Wow! The photography and professionalism were outstanding. I loved our final portraits.
O”Ryan Empire did a beautiful job with our quinceañera celebration. They were focused, efficient and knowledgeable. The quality is worth it. Thank you!
What a phenomenal team!!! We chose O’Ryan Empire after interviewing 4 of our favorite teams. Their work is consistent and they were able to navigate around a few scheduling hiccups. Thank you Erik!
Beautiful work! We loved every minute of hanging out with the team. Easily one of our favorite vendors!
Erik was extremely helpful in creating the perfect timeline, making sure to include all the small "in-between" moments that we'd never thought of. We gave him space creatively, and he did not disappoint! He took the time to create a beautiful scene with lighting to make the room more dynamic and also captured the emotions of all of our guests during the party!
O'Ryan Empire was our best choice in vendors! We loved working with them on the wedding day, and loved reliving the moments when our gallery came. They were able to not only provide a beautiful cohesive gallery of images from the start of the wedding to the very end, but they were able to handle unexpected schedule and weather changes. They are true professionals, and I will refer them to EVERYONE!
I am usually not the “review leaving” type, however, exceptional work deserves to be recognized! Choosing the O’Ryan Empire team for our wedding was easily one of the best choices we made! The experience from start to finish was very customer focused and all about our complete satisfaction. Erik is a very personable man and made us free at home when shooting us. The team works efficiently and professionally—they are very communicative throughout the process and make a detailed call and send a questionnaire to ensure they get all the photos you request, aside from what they are already shooting. Not to mention, their payment website is very user friendly and delivers a live balance update as soon as you make each payment (we found that extremely helpful). On our wedding day, we had the privilege of working with Erik and Marlene, and the energy they gave us kept us smiling and laughing the whole time. Our guests even complimented them to us throughout the night! To conclude, we would love the thank Jacklyn for all the beautiful edits and finally touches to each photo! The entire team goes above and beyond and I would recommend O’Ryan Empire to anyone! Our wedding was captured beautifully and I could not be any happier!
Love this team! My initial reach out, I was communicating with Jaclyn, who was so fun and professional that we knew we definitely wanted to book them for our engagement and wedding photos. Although their stunning photos and so many positive reviews are what caught our eye, this team is just so great! Our engagement shoot with Erik was an absolute blast and it was clear he knew exactly how to capture what we wanted and exceed our expectations. For our wedding, it was during some pretty intense rainfall. This was, understandably, causing us to feel stressed as we needed to make many last minute adjustments, but the phone call we had with them the week before helped to put our minds at ease so much. He was excited and totally game to get some truly unique shots in the rain, and boy did he deliver! He and his assistant, Christine, were so knowledgable and efficient and were able to find the most beautiful places in the venue to really capture the moment. I cannot wait to see the final shots as I know they will bring up so many memories and emotions. Capturing great photos was a priority for us, so we feel they offered a great value, especially seeing how wonderful they were to work with and just as people! Whole-heartedly recommend!
O'Ryan Empire photographed our maternity shoot. Their expertise and warm approach made the experience memorable. The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing this special time in our lives beautifully. Highly recommend!
We LOVE O'Ryan Empire Photography!
They photographed my proposal, engagement session, wedding and maturity photos! Throughout the entire process, they were so attentive to detail, professional, and fun. My husband and I were so nervous and they made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. My family and friends were complimenting them the entire day of our wedding. We will love and cherish our photos forever!

I loved working with O'Ryan Empire! They were professional, detailed, and blended seamlessly into the event. The photos were amazing, and they worked well with the whole team. Highly recommend for stress-free and stunning wedding photography!
We had the most amazing experience with O'Ryan Empire capturing our special day. Their support made us feel truly seen and celebrated. The photos are not just pictures; they're a beautiful reflection of our love and joy. Highly recommend!
