Kylene & Ryan Studios

Hands down, I would recommend Kylene & Ryan to anyone in a heartbeat. We used them for our engagement photos, a boudoir shoot for me, and our wedding photography. Every single time we saw their work, we were blown away. What first drew us to them was their beautiful work--but what also hooked us was how incredibly fun, sweet, professional, and hard-working they are. On our wedding day, I was a nervous wreck about being on schedule, not running late, etc....until Kylene arrived. She is such a calming, bubbly presence and always makes sure everything is going according to plan. I told Ryan that every time I see Kylene, I know everything will be a-okay! My husband said that what really impressed him was that we could take the same photos at 4 AM in the dark and get the same quality of beautiful work as if we had taken it in broad daylight--they are so talented and truly know their craft. They are respectful and personable--a great blend of being personally involved and professional. I love that they took the time to listen to family dynamics and respected our request to do the photos quickly after the ceremony so we could maximize our enjoyment of our wedding day. My family said they loved that there was 'movement' to the photos--nothing seemed posed or forced; one guest said that Ky & Ry are the best wedding photographers she has ever seen. We keep hearing that the photos look like something out of a fairy tale, and I agree! They are so great at handling family members' requests/special needs (handicapped family members or babies who need to be photographed), and are both very dedicated to getting the best shot regardless of what has to be done to get it--standing on chairs, laying on the floor, crawling into a dancing crowd of people; they are great at putting people who hate being photographed (read: my groom & his family) at ease...AND, they posted sneak peeks so quickly! I can't wait to see all the shots but I know we will absolutely love them. Thank you, Kylene & Ryan! We will definitely be back for family portraits and law school graduation shots in the future.

We were referred to Kylene and Ryan when we were planning our wedding (the first time) in Tallahassee. It was an out of town wedding for us (being in Orlando) but the energy that Kylene and Ryan both have shines through in every communication! We connected immediately and I loved how much she was willing to try new things (for example, they were testing out doing custom video work as a new product and were excited to create a custom photo/video package for us that ended up saving us almost $3,000 by not having to hire a separate videographer). That was the first moment I fell in love with these two. As time passed, we ended up finding "THE" house and put our wedding on hold so we could buy our dream home. Not only did this amazing couple hold our date for us -- we changed cities (to St Augustine) and they joyfully followed us there! Talk about going out of their way to make sure the day is perfect, right? Over the 18 months of planning together, we FINALLY got to meet this amazing team in person on our big day -- and it was like we were old friends meeting up! I really felt like my friend came to photograph every special moment for me, not someone I hired. Kylene stayed me with (bride) and the girls and got all of our silly and sentimental moments, as well as humored us along the way. Ryan took off with the guys and LORD! Let me tell you how much fun they had! Probably too much fun haha! Probably my favorite part about these two is that they have ac reative eye and will create memories for you with the most unique ideas and angles -- on the fly! When we came down to decision time and were talking about our "must haves" -- I almost panicked when Kylene told me not to pick more than 3 because we would spend so much time getting my "must have list" that we would miss the opportunities for the real and candid shots that are the best -- the pseudo unplanned ones. I am SO glad I listened to her. Kylene and Ryan have a talent for leveraging the beauty around them and how to capture you in the best possible way that you will love and treasure for years to come. I am also glad I listened because as she predicted... my favorite photos aren't any of my "must-have" shots (although I love those too!!) We got our photos back in record time... and all my photographer friends who are the pickiest and usually slay other photographers work... could not stop RAVING about how beautiful the pictures turned out. I totally agree. Trusting Kylene and Ryan Studios to capture our day was the best choice we've ever made. Thank you Kylene and Ryan!

WOW!!!! I have to start with that word as that is the reaction that we have every time we look at the pictures they took of us in both our engagement session and our wedding. I had seen their work from a colleague's wedding and remembered being so impressed. 2 years later-when it was my turn to pick a photographer, I instantly went to them, crossing my fingers that they were available. From the moment that my fiancee (at the time) and I met with Kylene and Ryan, it was instant chemistry! We had lots in common and we all had great senses of humor which is important to us as a couple. I had been married before and the photographer that I used was my biggest regret. He was packed full of posed photos so that my memories are of people's outfits, hair and flowers and not at all the moments. I was passionate this time around- to not go that way. Kylene and Ryan were the perfect match for that passion as that is what they EXCEL at!!! Don't take my word for it- look at their portfolio!!! And I can tell you, even in the "goofy, may not make the cutting room floor", pics they capture sweet, funny and magical moments. We are IN LOVE with every single photo they took and we can't stop looking at them! And due to the magic of social media our friends and family feel the same way:-) I can't tell you how many messages we received about how in awe people were of their photos and moments and how they think that we look like we should be in a magazine:-) What girl doesn't want to hear that?!?!?!? So summing it all up- the photos speak for themselves, they themselves are FANTASTIC, PROFESSIONAL, EASY AND DELIGHTFUL to work with and we will recommend them to anyone that will listen to us! We can't wait to use them for our family photos as that grows as well:-)

I met Kylene when she was just starting her business 7 years ago and knew then that I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. I was not disappointed. My photos were fabulous, and are the only things left after that day flew by. She managed to be everrywhere, while never being in the way. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
