Lissa Ryan Photography

her help in creating such unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime for us - by capturing everything down to the small details that we might've forgotten on our busy day. From our first look of Lissa's work as we were searching for photographers last year, we knew that her work stood out the most to us. From our first call together, we knew immediately that she was the one to be our photographer (she has such a genuine down-to-earth personality!) :') Lissa is truly a joy to work with in leading up to the wedding AND on the wedding day. Her smile and positive energy is contagious and so comfortable - it's just what us brides need on our big day (especially with all of the nerves.) Not to mention Lissa's patience and kindness is impeccable - we know it is very hard to navigate between our huge families and she was so very accommodating and sweet (for example, she allowed us to re-take photos when some families were missing from the reception tables!) We also wanted to give a HUGE shout out to her assistant Julia. She has captured so many behind the scenes and has truly gone ABOVE and BEYOND. My family honestly thought that Julia (her assistant) was the wedding planner because of the way she knew what she was doing and was so very helpful - for example, she helped all of the guys put on the boutonniere, assisted with holding purses/jackets, and much more. I cannot even count how many compliments from family and friends I have heard about Lissa and Julia. They are both such an AMAZING team and we are SUPER lucky Lissa and Julia as our wedding photographers! Everyone (especially my husband and I) cannot stop flipping through these photos - all of the details, the joy/cheerfulness/laughter, and SO much more! We love Lissa and Julia so much! ❤

pandemic wedding, we were lucky that Melissa was able to fit us in her schedule with each new date that we selected. She was professional and creative. So glad that we selected Melissa to document this special day in the life of our family. She was amazing and you will love having her as your photographer.

l of this Lissa was calm and ready with a seemingly never ending list of wonderful recommendations of who else to speak with! Her photography was nothing short of amazing, our family and friends loved the photos and she made sure to capture all the special moments that were important to us during the day. She was also really quick with a few edited shots for a social preview while we waited for the full images

ence of my daughter and son-in-law's relationship, both in the engagement session and on their wedding day. During the day of the wedding, Melissa was professional, organized and discreet, all the while capturing hundreds of beautiful, unforgettable shots.

s always EXTREMELY helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond to help us during our planning process. During our initial meeting we chatted about what our interests were for our big day and she provided venue suggestions. Ultimately we did decide to go with one of her suggestions and she was always helpful and willing to answer any questions or address any concerns we may have. The day of, she was so nice and professional - each one of our guest raved about her! Melissa is an incredibly talented photographer with an eye for settings, lighting, and angles - and she is amazing at capturing loving, intimate, and personal moments. She gives really helpful suggestions and is also very attentive and quick to capture organic moments between couples. We are so grateful she was able to be a part of our special day - we love our entire album and hope we can work with her in the future!

in our photos but also some of the more subtle DC touches. Melissa made the actual photoshoot very comfortable too! She shot with film and digital and it was amazing to see the film shots once they were processed. Since the film does need to be processed there is a little bit of a wait for the photos but totally worth the wait! Melissa was quick with editing the images and her online gallery is very user friendly and easy to see your photos. I would absolutely recommend Melissa and would feel honored to have her photograph our wedding!

our wedding photos. She communicates very well, so there are no surprises the day of. She has a timeline all laid out. My guests all loved that during the reception she would come to their table to get a picture. We just got our sneak peeks and they are awesome, we can't wait to get the rest back
