So amazing

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ryan. He is an amazing photographer and amazing man. His laid back personality and wonderful engaging interactions put us at ease from our first consultation. Our engagement photos were amazing and we knew our wedding would be even better. He is a true artist and knows his craft. He captured all of our amazing moments in such a great way. We just loved Ryan! If you book him you will not be disappointed. Also to note his photo turn around time is amazing!

He was the right choice!

Ryan did a great job for my wife and I for our wedding. In short, he made sure that he had all of the getting ready, romantic, ceremony, family, and wedding party pictures taken, and gave us the entire 1500 photo portfolio in full quality 2 days after our wedding day--and at a price better than most professional photographers. It was great to work with someone who had quite a bit of experience--every bit helps to keep things on track, time wise, especially when your weddding coordinator isn't great. Thank you, Ryan!

Made my beautiful day more special than I could have imagined

I contacted Ryan about 2 weeks before me wedding because my photographer at the time was ignoring me and not even treating me like a person, just business. My fiancé was away for military service and we had gone through the ringer after my identity was stolen and other tragedies. The day that I spoke with Ryan about my wedding he reminded me that a wedding isn’t about stress or money, it’s about my partner and I committing ourselves for live. He reminded me about the beauty of a wedding and that he wanted to help me celebrate. Not only did he make things so much easier for me but he truly did help me celebrate! I told him I would pay him the last installment on my wedding day but he insisted I give him a hug instead and worry about money later. He truly is what the wedding business should be reflected as. My guests the days to follow told me how much they loved him being there! Especially on the dance floor later that night. I got my photos about a week later, Ryan is a phenomenal photographer and an even kinder soul. He was a pleasure to be around and I can never thank him enough for helping me celebrate our day

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!
