Ron Kolias Studios

The whole process can, honestly, be overwhelming. After looking at hundreds of portraits online, I found Ron’s work and fell in love. I knew I wanted him to photograph my wedding. The process of working with Ron was seamless. We started with a phone conversation to see if what Ron offered corresponded with what we were looking for. It did! We then met with him in person to go over his packages more in-depth. He was super flexible with his schedule which my husband and I both really appreciated. All of Ron’s packages offer an engagement session, which I felt was truly invaluable. Not only for the beautiful photographs, but it gave us a chance to get know how Ron worked and we were able to learn how to work with him. It’s also great for couples, such as my husband and I, that aren’t used to being photographed. About a month before the wedding, Ron send’s an information packet for you to complete so he can collect information on things such as scheduling for the day of and what formal portraits you wish to be photographed. You’ll then discuss this with him. Again, a process that is incredibly important, as I couldn’t imagine things running as smoothly as they did on our wedding day without it. That brings us to the big day! From the moment Ron walks through the door, he is ready to go. He is a true professional that has the ability to take charge of a fairly chaotic situation all the while remaining courteous and friendly. As the bride, things can get fairly overwhelming on your wedding day, and Ron had a reassuring effect on me. He just gives of the sense of confidence and control all the while remaining calm in the midst of confusion. Him and Katie were amazing! They walked in knowing everyone’s names, who they were, and how they were related. They worked tirelessly for 8 hours, doing whatever was necessary to get the shot. My wedding portraits are incredible! I couldn’t have been happier with my decision of hiring Ron as our photographer. There are some decisions that you will make that you’ll second-guess after that fact. Not only did we not second-guess our decision of choosing Ron, between the amazing process of working with him and our incredible collection of photos, both my husband and I are confident it was one of the best decisions me made in the entire wedding planning process.

not pressure you into making a decision immediately, instead he told me about what services he offered and what style photography he portrays. Since we lived out of state, Ron made himself fully available via phone for any questions we may have had and offered to meet with us in person at his home studio before making decisions. When we met with Ron, he was funny, personable and professional. He was familiar with our venue and showed us photography from weddings he had done there. These photos were without a doubt the most amazing photos I have ever seen and just like that we had a photographer. We met Ron with our dog for engagement photos and he was wonderful to work with. Ron was attentive to detail, hilarious which eased the stress of feeling awkward and got our dog to actually look at the camera. Our engagement photos came out beautiful. Ron created a timeline for the day of the wedding and asked what were some things that were most important to us that day, as well as offering some suggestions to what we may want. I trusted him every step of the way and never doubted him. On our wedding day Ron and his assistant Jennifer set out for photos and since we got ready at two separate locations, which was very important to me, Ron made capturing the guys getting ready happen with ease by sending Jennifer to them. Ron was punctual, professional and had this way about him that made me feel completely stress free. Ron captured my entire day from start to finish and the pictures are so much more than I could have ever asked for. We received our wedding album and our pictures in a timely fashion and they are beyond stunning. I could not have been more thankful and happy to have had Ron capture one of the best days in my life and have the most stunning photos to look back on. Thank you!!

le. On our wedding day, Ron went above and beyond what he had already done for us. When the maid of honor was stuck in hair and makeup, he kept the flow going. He fluffed and held my dress train, pulled (first photographed) bridesmaids heels from A/C grates, offered breath mints, pinned boutonnieres on the guys, kept time and gave me regular updates, etc. I was BLOWN away. I felt like I had another best friend by my side. I never had to worry about the time! He knew everyone's name in my entire family and quickly formed bonds with my nieces and nephews. I can't say enough about Ron's professionalism, work ethic, talent, but most of all his personality. His ability to flawlessly handle capturing the special moments of the day and jumping in wherever needed on down time was amazing. Even after the wedding, printing photos for Mother's Day, meeting me to make sure they got to me on time.. helping us choose our album.. he's always still available to us. Ron was one of our first and best decisions we made. Our photos are beautiful!

