Ryon : Lockhart Photography

end of your day it’s your photographers that you see the most of on your wedding day and I was so pleased to have these two present to capture all of our special moments. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

m! From the engagement shoot to our wedding day, they made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera - something we did not feel comfortable with at first. Not to mention, our photos came out absolutely stunning! They are exactly what I envisioned. Sarah captured every special moment no matter how small and I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you again Ryon Lockhart!

ave imagined. They can do any setup. They are also such a pleasure to work with and make it easy! You spend a lot of time with your photographers on your wedding day so make sure you have a goood repour. Photos also aren't your average cheesy photos either. Even my husband who doesn't love taking photos was so happy with how they turned out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

e look we were going for with our photos and our laidback style and that's exactly what we received. On the day of our wedding, she showed up right on time and was just as pumped about our wedding as we were. The final images we received were amazing, literally exactly what we wanted. Sarah made us feel comfortable all day and was great at getting beautiful, natural and unstaged "posey" photos. Would definitely recommend Ryon:Lockhart for anyone in the market!

r wedding for our engagement shoot in Central Park. She made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and made the day so fun! She gave us our pictures in record time, and every single one was exceptional (it was next to impossible to pick just one favorite for our Save the Dates)! On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Tim were both so great. They are an amazing team, and went above and beyond to ensure that they captured every single detail of our wedding day. We had a fusion wedding, which meant that Sarah and Tim had to work all day with barely a break to capture Hindu and Western ceremonies and one reception all in one day. They worked tirelessly and always with a smile on their faces. They were funny, extremely supportive, organized, and so lovely to work with. Sarah even helped me change into my third outfit for the reception! We are so lucky to work with such talented photographers who felt like family from the very beginning!

ss, and she made the whole process a joy. Not only was she responsive and true to her deadlines, but she was so genuinely nice and accommodating throughout and instantly put me at ease during the stressful planning months. Sarah had lots of great ideas for our engagement session, and we ended up choosing Venice Beach and the Venice Canals based on her advice. We were so glad we did! She has such an eye for color and light, and her easy going nature makes the whole thing FUN. We had such a blast taking photos with her and knew our wedding would be more of the same. On our wedding day, Sarah and Tim were such a power team, working together seamlessly to ensure we got all the shots we wanted and then some. They were calm and professional as they somehow wrangled our huge wedding party and families together, and we couldn't be happier with how all of the photos came out. At this point, I trusted Sarah so much I said "sure!" when she suggested we hike up the hillside (wedding dress, heels and all) to get the aerial vineyard shots I was hoping for. And she did not disappoint!! I cannot recommend Ryon:Lockhart enough for your wedding photos ... or engagement photos, family photos... any photos! They are the real deal and you will be so happy you did!

was an old friend that we couldn’t wait to share this experience with! Our session was great and so comfortable but nothing compared to getting the photos back! They were stunning!! We immediately booked her for our wedding (which was in California)! By that time we were so comfortable and knew exactly what to expect and even then our wedding photos absolutely blew us away! One of my favorite moments of the day was sneaking away during cocktail hour just my husband and I and our photography team, it felt like such a fun hour with great friends vs just being with vendors hired for the day. Not only do we have the most beautiful pictures to last a lifetime, it’s a connection that we both look forward to continuing for any occasion that needs to be documented! Seriously, look no further, Ryon Lockhart Photography is THE BEST vendor decision you will make in the wedding planning process!

a photographer who we just clicked with and a team that made every shot feel organic and not forced; Sarah + Tim were the perfect match. We searched out of the recommended photographers list from our venue in CT and went with Sarah + Tim through the recommendation of a former colleague. I was incredibly thrilled to hear that they would be willing to travel for our wedding to a venue over 2 hours from their home. That is the type of dedication and passion they have for what they do. They were incredibly fun to be around on our wedding day and made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire time. I personally loved that they could also play along and go with the flow, taking a few out of the box type photos and even joining in and being in a few photos themselves. The emotions and little touches they captured throughout the day were so special and something we will keep close to our hearts as we look back on this day. Overall, I could not have imaged a better team to be around on our wedding day. Thank you Sarah + Tim - wish we could get married all over again so we can have you capture it once again! xoxo Taryn + Jon

ith Sarah for our engagement photos and that session was a dream! So effortless, truly capturing the love between us without forcing anything beyond our natural connection. Sarah & Tim brought a sense of calm and peace to our wedding day and they captured our day so beautifully and organically. Our wedding day was an out of body experience for me and I missed a lot of what went on - but I was able to re-live the entire day through the lens of Sarah & Tim and it was perfect! They were like 2 butterflies in the background of the day - always where they needed to be but never in the way. Their patience and professionalism was a breath of fresh air on a potentially hectic day. I look forward to finding excuses to take photos with them in the future and I hope I can recommend Sarah & Tim to others so that the world can fall in love just as we have!

