Ryan was hands down one of the most professional, reliable, and talented people we have had the pleasure to work with. Ryan was the photographer for my cousins wedding last summer and another bridesmaid and I couldn't wait to book him ourselves for our big days. His pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality and experience Ryan provides. He is a great facilitator the day of, and really kept our day organized and moving nicely. Not to mention, he completely finished our photos within 2 weeks of the wedding which is outstanding. He is creative, fun to be around, and I can't say enough good things about our experience. Ryan will be a friend for a long time to come and I recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Inconceivable!!!

Ryan is a madman!! His talent and enthusiasm and skill are insane! He's not just some guy with a fancy camera. He can look at the surroundings and say "in 3 minutes the sun is going to break thru that cloud and bounce off that building, so you stand here... like this..." and it will be f***ing spectacular. We had an absolute blast during the shoot! Staged photos, candid shots, serious, silly, romantic, classic, modern, Ryan can do it all. I could have spent 10x as much money, time, effort, and worry and still not gotten even 1/10th of the outrageous quality I got with Ryan. Every single thing about working with Ryan was easy, fun, fast, and just all around astounding. Superb. 10/ 5 stars. I still quite literally lose my mind when I look at the photos, and every person who sees them is understandably amazed. So many of my friends and family are disappointed with their wedding photos, but I could not be more stoked. Ryan is GIFTED; you will treasure both his photos and your experience working with him. Do yourself a favor and book him NOW. You'll regret it if you dont.

Ryan made our wedding so awesome. We booked Ryan a year and 4 months in advance because we fell in love with his style of photography and his personality. We thought we wouldn't hear from him until closer to the wedding and he might even forget us since it was a whole year until the wedding but instead he kept in touch and emailed us time to time to see how we were doing and see if the planning was going well. From the start he worked around anything we threw at him - from time frames to locations for photos. The day of the wedding he was so positive, funny and energetic and just the best person to have around. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend instead of an awkward photographer who tells you how to pose and smile. The one thing I kept hearing from my guests and family members was how nice our photographer was and still get told that even three weeks after the wedding. When we finally got the finished photos we were beyond happy. The turn around time was amazing too. The photos were so amazing and looked almost unreal how awesome they were. Ryan made everything fun and beautiful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

You should hire Ryan Brandoff Photography before you even finish reading this, because he might book your date by then! He is very in demand and there are many reasons why. As a videographer, I have worked with over 100 different photographers, and I can honestly say that Ryan Brandoff is by far one of the best of the best. My first impression of him was that he was super friendly, helpful, considerate, patient, and extremely confident without having an ego, which can be common in our profession. What I noticed while working with him, was how in control of everything he was and that he didn't go the easy route to get a good-enough photo; he does what it takes to get the best shot possible while not being obtrusive. He's also very relatable. He makes you feel so comfortable and never does anything awkward to try to get you to smile for photos. I could tell he has been doing this for a very long time. And the fact that he still absolutely loves what he does, really shows through his work. I think my favorite thing about him, though, is just the way he takes care of his clients, as if they were family. The way they interact with him seems like they've known him for years. Most importantly, he's extremely talented. I have seen so much of his work and it is just some of the most beautiful and artistic images I've ever seen. I am without a doubt one of Ryan Brandoff's biggest fans. I personally promise you that you will be thrilled with your photos. Now you just have to hope he is still available!
