Laura Ryan Photography

Laura Ryan Photography A+++++ I found Laura Ryan on liweddings.com, and will be forever grateful. Laura is a doll. She was easy to work with, very patient with all my MANY questions, and made us feel like we knew her forever. I just finished selecting the photos for our album, a VERY daunting task given the 1800+ awesome pics Laura gave us to choose from, and I can't wait to see how it comes out! Photography was so important to us and we knew from our first meeting that Laura would be perfect. Also, her assistant and second photographer were as professional and pleasant to work with as Laura. And Aly took some beautiful shots, too. All in all, we couldn't be more pleased and whole-heartedly recommend Laura! All photos in my photo album are by Laura Ryan Photography.

I cannot even begin to explain how amazed we are at our experience with Laura! What a pleasure she was to work with. Her professionalism was exceptional, she was fun, energetic and an absolute ball. My husband and I could tell she was really having a blast taking our pictures and was in her element! She took out all her tools and techniques and really made art! She is not your average wedding photographer, she is an artist and you can tell by the way she captures your special moments in such a dreamy way. My maid of honor who is also getting married next year asked for her information at the end of the night and contacted her! I had guests asking for her information! She even gave us hand warmers when we took our pictures in the coldest weather! I told Laura to do what she wanted for our pictures and she went absolutely above and beyond. Cannot wait to have her at more events of ours in the future. There is no one my husband and I would rather have capturing our special moments than Laura! We cannot thank you enough!!!!!

So happy we chose Laura to be our photographer for our wedding. She was perfect. From our first phone conversation to the end she was great. She knew exactly what I wanted and captured all our special moments. She made us feel relaxed and have fun with all the posed photos. During our reception Laura and her assistant were hardly noticed but everywhere all at once. Thank you Laura for everything!

We contacted Laura only one month away from our wedding in need of finding a photographer quick, since ours basically bailed on us. Laura was immediately professional, friendly, and responsive. On the day of, she jumped right into action, no frills, bells or whistles, which we loved since we were sort of running late, and all day she had a very professional demeanor. She was exactly how you would want your photographer to be: a fly on the wall capturing all the best moments; I barely even remember seeing her! We got 4 photos as previews a few weeks after the wedding, and about a month and a half after, we got the full set. There are something like >1500 photos and they are ALL INCREDIBLE. They have such a raw, genuine feel and we are blown away by the quality. The biggest complaint we have is that there are so many good photos and it has proven REALLY difficult to go through them all and choose a selection for an album, posting to Facebook, sharing with friends and family, etc. But this is obviously a good problem to have. We would hire Laura again in an instant and recommend her to anyone!

This past August, Laura shot our wedding in Central Park as well as our reception the next day. She was a fabulous photographer in every way. Very professional and attentive and easy to work with. Even better were the photos we got just a month later. We loved all of the special moments Laura captured, the smiles and laughter and people engaging with each other. The images were natural and spontaneous. Even for our posed portraits she managed to capture the "in between" moments, when people were looking their happiest and loveliest. We can't say enough wonderful things about the photos and are so happy we chose Laura because now we have amazing keepsakes of our wedding weekend for years to come. Thank you Laura!!!

Laura did an amazing job on our wedding photos. We had a cold, windy day in early October and she made our photos look so cool with wind-swept looks and bright images despite the day. She made everyone feel comfortable to work with and our pictures look like we are all having the times of our lives. Her and her team were troopers that day and delivered our images in a timely manner. We highly recommend Laura for future events!

Laura Ryan is not only a close personal friend and coworker, but I am also lucky enough to be able to call her my wedding photographer. She has photographed the weddings of one of my best friends, as well as one of my sisters, and now it's my turn! She is incredibly professional, experienced, and personable. Her many years in the business has given her a wealth of knowledge that expands beyond photography, so she often has excellent advice to help make the day run smoothly and look beautiful. I know I can trust her judgement and that I won't have to worry about how my photos will come out. She is a photo-ninja and manages to capture every special moment and can even make people who are typically not photogenic look gorgeous. I can't wait for her to photograph my special day!

I was extremely pleased with the services from Laura Ryan Photography. Laura was quick to respond to every email that was sent. We went with an associate photographer, Vanessa, who was very professional on the day. We received our photographs within a month and they are amazing! We couldn't be more pleased with the final product. Vanessa was so creative and really caught us as the Bride and Groom in such a great way. I would strong recommend Laura Ryan photography to any bride. Great company!

