O'Ryan Empire Photo + Video

We only had the opportunity to meet Erik, and he was so amazing. Not only is he truly amazing at what he does, but he was also great to work with — easy going and so fun. Our engagement photos turned out amazing, and I can’t wait to see our wedding photos and video. We were so hesitant whether to go the cheap route for a wedding photographer or spend more money for better value, and I’m so so happy we chose to spend more. I have all the confidence our wedding photos will be perfection. Thank you so much Jaclyn and Erik!

We cannot recommend this team enough. Erik and Jaclyn took the time to personally get to know us, do a walkthrough at our venue, and understand our priorities for photos & videos on our big day. They set expectations very clearly. I highly recommend doing an engagement photo shoot as well because it's a great chance to get to know them and their personality. They made both me and my husband feel so relaxed it honestly didn't even feel like we were ever "posing" for photos. Erik has this incredible presence of calmness (which is super needed during all things wedding) while also being super on top of it and getting everything done. I never once felt worried about our footage or our photos because I knew Erik had it covered. Thank you O'Ryan Empire for being one of the top highlights of our wedding experience. We are beyond grateful. Your customer service was above and beyond.

We have nothing, but AMAZING things to say about Erik and Jaclyn! They are so fun to work with and our pictures are jaw droppingly beautiful. They are on top of their communication and their professionalism is top notch, which is greatly appreciated especially since we booked them two years in advance. They answered all of our many questions and their vibe is great. When we first met them for our engagement shoot, we both felt as though we had known them in another lifetime since it was so easy to make conversation with them. We are so glad that they were there to capture all of our special moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Jaclyn and Erik were such an amazing team of photographers. I was extremely nervous to do a secret boudoir shoot for my fiancé. They made me feel so comfortable and the photos turned out AMAZING! I know my fiancé is going to love it. We had so much fun listening to music and chatting during the shoot. It was like we were old friends! I highly recommend!

The use of light, camera angles, different lens with an eye unlike anyone I've ever seen before, not to mention impeccable talent when it comes to editing with perfection.

Working with O’Ryan Empire was an amazing experience. I have so many good things I could say about Erik and Jaclyn. From our very first phone conversation they were so friendly and easy going, making sure to address any questions I had. We scheduled our wedding photographs and an engagement session. When we met for the engagement session my fiancé and I both felt a little nervous because we had never been photographed in such a way. But, Erik and Jaclyn made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. Another thing I really appreciated from them was their flexibility and willingness to work with me. COVID caused my wedding date to be postponed and O’Ryan was very understanding and allowed us to move our date. They were always punctual in replying to my many emails and it was very reassuring that they were so good with communication. When it came to the date of our wedding, my husband and I were both really impressed with O’Ryan (as we knew we would be). They thought of everything and took so many amazing pictures. Our wedding party also enjoyed working with them as they got a lot of fun shots. They really captured my wedding day in a way that I will cherish forever. Their work is amazing I would hands down recommend them for anyone needing photographers for any special occasion.

My wife and I happen to come across O'Ryan Empire Photography while venue shopping. We set up a meeting with Jaclyn and Erick and instantly felt like we had been talking with long-time family friends. After our initial consultation we continued with our engagement shoot which was such a great experience and so much fun. As we approached our wedding, Jaclyn and Erik did everything to make sure that we were more than prepared for our day. They are such an incredible duo and have such an amazing team. Our photos came out just as we expected...perfect! We loved working with them and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone! Thank you, Jaclyn and Erik for such an amazing experience and for capturing every moment with your incredible gift and talent.

I’m not sure where to begin with O’Ryan Empire. Jaclyn and Erik are relatable, funny, professional and extremely talented. We both tout them as our most valued vendor due to everything they did for us from engagement shoot to delivering the wedding gallery link. They worked with our dog really well, which meant a lot to us. And while I know every bride and groom likes to think they have the best photos ever, our photos seriously look like they belong in a magazine. Having worked for a media company, I like to think I have some credibility in saying this! :) On the day of, they both worked the entire wedding/reception in sleek black outfits and in-ear walkie talkies to keep track of their progress together. I found this all really impressive and well planned on their part. They guided the wedding party and families in the most efficient way I’ve seen at a wedding and had us off to our grand entrance in plenty of time. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone and we plan to reach out again if we have any future photo needs!

So happy that we choose Erik and Jaclyn from O'Ryan Empire to capture the moments from our special wedding day!

We got married at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach which is an awesome venue, but a tricky one to photograph due to all the glass and reflections-- Erik and Jaclyn did their homework to be able to capture the best photos on our wedding day. They are very professional and did a walk through at the venue with us to understand timeline and photo backdrops/lighting. We were also very happily surprised at how quickly they turned around the editing of our photos and got our online gallery up and running for our friends and family to see!

Thanks O'Ryan Empire!

Jaclyn and Erik are SUCH a sweet couple. They have a way of making you feel comfortable in any situation. I had asked for a specific look for our engagement photos and without a doubt they were able to pull it off! I asked for a lot and they delivered no problem. Taking our engagement photos with them allowed us to get to know them and for them to get to know us a little better, so I suggesting taking engagement photos with them before the wedding. Their pricing is also pretty good considering how much they offer in each package. We are so ecstatic that they are our wedding photographers!

Jaclyn and Erik are not only the most talented and adorable Photography duo in Southern California, they became a part of our family through the whole process. Jaclyn and Erik even brought a carrot for our bunny on our wedding day! They made us feel comfortable with their smiles, creativity and professionalism. We witnessed their passion for photography and we continue to be amazed by their talent. Thank you Jaclyn and Erik!

Jaclyn and Eric are the best personally and professionally. Jaclyn and Erik were the photographers for my daughter’s wedding at Descanso Gardens. As a team, they are sensational. The engagement photos taken in the Angeles National Forest are breathtaking. At the wedding, it was spectacular how Jaclyn and Erik seemed to be everywhere,photographing every aspect of the wedding from the details, to the ceremony, reception, cake cutting and bubble grand exit! Jaclyn and Erik’s photos are creative and stunning. I would highly recommend O’Ryan Empire Photography to anyone having an event in the greater Los Angeles area

If you are looking for a photographer to capture the true essence and feeling of your wedding day, then look no further. We cannot rate Eric & Jaclyn any higher. They have such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural fun and excitement that is so important to be documented. Eric & Jaclyn's ability not to miss a moment is incredible, and their energy and passion comes across in the photos. Eric & Jaclyn are truly innovative and inspirational photographers. DO NOT MISS OUT on this awesome duo!

We love you!

From start until the very last minute of our wedding, Jaclyn & Erik were supportive and completely devoted to our wants and needs. They have such an incredible eye and passion for what they do and the finished product is more than we could ever ask for or expected.

They really knew how to make us laugh and feel at ease since taking posed photos doesn't come naturally to us. They were also more than prepared for the elements (February 2017 rainstorm) and professional the entire time. So happy that we picked them and you will be too!
