Ryan Clark
Owner
With over 20 years of experience, I bring a unique perspective to wedding photography, blending my roots in film photography with the latest digital techniques. Starting with developing negatives and printmaking in my self-built darkroom, I’ve evolved with the digital age, mastering image manipulation in Photoshop. Though mostly self-taught, I have always considered myself a lifelong student of the art. My training at the Visual Arts Center in Portsmouth, VA, and five years at Lifetouch National School Studios have allowed me to perfect my skills in portrait, sports, and group photography. I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless weddings, and each one is a joy and honor to document. If you're looking for a photographer who combines technical skill with a passion for storytelling, I’d love to work with you on your special day.

I decided to book Ryan for my December elopement. Ryan was able to accommodate me even though I booked in December. I wasn’t expecting him to accept since it was kind of short notice. The photos for my elopement turned out amazing and the pricing was reasonable too. Ryan was easy to work and showed up early to the venue. He managed to capture lovely photos despite it being extremely cold outside. It didn’t take long to get my photos from the usb drive. I highly recommend booking him as your photographer.

I booked Ryan for my wedding in May 2025 and he was so helpful. Although ultimately I went with a family member for my photography he was so accommodating and pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He is the definition of flexible and so personal that I just knew I would have been so comfortable with him on my wedding day. Book him now!!

At the last minute I decided I needed a different photographer separate from our videographer and team I went to the knot and found several options and many available on my wedding date because it was a Thursday but Ryan was quick to reply and when I meet with him I knew he would be the best fit for us and I was not wrong.
Ryan did an AMAZING job and was just so prompt and professional not to mention personable. After my wedding he delivered my edited photos in a the timeframe promised and they were stunning!!
Book with Ryan you won’t regret it!!!

Ryan was recommended to us by our awesome wedding planners Adam and Emma. I give Ryan 5⭐️ across the board for value, quality, professionalism, and ability to work with his clients. Ryan met with me in person at cafe in town center to get to know me and what my wife and I wanted for our wedding photos. He was flexible with our ideas and was even willing to do our first look photos as well. Ryan also worked well with the wedding coordinator of the church where our wedding was especially since they had quite a bit of restrictions. Ryan arrived to the first look location and wedding venues early and was prepared and ready to go. I’m a photographer myself along with one of my groomsmen and he was open to our suggestions and feedback. Ryan was a pleasure to work with.
After the wedding he got our photos uploaded to a website promptly and my wife and I were able to send the pictures to our loved ones promptly. Everyone including my wife and I love the photos and I get compliments on them frequently. The website with our photos did expire after a few months but he said he’s going to send me a usb drive with all of the photos uploaded on it. My wife and I planned our wedding in 3 months so we needed a photographer who was available, affordable, and awesome. Ryan was that and then some! I would definitely hire him again.

First of all, I'm thrilled that you liked your photos!
Now, where do I begin? Cap...
turing moments with you, Myra, and both your families and friends was an absolute pleasure. The faith you share in each other is evident in the emotional photos I captured that day. This realization was not only apparent in the moment but became even more profound when I delved into the digital darkroom. As you know, being a fellow photographer, we live vicariously through our camera lens on the scene, only to relive those moments while editing the experiences we witness.You two have a great future ahead of you, I'm so glad that I got to know you and had the pleasure be a part of your wedding. Your USBs are on the way!By the way, Emma & Adam (https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/e-a-wedding-planners/b4d4e2777d08f36b.html) recommended me to you, and I appreciate it immensely. They are the best wedding planners I've ever worked with, going above and beyond expectations. Not to digress, but during our first collaboration, Adam noticed I was sweating while taking photos and promptly handed me a handkerchief for my brow. At your wedding, Emma seamlessly coordinated everything, even when I left a lens I needed in the sanctuary, giving me more time. This is the lasting impression these two leave on everyone at the weddings they plan. They are there for everyone, including other vendors.Once again, I'm delighted we crossed paths, and I had the chance to capture one of the most special days of your lives!

Amazing! Ryan was the sweetest!
Ryan was a great photographer. I am from Philadelphia and we traveled to Virginia Beach to get married. I went based off of other reviews when looking to hire a photographer. I came across Ryan’s page and decided to go with him. I’m happy I did! Ryan listened and worked with me and my bridal party as planned. He took all the photos we wanted him to. He made me feel and look beautiful on my special day. He captured the best memories that I’ll never forget. He was very sweet, reasonable and down to earth. I would definitely recommend him as your photographer for any occasion! If I was a local, I would use him for all my photography needs.