sed with our custom photo box and thumb drive. All high quality! At the Wedding, Ron was there early and ready for us right on schedule. One of the most important things Ron will do is provide you and your bridal party very helpful tips on poses and positioning. He is not the type to just snap the photo and move on whether you looked your best or not. He puts obvious attention and work into every shot to help you shine and you will be soooo happy for this extra mile when you see his work. Later in the night he set up a gorgeous outside evening photo spread and countless creative shots with our rings that leveraged the venue's natural beauty. Did I mention his work is acclaimed by magazines and accolades? The guy is talented, humble and passionate. What more could you ask for in a photographer!? Me and my wife highly recommend him! Thank you again, Ron! (Sarah and Chris, April 2018)

He helped us battle through mosquitos, during our anniversary shoot, rain before and after our wedding ceremony, and every other obstacle that came his way while remaining professional throughout. He had a great ability to keep everyone positive and laughing throughout in order to capture countless amazing photos. If you are in the market, stop and check out his website and hope he is available for your day. He is the best!

. He knew how important pictures were to me and I had so many questions about our photo timeline and sunset pictures for our wedding day! He will always email you back and will set time aside to call you about any concerns you have! We booked him a year before we had our engagement pictures done and it was so worth the wait! Our harley photos came out STUNNING! He went above and beyond helping us throughout the planning process and he recommended a beautiful spot to take pictures at before our ceremony! He has such a great eye and everyone in our wedding party absolutely loved him!! They cannot stop raving about him and his photos! He is a people person and is great with everyone, including kids and dogs! He knew how to make my selfie hating husband at ease with getting his picture taken! Our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning! I had a huge list for Ron of photos I wanted and they all came out so beautiful! My photographer was the most important vendor to me on our wedding day and I HIGHLY recommend Ron Kolias Photography!! You will not be disappointed!

it was our turn to find a photographer for our wedding there was really no other choice! We only got married 2 weeks ago and have seen our sneak peek but I am already absolutely blown away and can't wait to see the rest! We have family that have said they plan to use Ron when they get married and we are constantly asked (over the past 2 weeks) if we have any more pictures to show from our photographer. I promise you will not be disappointed or have one regret going with Ron!!!

, highly skilled, terrific sense of humor, and all of our guests loved him. We were also lucky enough to have him do our engagement photos. He took the stress out of the process and made everything so much fun. We will use him for all our photo needs in the future, and will recommend him highly to all of our friends getting married. Absolutely perfect from start to finish.

f you are looking for a photographer that will make you feel comfortable with his fun, exuberant nature and someone that will capture very true, touching moments of your special day, we would STRONGLY recommend hiring Ron Kolias. Ron was extremely helpful to us throughout the planning process and days leading up to the event. He has also called us or emailed us to make sure we received items or to help is with ordering photos. He was so wonderful to work with on one of the most emotional and exciting days of our lives!! Our guests all had kind words to say about our photographers as well! We could not be any happier with our photos! The care and professionalism was remarkable!! Trust us when we say this... After all that goes into planning a wedding, after the magical moments have come and gone, you have your pictures to remind you of that special day for the rest of your lives... It's worth it.

to professionalism my husband looks for the type of service that sadly does not exist much any more. Ron exhibits this wonderful work ethic that proves he loves every single one of his customers and absolutely loves what he does. He passion for his profession is indescribable and something you cannot explain but must experience. I am extremely happy that we made Ron our wedding photographer!

