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!!

My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose Stevie Dee Photography to capture our wedding…read moreday! From our very first phone call, we felt like we had known Stevie and her husband, Ryan, forever. They are professional, fun, incredibly responsive, and truly passionate about what they do. Stevie went above and beyond during the planning process making the experience feel personal and special. We loved having our engagement photo session with Stevie and Ryan as it gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, learn their style, and most importantly, have fun! The session felt more like a date night than a posed photoshoot, and we genuinely enjoyed hanging out with them. On our wedding day, Stevie and Ryan weren't just our photographers--they were our support system. Whether it was keeping us on schedule, making sure we got all the group shots we wanted, hyping us up when we needed energy, or being a calming presence in emotional moments, they were there for us every step of the way. We are absolutely blown away by our wedding gallery! Stevie and Ryan managed to capture every emotion of the day--from the quiet sentimental moments, to us dancing our hearts out on the dance floor, and everything in between. Looking through our photos, we're able to relive the magic of our wedding day over and over again. Stevie Dee Photography didn't just take pictures; they told our story beautifully and supported us throughout the wedding process. We are so grateful for them and HIGHLY recommend!

After a friend recommended her and I reached out via her website, she was quick to get back to me, and very kind, helpful, and communicative every step of the way. On the day we took our photos, she brought great energy and knew exactly how to direct us. Helping us relax in front of the camera and figure out what to do with our hands, where to look, etc. made such a big difference -- and the result was gorgeous, flattering photos that we will cherish for years to come!

My dad has instilled how important capturing the major events of your life is ever since I was little so I knew photography/videography was one major thing that we needed to do right. Also because we wanted my dad to enjoy the wedding instead of flittering around with his own camera and forgetting to eat. We reached out to LMP in November 2021 and finalized the Platinum package contract which includes 8 hours of photography, videography with drone (my dad was chuffed), and a photo booth in February 2022 with Ashley. Ashley has been phenomenal guiding us through the process and being incredibly responsive in all our correspondence. We felt like we were in great hands when working with her! Closer to our wedding date, she sent us thorough questionnaires to ensure they had everything correct for the day of the wedding and we also had a short call with our lead photographer Beth as well. The day of the wedding, my friends and I had a small moment to relax and munch on snacks after our make up artists left but as soon as Beth and her team arrived, that's when we hit the ground running. There are a lot of moving parts but the team made every transition so smooth that none of us felt overwhelmed. Beth and her team were so warm and kind that all our nervousness just melted away and we were able to really enjoy the day. You want us to fake laugh? You got it. You want us to debate between fast food chains so we look like we're talking? You got that too. LMP/The Studio is hands down one of our best investments for our wedding and we highly recommend working with them! They are with you nearly entire day of the wedding from start to finish so you want to have a team you can vibe with and make you feel relaxed and happy while they guide you through the big day. They are such a open and bubbly group, it almost feels like you've known them for forever. Our sneak peeks just arrived Saturday night and the results are absolutely gorgeous! We cannot wait to see the rest of the products. We truly appreciate Beth, Sheryl, Ryan, and Paul for being there with us on this day and capturing this special moment in our lives. Y'all worked with a really awkward bunch of friends and our photos came out stunning! We and our friends seriously miss this team already and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can't imagine getting married without you guys being there. PS: if you have puppies involved at your wedding like we did, Beth is a dog whisperer and can get your overly excited puppies to pose.

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

From the very beginning, communication was seamless. Anytime we had questions (or wedding-planning anxiety), Cody was quick to respond and always made us feel supported and reassured. Ryan filmed our wedding day, and honestly, you would have thought he was part of the family. He made everyone feel comfortable and brought such a fun, natural energy to the day. We told both Cody and Ryan that we wanted an authentic, candid wedding video; something that captured the silly, emotional, and real moments ..and WOW did they deliver! Even when Ryan gave us direction, it never felt stiff or awkward. He guided us in a way that still allowed us to be completely ourselves, which meant everything to us. The drone footage was such an incredible bonus. Halfway down the aisle, my veil fell off (classic me ), and not only did they capture it, they somehow made it look elegant and cinematic. It's one of our favorite moments. If you want a wedding video that you, your partner, and your guests will actually watch over and over again, hire The Wedding Memory!You absolutely will not regret it! Thank you for everything! -- Kaela & Chris

It was more than we could have ever expected, beautifully shot, perfectly edited, and captured every emotion and moment in a way that feels timeless.

Highly recommended 20/10!