Laura is an incredible photographer. My family and I have used her for weddings, engagement shoots, etc. Laura is so responsive, and easy to contact. Many times she easily scheduled meetings with me just to touch base about my wedding vision and timeline. Laura also does a GREAT job of taking control when necessary at weddings. There are so many times that you need someone to be assertive and put folks where they need to go for pictures. Laura does just that, in the most loving way. Her work speaks for itself, and is of the GREATEST quality. I cannot wait to continue working with Laura in the future!

We are so happy to have chosen the extraordinarily talented Laura Ryan to photograph our wedding day. Simply looking at her portfolio left little question as to who we would choose for a photographer on our wedding day. Her photo-journalistic, nostalgic, and timeless style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and exactly what has shone through in our wedding photos.
Flexibility was also a characteristic that had especially stood out to my husband and I, having had to change the location, date, and time of our wedding due to Hurricane Sandy. Laura Ryan kept in constant contact with us throughout our change of plans, and was incredibly supportive despite the catastrophic surroundings.
On the day of the wedding, Laura and her assistant remained professional, funny and unobtrusive. Our entire wedding party and family noted that her presence was wonderful- she did not force us to do uncomfortable poses, and she captured so many beautiful moments that we may have not otherwise seen.
Our photos were delivered unmarked on a website in a little more than a month, as well as a DVD of our images. Laura's prices are extremely reasonable given her talent.
I will forever recommend and utilize Laura Ryan Photography.

I <3 Laura Ryan!
Laura photographed my wedding, and she was the FIRST vendor we hired because once we saw her photos (and even more so once we met her), we knew she was the perfect photographer to work with.
Her style of photography is amazing - she makes even posed photos seem natural and not stiff, she finds beautiful light and pops of color, and she somehow just captures the joy and essence of each moment. Laura is professional, creative, confident, and fun! She was so responsive from the first email inquiry we sent. It felt like she was as excited about our wedding as we were. We had quite a long wedding day, and the entire time Laura was energetic and enthusiastic. She was the perfect amount of in-control and attention-grabbing when she needed our focus or that of our families/wedding party for the more formal shots, and then inconspicuous during the rest of the time for the candid shots. The photo booth she set up at the reception was awesome too, our guests had so much fun with it!
When we got the proofs, my husband and I were beyond excited and pleased. There were SO MANY amazing photos. She captured ALL of the memories for us from the best day of our lives. We felt even more sure that Laura's fee was worth every penny - it wasn't just a day-of service that she provided, but honestly a life-long investment. We feel so grateful every time we look at our photos and show them to our family and friends.
We also loved the professional wedding album we got through Laura - it is beautiful and the quality is outstanding. She was really flexible and understanding when we took longer than we should have to decide on which photos to include in the album (it was so hard to choose from the hundreds of gorgeous shots she took!)
I wholeheartedly recommend Laura Ryan for all your photography needs!

Laura Ryan Photography was not only wonderful to work with, but also documented our day realistically, beautifully, perfectly. Laura, of course, captured the major events of the day, but - just as importantly - she captured small, intimate, and candid moments that told the real story of our day and those who shared it with us. Her photojournalistic style was exactly what we were looking for and allowed us more time to spend with our guests rather than posing for stuffy, prefab photos. She did, however, gladly work with us to take advantage of some fun, once-in-a-lifetime photo ops with our wedding party! We continuously receive amazing compliments on our wedding photos and are always asked for a referral - which we are more than happy to provide!

From our initial meeting, Laura Ryan and I just clicked. She did not have an easy job as we had two different ceremonies in two locations in a matter of hours. Each time I met with Laura to go over the details/timeline I felt more confident that we had selected a great photgrapher. After seeing so many gorgeous images from our big day, I'm grateful to Laura for all of her hard work. She remained calm and even helped pin my veil during the crazy winds that we had prior to the ceremony in an outdoor park by the water. She was able to capture so many details from our Hindu ceremony and people's excited expressions. Laura is someone who can really adapt to any day or situation and find wonderful alternatives when things don't go quite as planned. What also makes her a great photgrapher to work with is that she is just a very nice person who wants to make the bride's life as easy as possible throughout the crazy planning process. She's extremely talented and I'm so very glad to have hundreds of images that I just love to look back on and smile.

Laura is beyond talented! We just got our pictures and they are amazing! Laura captured every detail of our wedding. She is truly an artist and we are so happy that we chose her. It will be so hard choosing which pictures we will frame and put in our album.

From beginning to end we had a great experience with Laura Ryan. We knew right away just from looking at her site that we wanted her to be our photographer and we definitely made the right decision. We now have absolutely beautiful engagement and wedding pictures that we love and always get compliments on. She was great to work with as well and it was a real comfort having her there the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond as well when we went to the beach to take pics- literally climbing out onto the jetty with us! She is awesome and super talented!!
