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...)

Amanda & Ben

Monday, June 30, 2008 Posted in Portraits

I do love shooting engagement sessions… what could be better than meeting cool people and taking pictures at great (and unconventional) locations?

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot some portraits for Amanda & Ben. They’re getting married in Canada so sadly I won’t be shooting their wedding, but I’ll take what I can get! Because Ben had worked at HersheyPark for about 8 years, they decided that’s where they wanted their session to take place.





Making the best of some seriously hard light!





Yes, I really did take my cameras on the roller coaster! (It was a little one.)







Amanda gets totally robbed playing skee-ball.







I just love this last one… maybe not the sharpest picture I took all day, but it really sums up how I felt as a kid after a long day of fun at the amusement park.



Thanks, Amanda & Ben. Have a blast at your wedding!
