Jamie L. Sent on 03/02/2021Your Photography search stops here!!
Hi guys! Seriously, let me save you some time with your Photographer search. Ryan and his team are absolutely amazing. Our original wedding day was of course postponed because, well COVID happened...so we pushed it out to 10/15/20. Ryan was very flexible in working with us to make our new date work, which as you can imagine rescheduling an OBX wedding 5 months later can be quite stressful...but he made everything so easy.
As for our wedding day itself, absolutely perfect. Ryan and his team captured every moment that we could've possibly imagined...and then some. His creativity and attention to detail just absolutely blew us away, so far beyond anything we had imagined or hoped for. He somehow even managed to make me not look like the blubbering mess I totally was...and that had to have been a feat in itself. I warned my wife ahead of time that I was going to be a mess...and I wasn't wrong, for that Ryan, thank you! When I logged in to write this review, I saw he even has our first dance photo as his main photo, what an amazing shot...that in itself shows his creativity. The man was standing on about a 5ft fence ledge, and captured what is by far our favorite photo of all, this is the kind of stuff you get with Ryan...original outstanding work.
I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you get the opportunity to hire Ryan to capture your day, I know we will be forever grateful. Ryan gave us the chance to relive our special day, the absolute best day of my life...over and over, so vividly...and there's no price tag on that. Do yourself a favor and grab Coastal Shots if you can. I’ll add a few of our favorites.
Thank you for everything, Ryan!
Love,
Jamie & Melissa Lee

Mary Sent on 07/10/2023The BEST decision we made
If you are considering hiring a photographer in the OBX, Ryan with Coastal Shots should be it! When we got our photos back, my cousin said "I said it once and I’ll say it again, we need to hire them for every 👏🏼future👏🏼event!" Ryan and Valerie were so sweet, patient, talented and fun. They made us feel so comfortable, especially my husband, who doesn't love getting his picture taken. The best thing Ryan did was take a photo of us with all of our guests as we were processing out. I will treasure these forever! -

Ryan and his wife couldn’t of did a better job! They were amazing and even got some shots we decided we wanted last minute the day of. The quality of the pictures and the amount we got was more then I could of imagined. We stayed at the Black stallion and they made sure to get us over to the sunset bridge to get some amazing sunset shots and even gave us a ride in there own car to do so. I’m so in love with our pictures and 100% recommend. If your wanting amazing photos and the perfect price then book them! -

Ryan with Coastal Shots LLC exceeded our wedding day expectations! We first contacted Ryan for a family session last year. Since then, we have counted on him for our engagement session and on our wedding day. Ryan and his team capture so many special moments. Ryan is professional, attentive, communicative, and kind!
We look forward to working with Ryan in the future! -

We recently hired Ryan for our September 2022 wedding, and he was amazing! We had a laid back wedding and he was flexible with timing, great with posing us and making us feel and look our best. We asked for some 'sneak peek' photos to post on social media and he had them to us on wedding day. Better yet, we got our entire gallery of 500+ photos back in 2.5 weeks. Overall, amazing experience! -

We cannot thank Ryan enough for capturing our special day the way that he did! He captures the true beauty of the Outer Banks in all of his photos. He is SO much fun to work with, makes sure everyone feels comfortable, and pays close attention to details. We plan on using him in the future for family portraits while vacationing in the Outer Banks :) -

Finding Coastal Shots was a blessing for our wedding! We found him through our venue's preferred vendors and it was the best decision! He captured our day perfectly. Our final shots were AMAZING! I wish my house was big enough to hang every last picture. He was so comfortable and worked with us so well. He especially was very patient, which was a blessing with having young children in the wedding. Thank you Ryan and team for helping make our day perfect! -

Weddings are stressful and Ryan of Coastal Shots removed a lot of that stress. His experience, professionalism, and humor helped guide us through our special day despite the chaos or our lack of experience. Especially imporant was Ryan's ability to capture the beauty in our aquarium venue. We used Coastal Shots for our engagement photos as well and it was one of my favorite lifetime experiences. We received so many compliments about our photos and how they were the most beautiful anyone had seen. -

Absolutely Amazing!!
I can't even explain how happy we were with our services. We had a great experience with Coastal Shots Photography. Ryan was so flexible when we had to reschedule and re-plan our wedding because of COVID-19. All of our emails were responded to promptly with friendliness and professionalism. Working with Coastal Shots was so easy from the day we first inquired about a contract to even after we received our photos. The photos turned out amazing!! Ryan clearly knows what he is doing and has such talent. It was one less thing to worry about on our wedding day because we were able to trust Ryan to capture everything we wanted. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further because Coastal Shots Photography is PERFECT! -

Ahhhmazing
Ryan was absolutely amazing. He made Keith & I super comfortable and Ryan knew all the best spots for our photos. We had a last minute wedding change and Ryan was super flexible on his end. He captured all the moments we wanted and more. He was super nice, was very responsive and fun to be around. For our destination wedding I went off of reviews to book our vendors and I am so glad we found Ryan! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer we recommend Ryan! -Kate & Keith Short -

Ryan Diegelmann was so perfect for our wedding! He and his assistant were super sweet and let us test out all different locations for our photos. We loved the passion they both showed for photography and also for us. They really are amazing at what they do and we so think anyone should hire them! You will not regret having photographers who truly care for you and taking photos that will last a lifetime! -

Ryan and his team were beyond amazing. They were super laid back and relaxed, which made me relaxed.
I had told him some key moments I wanted imaged and he went above and beyond. You do NOT need to look any further than him! They stayed the whole entire day to make sure every moment was captured, even the ones I missed, (being the bride).
The photos came out absolutely stunning! I am so excited to hang these in my house. I will be using him again for family portraits years to come.
Again, thank you so much for making our day that much more special. We are so happy you were our photographer and we can not wait to use you in the future!

Dani G. Sent on 07/20/2021Absolutely incredible!!
Ryan was so phenomenal! He was flexible, responsive, professional, fun, and the perfect balance of energetic and relaxed! You can tell he loves what he does—we had such a great time taking all of our pictures. Our guests came to us during the wedding and raved about Ryan. The photos were absolutely stunning and captured every little detail of our big day. Ryan even went out of his way last summer to photograph us on our postponed/initial wedding date after a few schedule changes. We are so thankful for Ryan at Coastal Shots and all of his hard work and the love he put into our photos! -
