let's get to know each other

My name is Rayees Backer.

Marriages are made in heaven, but weddings are earthly affairs. I am Rayees Backer and my mission is to bring a slice of heaven to your special day with the alchemy of light and time that is photography. As photography legends before me understood, good photography is more about clicking with people than clicking the shutter. I believe in weaving narratives that are personal, intimate, and reflective of the unique bond shared by each couple.


It's not just a job—it's a privilege to be entrusted with capturing memories that will be cherished for generations. As my clients will attest, in me you will have a trusted chronicler who genuinely cares about your experience and is fun to be around. In the words of Annie Liebovitz, “A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”

As a wedding photographer since 2015, I have had the honour of immortalising over 150 love stories through my lens. What began as a passion project while I was a law student soon transformed into a full-time endeavour, and I haven’t looked back. 


My journey in photography has taken me across the globe, where I have had the privilege of capturing weddings in diverse and breathtaking locations. Each experience has enriched my craft, allowing me to infuse a global perspective into every frame. Through my lens, I aim to not only document your special day but also to encapsulate the essence of your unique love story, regardless of how and where it unfolds. 



I am excited to share in this once in a lifetime event with you, capturing the joy, love, and unique moments of your special day. Let's create some memories to savour for years to come.
