Ryan Estes Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to the Ryan Estes Photography Blog

I'm Ryan, and you'll often find me with camera in hand.  I live and work in the greater Philadelphia area providing brides, grooms, and families with cutting-edge photography.  Here you'll find the latest images, news, and bits of this and that from Ryan Estes Photography.  Come back often -- there's a lot happening, both in my life and in those of my clients.

What sort of images can you expect to see?  That's a difficult question to answer... photojournalism + fashion, portraiture + landscape, documentary + candid... real people on the most important day of their lives, and genuine emotions shining through.

One thing is clear: these aren't your grandmother's wedding pictures.  (No offense to your grandmother, of course...)

Old friends and babies

Becca and I grew up together… I literally don’t remember ever not knowing her. When we were 9 or 10 years old, her family moved down south. Since then we’ve only seen each other about once or twice a decade, so you’ll forgive me if it takes some getting used to when I...

Favorite time of year

I adore October/November. The weather gets cooler, the leaves turn and fall, and life just seems… better. Today was one of my favorite kinds: temperature in the high 50’s, a little rainy and overcast, perfect for wearing a sweater. I was bummed out because the local coffee shop was unexplicably closed just...

10.13.07 - Lori & Jon

Seems I’ve been doing quite a few local weddings lately… on Oct. 13, Lori & Jon were married fairly nearby, as you can see in the images below. Earlier this week, I was driving just a few blocks from my house and saw Lori waving at me from the window of the car in...
