Ryan & Denise Photography were so amazing to work with! I spent so much time researching potential…read morephotographers to capture my husband's and my wedding day. I don't even remember how I came across Ryan & Denise's Instagram, but I am SO GLAD that I did! A lot of the pages I had come across had a portfolio full of photos that were edited with either a yellow tinge or overly contrasted. I know nothing about the right verbiage to describe their editing style (lol), but it aligned with what I was looking for - light and airy/whimsical, while still remaining true to color.
When I reached out to them, they set up a Skype call that my husband, my parents, and I joined. From the start, both Ryan and Denise were so personable and sincere! Going into our own marriage while working with a married couple/photographers was so fun! You can tell that they have so much love and passion for each other and their family, which made us all feel so comfortable! As we got to know each other on the call, we felt so solidified in our decision to work with them. They are confident, organized, detail-oriented, and very talented!
They photographed us for an engagement shoot, which I would highly recommend! This helped us become familiar with different poses and also simply validated our decision to work with them even more. They worked out a whole timeline of our wedding day, from start to finish, and which pictures we would capture when. Their initiative and organization truly alleviated a lot of my stress!
On our big day, the bridal party was running a tad late to the venue, and we also had a little snafu with the flower delivery (couldn't find where the bouquets were dropped off). Despite these events, Ryan and Denise were able to keep us on track with our timeline. When it came time for Ryan and Denise to review the photos from our big day, they reach out to immediately notify us that they realized we missed something on our "shot-list". Amidst all the chaos of running late and whatnot, we forgot to photograph the ladies in a group picture. I did, however, still get all the individual shots as the bride with each bridesmaid and my mom. We appreciated them being forthcoming and "owning" the mistake and sincerely apologizing for it.
We purchased the wedding album package that includes 30 pages/15 spreads, and they added 6 more pages/3 more spreads as a little gift to us - such a nice touch and kind gesture!
All in all, we are so grateful for this duo. Thank you, both, for capturing the best day of our lives!!