Our experience with O'Ryan Empire Photography at our venue was nothing short of outstanding. As the venue coordinator, I had the pleasure of witnessing their exceptional talent and professionalism firsthand. Jaclyn + Erik seamlessly integrated into our venue, capturing the unique beauty and atmosphere of each moment. Their ability to navigate through the event with grace and creativity showcased a level of expertise that truly enhanced the overall wedding experience. I wholeheartedly recommend O'Ryan Empire to any venue seeking a photographer who not only delivers exceptional images but also works collaboratively with the venue team. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing the essence of each event are unmatched.
As a wedding coordinator, I had the pleasure of working closely with O'Ryan Empire Photography and I am thrilled to share my positive experience. Erik is not just a photographer; he is a true asset to any wedding. I trust and recommend him to all of my clients.
I worked with O’Ryan Empire Photo + Video in late August as a DJ for an awesome wedding at Powerhouse Del Mar and had a wonderful time doing so. Erik and Jaclyn were both very professional and easy to work with, whether it was communicating about an upcoming special dance or toasts, they were always present and ready to go. Erik and Jaclyn were not only kind but very personable and helpful when any logistical challenges arose. I had a great time working side-by-side with Erik and Jaclyn and am glad to say our clients were extremely pleased with the entire wedding. I fully and 100% recommend O’Ryan Empire Photo + Video to any couple who want to the best. Thanks Erik and Jaclyn!
If you are considering using Erik and Jaclyn as your photography and/or videography team, JUST DO IT! My husband and I struggle finding good photographers that are capable of working with what we’re self conscious about or anything along those lines. We never personally got to meet Jaclyn, but the communication I had with her was always excellent! For my husband to talk about how much he enjoyed someone services is very rare, and he had nothing but good things to say about Erik repeatedly. He took the time to get to know us and our quirks, things we liked to photograph and things we didn’t. He made sure to capture all of our special moments on our wedding day and engagement session. This is the best husband+wife duo we’ve ever come across. And we agreed going forward that even though we’d have to travel to California to get family pictures done or even maternity ones when the time is right, we would. We will never use another team for our pictures. Thank you for being such a huge and vital part of our day. Your team is the best!
Erik was absolutely amazing to work with! My now husband and I loved having Erik and his team capture all the special moments on our big day. He was so attentive, professional, hospitable, funny and made us feel so much more comfortable in front of a camera. Thank you so so so much from the bottom of our hearts for helping us and working with our day of schedule and making everything absolutely amazing. You da best!!!
Hands down, our favorite vendor to work with! Erik and Jaclyn are organized, professional, experienced, and fun! They help keep things light so that you don't feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. We hired them for our engagement photos and our wedding day. Our photo albums turned out absolutely amazing! We couldn't be happier with everything they've done. They were communicative via email and text. They helped us organize our wedding day schedule and sped through our long list of family photos (even our family was impressed by the speed of pics!) Erik and Jaclyn make the best team and we love them so much! We highly recommend them!
We cannot recommend this team enough. Erik and Jaclyn took the time to personally get to know us, do a walkthrough at our venue, and understand our priorities for photos & videos on our big day. They set expectations very clearly. I highly recommend doing an engagement photo shoot as well because it's a great chance to get to know them and their personality. They made both me and my husband feel so relaxed it honestly didn't even feel like we were ever "posing" for photos. Erik has this incredible presence of calmness (which is super needed during all things wedding) while also being super on top of it and getting everything done. I never once felt worried about our footage or our photos because I knew Erik had it covered. Thank you O'Ryan Empire for being one of the top highlights of our wedding experience. We are beyond grateful. Your customer service was above and beyond.
