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!!

She was incredibly patient, gentle, and clearly very experienced with newborns. She knew exactly how to care for and safely position our baby, always making sure she was comfortable and calm throughout the entire session.

She never rushed us, took her time to get the perfect shots, and handled our baby with so much care and confidence. The photos came out absolutely beautiful better than we could have imagined. If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, and amazing with newborns, I highly recommend her. We will cherish these photos forever!

My fiancé and I kept looking at our photos and saying, wow he has such a good eye!! *chefs kiss. The entire experience went so smoothly. He gave just the right amount of guidance while still letting us be ourselves. I truly felt like he captured our vision in terms of how we wanted our engagement photos to look like!! If our engagement photos came out this beautiful, I'm even more excited to see what he captures on our wedding day. So happy we chose him!! o

We were very particular about the style and the feel we wanted for our photos, and his work aligned perfectly with our vision and taste. We knew instantly that we had to hire him. From the first conversation, Josh was easygoing, and understood exactly what we were looking for. On the wedding day, the photography team (Shout out to Eli!) managed to keep everything feeling calm and natural while still capturing every important moment. What we love most about the photos is how real they feel. Most of the photos were candid, organic, and nothing felt forced or overly posed. They were able to capture the moments, happy tears, laughter, dancing, and all the little in-between moments. We also got the photos back in record time! Looking through our gallery brought us right back to the day, and that's such a gift in itself. We'll treasure these photos forever. We're so grateful for the care, talent, and heart Josh and Eli put into their work, and we honestly couldn't recommend them more. Thank you from the bottom of our heart Josh/Eli. You guys captured our vibe and love in a way that felt authentic and fun, and we're so grateful. Also, the photos were so high quality, that we were able to use them to create a vinyl cover for our audio guest book! If we had to do this over again, we'd hire Josh in a heartbeat! Best decision made ever! Thank you! Kevin and Sunny :)

Never have I had this much of a tiring and frustrating experience with a person of business. My daughters Quincenera was on March 12 2022 and I barely got my wallet pictures on August 30th. The hall had also initially recommended her as the choreographer, the week before practice was supposed to begin she tells me that she cannot do the Sunday anymore and I would have to pick a different day. I could not pick a different day because one of the chambelanes would have to drop out. She found me someone else who was also charging $700 but told that lady to only make sure she showed me two songs. The lady thankfully said she did her own methods and actually did about 5 songs since she was very detailed. Throughout the process for the photographer I had to be the one to constantly check in and ask if she needed anything for the slideshow etc. She always seemed so unorganized and on the day of she was even 20 minutes late. She failed to mention that my daughter needed a red dress to coordinate her next to her Quincenera dress, she asked me the day of. She told me she did not have to be dressed just hair and make up done just to be told the day of that she needed the dress. She had told me the pictures would take a few months, I reached out on 4/20 at 7:14 in the morning asking for an update. No answer until I tried to call her which she ignored and responded at 6:37pm stating she was busy and would call me back at 9:30pm. She never called me to which I reached out on 4/21 at 930pm, she did not respond until 4/22 @11:04am. She said she could meet me that week after to deliver my stuff. She said Friday evening worked best but I did schedule her for 5/6 as I would have my daughter with me that day. I asked her if 6pm worked and she said yes. I messaged her that morning on 5/6 at 3:12 asking if we can meet at 5pm, no response. I called her and she told me she forgot we had an appointment. She said that she would call me back. She did not call me back, on 5/9 @7:17 am I reached out asking for a status, to which she responded she worked all weekend and when she went to the lab my pictures were not there. She said she would have them Tuesday 5/10. I asked her if we can do Thursday she said she was busy so I scheduled for Tuesday 5/10, I asked her if we can do 630 to which she said she needed to beat traffic and wanted to meet at 7 or 8pm. I asked her if 7 worked and no response, I text her again at 10 am she did not respond. I text her again at 11:33am and she finally said 7 was fine. She messaged me Tuesday 5/10 at 6:34 pm stating she was barely leaving and she would take an hour and 20 minutes. I was upset and called her to only find out it would not make sense to meet me Tuesday since she actually did not have my daugthers video and "she could see how upset I was." We agreed to meet Thursday (the day she said she was busy). She actually made it on time and she then told me she didnt realize I ordered the bigger package she thought I ordered he basic. She did not realize it came with a big portrait and she also forgot my wallets. She did not tell me how long it would take for my acrylic book on 5/27, no response. I messaged her again 5/31, no response. Finally I had to call her and she told me to text her my email to review pictures. She said she would send me an email I got no email, I messaged her on 6/20 asking her for the email, she was out of the office and said she would resend it. 6/22 I sent her another message because I got no email. I was once again ignored and messaged her on 6/24. She finally sends me the link hours later. I had my daughter review pictures and sent her a message on 6/29 that they were a go. Finally 7/28 pictures were ready but unfortunately my daugthers dad had covid so I scheduled the appointment for 8/11. She arrived but once again did not have my wallets or big portrait. She said she had forgot and had to send me a text for a reminder. She said this would only take a week, I waited patiently and messaged her on 8/26 asking for a status. She said Tuesday at 5pm, she messaged me Tuesday at 4:50 saying she was going to be there at 5:30 pm. I was there on time at 5 and waited, it was 5:30 she had not arrived. I called her and she said she was running late. Not only was she already late to our 5pm appointment she was late to being late. I was furious, she lacked even apologizing upon arrival. I called the hall and let them know and then she finally decided to apologize. This lady should not be in this industry she has no etiquette, no consideration for your time, and thinks time revolves around her. Please do not use her, she also gave me $30 off out of the 2k I paid her which was a slap in the face. The picture is of the screenshot where she finally apologized.