style candid, detailed and very pretty, but their friendliness, sincerity and genuine passion for their work spoke volumes to us as well. They were very easy to talk to, extremely accommodating, and always made us feel very comfortable throughout the process, from start to finish. On the day of, Sarah and Tim continued to show their true professionalism. Not only were they early to set up, but their super reliable, calm, and happy demeanor put us at ease in front of the camera and helped make our tight timeline fun and non-stressful. They made it seem so effortless as they moved around the city with us, from location to location, and throughout the venue to capture EVERYTHING as well as a long “wish list” of shots from us (which they were so nice about!). Choosing the right photographer(s) was one of the most important decisions to make during our planning process, and we are so thankful that we found Ryon:Lockhart and had the chance to work with Sarah and Tim. They far exceeded our expectations every step of the way! Our final photos turned out to be artistic, extremely beautiful, high-quality, comprehensive, and perfectly captured the many precious, candid moments from our wedding, which we will cherish forever!

ography. When Patrick and I met Sarah over Skype, we knew we had found the photographers we wanted to work with. Sarah answered all of our questions, and proved to be chill and funny. Sarah had an additional photographer with her on our wedding day, and she was lovely as well. They both were lots of fun and did their best to capture Patrick and I at our best. When it was too sunny to do a family photo at our ceremony site, Sarah quickly adapted and moved my huge family across the property -- barely blinking an eye. Everyone was amazed at how beautiful our photos turned out but we weren't surprised at all! Thanks, Ryon Lockhart Photography, for doing great work and for capturing our special day so masterfully.

e pictures turned out great. Above all, they were amazing on our wedding day. From seamlessly (an covertly) jumping in to fix my dress when my strap broke to making sure all the important photos were taken by the end of the night, they were incredible. My whole wedding party kept raving about how awesome they were to work with. Beyond just photography they had an uncanny ability to keep things calm, relaxed and happy even when were time crunched/there were little issues that came up. Their calm, cool, professional and positive composure set the tone for the day and alleviated some potentially stressful moments. We love our wedding photos so much. They captured so many wonderful moments and made us look gorgeous!! I recommend without hesitation!!

shot our pictures outside, on a sunny 40 degree January day, in the West Village and they are incredible. Completely candid, natural and they captured every moment. Furthermore, every picture we requested, was taken. They did not miss one single combination of family members/friends. It was very obvious from our first meeting with S & T that they are true artists. They care about their work and genuinely want to document the best memories from your special event. Because it is their personal business, their level of care and concern for their clients is above and beyond. Sarah's work with natural light is impressive- it is for sure her speciality. Trust these two, enjoy your day and better yet- enjoy the results of their work! We can't wait to hire them again!

essional, they are so much fun to be around. They put us at ease and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Both our engagement and wedding photos are amazing and really capture the essence of two of the happiest days of our lives. We can't say it enough how amazing they are! Look no further, hire them immediately!

need them!!" moment. Since then I've recommended them to all of our friends getting married. It's hard to pick the BEST part of working with them, but a few highlights include: 1. They are amazing people and so easy to work with. It was a pleasure having them involved in our wedding. After our engagement shoot, we just kept saying that we can't wait to hang out with them again (aka at our wedding). Now we just miss them... 2. Their work is incredible. They do an amazing job of capturing the moments as they happen. If you love natural light, hidden beauty, and those little candid moments-- these two are for you. I can't even tell you how many friends and family members have thanked us for the candid photos of them at our wedding. Not to mention all the beautiful pictures of us and our wedding party.... 3. If you have a dog you'd like involved-- these two are excellent. Our dog, Waffles, loved them and was excited to put on a show for them and the camera :) TL;DR: Hire them, you won't regret it!

idence they've turned out beautifully. From the moment I met Sarah, I knew I wanted to hire her. She's extremely kind, easy going, and professional. She has a calming demeanor that's perfect in the frenzy of a wedding. Sarah and Tim also did our engagement photos and immediately put us at ease. We are not a couple who love taking pictures, but they were able to joke with us and make us forget we were doing it, and the icing on the cake was that we ended up loving the pictures. Also the packing the engagement photo drive was sent in was lovely. After the engagement session, Sarah would check in and if I had any questions she answered them promptly. She was always willing to help for whatever reason. As part of our wedding present, my sister-in-laws hired Sarah to shoot the rehearsal dinner and I was so happy to see here and so happy I'll get fantastic photos of that night too. On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Tim blended in but were there when we needed them and were again a calming and fun presence. Definitely one of the best decisions we made and I really recommend.

w us as a couple by speaking over the phone, via e-mails, and meeting in person prior to our wedding day. You should review the portfolio on their website - there you can see that Sarah specializes in candid photos, where you can feel the energy and happiness of the couples and their guests. As photographers, they are in no way obtrusive or obnoxious, never blocking anyone’s views or making anyone pose in unnatural ways. They are more like “flys on the wall”, snapping candids of you and your guests enjoying yourselves. On our wedding day, Sarah and Tim took beautiful pictures of our families and wedding party, but my favorite photos are of the reception. Fast forward to 2 months later when we received the link to the pictures... I could cry thinking about how beautiful they came out. I will seriously treasure them forever. Looking through them lets me relive our wedding over and over again. As the bride and groom you are so overwhelmed with trying to say hello to all of your guests, you unfortunately miss out on some of your own party. With these pictures, I no longer feel like I missed out. I am so incredibly happy with Sarah and Tim's work - they are the absolute BEST.