We highly recommend Ryan! His photos are excellent quality and he took his time with us while working with the venue's time frame. He found several great areas for the photo shoot and helped my husband and I with posing suggestions which was great because neither of us had ever had professional photos like this before. He also got all our family groups together for photos during the wedding. We also did engagement photos too but my husband and I where unable to do this before the wedding due to illness. Ryan worked with us to reschedule this which we decided to do in the fall and he recommended a beautiful park and let us know when the leaves changed colors. He made the photo shoot very fun and they came out great! He stayed in contact before and after each of the sessions and made sure we were happy with the results and made sure we received the flash drives of the photos. Thank you Ryan for all your help and patience!

Working with Ryan was a very simple and friendly expirence. From meeting him to discuss pricing and even after the day of the wedding. He is extremely personable, easy to get a hold of, and overall an easy going guy. His demeanor is just one part of his work. After the wedding he stayed in contact and took nearly 600 beautiful photos. We got a flash drive in the mail along with a link to preview. His editing made the photos shine and he captured every part of the day I could have asked for. This was all in his lowest package! Im thoroughly impressed and can't help but wonder what his other packages could hold. I strongly recommend Ryan Clark Photography.

I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan to any couple planning a wedding! My husband and I wanted to hire a photographer who would get along with our wedding party and add to the fun of the day. We had a great time while taking our wedding photos and it really showed in the pictures. Wedding guests told us afterward that our photographer was "THE BEST!" We were so glad we had chosen a photographer who helped us enjoy the day while taking remarkably beautiful pictures. "VOGUE COVER" was the refrain when everyone saw the stunning photos. Hope Ryan is still taking photos when our kids get married, because we'll hire him again!

Our photos were awesome! I'm so glad that I hired Ryan to photograph our wedding. He went above and beyond anything that I expected. He was personable, punctual, and easy going.
The results that he produced in a short amount of time during the cocktail hour were out of this world and still baffles me how he pulled it off. I mean, this guy was actually laying on the ground for some of the photos! My husband and I couldn't be happier.
Hire him, you will not be disappointed.

If you haven’t hired Ryan as a photographer yet then what the heck are you waiting for!?! Our wedding photos came out better than I could ever imagine! Not to mention, he didn’t skip a beat when it came to capturing the most hilarious moments of the reception. Ryan is very kind and the man has the patience of a saint! Don’t believe me? Hire him and see it for yourself! You will not regret it.
P.S.
Ryan’s photography pricing is so reasonable & easily affordable! And he returns calls and texts pretty quick which makes planning things out a million times easier.

Hired Ryan for our wedding, he was personable, professional and took amazing pictures. Provided them on line and via flash drive. The wedding/reception pictures caught virtually every moment and he provided over 3 hrs of moments! He was not intrusive or disrupted the ceremony or reception, we hardly knew he was there but yet he captured so many memories. We had initially not planned on doing engagement photos, changed our mind later and Ryan accommodated and was great in providing ideas and different angles for those. At the wedding he even stayed past the initial time to ensure he captured everything. In addition to the great pictures Ryan was just awesome to work with as well. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very communicative and took great pictures. We were not practiced in all the poses and best picture layouts, which he helped with greatly! Due to covid our event wasn't the same length of time as a normal wedding/reception so he worked with us on the price where other photographers wouldn't. Overall it was a great experience and we will think of him for future photography we need!

On the day of our ceremony, he was there early, canvassed the venue for spots to take the best pictures, and interacted with the guess attending. He captured the best pictures at the right moment that I will forever be grateful for. I will definitely use him again in the near future and recommend anyone to utilize his service. Thanks Ryan for making this occasion one to remember for a lifetime.”

We truly are so grateful for your time and dedication to us. Our wedding wasn’t very traditional, more of a big family party with a wedding thrown in, and our pictures captured every single moment, and we are forever grateful.

“Working with Ryan was a fabulous experience. We were going for simple as this wasn’t our first marriage but wanted to have professional memories. Ryan was willing to try and capture the many ideas we had and even those we came up with last minute. His patience in getting everyone in the large group, and even the smaller family groups at their best was great, even when making our Aunt come back for a second take because she didn’t look her best in the first take. Ryan captured so many wonderful moments from the ceremony and after, for us to look back at with fondness always. I highly recommend Ryan as a photographer for any event, but especially for weddings.”

