The journey of a lifetime starts with just two words: "I do." And from that moment on, it's a rollercoaster ride of love, laughter, and probably a few arguments about whose turn it is to do the dishes. But fear not, dear couples, because amidst all the chaos of wedding planning, there's one thing you can count on: Ryan Richardson Photography.
For more than a decade, couples have been turning to Ryan Richardson Photography to tell their love stories with timeless, documentary-inspired photography. Think of me as your wedding day paparazzi, but with less hiding in bushes and more capturing your good side (trust me, you both have plenty of those). Whether you're exchanging vows in a quaint countryside barn or saying "I do" under the city lights, I'll be there to freeze those moments in time, so you can relive them again and again.
Now, you might be thinking, "But Ryan, there are a million wedding photographers out there. What sets you apart?" It's not just that I'm bright and clever and fun to be around, it's all about experience. I try to make your wedding day feel easy and effortless (at least from a photography standpoint) right up until it's time for you to step out for portraits, and then you'll get the star experience. I'll coach you through those awkward "do we smile or do we look deeply into each other's eyes" moments, and before you know it, you'll be striking poses like you're on the cover of Vogue (and deleting the pictures where someone is doing something really weird with their face).
But my talents aren't just limited to making you look good (although, let's be real, I'm pretty darn good at that). We're also pros at capturing the little moments that make your love story unique. From the way your partner's eyes light up when they see you walking down the aisle to the impromptu rap battle that breaks out during the reception (okay, that one hasn't happened... yet), I'm there to snap it all, so you can relive those memories for years to come.
But enough about me, let's talk about you. You're embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, and I couldn't be more excited to be along for the ride - say hi today and let's get started.

Like a lot of other people, we had to reschedule our wedding a couple of times throughout the Rona, which was a gigantic headache but Ryan was super helpful and really flexible in ...
making our wedding happen. It's great to have these beautiful pictures to help remember the wedding and not all the frustration that went into planning.

Working with Ryan was great. Once we started the process he set up a clear timeline for communication and never left us waiting - whether it was for a follow-up email or finally de...
livering the photos two weeks ahead of schedule! He was able to capture the essence of our special day in a remarkable way and we're still enjoying those photos four years later.

Finding Ryan was basically my contribution to the wedding (I know), since my wife is very driven and had a really clear vision for the wedding and I had taken a course in college o...
n photography. Hands down it was one of the best decisions of the wedding, he was really helpful when we had to keep throwing out and changing plans and was a source of some calm when things were at their most hectic. We ended up with a small backyard wedding and the pictures were beautiful.

Ryan really helped us pick up the pieces with our 2020 wedding. Like a lot of other couples we had planned for a larger celebration but then COVID happened and I was crushed. Ryan ...
Richardson Photography was really flexible with our initial cancellation and we knew we had to have him for our mini-mony on the Cape.

I was a bit skeptical about my husband picking our wedding photographer, but after meeting Ryan at our Fenway engagement shoot all my fears were put at ease. His photos from our en...
gagement shoot are gorgeous And he totally captured the ballpark princess look I was going for. There was not a moment during the wedding that Ryan wasn't shooting and all of his hard work definitely shows in the proofs. I would highly recommend him for engagement / wedding photography.

We recently used Ryan for our wedding on May 16, 2015. We were very happy with how our photos came out! Ryan was very personable. He wasn't one of those photographers who took them...
selves too seriously and made everyone uncomfortable. He was on time, he was professional, he was reasonably priced, and we had digital copies of our photos within 2 weeks. We felt very comfortable working with him, and we love the results! I would highly recommend him to any couple.His assistant was lovely too!

Our wedding was in August of 2012 and it was great having Ryan there. It was almost like adding on an extra member of the wedding party, he made us feel so comfortable.
Unfortun...
ately it rained on our wedding day, so we weren't able to get some of the beautiful outdoor images we had been looking for. However, he offered to set us up with a free bridal session before we left on our honeymoon to make sure my bride had the pictures she had been dreaming about.

Ryan photographed our wedding a couple weeks ago in Bar Harbor, Maine. We choose him because he had done the photos for my brother-in-law's wedding a few years ago and we completel...
y admired his work.
When we started looking for photographers, we looked up in the Bar Harbor area (we are originally from Southeastern MA, but did a small destination wedding with our immediate families), but found even with travel and giving him accommodation overnight, Ryan was still far more reasonably priced and came with a great product.
We also chose to do an Engagement Session with Ryan at a very reasonable price. Although we were unable to have the photos taken in the location we hoped for, Ryan immediately had a suggestion for a new location that was beautiful and perfect for us!
The photos themselves (both of the Engagement Session and the Wedding) came out beautiful and vibrant and we were able to see the finished product in a very timely manner.
I can highly recommend Ryan as we hope to use him in the future for family photos and the like!

Ryan took great pictures and was able to cover everything. Also he had a gallery up on his site within 2 days of the wedding. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