attention to detail, and flexibility truly took any/all pressure off of us during our wedding planning and our wedding day. Sarah and Tim were very communicative through the entire process, which was incredibly helpful. They requested our input for a formal shot list (which turned out better than we'd ever imagined) and took countless incredible candids throughout the process of getting ready, the ceremony, cocktail hour, first dance, dinner, toasts, dancing ... everything. They are true professionals and did an amazing job of utilizing the different spaces within and around our wedding venue for different backdrops for our photos. Words cannot express how in love we are with every single photo they captured from our wedding. Our wedding day flew by and was over before we knew it, but Sarah and Tim found a way to capture every moment of it in the most beautiful way imaginable. Choosing Ryon:Lockhart to photograph our wedding was without a doubt the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding day. Sarah and Tim are such wonderful and kind people and absolutely remarkable photographers.

ter 10 mins with Sarah & Tim, we forgot we were even taking photos. They are so easy going and laid back, it felt as if it was an afternoon spent with friends. For my wedding day, I had planned several locations in NYC I wanted to shoot before my ceremony. I was told by many photographers before I met Sarah & Tim, it was impossible. But Sarah & Tim made it happen! From our initial meeting, Sarah said, as long as we were up for it, they were too! They captured every single moment that day and worked through all the challenges. It was a 95 degree day, hot & humid but Sarah worked with us and captured the most beautiful pictures in Central Park & around NYC. Every time I looked at my pictures I am re-living that day all over again. Never for a moment was it "we can't do this...its not possible.." Sarah made sure every thing worked and if the original planned didn't happen, there was always an alternative. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Sarah & Tim as your wedding photographers, it will be your best decision, you won't regret it!

ings and emotions of each moment and the overall feeling of the day, which quite honestly blew us away. We are not the best at taking pictures, but they were able to make us LOOK and FEEL the best we have ever felt. We love their style of photography and can't wait to show our pictures to our family and friends! They were professional, skilled and so easy going! I would highly recommend them!

my experience working with them (just read every other review for those details:)) and the PHOTOS!! They are insane. You will miss out if you don't work with these two - and for the value, nothing compares. Enjoy!!

l 2016 wedding, but Sarah and her associate Billye were there at McCormick Home Ranch to capture some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Because we were based in Japan, we first met Sarah and Tim over Skype, but Sarah made a point to meet up with us before the wedding day to get to know us. On the actual wedding day, her and Billye fit into our family so perfectly and managed to capture some of the most tender and intimate moments of our wedding day. They were both true professionals and now, when we look back at our wedding day, we know we have the most authentic and beautiful photos of our magical day. Their use of light, overall lovely energy, clear direction, professionalism, and skill shone throughout the day and later when our flash drive arrived and we had tons of pictures. This was one of the biggest investments we made on our wedding day and it was the most worthwhile as we will be enjoying these pictures for the rest of our lives.

t them in person a few months later in person at our engagement photo session they were so laid back and made us feel at ease as they took hundreds of gorgeous photos. We could not get over our engagement pictures and how beautiful and flawless they turned out. It was such a fun afternoon with Sarah and Tim and it didn't feel posed or awkward at all. As the months passed and our May 2016 wedding quickly approached, Sarah and I were in contact each week. She was quick to answer every email and put any wedding jitters I had at ease. Our wedding day was as hectic as everyone had warned us, but Sarah and Tim were there for every moment and every shot. From the thousands of photos to our gorgeous album, we could not be happier with how everything turned out. They were not only professional and talented, they were sweet and genuine. My husband I are blessed to have met them and hope to use them again in the future when we start a family. Sarah and Tim are simply the best!

Side of NYC and it was a great time getting to know them and it was good to practice before the wedding! We received the photos on personally engraved USB drive and a lovely thank you note! I was with one of my bridesmaids when Sarah posted the blog of our photos, and she saw one of the glowing pictures, and it brought tears to her eyes - that's how good Sarah and Tim are as photographers. A plus is that they are not your typical wedding photographers that watermark all your photos, they trust that you will tag them for any photos you use on social media! During our wedding they made sure we got our list of photos we requested and were very focused on staying with the bride and groom while also catching candid shots of the guests. Sarah and Tim are amazing photographers and we were super happy with how the entire day went!

ic and beautifully shot. More importantly, Sarah and Tim captured so many small candid moments that could have easily been missed - a kiss on the hand, a kiss on the cheek, or a big belly laugh. They captured these little flashes that really bring out our personalities, and the energy, love, and excitement of the day. Looking back at our pictures, it really takes me back and lets me re-experience those little moments! Beyond having some beautiful memories that I will always cherish, Sarah and Tim were just a joy to have with us all day. Sarah helped me throughout the day, talked me through a lot of my stress, made me laugh, and helped me relax! Their personalities really put us at ease. By getting us to relax, they got some really natural photographs that capture our personalities. Thank you Sarah & Tim!!

es were made. And most importantly, they gave us countless heart-stopping images of our big day. They made it feel easy to be in front of the camera and the results were PHENOMENAL. The captured all the moments perfectly and we couldn't be any happier. I would recommend them to every single couple that is planning a wedding.

my dress and when our shuttle to the church didn't show up. Their style of getting shots set up is really easy for everyone involved, yet militant enough to get all the photos done in a reasonable amount of time. During the reception there were tons of great moments. I would think to myself "I wish we could get a photo of this moment," and then when I turned around Sarah or Tim was right there snapping a shot. With any photographer the proof is in the pudding. The photos were beyond what I could have imagined. They made everything look so incredible the way they shot the photos, retouched, etc. Just check out the blog to see for yourself how great the photos come out. I would work with this team again in a heartbeat and recommend them without hesitation!

