MEET THE NEW STAR

Meet Ray — a 22-year-old Louisiana local, small-town girl born and raised, with a big presence, a bigger heart, and an eye for beauty in the moments most people miss. A photographer, model, and founder of Southern Charm Media, Ray has turned her love for capturing meaningful moments into a creative career rooted in storytelling, purpose, and timeless imagery.

What began as a simple passion has grown into a life shaped by vision and heart. Ray doesn’t just capture memories — she creates them.

You’ll find her where the energy is: under stadium lights at SEC football and baseball games, attending music festivals or front row in the pit at a country concert, singing every lyric and walking out with a setlist in hand (15 and counting). As a true country music fan, she lives for moments that feel alive and real. Hoping to one day keep the tradition going with someone special by her side.

Rooted in her faith and guided by kindness, Ray firmly believes everything happens for a reason. She’s deeply grateful for the season she’s in, confident in who she is, and hopeful for what’s ahead.

As she steps into this experience, Ray is excited to meet a man who knows what he brings to the table — confident, emotionally grounded, genuine, and strong in his values. Someone with a good heart, ready to show up, build a meaningful connection, and consistently invest in something worth choosing every day.

After a 3 and a half month roadtrip across the United States going on a date with a different girl in every state and a 3 day finale weekend, Matt picked his winning date of the Season – Alli from Massachusetts. Alli and Matt had a last-minute spontaneous date in Boston where they played Gel Blaster, had dinner and drinks at a rooftop bar and then met up with some of Alli’s friends/roommates to continue the night.

Alli stood out to Matt because of her easy-going personality, their chemistry and the bond they shared not only during their date but the time after, leading up to the season finale. Matt visited Alli in Boston after the finale where they were invited to the New England Patriots Thursday night football game and were given custom jerseys and on-field passes. Additionally, Matt collaborated with the Boston Celtics, where him and Alli got to sit courtside at one of their games. Beyond that, Alli and Matt enjoyed their time together exploring more of Boston, being featured on the NBC news and diving into Alli’s Massachusetts lifestyle.
