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...)

Monday, July 21, 2008 Posted in Misc

I’m in the running for best photographer on the My Fox Philly 2008 Hotlist! Consider this a campaign stop… you won’t see any bumper stickers with my name on it, and I probably won’t be kissing any babies (except my own) or blocking traffic with my motorcade, but I’d love your vote anyway… just...

Independence Day

Friday, July 4, 2008 Posted in Misc

Happy 4th, everyone.
For most of my life, “the Fourth of July” has simply been an excuse to get together with family, eat burgers, and watch fireworks. This year, though, Kelly and I watched HBO’s miniseries on John Adams, which was altogether excellent and gave me a rather great appreciation for the fellas who risked...

Back to work

Thursday, June 26, 2008 Posted in Family, Misc, Slices of Life

After far too few days in Sea Isle City, I’m back at work. The rest of my family is still at the shore sleeping in, getting sunburnt, sleeping some more, reading a lot, playing soccer on the beach, and washing sand out of hard-to-reach places… I came back early to shoot John & Kristen’s...