erative that you have good chemistry and are comfortable with whoever you choose. From the second we met them, our personalities clicked and I knew this dynamic duo would be the perfect ones for the job! Sarah and Tim are nothing short of professional and courteous, with the right amount of fun to help ensure that your wedding day is perfect! We were thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out and honored that they were chosen to be featured in Style Me Pretty’s wedding blog. Sarah and Tim are not only talented and exceptional photographers, but they are two of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. I highly recommend them!

et Sarah and Tim over Skype and we instantly clicked- you seriously cannot meet a nicer couple. They made us feel so relaxed in front of the camera- something that we did not believe could happen! We did an engagement shoot around Brooklyn and even on a crowded New York Saturday evening, the photos were still intimate and beautiful. Sarah and Tim were an absolute godsend on the day of the wedding. From the moment they arrived they helped us feel relaxed and organized. They never felt intrusive, yet captured every single moment. They went above and beyond the duty of wedding photographers and became our wedding planners on the day, when issues arose at the venue. When we received our wedding photos I could not believe how exquisite they were. Everyone who was at our wedding has said that the photographs captured the day exactly as they remembered it. They were perfect- we can not express how happy we are with them. We would recommend Ryon:Lockhart Photography for any occasion- you will not find better!

t the time and I sat down with Tim and Sarah before we booked with them and were so pleasantly surprised. They are the warmest, caring, and real people. After the meeting, we immediately booked them. I did not know at the time what a wonderful decision we made. Tim and Sarah are so professional, reliable, and detail oriented both our wedding and engagement pictures were amazing! As part of the wedding package, they offer an engagement session so they get to know the bride and groom before the big day. That shoot was so comfortable and fun! They were so patient with our different venues and outfit changes and Sarah was so helpful in making outfit and accessory suggestions when asked. Our wedding day was a dream and Tim and Sarah captured it perfectly! They were present for all the important moments but not ever in the way or a distraction. Having Sarah nearby was like having one of my girlfriends shoot our wedding. The pictures were so professional when we received them, you can tell how talented Tim and Sarah are and how well they work together to capture each moment. We had some issues with the zip drive (it ended up being corrupted) sent from a company they use to no fault of Ryon Lockhart Photography. They were SO responsive and offered multiple fixes for the problem. They sent us a new zip drive right away and posted our pictures on an online gallery so that we could download them sooner. We were so pleased with our photos and will cherish them for a lifetime and we can't wait to book them for a family shoot with our newborn! Thank you Tim and Sarah!!

ding which put us at ease for the big day. They were happy to run with the day and go with the flow, ensuring that each photo "caught the light" perfectly. They were super communicative, informative, and always made sure we felt comfortable leading up to the day and on the day. I can't speak more highly of this duo - they are first-rate photographers with an extraordinary eye for just the right photo. Our photos were INCREDIBLE and I still receive comments from friends and family wanting to know who we used so they can tell their recently engaged friend about them! You will not be disappointed - they are THE BEST, hands down!!

a few minutes into the shoot they made us so comfortable that we almost forgot we were being photographed. The pictures turned out not stiff but natural. The finished product they sent us turned out beautiful! Sarah and Tim did a wonderful job of capturing the day. They took time to photograph all the little details that I loved about my wedding. The portraits were breathtaking. They really do have a magical eye and saw opportunities for photos that I would have walked right past. My favorite photos were all from the reception. I had so much fun looking through the photos. They took some great ones of my guests enjoying the day, captured moments that I didn't witness, and reminded me of some great moments I forgot about because of the blur of the day. After looking though the photos I felt like I was able to live the day all over again!

ere was something special from the first time I met with Tim and Sarah. We talked for a few hours and the whole time they were very professional but also personable. By our second meeting, I felt like we've been friends for many years and for me, that was one of the important deciding factors. Since we were going to spend all day with our photographers on our wedding day, it was very important to me that we got along so that we would have natural chemistry rather than feeling forced. They made us feel comfortable which helped put us at ease so we could be ourselves. My husband and I truly loved working with Tim and Sarah and highly recommend them to any couple or family who are looking for two very talented photographers and just all-around-good people. They are a great team and complement each other beautifully. Whenever Sarah was capturing the main shots of us, Tim was in the background taking the candid shots and was so attentive to all the little details. I remembered during our engagement session, he had to fix my ring multiple times because it kept shifting and wasn't centered. They're also very flexible, accommodating, and responsive. From me changing our engagement session from LA to SF to the weather not cooperating with us, they were quick on their feet and made the best of the environment. On the day of our engagement session, it was one of the windiest days in SF with 25 mph wind but Tim and Sarah were talented and made it work. You couldn't even tell from the pictures that my hair was being blown in all different directions. Also, prior to our wedding day, they were great about checking in and reviewing our timeline and shot list. They provided sound feedback based on their past experience. On the wedding day, I was stressing because we were running behind schedule due to a make up mishap but being around Tim and Sarah and their calm personality helped. They reassured me that everything will work out and again, we made the best of our environment. My husband and I are so impressed and so happy with all of our photos. They were able to capture all the important moments and the essence of our relationship so effortlessly. Looking through the photos makes me smile every time. We're so grateful to have worked with them. Their talent and passion shine through in their work and we will treasure these photos for the years to come.