I had made the right choice for the perfect person to photograph one the biggest days of our lives. When we chose Ron to photograph our wedding my husband was finishing school in Texas and was only able to visit infrequently, however Ron worked around our schedules to squeeze in our engagement photos. Ron made us feel very comfortable during our fall session by a beautiful lake (his recommendation) and was very quick to post sneak peaks (same day) and get all our photos to us so that we could use them on our save the dates and as part of our centerpieces for the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Ron regularly checked in to see how things were going and if I had any questions or concerns about absolutely anything (not just photography), which certainly speaks to the quality of person he is-ensuring his brides will be worry free on their big day. On the actual day of the wedding he showed up early to my parents house and began photographing without ever being in the way. Ron and his assistant then snagged some of the most beautiful candid photos during our first look and luckily for us it didn't stop there! Ron and his assistant continued snapping photos for the ceremony, formal pictures, and the reception staying until our wedding was over--way longer than the 8hrs he quoted in his contract! Everyone remarked about how amazing our photographer was running around constantly to get the perfect shots. And, when we shared our wedding photos and wedding blog with our family and friends they were amazed at how gorgeous they came out! We couldn't agree more :) We would highly recommend Ron to any soon-to-be bride! He exhibits great attention to detail in all his work, including the actual photographs, packaging for photographs and other photo-related gifts, and the super nice gift basket he sent us when we booked with him! Ron was not just a vendor for us, he really cared about our wedding, our lives (our story), all the details important to us, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted out of the day without having to worry about it! Thank you Ron for giving us lasting memories that we will cherish forever!

top notch! The day of the wedding he works tirelessly to capture every moment! I am a picture person and would recommend him wholeheartedly! My husband and I can't thank him enough for making our special day so memorable. The images he captured will allow us to relive the day for many years to come!

g a year ago. Not long after my sisters wedding, Andrew and I got engaged. There was no question who we were going to call for our wedding photography! Ron is incredibly personable and uses a great sense of humor to help you relax and feel comfortable while "posing" for pictures. After our wedding, Ron was prompt in posting a "sneak peak" of our pictures, and provided us with updates on the status of our full set of pictures. Ron offers a variety of packages and will also customize the package to suit your needs and price range. As part of our package, we got a DVD with all of our pictures but for some reason could not get the DVD to read on our computer. With no questions asked, Ron sent us replacement disks (yes, diskS!! He sent multiple copies incase another one did not work!!). We are now able to enjoy our pictures and they were most definitely worth the wait!! We will without a doubt continue to recommend Ron to our friends as they get engaged and hope to see him soon at one of their weddings :)

His a la cart menu of cost/packages is very reasonable and worth every penny. His photographs are absolutely incredible- he was able to capture every single emotion my husband and I, our family members, and guests all felt throughout the day and evening. I would highly recommend Ron to anyone and have already started referring others to him!

rsonable. Our photographs turned out gorgeous and there were so many of them.We couldn't have been happier. We already have friends asking for the contact info. because they saw how the photographer and his assistant were all over the place and didn't miss a beat!

My family and friends were very impressed by him and can't stop talking about how awesome our pictures and video came out! His assistant Peter was also very professional and did such a great job! Would highly recommend to everyone!!!

anning leading up to the big day. He doesn't just talk...he LISTENS! You will really feel like you know Ron even before meeting him. I cannot begin to describe how caring and easy to work with this photographer is. We were impressed upon seeing his online samples which are beautiful. So, after seeing the samples and then talking to Ron on the phone, we knew immediately that he was the photographer for us. Now, believe me when I say, we talked to a lot of other photographers. This was our only way of trying to pick the best since we live in the state of Florida and were getting married in the state of New Hampshire. We didn't know anyone to ask about references in this area. We knew our instincts were right even more so after flying up to New Hampshire and meeting Ron. On the day of our wedding, there were no worries about the photography. Anyway, I don't know how much more I can say, the proof is in the photos! We were married on September 4th, 2010, I didn't want too much time to go by before I do my part to let you all know about Ron. I used the web so much in my planning and know it can be a Godsend, especially for those planning destination weddings! So I highly recommend this caring and wonderfully talented photographer. Ron Kolias Photography is the best!

your photos, you receive a disk with all of your photos, he even called the day before and calmed my nerves about the rain!
