THIS IS YAYA

Hey there! I’m Rahim, but you can call me Ray.

I’m a Melbourne-based videographer who’s all about capturing the real, the fun, the awkward, and the honest moments of your day—moments that will bring back all the feels for years to come. I specialize in wedding videography, focusing on making sure couples can truly enjoy their day while I capture those raw, unforgettable memories on film.

Originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, I’ve made a home and a name for myself in Melbourne, a city I love for so many reasons beyond its iconic coffee and chilly winters. Melbourne’s vibrant people, mouthwatering food, hidden alleyways, and stunning outdoors have all been the perfect backdrop to my work and life. I live here with my wife, Amirah, and our little ball of energy, Yara—our own “Yaya,” who also inspired the name Yaya Films (yes, the creative juices were flowing!).

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to be part of your story soon.

  • Aside from being a genius videographer & editor, Ray and his team are amazing humans, who were such a calming presence on our wedding day. Ray worked seamlessly with our photographer, capturing beautiful shots easily and with simple directions, so we never felt like things were staged or awkward.

  • Where can I start. Ray is absolutely phenomenal. He was an absolute pleasure to work with on the day, keeping a calm and professional attitude. He was so kind and worked well with not just us the couple, but our son and entire family. The videos he produces present a perfect mix of a lovely wedding with a great party. He worked super well with our photographer to ensure they both got what they needed

  • Ray invested the time to get to know both of us and nailed the videos - capturing the relaxed and fun energy we want to remember from our wedding. Funny story - three weeks out we discovered I told Ray the wrong date 🙃 He handled this so calmly and professionally, tapping into his network to organise a substitute lead videographer (thanks Dave!) who matched our vibe to a tee. Working with Ray was completely stress-free. He is phenomenal and we cannot recommend him enough!