and the personalities of the bride and groom, in the most beautiful way. When I got engaged, they were the first vendors I called - I had to make sure they were free before cementing the date! I work for a wedding planner & I know a LOT of photographers I could've hired, but I wouldn't have wanted my wedding shot by anyone else. My husband is not generally comfortable in front of a camera, but Sarah & Tim made us both feel at ease, and the photos capture us both perfectly. We've had numerous people tell us that ours are some of the best engagement & wedding photos they've ever seen. Sarah & Tim are also really wonderful people, easy to get along with and very accessible during the planning process. They delivered everything we asked for, above our expectations, and they felt like old friends we would've invited to our wedding even if they hadn't been shooting it. :) I honestly can't recommend them highly enough.

d really enthusiastic about working with us. The photoshoot itself was so much fun! They were both very easy-going and also accommodating of the pictures and locations we wanted. (We started in Washington Square Park and finished up in Central Park) They listened to our ideas and also gave their own ideas about places where we could take pictures and also what kind of poses to do. We were afraid that it would be really awkward but Sarah and Tim made sure we were comfortable and it wasn't awkward at all. We also were afraid of the photos being too "posed" but they were able to keep things more natural. The atmosphere really light and fun and it ended up being a great time. Most importantly, it seemed like Sarah and Tim really cared about us and our pictures. They did not rush us at all and asked us a lot of questions about us, how we met, our wedding, etc. They would check that our outfits, hair, etc were all in place before each picture. It was such a smooth and enjoyable session; I was SO happy we decided to use them!!

reviewed more wedding photographer websites than I can even count. I also ran all the websites by my now husband who is himself a professional photographer and has shot numerous weddings. Needless to say, Sarah and Tim exceeded all of my expectations and gave me the most beautiful memories from my wedding. I felt an immediate connection with them and Sarah and Tim's sample work rivaled the best photography I had seen. My husband was also so impressed with their work and has said on numerous occasions that Sarah and Tim are at the top of their industry and their work represents the cream of the crop. Having Sarah and Tim be such an integral part of my wedding was not only a true joy but an honor. We had so much fun together! If you have an opportunity to work with Ryon Lockhart, I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend them.

d tell they were very professional and excited to work with us. Our engagement photos came our amazing and they made the process fun and enjoyable. They put in the time and effort to scout our wedding venues multiple times before to set up the best shots on our wedding day. The pics are stunning and even our venue wants to use their photos for their website. Sarah and Tim enjoy what they do and it comes across in the results. Would highly, highly recommend using Ryon:Lockhart Photography if you want the perfect wedding pictures!

ng as much as it took to have a photographer that I liked - easy to get along with and had a portfolio that I loved. For my husband, he wanted to find a photographer who we connected with, but also had a fair price (he is much more budget-minded than I am...). We truly hit the jackpot with Sarah and Tim (Ryon:Lockhart). It was like love at first email! After meeting them once, we BOTH knew that they were the perfect fit for us. I realize now that not all wedding-related decisions were so easy to make. Ryon:Lockhart was the best wedding decision we made. I don't remember very much about the wedding day, but thanks to Sarah and Tim, I have photos to show me all of the things I didn't see and remind me of all of the things I loved about our special day! I would whole-heartedly advise anyone looking for a photographer for any event to contact Ryon:Lockhart. I'm pretty sure you'll fall in love with them the way my husband and I did!

rrow it down when we first started planning the wedding. The moment we saw their work, we knew Sarah and Tim were the perfect photographers for us! We really appreciated the artistic perspective and genius use of light. We are not really a family who loves having pictures taken, but our time spent with Sarah and Tim was so relaxed and enjoyable that it didn't even feel like a "photo shoot". Our two-year-old daughter was included in both our engagement session and wedding photos of course and they handled her like pros! Sarah has an innate ability to find a beautiful backdrop in the most discrete places you would never notice.. and Tim, off to the side, captured some of our favorite images because we sort of forgot he was there and he caught us in such a natural state. The final product is hundreds of breathtaking photos to choose from. We are so happy we hired Ryon: Lockhart to capture the most important moments of our life.. the hardest part was narrowing our images down for the wedding album!

r wedding planning process, we always knew photography was a priority. We planned to book our photographer even before we settled on a venue. And now that our wedding is over and we have our wedding pictures in hand, we feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have had them at our wedding. When I started my research, I must have looked at over 50 photographers. I was armed with a long list of photographers my friends had used for their wedding and I soon had "analysis paralysis". I took a step back to really determine what I valued for our potential wedding photos and what components I wanted captured. I remember asking a friend about her experience with her photographer (not Ryon and Lockhart photography) and she said, "the pictures came out beautiful but they focused too much on the details. I wish they included more pictures of people instead" and I soon realized that capturing people / expressions was incredibly important to me as well. With that in mind, I went back to searching for photographers and when I came across Ryon and Lockhart photography, I knew almost immediately that I wanted them to capture our wedding. Their photos showed people's faces and expressions with such authenticity and clarity and though their photos of scenery / details were beautiful, they highlighted people and how the day naturally proceeded. It only took a few minutes after our Skype session for my now husband and I to agree that we wanted to hire Ryon Lockhart photography for our wedding. Sarah and Tim were down to earth, kind, accommodating, professional and funny and since my husband and I are both a bit camera shy, we were really glad that we felt comfortable around them. Sarah is amazingly quick to respond to emails and since we were planning our LA wedding in the Bay Area, it was incredibly helpful to have her always on top of responses. Our engagement shoot was a blast and it worked logistically well because Sarah and Tim happen to be in the Bay Area and we could have our engagement shoot on Treasure Island. Even taking the time to suggest that weekend for our engagement shoot went beyond the call of duty and we were impressed with photos. On the actual wedding day, Sarah and Tim were wonderful! They had great suggestions and helped the whole day run more smoothly. I even heard our MC's got instructions on how to handle the cake cutting / bouquet toss from Sarah. The list of formal portraits we asked for helped organize a rather busy schedule and our group photos turned out great. I think with all weddings there are some aspects you want to change, but for us, we felt like one of the best choices we made was going with Sarah and Tim for our photos. I could not recommend them enough and am excited to keep in contact with them in the future.

