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...)

Phoenixville Country Club - Christie & Eric

Two days after Christmas I had the honor of shooting Christie & Eric’s wedding. They were married at the gorgeous St. Peter’s in the Great Valley, and then danced the night away at Phoenixville Country Club. I’ve already posted one image from Christie & Eric’s first glance, but now that I’ve finished editing the rest of the wedding, here are a few more that I like.

I won’t say much other than that it was a great day for two reasons: 1) Christie & Eric are both genuine and warm people, and even though I was there to work, they made me feel as welcome as their guests. 2) Ryan Goldman joined me for the day to add his talent to the mix, and some of my favorite images from the day are ones that he captured.

A few more from the first time they saw each other that day. This truly was among the most emotional times of the day.

Back story: After I shot their engagement pictures at the Wachovia Center where the Philadelphia Flyers play, Christie secretly ordered a big enlargement of her favorite shot and had it signed by the whole team. Here’s Eric, seeing it for the first time.

And of course, Christie dancing with her grandfather. When I met Christie & Eric for the first time, they stressed that it was important that I get shots of the grandparents!
