We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day! Not only did Ryan beautifully capture the love between us against the breathtaking mountain backdrop, but his easy-going and funny personality made the entire experience relaxed and joyful. He knows all the best spots to get stunning shots that truly showcase the natural beauty around us. Plus, he’s such a fun guy to have around making every moment feel natural and effortless. We’re beyond thrilled with the photos and would highly recommend him to anyone!! Ryan YOU ARE THE BEST!!

-The Longs!

We had the best experience with Ryan for our engagement photos in Mammoth. He was amazing at guiding us through poses and made everything feel natural and easy, which helped us relax and actually enjoy the shoot. Ryan was incredibly friendly, professional, and made the whole experience flow seamlessly. On top of that, the turnaround time for our photos was super quick and the results were stunning. We could not be happier and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for Ryan. Since the first time we met him , I knew we picked the right guy. A very genuine, knowledgeable , rad human. Always there if you had any questions or concerns. Ryan was so accommodating and fun to work with it. He made our whole experience stress free and easy-going. Ryan made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We had a blast going to different locations with him. Lots of laughs and memories that we will cherish forever. His vision , talent and attention to detail is incredible. It felt like we had a friend behind the lens. He captured some magical moments and made our elopement experience unforgettable. Mammoths holds such a special place in our hearts and we are thankful to have these candid prints to look back on. I highly recommend Ryan! Hire him for your next mountain adventure! You will not be disappointed! Jordan & Bryan :)

Ryan is the ultimate pro, but honestly that's the least of it. We hired Ryan for our wedding because of his stunning style, shooting weddings with an eye for the landscape and placing people perfectly in the frame. His editing style is vivid and vibrant, and his eye for color saturation brings the Eastern Sierra to life.

Ryan was incredibly easy to work with, able to jump on the included engagement session on little notice. Throughout the ceremony and reception he was both everywhere and invisible, somehow managing to capture every angle and individual guest in such unique and lively frames. His turnaround times were remarkably quick and his photo-sharing platform is extremely easy to use.

We were glad to have paid for the full 8 hours, having all the getting ready photos and maximum time on the dance floor was totally worth it.

We're going to treasure his images (and he gave us many hundreds) for the rest of our lives. HIRE HIM!

We have nothing but great things to say about Ryan. We got married at Convict Lake (Shale Beach) in May and battled changing weather, logistical challenges, and a tight timeline. Ryan made sure everything went smooth & captured our entire experience so well. He was the absolute last thing I was stressed about!!

He is kind, easy-going, and showed nothing but support; he captured our personalities to a tee. He provided a video/drone option for our ceremony so we had a videographer come and capture our first look, ceremony, and after-photos. They were both incredibly fun to work with - despite the rain & wind, we couldn't stop laughing!

Our wedding ended up taking longer than we had originally booked him for & he was communicative and clear about extending hours while also making it stress-free. He stuck around and captured some incredible shots of our evening. Can't recommend him enough!!!

We cannot recommend Ryan enough! He was truly incredible and went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding experience. We had three separate photo shoots, and each one was unique and stunning.

First, he joined us on the mountain for a snowboarding session—spending two hours capturing us completely in our element with the most breathtaking mountain backdrops. Then on the morning of our wedding, he met us at sunrise for an offsite shoot across multiple scenic locations. Those photos turned out absolutely magical. And on the day of the wedding, he flawlessly captured every important moment—from beautiful candid shots to portraits of us and our guests.

Not only is he extremely talented, but he’s also just a genuinely great person—chill, personable, and such a calming presence to have around on a busy and emotional day. We’re so grateful for everything he did to help us remember this time forever. Highly, highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Ryan's work enough! If you are looking for a talented, creative, and experienced photographer, Ryan is the one. We decided to elope in Tuolumne Meadows, and while searching for photographers in the area, we found Ryan’s website. We knew right away that he was the perfect choice to document our special day.

From the very first email and call, Ryan impressed us with his humility, talent, and deep knowledge of the area we had chosen. On the day of our wedding, he arrived on time and took us to the most stunning spots around the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge, where we were staying. He helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and was incredibly patient when it took longer than expected for our family (six people, most of them over 70) to get ready for the hike to our elopement location.

The next day, we received an email with nearly 300 beautifully edited photos. Every single person we've shown them to has been amazed by Ryan's talent, and we couldn’t agree more! Our photos perfectly captured the magic of our day, and we are so grateful for Ryan’s gift as a photographer.

We also purchased both of his published books, Yosemite in Pictures and Tuolumne in Pictures, and we proudly tell everyone who visits our home, "This was our wedding photographer."

Ryan was professional and an excellent communicator. He was able to adjust to last minute location changes and even navigate rain/sleet on our wedding day. We are forever grateful for Ryans talent and the very special moments he captured.

I couldn't recommend Ryan more! We decided on a destination wedding, so we wanted to work with a Mammoth Lakes local photographer, to ensure the photos really captured the beautiful scenery.
Ryan went above & beyond to help capture the most important, and beautiful day of our lives. We are forever thankful for him and his talent!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan for our engagement and wedding photos, and we highly recommend him. His extensive knowledge of and passion for the Mammoth Lakes region provided us with breathtaking locations that showcased the area's natural beauty.

One standout aspect was his ability to adapt to bad weather conditions and changing timelines on our wedding day. His professional demeanor made it very easy to work with him. His excitement towards capturing our special moments was infectious.

The photos he captured are stunning, perfectly highlighting the beauty of the surroundings and the emotions of our special day. His quick turnaround time meant we didn’t have to wait long to relive those precious moments.

If you’re considering booking Convict Lake Resort, Ryan works exceptionally well with Meghan and the staff. His familiarity with the venue made our experience smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, Ryan exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, adaptable, and talented wedding photographer, look no further.