ple as we planned it. They gave us great suggestions for timeline and picture list so the day of we didn't have to worry about missing any moments. We love our pictures, and the story that the pictures tells, from getting dress to dancing on the dance floor. We would 100% recommend Sarah and Tim for anyone looking for great photographers for their wedding.

r schedule, 2) make us feel comfortable, 3)capture our love, and 4) fit into our style of photography. We love clean, classic, photos that don't seem fake or posed. After contacting a few photographers, we knew we found THE ONE when we found Sarah and Tim from Ryon: Lockhart. They were able to deliver on everything we wanted and more! They are super sweet, extremely professional, and FUN! They are willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot and made sure that we were happy with our shots. My husband and I are so pleased that not only we changed our minds about taking our photos, but that we went with Tim and Sarah. I especially loved it when they delivered our photos in a cute wooden box with our names engraved on to a wooden USB. For me, little things like this goes a long way and their overall service and quality is priceless.

I can't wait to frame several and display them at our wedding. I can't recommend them enough - they are incredibly professional & kind. THE LOVELIEST!

e totally blown away. We felt instantly at ease with them, like we had all been friends for years. They started showing us more of their work and the choice was easy – their work was outstanding. Their prices were also incredibly affordable for the amount of work they were willing to do for us. Compared to the rest of the wedding photographers in our area, they were simply better skilled and more affordable. After that day, Sarah and I began emailing back and forth about all sorts of things. She was very responsive and had great ideas. We began with our engagement photo shoot. We thought it would feel forced and awkward, but they were so good at helping us focus and feel/act normally. And not only was it a fun day shooting with them, the photos were absolutely breath taking. You could tell they spent hours editing each one and really took pride in their work. It made us even more excited for our wedding day. On the day of, Sarah and Tim showed up almost 30 minutes early from the time we arranged to make sure they had enough time to setup. They shot everything imaginable that day. I had so many of my friends and family come up to me saying how great the photographers were and how nice they were to everyone at our wedding. Every time I looked, they were right there, shooting everything that was happening. They were with us for 9-10 hours that day and their level of dedication and professionalism was everything you’d expect and more. I can’t describe the feeling when we got our wedding photos back. I was in tears looking through all of the shots they edited for us. I honestly can’t imagine the photos coming out any better than they did. They captured everything, all the while making us, our friends and family look great! There was such a wide variety to choose from that we still haven’t chosen which shots we want to print! The wedding day felt like a blur after it was over and we’re overjoyed that we’ll always have the day captured in such detailed photographs. I cannot recommend Sarah and Tim enough – they were such a dream to work with and we can’t wait to use them in the future for other big events!

be ourselves in front of the camera. They were so friendly and more than accommodating when working with our wedding party, families, and other vendors. Many of our family members and friends have expressed how impressed they are with the quality of the photos. One wedding industry insider told my mother-in-law that one photo in particular is the best wedding picture she has ever seen, all because of the keen eye and unique aesthetic Tim and Sarah bring to their work. They did an amazing job capturing all of the emotions, events, and details of the day. We could not be happier with our choice of wedding photographers. Tim and Sarah are professional and so easy to work with, and the photos speak for themselves. Hire Ryon:Lockhart; you won't be disappointed!

y of the sessions. They wanted to make sure that we felt comfortable and not overwhelmed with the cameras. In the end, my husband and I were extremely happy with the way our shots were done. Sarah does a great job at performing the minimalist amount of touch ups so you don't loose the real look/feel of the photo. Her and Tim also have an excellent eye. We didn't want a bunch of typical wedding style shots (except for the family portraits). Instead, we wanted something a bit more candid and artsy and they were definitely able to deliver. Another point to mention is how well they were able to manage family portait time during our wedding. The day of is a bit overwhelming with everyone trying to get your attention, but Sarah was able to take charge and get us through all of our shots! Overall, we adore Sarah and Tim and would definitely recommend them as photographers!

y going atmosphere of our photo sessions made even the least photogenic and uncomfortable-in-front-of-the-camera subjects look great! Our photo sessions felt more like we were just hanging out with Sara and Tim rather than posing for the camera.

ding and we were so grateful to have them. Being in Maui everything felt so foreign with all the other vendors but having Tim and Sarah with us on our wedding day put us at ease. On the day of the ceremony, when they took pictures you hardly knew they were there. I felt like we didn't have to spend too much time taking pictures and when we received the final pictures you could see that they got hundreds of amazing shots of our most special day. They captured the magic of that day! Tim & Sarah are the sweetest, most down to earth people and a couple that's so in love so they get how much our wedding day and those pictures meant to us. I show my pictures to everyone and I feel like they were able to capture all the people and every detail that made our day so wonderful!

