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...)

Sarah & Matt - Trash the Dress

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Posted in Portraits, Weddings

Matt & Sarah were married last May and it was a fantastic wedding. Sarah had said she wanted to do a Trash the Dress session (which basically means taking all the photos we’d LIKE to do on the wedding day but can’t because don’t want to get the dress dirty/wet/whatever) but because she & Matt live in Ohio, we had to wait until just after their 1-year anniversary to make it happen.

It was a blast…Matt joined in on the fun too!















We took some shots that didn’t require dress-trashing, too…



I love the gritty feel to this one.



And of course, on such a hot day, we wound up in a fountain…

These photographs are incredible...magazine quality if I might say so. But then, considering the job you did on their wedding, I expected this kind of quality. Thank you so much.
