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!!

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

We can't say enough great things about The Wedding Memory and our videographer, Ryan. From the…read moremoment he arrived, he made us feel completely comfortable. He was patient, upbeat, and honestly the perfect hype man without ever feeling intrusive. On such a big (and nerve-wracking) day, he brought a calming presence that we didn't even know we needed. When we received our finished wedding video, we were blown away. 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. Watching it back brought us right back to the day, and we're so grateful. If you're considering The Wedding Memory, do it. And if you're lucky enough to have Ryan and Cody, you're in the best hands. Highly recommended 20/10!

The booking process was seamless and she is quick to respond. Only a week after our maternity photos, we received proofs- way quicker than I expected. She has a variety of package options that can fit into any budget. We booked a petite session with it just being the two of us, and had TONS of beautiful images to choose from-- Which brings me to my next point. This lady is so talented. The lighting and posing were timeless and natural. She knows exactly how to direct you to capture your best angles, and make you feel totally comfortable while doing so. If you are looking for a photographer to capture beautiful timeless photographs of you and your loved ones, look no further. Seriously these are like the photos you see of people thinking, how are they so photogenic? How are these so artistic? But insert yourself in the photo. I definitely hope to book for future family photos once our little girl makes her appearance.

Then she captured our wedding Jul2019 when I was 7 months pregnant and she made me look and feel so gorgeous in all my photos. Recently, we did a small photo shoot for my sons 1st birthday and again she nailed it. She's very easy to communicate with, knows exactly what she is doing, and makes you feel super comfortable during the shoot. Her prices are also very fair and she works with you to get what you want. We love Lianna and hope to book her again in the future. If you are looking for a photographer, look no more!

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 :)

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!
