About this vendor
Wedding photographer in Temecula, California that some people would describe as a mix between Channing Tatum and a honey badger, pound-for-pound one of the most ferocious animals on the planet. I enjoy writing sweet poetic love songs on my banjo for my lady, walking my dogs Sinatra & Lucy, sculpting my guns at the gymnasium (I’m not sure if you heard me counting, but I did over 1,000) and of course photographing weddings throughout Temecula wine country, San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. I’m pretty darn lucky to do what I love, and I only hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Where do I start? Ryan captured the energy and the love of our wedding SO perfectly. My husband and I just watched the slideshow of photos in complete awe.
We want to say thank you for capturing meaningful and precious moments and editing them so beautifully. I know the lighting was an issue, but you would have no idea by looking at these pics! We are so excited and proud to share these with everyone.
Thank you again, and we are so glad you could share the evening with us. ❤️
On taking our first peek through the pictures, Ryan had captured the day PERFECTLY. The pictures are amazing, we had some more tears reliving the day.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou, they are all that we could have wished for.
Ryan was amazing, fun to be around, wasn’t intrusive and truly captured our special day!
My now wife came across Ryan's website when searching for a quality photographer for our elopement photos in Joshua Tree, and with us both having a design background, we really liked Ryan's style.
What he delivered made our jaws fall to the floor. His photos are the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen, and we are forever greatful for what Ryan did for us. He was hilarious, made us feel comfortable, and he has an eye for photographer that is special.
Use Ryan. He is worth every penny, and you will not regret it. I promise.
With many options in the Palm Springs area for a photographer, it can get quite overwhelming. However, after seeing pictures taken by Ryan, we fell in love with the style and vibes of the photos and reached out. Friendly, informative and professional are understatements - Ryan exceeded all expectations and answered any questions we had. When we met Ryan on the day off our elopement, he handled everything with a smile and his energy really put us at ease and made the day even better. He knew exactly where to go, what to do and took the lead with the shoot. We loved the pace and how comfortable he made us feel during it all. He really goes beyond just being a photographer and really feels like a long-time friend that just happens to take kickass photos. In the end, we were MORE THAN THRILLED WITH THE PHOTOS! We never looked (or probably will) better and he really captured some amazing moments. There is no doubt, Ryan will make any shoot the absolute best and I cannot recommend him enough! Thanks Ryan!!!! - John&Ryan
To start off, my now husband and I are EXTREMELY happy with Ryan's work and overall professionalism for our elopement in Joshua Tree. Neither of us are picture people so we were nervous about the shoot, but knew we really wanted to document our special time. However, Ryan immediately made us feel very comfortable and at-ease during the process from start to finish and the photos of our elopement turned out more beautiful than we anticipated!
First, the initial conversation with Ryan was a breeze. I told him the details about the wedding and how awkward my husband and I may be for the shoot, but he ensured that everything will work out. Then, come wedding day we were immediately taken aback by the ease of the session once the ceremony began! It didn't even feel like he was taking photos because of how stealthy and quiet he was so it definitely felt very intimate between my husband and I.
After the ceremony, we went into full photoshoot mode but had SUCH a blast! Ryan's pace from picture to picture was perfect - we didn't have time to feel awkward or get nervous. He definitely knew what he was doing and kept it going from one rock formation to another. He would show us a few shots on his camera too to ensure that was what we wanted, but everything he took captured our vision anyway so he kept going and moving and always found a great spot for us to go to next and kept us laughing and smiling throughout.
Once we received the pictures (dude was QUICK in sending them out), we were astonished with them. They were sharp, colors were beautiful, locations were perfect, etc. My husband and I couldn't stop looking at them!
Let me just say, if you're looking for photographers especially for Joshua Tree or the Palm Springs area, LOOK NO FURTHER AND BOOK RYAN - seriously. Very friendly, professional, and knew how to make us feel comfortable. I can't thank you enough, Ryan!!
Very happy with Ryan! We planned a New Year's eve elopement in Palm Springs (we're from Portland, OR). Formality is not our thing — and Ryan nailed it, capturing the spontaneity and relaxed happy smiles of everything we were feeling in that moment. He even suggested some local spots that embody the Palm Springs spirit, which also happen to play to his strengths of finding those honest moments. His portfolio gives you a good sense of his style as well the care he puts into post-processing to give his photos style and mood. Thank you Ryan! We owe you a big debt of gratitude for being our witness, too!
We are from NYC and wanted to take couple photos in Palm Springs. Ryan is SO excellent. He made the entire shoot so easy and fun; no awkward moments or figuring out how to pose. Our pictures are so fun and will be cherished forever. I cannot recommend him enough!
Ryan is a champion! He rose up to the challenge and came through last minute with all of his professionalism, talent, and generosity as an artist and person. I will always appreciate what you gave to us, Ryan! You brought your smile with you upon arrival, and captured all of ours during the course of our courthouse wedding. We were blown away at the pictures! What you did with a bush and a beautiful couple! LOL! Your turn around time in getting us a sneak peak surprised me and surpassed my expectation. One of your pics is my phone wallpaper now. I smile everytime I grab my phone!
Ryan is so generous and TALENTED!! I can’t express how much I love our elopement photos. We planned everything within 2 weeks and at only the day before, the person taking our photos cancelled... But that’s okay because luckily we found his website and he was so willing and KIND!! He’s very creative, professional, hard working, and catches intimate moments with your loved one. The photos came out so much better than I could have ever imagined!! If he can make a courthouse view look amazing, what can’t he do. I’m sure he’ll surpass your expectations as well. Highly recommend!!! BOOK HIM
Amazing From Beginning to end! responded efficiently and excellent customer service when contacting for elopement wedding photograph services. Flexible with time and location. And the the final product came out GREAT! Very much Worth it, memories are forever lasting!
Ryan Horban was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. We highly recommend him. Our photos were both touching and beautiful. However, it was nine months later that his exceptional character and professionalism really shined through for my husband and I. We were trying to make prints for Christmas presents and the photos came out blurry. We must have mistakingly downloaded web-sized images and not the high-resolution originals. Ryan took his time to exchange emails with us. He dug through his archives to find our wedding photos and re-uploaded the images. Our wedding pictures were saved! Thank you, Ryan!!
