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...)

Back to work

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...

These shoes were made for crawlin’

One of the nice things about becoming a parent is that suddenly the gifts start pouring in. Even if you were the kid to whose birthday party no one showed up*, let alone buy you presents, all you have to do is have a child and you become gift central. It’s great.
