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...)

Busy weekend

Thursday, October 18, 2007 Posted in Misc, Portraits

Did anyone see the sky tonight? Long after the sun had set there was a brilliant soft glow in the clouds… it made me want to listen to good music* and take a walk with Kelly.
Anyway, I’m about to start a rather busy weekend. Tomorrow I shoot Sara & Seth’s wedding, then Saturday...

Cate’s senior portraits

Tuesday, October 16, 2007 Posted in Portraits

I spend most of my time shooting weddings, but I really have a lot of fun doing portrait sessions. Here are a couple from Cate’s senior session last Monday. Cate chose some natural settings over the urban locations I normally go to, so it was a fun challenge working without a lot of...

10.6.07 - Angela & Roy

Tuesday, October 16, 2007 Posted in Weddings

Most of the time when I’m shooting weddings I have to battle traffic for an hour or so just to get there… not so with Angela & Roy! They live in the same town I do, so I pretty much could have rolled out of bed and been there in 5 minutes. (Of...
