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...)

As I’ve said before, it’s quite a different experience having your photo taken instead of being the one holding the camera. I had to overcome a bit of self-consciousness a few weeks...

Luke’s senior portraits

I have so much fun shooting senior portraits… generally people who ask me to shoot theirs are looking to depart from the standard pose-with-your-flute (or giant “2008″ plastic cutout) shots. (I thought about posting my own senior portrait but lucky for me I don’t have a good scanner… sorry to disappoint! No one...

11.3.07 - Elizabeth & Robb’s wedding

First off, let me say thank you for all of your congratulations as Kelly and I look forward to welcoming little Prudence and Clive into the world… did I mention it’s twins? (Okay, that was a lie. Nope, not twins. Nope, those aren’t any names we’re considering, and nope, I’m not going to...