bsolutely did not disappoint. Sarah and Tim did not stop hustling the entire while night documenting many great moments. They made us so at ease that we quickly forgot the cameras were going and were able to truly enjoy the night with friends and family, knowing they were capturing it all. The images we received were beautiful and reflected many special moments and the fun of the entire wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the results. Not only are they good at what they do, but Tim and Sarah are a fun couple to work with. Great experience all around!

pecial moments, etc. They really care a lot about all of their clients. I've since sent their name to 2 of my close friends (one of which they already shot) and everyone comes back with the same comments and reviews. I received endless compliments about them from the wedding guests and wedding party. After receiving the photos back my opinions and thoughts were re-affirmed in the fact that I'm only halfway through my photos and already have 150+ favorites.

e seasoned professionals and it showed through every step of the process, from our first meeting to the day of and the final product. They were on top of everything. I immediately fell in love with their clean, classic, and emotion filled work. In fact after being stood up by another photographer and finding them through a 1000 google searches, when there was a chance they might be booked for our day, I cried. I'm not ashamed to admit it. They are that good. Style is obviously a personal choice, but I think what is most important in choosing a wedding photographer is their ability to capture the joy of the day and Tim and Sarah know how to tell your story. I love our wedding photos because they froze all the small moments of happiness in an absolutely beautiful way. Finally, Tim and Sarah are people you want to spend your wedding day with. They are calm, professional, respectful, creative and kind. They will make your day better. We are so grateful to Tim and Sarah for all their hard work and the beautiful result. Hands down one of the best wedding choices we made.

the engagement photo session with their package, and it made such a difference. We loved the photos so much that it was one less thing to worry about on the big day because we knew we were going to get great photos out of it, and we were already comfortable with them as well. I definitely recommend them!

friends and family were amazed with them and several people have since hired them for additional services! Both my husband and I hate being in front of a camera, yet Sarah and Tim made us feel completely comfortable. They captured so many meaningful moments with such grace and finesse. One of my favorite times on my wedding day was relaxing in the bridal suite with my husband-to-be and Sarah and Tim. We had so much fun laughing and taking candid shots before the ceremony began. Not only do they provide amazing photographs, their presence provides a calming sense of tranquility on what can be a stressful time. After the wedding, they gave us so many amazing photos. I had an extremely hard time deciding on what to put in the photo album and ended up selecting over 200! Not only did they capture the bridal party, they captured EVERYONE having an amazing time. It has been a year from my wedding, yet I still enjoy looking at the pictures of our friends and families beaming with so much joy. They truly captured everything on our perfect day and we can’t thank them enough. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Tim.

They made us feel good in front of the camera, and also made sure that they provided us with the pictures in a timely manner. They are so easy to work and get along with that we feel very lucky to have found them and become friends. We definitely will be calling them again in the future when we need professional photos taken.

ave such passion for what they do and are just genuinely sweet people. This is reflected in their pictures as they are dedicated to high quality work and are skilled at capturing all the moments throughout the day. We couldn't be any more happier with how all the images turned out - both engagement and wedding!! Their customer service is unbeatable -- always responsive, helpful and flexible to our needs. They're the best.

got closer and closer and were on top of everything. And did I mention the adorable personalized thumb drives they delivered our engagement and wedding photos on?! If you don't hire these 2 for your event you are TRULY missing out.

ou not only love working with, but want to hang out with as well. My fiance and I hired Ryon:Lockhart to shoot our wedding in April 2013, and recently had our engagement shoot with them and were so happy with how the pictures turned out. If you are not thinking about engagement pictures-think again! It's a GREAT way to get to know your wedding photographers and trust me, it's slightly awkward when you start off your engagement photo shoot, so get that awkwardness out of the way at the engagement shoot and don't worrry about it at your wedding! Sarah and Tim were so patient with us and made us feel so at ease, even when it felt a little awkward. The prices are competitive and the professionalism and quality of photos you get are priceless. Sarah and Tim shot our wedding, and I cannot say enough positive things about both of them. They arrived early to take "getting ready" photos, and did not leave the party until they made sure we got photos with everyone we wanted. Sarah and Tim are tireless, make you feel incredibly comfortable in sometimes awkward photo situations, and can put a smile on your face every time. They worked to make sure that shots were taken efficiently and, most importantly, you couldn't even tell that they were there (which is good thing, b/c the most annoying thing at certain weddings is when the photographer is so obvious and in your face snapping away that you can't concentrate on the bride and groom!). I highly recommend Ryon:Lockhart and will surely be using them in the future again...

ble to provide directions for our vision for our wedding photography but open to other ideas that we had, and all around helpful. They were always interested in what my husband and I wanted and they worked so well with our needs. They roll with the punches, manage stress with ease, and capture beautiful moments that you look back on for the rest of your life and say “I’m so glad someone caught that.” My husband and I were so excited when we received our engagement photos and down right in awe when we got our wedding pictures. The images are stunning and they tell a story. My family can be hard to deal with so I thought that it might really bother the photographers but if they did we would have never known it because Sarah and Tim are so professional. If you are looking for amazing photos, awesome people to work with, and great service, look no more, Ryon : Lockhart is where it’s at.

