I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan for a couple of projects, and I couldn't be more…read moreimpressed with the results! While I know him primarily for his wedding photography, he also does incredible work capturing action sports, which is how we connected. I'm an avid surfer and skater, and he was kind enough to film me in both of those settings. What stood out most was how comfortable he made me feel in front of the camera. I've worked with other photographers in the past, but none of them have captured movement the way Ryan does. Whether I was catching a wave or landing a trick on my skateboard, he somehow managed to be in all the right spots without ever feeling intrusive. The shots were super dynamic, yet he still managed to make everything look effortless and natural. Beyond the amazing footage, the quality of the video and editing was top-notch. He's got a great eye for framing, and his attention to detail really brings out the best in every shot. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in his work. If you're looking for a photographer who can do it all--whether it's capturing your wedding day, or documenting your adventure sports--Ryan is your guy. I can't recommend him enough!

Ryan did an amazing job photographing our wedding! He was very professional, always on time,…read moreresponsive when communicating and meet all our requests. He has lots of experience and knew all the great poses. He gave me welcomed suggestions when I was being awkward lol with my beautiful bride. The images Ryan captured from our engagement and wedding photos are definitely the most beautiful images we own and we will cherish forever :) Thank you so much Ryan and his assistant (sorry I forgot her name) for capturing one of the best days of our lives!

Ryan is basically a magician!!! Our photos came out not only beautiful but also full of life and…read morejoy. Going through all the photos made me teary-eyed, laugh, and immediately wonder if it'd be weird to use our wedding photos as bedroom wallpaper (my s/o convinced me this was a no-go, haha!). Ryan is not only obviously an incredible photographer, but he's ridiculously fun to work with. Hours before our ceremony, we needed to change venues which I worried would ruin the day. Despite the haze of anxiety and panic, Ryan had us all laughing and feeling present and excited! He's fun and knows exactly what he's doing, which made everyone feel at ease. I'm notoriously awkward in photos, but with Ryan, I just felt comfortable and ridiculously stoked! Okay, one last thing about why you definitely need to book Ryan is he's extremely fast! We weren't expecting our photos until at least a month after the ceremony, but somehow two nights later I got a very happy surprise that they were done (like I said, he's a magician)! I feel so grateful that we had such an amazing photographer capture our special day and will forever use Ryan for any other special events!

OH MY GOD. STOP READING THESE REVIEWS. Your search is over and just book Ryan already!…read more I was initially drawn to his style because he can capture "in the moment" shots. The small looks and giggles between the staged shots. He was able to capture all of that. One of my favorite things about my photos was that he was able to capture my guests' genuine reactions during the wedding. He truly can rock the momemt. So talented! He knows how to pose people in small, medium, and large groups. He'll remind guests if they need to button any jackets to get that great shot. He knows how to incorporate the background so he isn't just taking pictures of people but really the entire environment. There is great balance in the photos. He was extremely flexible the day of. We had minor schedule changes and he just went with the flow. I am SOOOO grateful he was able to photograph our big day. THANK YOU RYAN!!

