, however, I have lived in County Durham since 1998 and love it.

My style is truly ingrained in photojournalism, capturing moments in time to portray the story whilst drawing inspiration from the beauty of fine-art photography. I love being a great photographer yet also a story teller and visual artist creating distinctive and dramatic imagery.

As a multiple award winning wedding photographer, I consistently create artistic imagery my couples will love. I do this by experimenting with new techniques and blend various photography styles to challenge my vision and tell exciting stories.

This double exposure photo is actually around 6 shots. 1 shot of a silhouette and 5 different shots of a wall light at the wedding venue. It was a cool wall light and thought of something like this straight away.

A beautiful sunset lake district portrait. A view from the top of Walla Crag looking west over Derwentwater and the splendor of Cat Bells and a view other mountains. Amber and Matt were perfect during the shoot especially as it was windy.

The DJ and I discussed when to set of the Confetti canons. I took some 1st dance shots and then quickly switched to a wide angle 14mm lens and crouched down ready for the canons. I knew exactly the beat of the song for when the were to explode so I locked focus on the couple and fired several shots and selected the best of the bunch. Everyone loved the confetti canons going off.
