About

Joyful, Authentic, Timeless

The laughter you share with your bridesmaids as you get ready, the tear the slips down your grandma's cheek when you say I do, the look on your spouse's face when they see you for the first time, the killer dance moves your college friends have on the dance floor...we will be there to capture it all!

We are a small team of wedding photographers that believe in formal photos to keep momma happy and adorn your living room walls but focusing on capturing the day as it unfolds so that you can look back at the photos and feel all those feelings again with your grandkids one day.

I’m awkward in front of the camera.. can you help us feel comfortable?

In all honesty, I feel you! It’s hard being in front of the camera! But, guess what? ALL the images on our website are couples that have said the same thing and you’d have no idea! All we need you to do is come with an open mind and ready to laugh! So, trust us, we’ll do the rest of the magic! It’s our top priority for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera!

We are based in Northeast PA and Central NY!

MUST HIRE - couldn't have done my wedding without Seneca!

Seneca & her husband, Paul, were the best photographers we could've picked for our upstate NY wedding. I spoke with 3-4 others, but they were all short, business-like conversations. Seneca and I initially spoke for an hour about how my now-husband & I met, life, and just getting to know one another. We lost track of time and I never asked her the questions I had written down!

That level of investment, time & energy is what Seneca Ryan Co. dedicates to every one of their clients. They're down-to-earth, friendly people who make you instantly feel comfortable when you're nervous in front of the camera. Seneca was even able to videotape a small, special part of our reception instead of having to hire a videographer. They go above & beyond simply because they CARE!

Oh, and their photos are gorgeous!!!! Cannot recommend them enough, if you haven't found the perfect photographer yet, don't wait - reach out NOW!

Incredible! Super nice!

UNREAL. I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Seneca and her husband Paul! We had an incredible day and our photos turned out amazing. I am in awe of how they managed to capture it all (we had a long list of shots we wanted)! I feel so lucky that we have these photos to cherish forever! Seneca was super professional and setup a few pre-wedding calls to review all the details. As a covid bride who had to reschedule the wedding and switched photographers 3 times...I truly feel blessed that it worked the way it did and we got to work with Seneca! After our ceremony and after we took a bunch more pics at a park, we still had about an hour before the cocktail hour and she saw my panicked face that I had clearly messed the timeline up slightly...her and Paul said lets go get ice cream!! And we did, and it was so fun and so perfect, one of my favorite parts of the day! :) During the reception, my husband had said he wanted a lot of non-staged photos- and OMG did they deliver! The dancing photos are some of my favorite photos of the night!! I would recommend Seneca and Paul to ANYONE! Thank you thank you!!!!!

Amazing beyond words

My name is Ashley and my husband, Kiel and I were married November 2, 2019. When we began our wedding planning, the photographer was one of the most important details to me. Kiel and I actually met with 4 different photographers prior to Seneca and I felt that none were the right fit. Their work was all amazing, but all in all when we found Seneca, and we met with her we both knew she was the one. She took the time to listen to what we wanted, and our dream for the wedding day. She paid attention to what we wanted, and did not try to tell us what she thought would be best. We did an engagement shoot with her prior to the wedding, and at that moment we both knew that we chose the best of the best. We had so much fun with her, it felt like we knew her for much longer than we did. Her approach with her clients is bound to leave you feeling more like a friend, rather than a client. The day of the wedding, we could not have asked for more. Seneca and Paul are a dynamic duo- and beat our expectations by so much. Seneca always knew just what to say when I started to feel stressed out. She is much more than a photographer. I get emotional thinking about how perfect our wedding day was, and now we have these photos to remind of us of the special day. Seneca and Paul- THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making this day perfect beyond words. You are both wonderful people. We are forever grateful.

Incredible experience!

I could not be happier with our decision to choose Seneca as our wedding photographer. We had our engagement session with her last week & it was such a great experience! She made the whole day so fun and easy and didn't rush us through anything. She made sure we got every shot we wanted and more! Less than a week later we received our pictures back and they came out incredible! Honestly I couldn't be happier and can't wait to see how great of a job she does on our wedding day! Thank you SO much!!!

Wonderful Overall Experience!

This team of photographers was really outstanding! From the quick responses on emails to the day of execution. I really am so glad we hired them to take photos of our inn. We will be using them for our website and content and could not be more thrilled with the detail work or the clarity that came along with each photo. We appreciate their skilled work and how easy they were to work with. Thank you Seneca + Ryan we look forward to having you back soon.

More Than I EVER Expected!!

I didn't know what to expect when booking my wedding photographer. All you see online is their photos and decide from there... After seeing Seneca's work, I asked her for pricing and more information. She responded fast and was so nice. We booked her a year or so in advance, and kept touch the entire time up until the wedding day! On the wedding day, she was SO PREPARED. She felt like our photographer AND wedding coordinator/planner! She made us feel so comfortable. There was never an awkward moment, as I felt like she was there making sure everything was going smoothly and taking some beautiful photos! After the wedding, we received sneak peaks the next day and then our WHOLE ALBUM online within two or three weeks. I could not believe how fast we received them! Most of my friends have had to wait months before receiving their photos. And let me tell you... the photos were beautiful! I am so happy we booked Seneca, and definitely will use her again for any of our future professional photos!!

Seneca Ryan Co.

There are almost NO words to express how amazing Seneca truly is at capturing the most important moments of ones life. The instant Seth and I got engaged I contacted Seneca to tell her that I would wait as long as I needed too, to get her booked for an engagement shoot (of course I got engaged in the middle of wedding season), she is kind, creative, charismatic, talented, loving, engaging, down to earth, gets to truly know her clients which then turn into friendship's and ALWAYS putting her heart into capturing exactly what you want. Mine and Seth's engagement shoot was nothing short of amazing (of course) but I can not even begin to tell you how absolutely wonderful she was for my wedding! She was there for every highlight, every moment, down to every little detail that I didn't even know I would want until she captured it! And I can NOT forget to express how well she does at making the guys have a great time (because we all no guys hate the picture part) and making them comfortable and having a great time even while being photographed! I promise that Seneca is the most highly recommended photographer for any of your photography needs! All of our photos have turned out BEAUTIFUL! Thanks Sen!

There are no words

I don’t even know where to begin with how phenomenal Seneca is. Our story started in a small cafe in Montrose for a consult. The second (I mean literal second I met her) we hugged, and I was done searching for my wedding photographer. She has such a warmth about her that you immediately feel at easy and comfortable around her. Our engagement photos were stunning and she truly captured the love that me and my now husband (still feels weird saying that) have for each other. Then came our wedding day. Seneca and Paul are the dynamic duo and ugh they are so so cute together it made my heart soar. Besides Paul brought me food during cocktail hour so he’s the real MVP. Our photos are beyond stunning and I can’t wait to look back when we’re 80 and show our grandchildren the most magical day of our lives. I can’t recommend Seneca enough LOVE HER.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