We have nothing, but AMAZING things to say about Erik and Jaclyn! They are so fun to work with and our pictures are jaw droppingly beautiful. They are on top of their communication and their professionalism is top notch, which is greatly appreciated especially since we booked them two years in advance. They answered all of our many questions and their vibe is great. When we first met them for our engagement shoot, we both felt as though we had known them in another lifetime since it was so easy to make conversation with them. We are so glad that they were there to capture all of our special moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Erik and Jaclyn are an incredible photography team! I have been in several weddings, prior to having my own, so I’ve seen different styles and these two are levels above anyone I’ve ever encountered. The whole bridal party was super impressed with them, too. They paid attention to every detail and let us know when hair or positioning or little things were off. They were super authentic and diverse with their shots. They captured photos that ranged from bridal magazine cover looking to super intimate to awesome action photos. They were beyond easy to work with. They’re obviously great people—so kind and genuine, super fun, very respectful, and professional in their roles. They took their time to understand our family dynamics and what we envisioned and helped guide us through a lot. They were always responsive in a timely manner with everything from wedding prep to getting our sneak peak photo to getting our album. Honestly, they were more on it than we were. Our photos and experience with them couldn’t have turned out better and I’m so grateful our memories from our magical day can be kept alive and cherished through the pictures they captured for us. I can’t say enough great things about them!
Erik and Jaclyn were supposed to be the photographers for our wedding in 2020. Unfortunately, it was canceled due to COVID-19. Since then, I have used them for my maternity photoshoot and a photoshoot for my son’s first birthday. Every time, I have been blown away by the quality of the pictures. I would definitely recommend them for wedding photos, but they are also amazing at capturing other special events. They are both very welcoming and easy to talk to. We always have a great time during the pictures. They are definitely my go to photographer for special events and family photos!
Jaclyn and Erik are the epitome of professional and fun! I was extremely nervous to do a boudoir shoot and they made me feel so comfortable. The photos turned out FABULOUS! I recommend them highly!!!
Erik and Jaclyn are the best! We did an engagement shoot with them as well as our wedding day, and we couldn’t have asked for better photographers/photos. They were fun to work with, took the time to get to know us and be familiar with our families and wedding party, and had really creative ideas for photos. They definitely make you feel comfortable while taking your picture and allow you to have fun with the whole process! We love our photos so much and get complimented on them all the time. O’Ryan Empire Photography is definitely a great option to go with for your photographers, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks guys, you rock!!!
If you want your special day to be captured beautifully then you need to pick O’Ryan photography. One of the best wedding decisions we made was choosing Erik & Jaclyn to be our photographers. They were very professional and knew exactly what poses we needed to do. We have already seen some sneak peek pictures which are absolutely gorgeous and can’t wait for the final product!
I hired O'Ryan Empire to capture our engagement photos at Keys View in Joshua Tree, CA. Erik and Jaclyn were absolutely perfect in communication & execution & finished product. It took about 4 months between first contact and the actual event happening and they were involved/excited about the proposal the entire time. They helped with strategic planning, getting the location and setting correct, making sure I had all necessary items to make the moment exceptional for Alexis, and made the entire experience play out exactly how I saw it in my head. Erik and Jaclyn truly went above and beyond for us.
Saying that they are well seasoned, passionate and skilled in their trade is an understatement; cannot say enough good things about our experience with O'Ryan Empire.
Words can’t describe how amazing this power duo is! If you are looking for photographers that make you feel so comfortable make it so easy and enjoyable these are the guys for you! They broke my shy fiancé out of his shell so much he had the best time taking our engagement pictures. You’re so busy having fun with them you forget you’re even on a shoot lol. Even when they were under pressure when our original location wasn’t going to work they were quick to come up with a solution and make our engagement shoot dreams come true! Thank you guys for going above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. Their photos are beautiful and they capture amazing moments (the candid moments were some of my favorites). You can’t go wrong with them. We can’t wait for our wedding and see what else they capture along with our crazy family lol. You guys made a client for life! Thank you Jaclyn and Erik for going the extra mile for us we are beyond grateful and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Book them you won’t regret it!!
Working with O’Ryan Empire was an amazing experience. I have so many good things I could say about Erik and Jaclyn. From our very first phone conversation they were so friendly and easy going, making sure to address any questions I had. We scheduled our wedding photographs and an engagement session. When we met for the engagement session my fiancé and I both felt a little nervous because we had never been photographed in such a way. But, Erik and Jaclyn made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. Another thing I really appreciated from them was their flexibility and willingness to work with me. COVID caused my wedding date to be postponed and O’Ryan was very understanding and allowed us to move our date. They were always punctual in replying to my many emails and it was very reassuring that they were so good with communication. When it came to the date of our wedding, my husband and I were both really impressed with O’Ryan (as we knew we would be). They thought of everything and took so many amazing pictures. Our wedding party also enjoyed working with them as they got a lot of fun shots. They really captured my wedding day in a way that I will cherish forever. Their work is amazing I would hands down recommend them for anyone needing photographers for any special occasion.
