Drew was one of the best parts of the entire day. He was professional, seamlessly blended into the background while also somehow always being present and available. He captured things I never would have asked for that became some of my favorite photos.
Drew was communicative both by being responsive and proactive. He set very reasonable and clear expectations so we knew exactly what was needed from us without ever having to guess. Most of all Drew let us exist purely in the moment because we trusted he was capturing the important moments we’d want to relive over and over. Drew made us want to get married all over again!

Drew was an absolute dream to work with. He has such an upbeat, positive energy, that helps sooth any “big day” jitters. He was diligent about sticking to a timeline that kept the whole day running extra smooth.
Drew has an exceptional eye for capturing an artistic shot. My husband and I were very impressed by how effortless and candid our pictures came out, especially when the day is moving by so quickly.
We will definitely be using Drew for our future family photos!

Drew is a WONDERFUL event photographer. From the planning stages, he was extremely communicative, available and positive. He went the extra mile to get to know us, our coordinator and the venue including scouting the venue when we weren’t even available to join. The day of the wedding he was organized but flexible. Our wedding party and guests remarked about how great their experience was with Drew. And the RESULTS!!! We feel like our day was captured so beautiful! The photos are both modern and timeless. The entire process was so personal and caring. He has such a gift for this and we feel extremely lucky to have found him! Highly recommend, we cannot say enough good things about him.

I can't express enough how utterly thrilled my husband and I are with the exceptional service and talent provided by Drew at our December wedding. From the moment we first met, Drew's warmth and professionalism were evident, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable experience. Drew even brought Krispy Kreme donuts to our engagement shoot as a sweet personal touch!
Drew possesses an extraordinary gift for capturing moments that transcend mere photographs; they encapsulate emotions, stories, and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Drew captured posed photos and candid photos that were beautifully edited in both color and black and white. Drew's ability to blend seamlessly into the background while still managing to capture every significant moment astounded us. It felt as though Drew was an integral part of our celebration, not just a hired vendor.
What truly sets Drew apart is Drew's genuine passion. It's evident in every shot and every angle. Drew has a keen eye for detail and composition, effortlessly transforming ordinary scenes into extraordinary works of art. The final images we received were nothing short of breathtaking, each one telling a unique story of our special day.
Beyond undeniable talent, Drew also possesses an incredible knack for making everyone feel at ease. Drew has such a friendly demeanor and easygoing nature that helped to alleviate any nerves or tension, allowing us and our guests to relax and enjoy the moment fully. Drew managed to capture the true essence of our love and joy, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Drew also exhibited the utmost professionalism throughout the entire process. Drew was prompt in communication, attentive to our needs and preferences, and seamlessly coordinated with other vendors to ensure a smooth and seamless experience. Additionally, Drew was able to go with the flow when our wedding timeline drifted from the planned shots once we began dancing and eating with our guests. Drew was even out on the dance floor dancing with our guests and snapping photos!
We wholeheartedly recommend Drew to anyone in search of a wedding photographer who not only possesses exceptional talent but also genuinely cares about their clients. Drew's passion, professionalism, and unparalleled skill make him an absolute gem in the world of wedding photography. Thank you, Drew, for beautifully capturing the magic of our special day!

Drew and Chris waste absolutely amazing and beautiful people who helped make our engagement photos and day and our wedding photos and day of the wedding was something memorable and unforgettable. They truly go above and beyond their job duties. They took control of everything and put together a schedule, were timely and orderly, gave us details and a plan, but I think most importantly they were able to be flexible and think on the go and in the moment to make sure everything went smoothly. They always had a plan and took into consideration everything as far as weather, sun, time of day, location, I mean just everything and had a plan to make it have the best outcome imaginable with the photos and moments they captured. They truly the best human beings you could ever hope to have and I know my wife and I have made life long friends from hiring them. They will always be in our lives and their beautiful work captured every single moment of our engagement and wedding night and I will be forever grateful. I would and actively do recommend them to everyone and every person, friend, and family member who looks for someone to capture memories and take photos because the work they do is breathtakingly beautiful. I love them and give them 100/10 rating for the entire experience.