Ryan Clark is the best! I had my dream wedding and Ryan took the most breathtaking photos to capture our special day.
From our first consultation with Ryan, my new husband and I found Ryan to be personable, tremendously professional, knowledgeable, exceedingly accommodating and always accessible. Ryan not only suggested the type of shots he would take; he also provided helpful suggestions and tips. In addition, Ryan asked for our input by sending him examples of the shots that we wanted to capture, and he ensured that our personal preferences were met. Ryan arrived early, he worked non-stop, and captured every moment from getting ready and up until the departure of our last guests. Ryan even scoped out the wedding venue and the historic garden club to determine the locations for the best shots. Ryan’s passion for photography is evident in his attention to detail. His talent is exceptional and every photo is incredible. Ryan exceeded our expectations. Ryan is a photographic ninja!
Ryan is artistic, creative, and thorough. His portraits captured the pure essence of the celebration of love and happiness during our wedding. Because of the stunning pictures, my husband and I are able to experience our wedding from beginning to end. Ryan took some pictures that we did not even image that he had captured. The close up shots of every detail of our wedding (flowers, our sand ceremony, our rings, guests, guest table decorations, cake table, sweetheart table, our interaction with guests, reception party time, even our guest gift bags) are amazing. And Ryan did this all while remaining unnoticed, and without taking a break. The pictures convey our wedding story. The wedding album that we create will be awesome; we want every picture! Ryan went above and beyond our expectations. We consider Ryan as a newfound friend. Thank you Ryan for your hard work, a fabulous experience, for creating beautiful memories and for helping to make our wedding day special.

Ryan was an amazing Photographer! He was very personable and went over everything from the beginning and provided great answers to all of our questions. As the big day approached, he gave us the space we needed to tie up the loose ends and make sure all of the preparations were in place and also made us very comfortable with his approach and planning. During our Wedding day he showed up early and made us feel at ease by taking charge and snapping all of the right moments and capturing all of the things we wanted. I highly recommend him to shoot your wedding, he is really great to work with!!

What can I say... the photographer (Ryan) that came out to our most special of days did a fantastic job and caught every moment. We highly recommend this company. He was very professional and articulate, especially the poses he made us do lol! It was fun. 5 stars. And we will be using him at our next function. Thank you Ryan!!!!

You won't find a better photographer anywhere. Ryan pays close attention to detail and doesn't rush through anything. His images are absolute perfection. Ryan is a true artist and has incredible talent. He captures moments you don't even realize ever happened until you see them in his amazing photos. I have used Clark Photography for many of my most important moments and Ryan's photos are some of my most treasured pieces.

If you want your pictures to reflect the beautiful memories of your special day; Clark Photography is the only photographer I would recommend. He has an eye for detail and captures photos that tell a story. I just cannot say enough about how easy the owner Ryan, is to work with; he brings a calmness to what could be very stressful. Truly amazing how he captured moments we didn’t even see except through his pictures. The pictures are of the highest quality; the difficulty comes when you have to narrow them down ( you will want all of them). You want a five star photographer, Clark Photography is your answer.

Ryan is awesome, not only is he passionate about photography his main priority is the client. He did everything that we asked and more, he considers your ideas and what you want. I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married. Photo quality is awesome and he is kind and pleasant to work with. Everyone was impressed with him and his quality of work. I would also recommend getting the photo booth our guests loved it.

The photos Ryan took at our ceremony were amazing, he was very patient taking large group and many smaller family pictures. He had a great eye when we went to the beach for bride & groom pictures, and worked with some of my crazy ideas and made them work, all of our photos turned out amazing. Ryan is an easy, fun, patient and professional photographer, very easy to work with. I highly recommend him if your looking for a professional photographer that will do out of the ordinary photos.

Ryan is absolutely fantastic, and I wish I could give him 10 stars! His attention to detail is out of this world. I would highly recommend him, and in fact we have used him as our photographer for other milestones in our lives besides our wedding! I look back at all of our pictures and just smile :) All thanks to Ryan!

Our photos are out of this world beautiful! We sent the photos out to friends and family, and everyone is raving about how good they are. I loved our wedding, and Ryan captured it all. There are great pictures of us, our wedding party, family, and friends. Some pictures are posed, and some are just candid and captured perfectly. Rayn was so easy and fun to work with too. Our guests also mentioned the photographer Ryan and how cool he was too. We are so happy we chose Clark Photography, definitely worth it. Thank you Ryan. You helped us freeze some memories so we can reflect on them forever. We are so grateful for the pictures. Thank you!

You want him to shoot your wedding! He captures the moments you want to remember. Definitely a professional. His prices were better than the other photographer we had there also. We should just had Mr. Clark do the whole wedding. His work is above the rest no doubt. Just look at some of his pictures it says it all. He made my wife and I very happy and we will use him again and highly recommend him to anyone.
