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

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!
