We hired Ryan as our photographer for our wedding in New Orleans and he did a wonderful job. We came in from out of town to get married in Jackson Square and Ryan came recommended ...
by our officiant. He took TONS of photos and captured moments from our ceremony, second line parade (lots of great action shots!) and reception. He also took great posed shots of us with our family and bridal party as well. His services were very reasonably priced and he provided great photos and was very pleasant and easy to work with leading up to the wedding and the day of. I'd definitely recommend him to others for their weddings or events.
Ryan was professional, talented, and very easy to work with. He took amazing wedding photos! I booked him because I love candid action shots and he not only those captured hilari...
ous and fun moments (for example, my dad "dropping it low" with a crowd gathered around him), he also captured sweet, emotional moments. The lighting and colors in the photos are stunning and I have received tons of compliments on them. Ryan is awesome, hands down!
Ryan was the absolute best choice for shooting our wedding! He was very easy to work with. We emailed several times before the wedding and talked on the phone a couple times as wel...
l. He answered all of my questions and listened to all my priorities for the day of. Ryan truly captured the best candid shots throughout the whole wedding day which is exactly what we wanted. He did a great job of capturing the best moments of our night without even knowing he was around! We could not recommend Ryan enough to photograph your wedding!! Thanks so much, Ryan!
Ryan was absolutely amazing! During the planning phase, he was very easy to communicate with and made sure that he knew exactly what we wanted for our big day. I was a little intim...
idated about having only one shooter, but Ryan didn't miss a single moment. We are absolutely in love with our pictures, and I wouldn't change a single thing about them. Ryan was such a pleasure to work with, and I will always give him a glowing recommendation!
Ryan was fantastic. He was probably the vendor that I worried about least during the whole process and on the day itself. He did not only our engagement shoot but a full 10 hours o...
n the big day (which also happened to be his birthday), and hired a second shooter as well for a portion of the day. We've been absolutely thrilled with the quality of the photos--his unique talent for capturing fleeting moments is something really special. In a sea of overexposed, sterile, cookie cutter wedding photos, his organic style stands out and tells a story.
Not only is he a talented photographer, but he is professional, communicative, and highly conscientious about his work. I don't think he sat down or took a break the entire wedding day and he provided us with SO many photos. The hardest part about the whole process was narrowing down which photos to put into an album, because there were so many amazing choices! On top of all that, he's also a kind and thoughtful person. Can't recommend him enough.
The photographs that Ryan made we will cherish for out entire life. He was most pleasant and right there for any need or idea I had. This was a destination wedding and he made th...
e ease of planning from a far much better. Highly recommended!
We loved the images Ryan made of our wedding. His unique use of light beautifully captured every moment, every detail and every emotion. We relive our most special day every time w...
e see our pictures.
Thank you, Ryan, for preserving our wedding so wonderfully and with your signature style!
I came to know Ryan's work when we were both volunteering as photographers at WWOZ. It was immediately apparent to me that his work was on another level than my own, so naturally t...
hat's the sort of person I wanted to shoot my wedding. We were so sure about this decision, he was actually the first solid confirmation we had in our wedding planning process.
Ryan is a wizard with his flash. It's never overwhelming and makes the pictures come alive. We weren't looking for a sparkly cheeseball wedding photographer with staged photos (though the group pictures we did came out great). We liked Ryan because we saw a lot of candids in his albums, and he really delivered on that front. He was available when you need him (it helps that he's tall!) but unobtrusive when you're in a moment while still managing to get the shot. We had an amazingly fun wedding, and I really feel like he captured all of it. We had so many amazing pictures available to us that it was excruciating cutting them down to a facebook-digestible amount. And I can't imagine how many didn't make the cut!
Ryan was also super easy to work with, making himself available for a meeting whenever we wanted to iron things out. As a photographer, I had a number of ideas about how I wanted the photos delivered, and he was extremely accommodating.
Basically, hiring Ryan for the job was a slam-dunk
Ryan did an absolutely wonderful job as our wedding photographer!! We have beautiful photos that we just love and he was so easy to work with from the start. With our ceremony begi...
nning at sunset, we knew our venue would be somewhat dark for photos, so we were looking for someone that had great photos in low light conditions. Ryan's portfolio featured a lot of this and his photos from our wedding did not disappoint. They are truly stunning and captured the evening perfectly! He blended in seamlessly everywhere. He even managed to sneak in for a few shots at just the perfect moment, when I didn't even know he was nearby.
As for turn around time, he had shot at a multi-day music festival the week before our wedding and still managed to get our photos back to us very quickly. He continually kept us notified about his progress and made sure we knew when new photos were posted to our site. When he was completely finished with processing and editing we received all of our photos at once through a dropbox link, which was super easy.
We were so happy we chose Ryan for our wedding!
We could not be happier with our experience with Ryan for our wedding photography! He was so wonderful to work with, and was both accommodating to our suggestions and wants and use...
d his own creative style to capture beautiful pictures we wouldn't have dreamed of! He is certainly an artist at his craft and is highly skilled - our pictures were downright gorgeous. He had a way of seeing and using really unique lighting and backgrounds and making the colors (and smiles) really pop. We loved how he captured the joy of the day: people dancing and laughing, and small special moments between my husband and I throughout the day. We absolutely recommend him for his truly remarkable work!
We sought out Ryan because of many recommendations but also due to his knack for catching great action shots. Our wedding and reception were action packed. Ryan and his crew killed...
it. Great use of lighting and an ability to be many places at once it seemed. I never really realized he was there so he certainly was never in the way. He was very kind and accommodating to myself, my bride and our guests. Ryan is always smiling and happy to be doing what he loves to do. I highly recommend Ryan for his photography services but especially as a perfect wedding photographer. Thanks Ryan! =W= and Beth

h the important moments of the ceremony. Not only does Ryan take amazing photos, but his presence as a photographer is both gentle and professional. At our wedding, Ryan set up a rustic photo-booth and the product was incredible. I would highly recommend Ryan's photography to capture any wedding in a unique, beautiful and artistic fashion.
Our wedding pictures were beautiful! Ryan has a great artistic eye. Our photos had beautiful dramatic lighting and were not the standard "cookie cutter" shots. He is also very prof...

t to resond to emails, his pictures were awesome, & he had the pictures ready very soon after each event. Ryan was so nice and "go with the flow" and he was extremely comfortable to work with. He was quick to please me with any of my random requests, and captured everything I asked of him and more. I would HIGHLY recommend RHR Wedding Photography to anyone that is looking for a photographer for any event.
