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...)

Thursday, May 15, 2008 Posted in Misc, Slices of Life

Today Kelly told me that it’s been way too long (2 weeks) since I posted a picture of Vienna. Holy mackerel, she’s right!

Busy week

Thursday, May 1, 2008 Posted in Misc, Slices of Life

It’s been a busy week in more ways than one… aside from processing last weekend’s weddings, preparing for 3 shoots in the next 5 days, meeting up with other photographers, and trying to figure out what the heck is going on in Lost, there’s this whole new role of “dad” that I now get to...