WOW! Erik and Jaclyn are seriously THE BEST EVER.
My wedding was 1 hour behind schedule because the makeup artist decided not to show. Erik and Jaclyn in spite of the loss of time in the schedule were STILL able to quickly and beautifully capture my wedding day. I was so stressed out and worried that my makeup artist ruined my wedding and then Erik and Jaclyn stepped in and made me laugh, and reminded me what the day was about. I cannot recommend them enough! They will SAVE your day!
Erik and Jaclyn were great to work with. After our first meeting we new that they were right for us, we booked them that day. Through the process we found them to be professional, yet fun, they were prepared, and professional. They were truly interested in getting to know about us so that they could plan the perfect package. Our wedding photos were amazing, and what we found really unexpected is that they documented not only our wedding day, but they captured moments and details that we were oblivious to, due to the frenzied atmosphere. We’ve already planned to have them shoot out first anniversary. I would highly recommend them for any event.

They were the best photographers we could have asked for! They are so fun, make you feel comfortable, flexible, and down to make whatever you imagined come to life. I am so happy we had them for our big day! Pandemic and all, they made it work and they delivered absolutely stunning pictures to us that we will cherish for a lifetime!
Working with this team is absolutely amazing. They are incredibly talented photographers and just amazing people. Jaclyn and Erik use light, camera angles, different lens with an eye unlike anyone I've ever seen before, not to mention their impeccable talent when it comes to editing with perfection. They both communicate with you with such ease and support to capture fun, playful, candid, romantic, sexy moments in time. I received my engagement photos tonight and completely at a loss for words with how amazed I am with how they turned out. The only hard part about working with them is choosing favorite photos because I just love them ALL!!! I can't wait to work with them again at our wedding.
Jacklyn and Erik are an amazing team to work with. They’re very professional and extremely creative in their ways. They constantly try to grow and improve and put 100% passion behind every project.
We are so thankful that we got such amazing photos from O'Ryan Empire Photography, They captured our wedding perfectly. We have so many gorgeous photos to cherish! 5 Star!!!!
The best photographer we have ever had!!! 5- stars all the way! They are very personable and relatable. We will forever cherish our wedding photos! We would hire them again in a second.
SERIOUSLY AMAZING!
Finding the perfect photographer was my absolute priority for my wedding. I knew that my wedding photographs were all that I was going to have left when my wedding day was over. I love that O'Ryan Empire Photography has the technical ability to photograph in any lighting situation, but also the personable nature to deal with my crazy family members and the ever changing emotions. My HUSBAND and I are thrilled that we chose Jaclyn and Erik to photograph our day, and would recommend them to ANYONE looking for a quality team that cares about experience, and the gorgeous gallery you will receive!
Erik and Jaclyn are really dedicated photographers! They showed up early to meet the family and prepare for their first set of photos. They wore all black to stay professional and used radio’s so that they could keep constant communication with each other. I really enjoyed watching them work together and the photos came out incredible!
O’Ryan Empire Photography ,Erik and Jaclyn are Exceptional ! They are professional , efficient and so detail orientated . One of the Best photography experiences I have ever had . I felt so comfortable and at ease. They took their creative vision to the next level . The experience was nothing short of Magnificent.
Jaclyn and Erik were an absolute pleasure to work with. Talk about a professional power duo! From the moment we first spoke on the phone, we knew these two were the ones we wanted to capture our wedding day. Jaclyn and Erik will make you feel comfortable; and this is coming from two people who are camera shy. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to capture your story, your love, your moment. We love our photos! Thank you again, Brittney and Jonathan!
