Our Myrtle Beach family photo session was absolutely incredible…read more Ryan was amazing to work with--he made the whole experience feel easy, fun, and stress-free (even with kids!). He truly has a gift for capturing genuine moments, and we ended up with so many beautiful photos that we'll treasure forever. We gifted this session to our parents for Christmas, and it turned out to be such a special and meaningful surprise. Being able to capture our family during this season of life meant everything. We loved it so much that we're already planning to make this a tradition every year on vacation. If you're ever in Myrtle Beach, we can't recommend this enough!

I had a family vacation planned in Myrtle Beach, where I wanted to get professional family pictures…read moretaken while we were there. I browsed Google searches and came across Ryan Smith Photography. Going through his portfolio of pictures online, I knew he would be a good fit for what we were after... fun, candid, beach, etc. Ryan had great communication from the start through the whole process- about setting dates, payment options, meet up details, parking logistics, processing time, etc. He gave great instructions on where to meet and we followed to the nearby park he suggested. The location was great, offering a mix of different picture background options, in addition to the beach pictures, which was a nice bonus to mix up the pictures we had available to us at the end. We had a group of 7, ages ranging from seniors to teenagers. Ryan was great at suggesting ideas, poses, and what angles to shoot from. He also let us come up with a few ideas to add to the mix of picture options. He was super flexible! We were shooting for probably a good 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Ryan is very personable and made us feel comfortable! You can really tell this by the results of our pictures, where no one seemed uncomfortable or stiff. We all had fun and had a lot of laughs that he was able to really capture for us. Overall I would recommend Ryan and his skills for anyone looking for family pictures, weddings, senior pictures, etc. He truly is so talented and I (and my whole family) were very impressed with the results. Thank you Ryan for everything! I had been wanting to get updated pictures done for so long and I'm so glad we got connected to make it happen, I couldn't be more pleased with the experience or the results!

Peggy was wonderful to work with. My family was in Myrtle Beach just for the week on vacation and…read morePeggy was very accommodating and had great suggestions for locations and even provided suggestions on what to wear. Great communication leading up to the day of our photo shoot. She was sure we got all of the pictures we had discussed prior to the shoot and she worked so well with the two young kids in our group (4 1/2 & 1 1/2 year old boys). She gave them breaks when she could tell they needed it. My family really enjoyed working with her and we love how our pictures turned out! Beautiful memories we will have for a lifetime from one of our favorite places! Thank you again Peggy!

We wanted to get some family photos while there.

Thank you so much!!

We are extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the photos sold to us by Amber-Drew. The quality…read moreof her pictures were average or slightly better than average, but the post-processing is atrocious. Nearly every photo has excessive vignetting (dark edges) that give the pictures a spooky look, not at all appropriate for family beach photos. Furthermore, she poorly superimposed fake sunsets in the background of our photos. The end result was not at all a professional quality set of photos. To make matters worse, after receiving the set of photos 3 weeks later than promised, I contacted Amber-Drew and requested she send us photos without the poor post processing mentioned in the first part of this review. She initially refused to do so, but finally sent a link where the files could be downloaded without her editing. This link, however, was to extremely low resolution versions of the photos that cannot be printed. I've attempted to resolve these issues with Amber-Drew by email and by text, but have received no response. I do not recommend use of this photographer.

This was one of the hardest reviews to write. It's taken months to formulate these words, yet it…read morestill doesn't feel like enough. To say Pasha goes above and beyond is an understatement. His work and work ethic speak for itself, yet he still managed to do FAR more than any bride and groom would ever expect or hope with their photographer. But he doesn't do it for praise, reviews, or financial means - it's evident that he does it because he's genuinely passionate about his work and helping his clients in any and every way possible. The kindness and compassion, his outgoing and warm personality that can make anyone feel at ease, his raw talent and creative eye, his effortless ability to capture natural, real, emotional pictures - it can't be simply described with words, it can only experienced. My husband and I's wedding was 5 months ago and I feel I still haven't fully processed how moving, intimate, and emotional the day was. I've come to realize that weddings are one of those times that won't ever be able to be fully described with mere words. But that's okay, because we have countless, priceless pictures that capture and show more than we could ever say. Our parents, bridal party, and even our guests kept telling us how friendly, lively, and professional our photographers were. It was nothing that we didn't already know, but it was heartwarming to hear because Pasha is the one vendor we were MOST excited about (and we had amazing people helping us). As a person and a photographer, he's truly one of a kind. He was the first vendor that we booked. We actually reached out to him BEFORE we got engaged because his work stood out to us that much - like no other photographer we've seen - we didn't want to wait and miss the opportunity to have him as our photographer. From the beginning to the end, we had all of our trust and confidence in Pasha; we knew we were in good hands with him. We can't express our gratitude to Pasha and his wife Natallia for all that they did for us. They're immensely talented, kindhearted people, and Grant and I wish that we could work with them every year.

I cannot thank them enough for laughing with us through our awkwardness to capture our engagement and wedding. He knows all the SC locations which was a big plus too! He also captured wonderful candids which was a big reason I chose him. My only suggestion would be to offer [somewhat] cheaper photo print options - I don't need the museum quality for some 5x7s around the house and such :).

We originally had a photographer planned prior but she fell through last minute. We found out from…read moreseveral photographers in the area that the photographer was a novice and new to the scene so there wasn't a great review on her from their perspective. Went on Yelp to find a photographer for family photos last minute and stumbled upon 777 portraits and TJ was very professional from the get go when I called him for available times. Was able to set up a session that same day later on with Stevie (very chill, personable guy) and made our photo session fun and listened to what we wanted in our shots. Photos came out great and Stevie even texted me telling me that they were uploaded and ready to view in 48 hours after our session! Thank you again 777 Potraits and team! You saved our family trip with the last minute pick up!!
