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...)

Here’s a hint: She is small, she is (or will be) cute, and she was due to arrive yesterday.

Can you tell we’re a little impatient?
(Yes, we’re aware that crib bumpers aren’t good for babies, they’re only in there to give the room some color and will be coming out when she arrives…)

40 years later

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King’s assassination. If you have never taken the time to watch his entire “I Have a Dream” speech, I’d encourage you to do so. That’s all I will say… his words are more powerful than mine will ever be.
