“Ryan took beautiful photos of our wedding, was there to capture all the moments without being noticed. Neither of us enjoy being photographed but he made us feel super relaxed and we actually enjoyed the whole experience! He took time to get to know us and went above and beyond capturing beautiful shots before and during the wedding. He was expert at judging the best places and light so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. He also made it feel really natural and is generally a really nice guy which helps. Would certainly recommend.

“We cant begin to tell you how awesome you are and how you did such an incredible job photographing our wedding. You were so easy to get along with and made us feel comfortable, like we’d known you for years.”

“Ryan captured our special day perfectly. He was so easy to be around and made us feel so relaxed, it was like we’d known him for years! His communication pre and post wedding was also amazing. We couldn’t recommend him enough!””

“We loved having Ryan as our photographer. We are so thrilled with both our engagement and wedding photos, he captured the day superbly, and we have so many beautiful photos to look back on forever. Ryan himself was also a delight, and was a lovely, relaxed presence to have around on our special day. He made us both feel really comfortable in front of the camera.”

“We were absolutely blown away by the quality of photos Ryan produced for us on our special day. Despite the very poor Wellington weather on the day, this didn’t matter as Ryan still made our photo shoots fun, artistic, and better than I could have ever imagined. Ryan’s vibe was also super relaxed and he was a bit of a ninja! Appearing in all kinds of places to get some great shots, while being subtle about it. I would 100% recommend Ryan to anyone!”

“Ryan was an absolutely incredible wedding photographer in every way and I can’t recommend him enough. He really listened to what we wanted and helped us to relax during the chaos of our surprise wedding and was extremely flexible when unexpected bad weather hit. He took a lot of stress off our shoulders! Our photos turned out stunning and captured our day in a way that was so authentic to us as a couple.”

“Ryan photographed our wedding and engagement and I cannot speak highly enough of the entire experience! We had never had any photos taken and Ryan took us under his wing and helped us so to feel so comfortable and confident during the shoots. On our wedding day Ryan went above and beyond making sure everyone was where they needed to be and we were all running to time so we could get all the shots we were after and still have plenty of time to relax with guests and enjoy our day. The photos we received back blew us away - Ryan really captured the ‘magic’ and love of our day and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the emotion and fun of your day Ryan is your guy!”

“A friend of a friend. Recommend Ryan to us and it was the best decision we ever made. Who was opening to hearing exactly what we wanted and how he could create that for us. On the day he was a calming presence. He was never intrusive and was always just hovering in the background. His work absolutely speaks for itself. His experience shines through and his photos, he didn’t need to be directed and organised small shots that I wouldn’t even think of that I now treasure. More than we ever could’ve dreamt. not hiring him is the biggest regret you’ll ever ever make”

“Ryan is absolutely the best photographer we’ve ever worked with! We’ve had four shoots with him now and I just can’t recommend him enough. The first time was for our engagement which involved an eight hour hike up the Tararuas which he did with us. I wanted to give up after an hour, but he was super supportive and we kept going! Once we got our photos back, every step was worth it! So, our wedding choice was a no brainer. He arrived on the day and just got to work. He was professional and didn’t make us feel awkward at all – he was super easy to work with, chill and everything felt really natural. Fast forward a couple years and we asked him to take some family photos for us and there was no hesitation. I thought the sessions would be really difficult because of young kids and babies but he made it super comfortable and I love every photo we get back. He takes amazing photos, captures all the emotions and his portfolio really speaks for itself. He is simply the best!”

“We met Ryan when he was the photographer for my brother’s wedding, and we decided he was the one and only option for ours too as he was fun, funny, laid-back and took the most amazing photos!
We particularly loved our engagement shoot in the Tararuas. The photo enlarged on our living room wall of us in the hills is literally my favourite photo in the world. Ryan is easy-going, reliable and organised, he gets excited when the light changes and does pretty things, and he manages to get amazing shots of you even if you’re a bit awkward in front of a camera. He captured our wedding day perfectly. Also if your engagement shoot involves an overnight hike like ours did he is guaranteed to choose the best bottle of wine to keep you hydrated that evening.”

“Ryan was our wedding photographer for our wedding in February at Mount Maunganui, and he was absolutely incredible. We couldn’t be happier with the results; his photography is stunning, and he has a real talent for making any location look beautiful. I was particularly nervous and camera shy, but Ryan made me feel completely comfortable. He was so personable and friendly that we even asked him to stay for dinner; it felt like he was part of the celebration. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!”

“Ryan has photographed our family multiple times, capturing those special moments so they can last forever. Not only a great photographer but a great person. He makes you feel so comfortable, just what you need when you are feeling a little nervous of your photos being taken and wanting natural, in the moment memories and timeless style.
I would recommend Ryan to anyone!”

“Ryan photographed our day in a beautifully raw and undisturbed way. He moved around quietly and non intrusively. Some of the best pictures of our day are of our friends and family simply laughing and enjoying themselves”

“Ryan is exceptional! We were so lucky to have him as our wedding photographer. From the first conversation he was so kind, organised and listened to exactly what we were after! Being casual people with no experience in front of a camera his unimposing nature and impeccable timing meant he captured so many special fleeting moments on the day. We are so grateful to have so many beautiful shots we can now always treasure.”

“We got married in Wellington in January 2024 and Ryan (and second shooter Cerys) captured our day perfectly! The candid photos as well as the more posed photos were fantastic and Ryan made sure we got a mixture of nature and urban shots for our couple photos - he knew the best spot in Mt Vic. While it felt a bit unusual to have people following us with cameras - Ryan made us feel at ease and coaxed us into poses that really showed us off at our best. In the lead up to the wedding we had really good communication from Ryan about the plan for the day and even some last minute back up plans in case the weather packed in. When the sneak peak first few photos came through while we were on our honeymoon we were very impressed! And when the full set came through it was so hard to pick what to get printed. Highly recommend!”

“We have had 3 photo sessions so far with Ryan and they have all been exceptional. We hired Ryan as our wedding photographer, chosen first for his style, but his personality is what locked it in. Ryan has an amazing eye for detail and composition and his photos surpass our expectations every time! Having Ryan and his second shooter, Cerys, as our photographers on our wedding day was so much fun. It was just like having friends around. Ryan makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and his jokes make for great smiles. Ryan’s experience with events is evident in the way he plans ahead and pivots on the day, how well he can herd people into photos, and how he finds the most beautiful backgrounds (even if it involves tramping through mud and climbing sand dunes). We treasure all of the memories that Ryan has captured for us and look forward to having more captured over the coming years.
We can’t recommend Ryan enough for family or event photos.”

“A couple of days before the wedding, Ryan went out on his own to the locations we had taken him and he scouted out the best spots. His above and beyond preparation made our photoshoot a very enjoyable moment in our day. We felt relaxed, unhurried and it flowed very smoothly”

“Having worked with Ryan for many years when we decided to get married we had to check his availability to photograph the big day before confirming our date! Ryan is calm under pressure, magically invisible during the ceremony, and under control during the creative shoot ensuring the best of every moment is captured during the day. We could not be more thrilled with our wedding photos and love looking back at them to relive the day. I strongly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to have their wedding captured by a creative professional with an easy going nature, and who wants an amazing collection of timeless photos to enjoy for many years to come.”

“Ryan stayed all night to deliver us an outstanding collection of the entire day. His photographs are beautiful, composed and sensitive – everything you would expect of a great professional wedding photographer”

“Ryan perfectly captured our day. Not only were the photos stunning, he made the whole experience fun, relaxing and memorable”
