Ryan’s personality, professionalism, creativity & attention to detail make him a go to photographer! We had the pleasure of working him for our engagement & wedding photos and we couldn’t have been happier we found him through I DO OBX. From the moment we met Ryan he made us feel comfortable & at ease, Kyle & I were out of our comfort zone but he had a way of posing us in a natural, un-staged way. Ryan was easy to communicate with and listed to our vision and made it reality with photos we could have only dreamed of. He’s go with the flow & down for anything! We couldn’t have asked for a more talented photographer to capture our special moments. We will be using Coastal Shots for our future family photos!

The Absolute Best Photographer – Truly Unmatched!

I could not have anticipated how incredible our wedding photographer would be—Ryan exceeded every expectation! He is hands-down the BEST photographer I’ve ever worked with. From start to finish, he was organized, professional, and so easy to be around. He made coordinating photos during our beach ceremony look effortless, keeping everything moving while capturing every special moment. His calm, easygoing nature helped make the evening feel even more joyful. We can’t wait to work with him again for future family photos!
