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...)

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...

Some fun in Philly

Monday, December 8, 2008 Posted in Misc, Other Photogs, Portraits

Sometimes people are surprised when they find out that a lot of photographers are friends with each other. After all, we’re the competition, right? That’s one way to look at it… but it’s also a lot of fun just to get together, share ideas, hang out, and challenge each other to grow in...

Paying it forward

Monday, November 3, 2008 Posted in Other Photogs, Portraits

A few weeks ago I shot a portrait session for Sofia Negron, another Philadelphia photographer, and her daughter, for John Michael Cooper’s “Roadside Families” project. (Read all about it here: http://www.roadsidefamilies.com/) The idea is that photographers rarely have photos taken of their own families, so this is a pay-it-forward deal… a few weeks...
