I am an international wedding, elopement, and lifestyle photographer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  


Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, I moved to Canada at the age of 16 because I deeply fell in love with kind people and the beautiful landscape.


With a curious mind to explore the world and a passion for learning about people and their stories, I truly feel blessed to be a photographer who is a storyteller and has the privilege to preserve the feelings and stories alive forever.


Sincerity and emotions are what I value the most, and this reflects on my approach to my photography. I take time to get to know my clients and their stories to document the most treasured moments authentically. From grand moments (like a first kiss on a wedding day) to brief emotive moments that pass in a split second (like a small tear drop running down grandma's face during a speech), I quietly observe and capture them.

I get inspired by


  • Experiencing a new place, exploring a local market, or admiring a beautiful scenery to refill my creative juice
  • A good romance/romantasy novel (huge SMJ fan here)
  • Jaw dropping scenery
  • Beautiful cinematography
  • Great lighting
  • Art galleries
  • Fleeting moments
  • An unforgettable soundtrack

 

What I love


  • My two cats (chonky Nabi and goofy Boba)
  • Delicious food (sushi and dukbokki <3)
  • Trying out new cafes (go-to order: flat white)
  • A cold, crisp, white wine (Tidal Bay has my heart)
  • Running on the waterfront
  • Hiking (love a high-intensity, high-reward hike)
  • Paddleboarding on a glassy lake
  • Watching waves crashing to the shore

"The hardest part about working with Ray? Narrowing down which photos were my favourite!"


Ray is everything you want from a photographer: attentive, caring, talented, kind, and everywhere all at once!


My wedding guests keep telling me that every time they looked around Ray and her team was there capturing the moment! She was great at guiding my partner and I for posing. The hardest part about working with Ray? Narrowing down which photos were my favourite! I would recommend her time and time again!