o hate what they do and are stuck in the 90's! So trust me, Ryon:Lockhart is a breath of fresh air! Not only is their work gorgeous, they are a newlywed couple who are so in love themselves you can let down your guard and be yourselves around them. Our engagement photo session was so intimate and private and we completely forgot they were there during our reveal before the wedding ceremony! The directions they gave us and our wedding party during the formal photos were so helpful (guys, button your jackets! Hold up your bouquet like this so I can see the great brooch on it!). We were so frantic we had forgotten things like a fancy hanger for my dress or to pick a location for a reveal but they quickly came up with solutions that were absolutely perfect! The pictures came out amazing! Not only did they capture all the pics we had requested in our shot list, but they also got some great shots of things we didn't even think of. They really love what they do and it shows in the little details they captured. Shots of deers frolicking near the ceremony and the ring bearers playing Go Fish were some of our favorites! I would have to say that the best part of hiring Ryon:Lockhart has been all the compliments we have received since we've started sharing their photos. Their photos will always be the best souvenir of the most special day of our lives! Also, we don't want to ruin the surprise, but lets just say that the way they package and deliver the flash drives with all the photos was so classy and unique, it really was the icing on the cake! We wish we could give this vendor more stars, they are that worth it! We look forward to hiring them for future pregnancy and baby pictures in the future!

our busy wedding day. From the beginning, we loved their creativity and style. From shooting our engagement pictures to just emailing back and forth about wedding day plans, they always had great ideas and were incredibly flexible and gracious. I wanted to make sure my husband and I were comfortable around whoever we chose as a photographer and we definitely felt at ease around Sarah and Tim. From the moment they arrived, they were thrown in the chaos of the day and easily fell right in with everyone. Even our guests commented on how easy Sarah and Tim were to be around - they were never in the way and always went with the flow. Their amazing talent comes out in the beautiful pictures and we couldn't be happier to have worked with them. We are recommending Ryon:Lockhart Photography to everyone we know and look forward to working with them in the future!

coolest, most easy-going pair -- they make you feel so relaxed and at-ease, even if you're photo-shy like we are. They got every shot we would want without ever being in the way. And of course, the finished product -- so awesome. The photos were natural, pretty, relaxed -- they perfectly captured our vibe. I honestly think our guests were more appreciative of them and the photos than of anything else at our wedding! Sarah and Tim were a total pleasure to work with from start to finish. You won't be disappointed! PS do yourself a favor -- once you've booked them (and have I mentioned you should?), do the engagement session with them as well. It makes everything on the "day of" seem really easy and familiar, plus you have a whole other set of photos. What's not to love?

company that we had originally booked for our wedding. Some people think things happen for a reason. Well, if it weren't for our bad experience with our original photographer we would have missed out on working with RyonLockhart and having our memories captured exactly as we'd hoped they would! Sarah and Tim are professional and were in constant communication with us, they made us feel comfortable, were quick to provide us with our pictures, and they worked well with all of our other wedding vendors. They were very accommodating and on the day of the wedding they were virtually invisible while somehow capturing every important detail and moment! We've received tons of compliments on our wedding pictures and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a photography service. They will provide you with more pictures than you'll know what to do with and you'll have to somehow decide which ones to put in your wedding book because you can't fit them all! If you use RyonLockhart you won't be disappointed!!

their warm personality made us more comfortable in front of the cameras. Sarah & Tim edited and sorted the pictures in a timely manner. When we got to see them we were beyond thrilled. They capture every movement we were hoping for in the most elegant way. Our families will cherish these photographs for a lifetime!

photos. Even in some of the posed shots (for Mom and Dad of course!), they make you feel relaxed and take photos while you interact with each other, capturing what the day is really about. Since they are a team of photographers, they split up and can cover much more ground than only one photographer can. What's awesome is they have different photo styles that compliment each other. One of the greatest things about them is they don't charge you an arm and a leg to make copies of your photos. I asked Sarah about this once, and she said "There your photos!" They give you the DVD's of the photos and the pictures are yours to keep.

o many little exchanges in so many creative ways, it was really hard to choose which pictures to frame because we had so many choices. Also, Sarah and Tim are so low-key and laid back, they make even the most photo-phobic guests relax. They did our engagement pictures too, which everyone compliments us on as well. We are so happy with their work, we’ve recommended them to everyone we know who’s gotten married, and our friends and family who’ve used their services have been as thrilled with their work as we have. Thank you, Sarah and Tim, for capturing the essence of our wedding so beautifully. You guys are amazing!

rked tirelessly throughout the wedding to document every minute of our wedding and reception. They were all over the place, taking photos from every angle and location and catching so many shots of exuberant joy beaming from everyone's face. The preparation leading up to the event lent to the smoothness with which the day progressed. They prepared a checklist of our required photos, organized locations, and moved us through them quickly so everyone could continue to enjoy the wedding. As seasoned professionals, there communication and thoroughness helped to eliminate a lot of the potential stress associated with wedding planning. Lastly, the finished product is amazing. They caught the style, emotion and tone of the event perfectly. They had fantastic action shots, beautiful composition shots, and outstanding candid moments and all in a terrific ratio. If you made it this far, do yourself a favor and contact them about shooting your wedding, not only are they are simply superb at what they do, they are great people to work with.