We had our engagement photos done by Jaclyn and Erik. I can honestly say they are the best! I provided a few pictures of what we were looking to have done and they knew exactly where to have them taken and made them look better then I could ever image. I will definitely use them again for future shoots!
Photographers, Erik and Jacyln Ryan, are one of the best photographers we have had the privilege to meet. They are personable, caring, and detail oriented. Their passion for photography and capturing our memories made our pictures ones we will treasure forever!
Jaclyn and Erik were professional and focused without being pretentious. Their work speaks for itself and is painstakingly detailed. The photos are timeless and reflective of the wedding and the couple’s natural aesthetic. The experience was relaxed and lighthearted.
Man - what more can we say about Jaclyn and Erik? Before reading any of the 5 Star reviews about them, we booked on the spot at our venue's open house. They were so funny, personable, and of course had a book of amazing work. Our photo package included an engagement shoot, but because we had those done already we were able to switch for family portraits. That was an awesome experience because it let us and our family get more comfortable with them before the big day. They were super patient (we had kids aged 3, 4, and 5 with us) and all the shots turned out great. As for the wedding itself- they were such pros. Splitting up to capture us individually in the afternoon and then working together for all the great group shots. They were like a well-oiled machine and made the process painless and fun. They knew all the best places for shots and got us and our bridal party around quickly to get back in time for the reception. To top it all off, we got along great and have been talking outside of the wedding. Cannot recommend enough! 11/10.
PS, my wife gave me a boudoir book as a wedding gift that they shot too... So yeah, they do it all. AMAZING!
I’m not sure where to begin with O’Ryan Empire. Jaclyn and Erik are relatable, funny, professional and extremely talented. We both tout them as our most valued vendor due to everything they did for us from engagement shoot to delivering the wedding gallery link. They worked with our dog really well, which meant a lot to us. And while I know every bride and groom likes to think they have the best photos ever, our photos seriously look like they belong in a magazine. Having worked for a media company, I like to think I have some credibility in saying this! :)
On the day of, they both worked the entire wedding/reception in sleek black outfits and in-ear walkie talkies to keep track of their progress together. I found this all really impressive and well planned on their part. They guided the wedding party and families in the most efficient way I’ve seen at a wedding and had us off to our grand entrance in plenty of time. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone and we plan to reach out again if we have any future photo needs!
We were lucky to have O’Ryan Empire photograph our wedding at Hidden Acres. We can’t thank Erik & Jaclyn enough for their beautiful work, fair prices, flexibility, kindness, & patience. They provided experience that we didn’t even know we needed when working out our wedding timeline.
I am so grateful we went with O’Ryan Empire on our most important day!
I will never forget my wedding day, but should my memory ever go hazy, I know that I have the BEST images I could've ever dreamed of, of my special day, all thanks to O'Ryan Empire Photography. Not only were they punctual, professional and positive, they made me feel gorgeous and my camera-shy Hubby-to-be amazingly comfortable. Our wedding photos are some of the best I've ever seen and I'm so proud to have them for the rest of my life to look back fondly on. I have already booked my family photos with them for the Fall and I will continue to use them for all of my photo op needs. They are truly one-of-a-kind!
Erik and Jaclyn were the best to work with. Everyone's wedding day is special for them and Erik and Jaclyn understand that and remind you that it is YOUR day. From the inception consulting, meeting with them to discuss what styles and moods we were looking for since our ceremony would be religious but our reception was outdoor amidst natural beauty--and they knew just how to capture those moods for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Despite being a professional myself and combing through contract details, timelines etc., I was never apprehensive about hiring them as one of our main vendors. Very professional, beautiful work, even the USB they placed our photos on was stunning. Five star all the way.
Jaclyn and Erik were an incredible team! From the very beginning they helped us choose engagement session locations when we couldn't decide on a scenery that represented our story. They helped us modify our timeline to ensure that we had enough time to take the photos we truly cared about. They were very professional the entire wedding day, dressed all in black and had little radios to communicate with one another. You can see their passion in the way that they carry themselves and their work ethic is like none other. We are so happy with our decision to have them as our wedding photographers! Our wedding gallery came four weeks after our wedding and we were blown away by the details that they captured. They made our day come full circle and we are able to re-live it through their photographs, stress free. Thank you again Jaclyn & Erik for truly caring about giving us quality images that documented the wedding story that we envisioned.