Savannah took our engagement photos in Lake Tahoe (pictured) and will also be our wedding…read morephotographer next year. There are so many things I can say about how wonderful and talented she is (and the photos truly speak for themselves), but I will break down a few of my favorite qualities in the following categories: Communication: Savannah prides herself on being an excellent communicator, and I can see why! She is super responsive to email and answered all of our questions so quickly and thoroughly. We gave Savannah a few pointers about what our vision was for the location of our shoot (expansive views, nature, forest, etc.), and she came through with amazing, well-researched and thoughtful recommendations. We ultimately chose Lake Tahoe based on her suggestion! She also kept us apprised of the timeline for our photoshoot day and what to expect. After our photoshoot, she sent us sneak peaks almost immediately. We were so impressed, and obsessed over our photos for weeks! Photography: Her skills are off the charts. She captures the best, most natural moments and makes you feel incredibly comfortable while doing it (even in freezing cold weather!). If you think you or your partner may be awkward, you have nothing to worry about. She has poses ready to go so you don't have to think too much. You just get to enjoy the day while she captures the magic. She is also very receptive to your own suggestions! If there is a pose you want to try or a specific picture you want to capture, she welcomes it. Personality: Savannah is the sweetest person. We had so much fun hanging out with her leading up to, during, and after our shoot. She is extremely easy to get along with and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and making this the best experience for them. Her work ethic is amazing to see: she puts an enormous amount of time and effort into making your photoshoot come out perfectly, and she does this on top of her super busy schedule. She also goes above and beyond. From the beginning, she answered my millions of questions and even researched dress options for me! We honestly had so much fun during our engagement shoot that we regularly reminisce and want to go back and redo it! :) TL;DR - If you are researching adventure photographers and you don't know what to do, book Savannah ASAP! We literally could not be happier with our experience and CANNOT WAIT for her to shoot our wedding!

I would certainly love to use her again for my own personal family photos! Thank you so much, Savannah! You are such a talent!

I have been wanting family pictures for years and never have been able to find time, a location, and someone that I trusted to have the same vision I did. Then boom I was referred by a friend who had the most beautiful family photos done and I knew I had to book my session. Ali was perfect in every way you can think of. She was fast at responding, so helpful in outfits, timing, and even tips on locations. Taking pictures can be stressful, overwhelming, and awkward but it was so much fun! We all shared laughs and even my teenager approved! It was one of our most special evenings on the beach. I can't wait to book my next session! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

My wife and I had the much anticipated pleasure of having Daniel Frasier as our Wedding…read morephotographer. We say "much anticipated" because he was recommended to us by our wedding planner, "The Event Loft". And we were very happy for the recommendation. Daniel's photography captured the essence of our wedding day. He did so with sensitivity, insight and artistic interpretations of many of the important moments of our Wedding and Reception. His use of the natural, evening atmosphere illuminated with the scores of table candles and overhead market lights was spectacular! He brought even more energy to the day with the facial photographs of our family and friends. His photography artistically painted the true happiness of the day! Ultimately, Daniel delivered the finished photographs by a flash drive that was elegantly placed in a small, wooden box wrapped with a silk ribbon. We were so impressed by Daniel's simple presentation and creative capturing of the precious, fleeting moments of our Wedding and Reception. We thank Daniel for his artistic interpretations and thoughtful photography in keeping the happiest day of our lives with us forever. Recommending Daniel will always be a pleasure and an honor. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ringo

He is fantastic at getting his clients to relax in front of the camera so that he can capture genuine moments between you and your loved one. My husband and I both don't feel "natural" in front of the camera, but luckily for us, Daniel is a talented photographer and pose coach rolled into one! We had an amazing time on our engagement shoot - way more fun than we thought possible. Daniel is hardworking, understanding, and very generous with his time and expertise, and even gave us feedback on other aspects of the wedding planning process. We love our wedding photos and can't wait to receive our album! Bottom line: if you're like us (what do we do with our hands??), do yourself a big favor and give Daniel a call!

All I can say is Brett is truly a master at his craft. Shooting photos all day is surprisingly a lot of work, but Brett made it very fun. And the end result was something better than we could have ever imagined. I will be honest - these weren't your typical engagement photos. And really, we didn't want the typical engagement photos. These were better. More personal. If you're in need of engagement photos or anything similar, I strongly suggest you keep Hilly Collective in mind. He professional. He's fun. And most importantly, his work is amazing.

Not to mention his very professional, yet fun attitude the entire time. His calm demeanor (even while working among some very stressed out ladies! LOL) was so very appreciated. Weddings can be insanely stressful and having someone there who is calm, collected and professional is so important. He went above and beyond outside of his photography to help in so many other ways as well with the groom who is a quadriplegic. The bride and groom had a gorgeous, incredible wedding and working with Brett Hillyard made it an even better experience for all involved. Thank you Hilly Collective!!
