I was part of a wedding party when I first met Brad! He is energetic, kind, fun, personable, and everybody loved him. I hired him for my wedding and he was FANTASTIC! He is laid back yet directive in the kindest way, and that is exactly what you want on your wedding day! I was thankful he took over guiding the wedding party where to go for photos so we could sit back and enjoy our day. Our wedding party, family, and all our guests raved about how great he was! He kept the day running smoothly and kept us on time, captured all the moments we wanted, and very easy to communicate with! One of the nicest and most talented photographers around!

Brad’s photography is beyond what I’ve seen from anyone else’s wedding. He is very laid back and was easy to plan our day with. We had him come on our 3 hour party bus and he basically led the show so we could relax and “party.” We hit our preferred picture spot, then let his experience guide us and found absolutely incredible areas to photograph us. Throughout the rest of our day he moved quick and seemed to be everywhere at once. Many guests described him as a “ninja” or the like. He was there to get a great shot when you needed him. We didn’t know when he had the time but also photographed the venue and Decor extensively. He was personable, fun, reliable, professional and downright talented. His experience was obvious. MANY guests told us they loved Brad and apparently my husband’s smile is only second to his lol. Brad was THE premier vendor who added the most value to our special day!

Brad has been photographing weddings for quite a few years and gives his all into each wedding day. The photos he captures are stunning and the whole wedding day he is really easy to work with. I would highly recommend.

Brad photographed our wedding in August 2020. He was very flexible with COVID changing our plans. He was on time, quick, and got our photos to us within a week. He was fun and engaging. A lot of compliments from our guests. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

My husband and I give our highest recommendation to Brad. He is a true artist and a consummate professional. When we were looking for wedding photographers, we reviewed dozens of portfolios in our search for the right person to photograph our wedding day. For us, having an excellent photographer was a very high priority. We wanted a photographer who excelled in lighting techniques and capturing “real” moments. Right away, Brad’s artistry stood out to us. Additionally, from the consultation through the delivery of the final wedding photographs, he was easy to reach by phone, text, and email.

Brad photographed us for an engagement photo session, also. We wanted our dogs to be included in the engagement photos, and he made special efforts to recommend a dog-friendly location. He scoped out the location prior to our arrival, and he timed all of our shots so that the lighting was ideal. He took a wide variety of photographs, and we were able to use the engagement photographs to personalize our wedding day. For example, we used a silhouette shot taken from a distance as the cover of our wedding program and a “family” shot of us with our dogs within the program. Also, we used the photographs that he took of us on our guest favor tags, and we framed several of the engagement photographs to display at our reception.

Brad was prompt on the wedding day, arriving early so that he could photograph my wedding dress prior to my putting it on. He then went over to the church so that he could photograph my groom and the groomsmen, as well as my arrival at the church. Brad made sure to photograph the moments that I most wanted to remember, including the look on my groom’s face when he saw me for the first time as I walked down the aisle. His photographs of the church and nuptial mass were taken respectfully, never distracting from the ongoing ceremony. After the mass, he took stunning shots as we exited the church. We had a list of staged group pictures, and Brad was quick and efficient in directing our wedding party. Because of his eye for poses, composition, and lighting, Brad managed to make the staged photographs extraordinarily beautiful and interesting, and they look as if they belong on the cover of Vogue Italia or Vanity Fair. He took my bridal portraits at the church, too, as well as photographs of my husband and me in the get-away car.

At Grand Geneva, where our reception was held, Brad took beautiful photographs of my husband and me at sites that were special to us as a couple. Brad also selected various locations around the resort where the scenery and lighting were ideal, and he arranged for a golf cart to take us to those locations so that I didn’t have to walk far in my dress and heels. Again, Brade took the time of day into consideration so that we could have photographs taken in a variety of lighting situations, including golden hour and nighttime. Brad also took a wide candid variety of shots throughout the reception, and he managed to capture moments throughout the night that we will cherish forever.

Brad was reliable, enthusiastic, punctual, creative, communicative, and he came through for us in every way. Again, we give him our highest recommendation.

Brad Ryan was incredible both day of the wedding and after with the results. He was very professional the entire day and combined his vision with ours to capture everything in a truly beautiful way. Not only were the results incredible but it was fun working with him and you can tell he really is passionate about getting the best shots. We had our wedding at the villa terrace and then post wedding we did some exploring in Milwaukee with Brad. I would certainly encourage taking some pictures in the city with him too as we were extremely happy with the results.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Brad. He filmed our wedding day and captured the most beautiful moments as well as the fun and silly ones. He has an eye for detail, he is wonderful to work with, and his product is truly worth every penny. We can't thank him enough for everything and would 10/10 recommend him for anyone looking for a videographer for their wedding day.

What can I say? Brad was simply an AMAZING addition to our wedding day! Not only did he take beautiful pictures, he made everyone in the wedding party and family feel relaxed. He even brought a case of Whiteclaw on the party bus for our wedding party. Since pictures can take a few hours, it was so nice to have someone that was genuinely fun to hang out with. From the moment we hired Brad until meeting up with him to get our pictures, he was always easy to get a hold of and communicate with. I highly recommend Brad for any occasion!

Brad Ryan Photography is definitely the way to go. First and foremost, you can relax and enjoy your day while Brad moves things along after the ceremony. Brad did his homework finding out where we were going to be on the morning of the wedding, asking the necessary questions to ensure you capture those special moments and friends and family you value dearly. Brads experience shows as he gave us advice here and there about how to move people along after family photos. He makes great use of light, working in the moment and you can really see he knows what he’s doing when you look at the photos. After their prompt arrival you can relive the memories and find each photo is more impressive than the last. All of our friends and family were very impressed and found Brad to be a polite professional gentleman. We were very pleased and grateful to have him as part of our big day. I even saw him take his camera back out as he was leaving the venue when he saw some photo opportunities he knew we would appreciate. We highly recommend Brad based on the artistic finished product, his professional attitude and his people skills.

Brad has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments of the big day. He has a friendly laid back personality that was calming and reassuring. With Brad's talents, you will not be disappointed!