A very professional but inviting duo! I had so much fun on my shoot with them! I felt glamorous, important, and at ease; AND they got so much beautiful material in such a small window of time! What more could a girl ask for!?! I would HIGHLY suggest them to anyone looking for photographers for their special day, or any other photo moment that needs captured!
First of all, our wedding and engagement photos are amazing. Finding quality photographers was my wife's #1 concern. We love our photos! Thank you for taking the time to listen and adapt shots we envisioned as well as having the experience and venue knowledge to know where the best lightning and scenes are.
Erik and Jaclyn from O'Ryan Empire came recommended from our venue's (Falkner Winery) coordinator. The coordinator stressed to us that any vendor of the recommend list comes with their 100% seal of approval.
Weddings are stressful and hiring people who you can trust to do their job and not add stress to the planning is very important. Erik and Jaclyn built that trust by being getting to know us during introductory phone calls, being flexible with shoot dates, and making the engagement session fun and relaxing. As the wedding day approached, Erik and Jaclyn called to verify the details of the wedding and by doing so we were confident we wouldn't have to worry about them on our big day. Having a 6 month engagement period, my wife and I worried that it would be difficult to find a photographer who could accommodate our busy schedule but O'Ryan Empire was very flexible even driving out to the Los Angeles Arboretum from Corona for our engagement session. My wife and I had never been part of a professional shoot and were incredibly nervous on the day of our engagement session. Erik and Jaclyn put as at ease by letting us be who we are, two lovebirds, while they navigated us to the best spots in the arboretum.
We are extremely happy with our engagement and wedding photos. The professional but fun attitude Erik and Jaclyn demonstrated meshed perfectly with our personalities. Thank you for doing a fantastic job and adding to the magic of our wedding day.
Jaclyn & Erik are amazing! True professionals from start to finish. They did our engagement and wedding photos. Made us and our families feel super comfortable....and the photos are gorgeous! Captured all the intimate shots so beautifully...looking through the pictures we can relive our day over and over again! If we ever need photographers in the future, it's a no-brainer to contact them!
Jaclyn and Erik were amazing and so easy to work with! We were so thrilled with our photos when we saw them! They captured every moment beautifully. It is hard enough planning a wedding but even harder when you have a destination wedding and have only spoken with someone over the phone. Even then they made it so easy and ever photo turned out amazing!
Jaclyn and Eric were AMAZING! They went above and beyond to make our day special and capture every moment so we have memories to cherish forever!
O'Ryan Empire Photography is top notch!! Not only are Erik and Jaclyn super talented but they are so fun to work with. My fiance and I were blown away with our engagement photos and how much fun we had during our session. I knew when we finished that session that we had picked the perfect pair to capture all the special moments on our wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding on May 5th...just wow!! Erik and Jaclyn just went above and beyond. They are so professional and organized. Their creativity is impeccable and they are just a pleasure to work with. Their are no words to explain how beautiful our photos turned out. We were so pleased. I would highly recommend O'Ryan Empire Photography.
I don't know that I can properly put into words how much I loved working with Erik and Jaclyn with O'Ryan Empire, but I'll try.
We reached out to them and a few other photographers in preparation for our wedding. We really appreciated that an in-person coffee meeting was how we got to get to know them. We clicked almost instantly. I found talking to Erik and Jaclyn really easy and fluid, and I could tell that they understand what we were going for.
Fast forward to our engagement session, I had so much fun with Erik and he did such a great job of capturing our relationship. There are so many pictures I have around our house now because I love it. From our poses with our 3DSs to our foreheads together, he really captured our love and helped us feel at ease.
We had a long time between our engagement session and our wedding and they kept in constant contact with us. They encouraged me to share the details we were finalizing as we did it, which was fun! They're excited to hear about your details because it helps them know what to focus on. We did a walkthrough of the venue the month before the wedding, and then the day of the wedding was absolutely amazing.
