I'm Rayben...
& I'm so glad you're here
Based in West Point, Mississippi, I photograph weddings for people who want more than just pretty pictures — they want to remember how it all felt.
Coggins Photography is all about connection. The quiet kind. The big, overwhelming kind. The kind that sneaks up on you years later when you’re flipping through your wedding album and catch a photo of your partner looking at you when you weren’t even paying attention.
I’m not here for stiff poses or fake smiles. I’m here for the in-betweens — the way your dad squeezes your hand before walking you down the aisle, the deep breath you take before seeing each other for the first time, the way your friends throw their heads back laughing during the toast. That’s the good stuff.
I serve couples all across Mississippi — from Tupelo to Oxford, down to Jackson — and into North Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee. I also take on a limited number of elopements every year for couples who want to ditch the timeline and do things their own way. Mountains? Desert? Your grandma’s backyard? I’m in.
This work means something to me. It started as a way to support my own family, and it’s grown into something way bigger — the honor of telling other people’s stories in a way that feels honest, heartfelt, and true to them.
No pressure. No pretending. Just the real stuff.

Your wedding experience is completely customizable to fit your vision and budget. Most couples invest around $2000, but I’ll help you create a package that fits you perfectly.
Absolutely! I love capturing love stories in new places. I’ve photographed weddings in Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and North Carolina, and I’m hoping to add even more states in 2026!
Travel is included in most of my wedding packages for destinations within about 5 hours (and an overnight stay). If your wedding is a little farther away — no worries! I’d love to chat about special travel discounts I’m offering for select locations in 2026.
If you have a dream destination in mind, let’s make it happen!
Do you travel for Weddings?
When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re gaining a friend and partner who’s fully invested in your wedding experience. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way.
From the moment you book, I’ll be there to help with planning, timelines, and anything else you need to make your day stress-free. I take the time to get to know you both so I can capture your love story in a way that feels genuine and true to who you are.
What should we expect when we book with you?
Yes! We understand that weddings can be expensive, so we’re happy to offer flexible payment plans. A small down payment of around 15% of your total balance is due when you book. The remaining balance can be split into manageable payments that you choose.
All payments must be completed no later than two weeks before your wedding date to ensure everything runs smoothly.

I believe the most meaningful moments happen in the quiet — those small, real, unscripted parts of your day where love truly lives.
Because I photograph just 5–7 weddings a year, I’m able to give each couple the time, care, and attention they deserve. My approach is simple: I listen closely, observe thoughtfully, and document your wedding honestly.
No stiff posing or forced smiles — just genuine connection and emotion, captured naturally. Together, we’ll create timeless images that feel personal and true to you — because your wedding day isn’t just a celebration, it’s a story worth telling.
