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...)

Ram’s Head Inn - Dawn & Andy

One of my goals for 2009 is to be better at blogging wedding images very soon after I shoot it… so far, so good! Dawn & Andy were married today (well, yesterday, as I type this) at the Absecon Methodist Church in Absecon, NJ, followed by a great party at the Ram’s Head Inn. The day was a lot of fun, and COLD! I was happy to have Paul Eaton join me for the day, and we made the most of it.

I started the day out at Dawn’s parents’ house for some getting ready shots.

I love this one… Dawn’s family waiting to see her when she came down the stairs in her dress.

Like I said… COLD… like high of 18 degrees or something ridiculous. Dawn was fantastic, and brought the magic anyway.

Finally we decided to get the rest of the shots inside at the Ram’s Head.

This tree came from Dawn’s parents yard, very cool. (This is just a tiny piece, it’s really a lot bigger…)

The Jack Goodman Orchestra was amazing as well.
