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...)

Cescaphe Ballroom - Sue & Matt

I was excited to shoot Sue & Matt’s wedding because it’s exactly the type of event I love shooting: a high-energy city wedding! I had gotten to know them both a few months ago when I shot their engagement photos, and I knew it was going to be a glamorous affair all-around.

I also got to work with a great group of people… joining me for the day was Joy Moody, and if you’ve been following this blog for any length of time you know we like to work together whenever we have the chance. Perfect Planners did an amazing job making sure the day came off without a hitch any problems, and Kenneth Stillman Video was there to document the day as well.



Sue looked gorgeous, of course.





Joy took this one of Matt right before the ceremony.



Another shot of Joy’s… Sue specifically asked for this one and we were happy to oblige…





It was the largest wedding party of 2008! I was shooting the girls and one of the groomsmen loved the camera enough to jump in…







Who says you can’t shoot underground?





Sue & Matt were awesome… it was COLD but they braved it!



See? All that white stuff? Snow!







Then it was over to the Cescaphe Ballroom for the party, where Don’t Call Me Francis had the dance floor packed! The room was beautiful, and the details were amazing.

















Did I mention the food? The food was incredible!



All in all, a great day! Sue & Matt: thanks for everything!

January 7, 2009 - 3:24 pm Dawn - I'm so impressed Ryan. You took such lovely winter shots (even though light was scarce). I can't wait to see your shots of our 1-17-09 wedding! The black and white portrait is stunning - she looks like a model!
