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...)

Go ahead, laugh at me

Late last year a few other photographers and I met up in town to have some fun and shoot (I know, it seems like we do this all the time, but that’s not really the case). Pete from First Floor Films was there to capture it all on video, and this morning I checked...

Philly Photog. Shootout

Thursday, January 22, 2009 Posted in Misc, Other Photogs

Getting together with other photographers is something I love doing. (WHAT? The competition?!) Yep. It’s sort of a chance to get out of the office these cold winter months, blow off some steam, learn from each other, and just have a good time. Rob from Humbled Eyes organized this event...

Career class!

Thursday, January 22, 2009 Posted in Misc

Earlier this month a friend of mine, Mr. Culbert, asked me to come and speak to his 8th grade career class at one of the local high schools. It was a lot of fun talking to these kids about photography, what it takes to get started as a photographer, what my day-to-day working life...
