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...)

Something wonderful you should know and love*

Thursday, October 4, 2007 Posted in Misc

Today is an edit day, and I’m processing photos from a wedding I shot earlier in September. Usually as I do this I listen to music (a list of Top 5 Artists I Like This Week would include: The Be Good Tanyas, Iron & Wine, Emmylou Harris, Damien Rice, and, in harken-back-to-high-school sort...

Album fever!

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 Posted in Misc, Weddings

I’m in the middle of catching up on my album designs for this summer’s weddings… this is one of my favorite parts of the process. Not because it’s easy (it ain’t) or because it’s quick (I’ve been up since 3am this morning, unable to sleep for whatever reason, finishing a design for Laura &...