So it all started one day when my fiancé and I decided to randomly go onto the knot to randomly pick our photographer for our wedding that was happening soon after the engagement. Needless to say little did we know the beautiful miracle that were about to present themselves to us that would change everything for the better about our engagement photos and our overall wedding and lives. Drew and Christopher have been the enormous weight lifted off of our shoulders and the breath of optimistic fresh air that made our whole engagement and wedding experience something we never knew we not just wanted, but absolutely NEEDED! As newlyweds, we had many many fears and worries about what we wanted and what we expected on our wedding day and once we got to know these two extraordinary men, all of those worries just disappeared, and we knew we were in the best hands. They went over and above to make sure our specific needs were met no matter what the situation was, even if that meant they had to adapt to (many) last minute changes and in addition they always brought a beautiful bright positive energy along with it.
My husband and I are not the best at making plans or organizing events
But again here came drew and Chris with a whole outline of our whole wedding and photography outline to immediately once again put us at ease!
Not only are they amazing people but his amazing photography and his beautiful eye for knowing exactly what and where he wants to create magic and his ability to do it anywhere is incredible. I don’t think I’d ever really known what loving a photograph truly felt like until I saw what these men were capable of. And having that be the foundation of our day made our day that much more special!
Lastly when we thought we couldn’t be any happier. They decide to invite us over for Sunday dinner. And surprised us not only with a beautifully Framed photo of us on our wedding day, but dropped the most unexpected exciting news that our wedding photos were done and we went through all of them together!
It’s the little thoughtful details that make us understand how grateful we are for them going over and above for us since day one.
Little did we know the day we hired him was also the the beginning of not just a professional relationship but one of the most epic friendships too!
We love you guys so much and seriously couldn’t imagine what our day would have been without you.
To all the people that see this review, you know what you need to do. So get on it and make the best decision possible like we did. You won’t regret it🩷

Drew and his crew provided absolutely amazing engagement and wedding day photos. He provided a stress - free day so the bride and groom could focus on enjoying their big day rather than worrying about capturing the moment. The pictures turned out amazing and are all that I could ask for. Will definitely be asking Drew to take more photos again in the future!

Drew was the second shooter for our wedding and he was AMAZING!!!!! Drew made me feel like a friend right away and it made the whole day so easy and effortless! He is so personable and went right along with our (my husband’s) shenanigan requests without even thinking twice. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better for our special day!!

I hired Drew for my Bachelorette Party and Engagement photo shoot. Working with Drew, was not only easy, but it was so much fun!! My hubby is not comfortable in front of the camera, so Drew worked with that, and made my hubby comfortable, and at ease, and got some really great photos, despite the fact my hubby was making funny faces at times. Lol!
We chose a versatile area, The Oceanside Harbor, where we could get a variety of shots within a close proximity. I suggested a shot I particularly wanted, in front of the Oceanside sign, and Drew knocked it out of the park. In fact, Visit Oceanside might just publish it in an upcoming magazine.
Drew knows his angles, suggests poses that don’t necessarily look staged, but more natural. But then when you get your photos back, you realize there was a process and you won’t be disappointed. Drew is not only a photographer, but a true artist.
I had a destination wedding, otherwise Drew would have definitely been my wedding photographer. I highly recommend Drew for any event or to document your special occasion. You won’t be disappointed.

Drew Ramsey Photography was just what out wedding needed for media. Honestly. He worked with us through a very fast pre wedding schedule and came and shot amazing footage(Photo and video). The comfort and fun he brought to my guests added to the wedding and added a great atmosphere to our night. The post product was timely and given in a beautiful presentation. If you want a creative, fun, professional media team for your wedding, get them.