They had an assistant with them who was just as wonderful as they are. And their photo booth is awesome - I highly recommend it! I can't believe the quality of the photos that came out of our photo booth. The props were fun and our guests loved it.
They made me feel at ease throughout the wedding and captured amazing pictures. Some of their candid shots were almost magical. I also thought I didn't like pictures of details, but they proved me wrong :) There's this one shot of my husband's grandmother and I's hands clasped together that I absolutely adore and can't stop looking at.
All of this to say... they are worth every penny. The packages are amazing; the photo booth, the canvas photos, the albums. If you can afford it, do it. Hire them. They will help immortalize your special day :) I will definitely consider them for other life events!
Jaclyn and Erik were the photographers for my daughter’s wedding at Descanso Gardens. As a team, they are sensational. The engagement photos taken in the Angeles National Forest are breathtaking. At the wedding, it was spectacular how Jaclyn and Erik seemed to be everywhere, photographing every aspect of the wedding from the details, to the ceremony, reception, cake cutting and bubble grand exit! Jaclyn and Erik’s photos are creative and stunning. I would highly recommend O’Ryan Empire Photography to anyone having an event in the greater Los Angeles area.
Jaclyn and Erik are not only the most talented and adorable Photography duo in Southern California, they became a part of our family through the whole process. Jaclyn and Erik even brought a carrot for our bunny on our wedding day! They made us feel comfortable with their smiles, creativity and professionalism. We witnessed their passion for photography and we continue to be amazed by their talent. Thank you Jaclyn and Erik!
Eric, Jaclyn and their team were absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have been more please and ecstatic for our pictures. We had our engagement pics done as well and Eric and Jaclyn made us feel so comfortable. We will be going to them for all upcoming special moments/events. They truly love what they do and commit 110% to making your day and pictures perfect! I can’t say enough great things. Thank you for capturing our most special moments!
If I could give Jaclyn & Erik more than 5 stars I would. They were absolutely incredible to work with, and exceeded all expectations on my wedding day! The entire day I had guests coming up to me commenting on how great they were. My mother kept saying how Jaclyn was working every angle to get all the unique shots, and all of the groomsmen absolutely LOVED Erik! It seemed as if we were all good friends by the end of the night!
As a bride planning my own large wedding, I was really looking for vendors who were trustworthy, communicated well, and were reliable. From our first phone call, all the way through our wedding day, Jaclyn & Erik were so organized. We had multiple phone calls leading up to the big day to discuss which shots were important to us, and they truly listened. I can honestly say I am a "Type-A" personality who is overly critical, a super-planner with high standards, and I have only positive things to say about Jaclyn & Erik.
During my search for a photographer, I had also weighed having 2 photographers vs. 1. Originally I didn't really think 2 was necessary, but after our wedding day, it made a HUGE difference to have 2. There are always multiple things going on at a wedding, and you just get wider coverage of the event. Also, since our wedding was outside, Erik held up large screens to create the perfect lighting while Jaclyn captured the shot. A combined effort to get the best photos! Wouldn't get that with a single photographer.
I would highly recommend Jaclyn & Erik for your next event!
I have known Jaclyn for years and have witnessed her grow her photography skills into absolute perfection. And now she has gotten married herself and they became this powerhouse team. They know exactly what they are doing. They are quick with getting their shots, but we were never rushed. We felt so at ease and relaxed and that made it relaxing and FUN!! They are absolute professionals from the minute we booked with them to the finished products. They had exceltional communication throughout the planningz They know the right questions to ask to get everything organized perfectly. We also booked their photobooth and all of our guest were talking about it. It was a beautiful setup and the guest book I got from the pictures taken is something I will forever cherish. My absolute favorite thing about them was how they made us feel like they were excited to photograph us and our day. You can tell that they LOVE with a passion what they do and it shows 100%. Thank you so much Jake and Eric from the bottom of my heart. I could go on and on for days about how amazing you both are.
