About
You are not a prop.
If there was one message I want to convey to all couples, that would be it. You're a real, live, human being, and many other real, live human beings have come together to celebrate a momentous day in your life. Soak it in. Live it up. Those human relationships, vibrant personalities, and real, heartfelt moments encompass much of what makes your wedding day memorable. You've spent months planning for that wedding day, so why not be a part of it? I believe you deserve a photographer who lets you enjoy that day instead of forcing you to spend hours away from your own wedding.The little details that go into a wedding are great because they are a reflection of your personal touches, but you are so much more than your shoes. So I vow not to miss the laughs, tears, whispers, or embraces because I'm off spending 30 minutes of your wedding day photographing those shoes from fourteen angles.
Mmmmm...cookies.
Cookie cutters are great for making cookies, not so great for making wedding photographs. Those un-staged, unscripted, candid moments make your wedding unique and unforgettable. So whether I'm photographing a wedding or a lifestyle session my goals are similar - I want to creatively reveal the energy, passion, vibrant personalities and quirkiness that make you uniquely you and life worth recording. I want your creative portraits to be like a day at the beach not a trip to the dentist. I want you to celebrate life, and I want to be there to capture it.
Let's make some pictures.

Reviews of Ryan Davis Photography




Professional Network & Endorsements

Ryan and his assistant were a blast to work with for Matt & Amy's wild and interactive wedding at Giovanni's in Rockford! I love the collaboration, details, and proactive communication we created prior to wedding day! He was so much fun to work with, had all bases covered, and was up for anything! Even after the wedding in some other projects, he was open to giving me access to images and can't wait till the next time we collaborate together! An amazing talent, artist, and professional!!! :-)

Ryan is one of those few vendors we get to the meet in our line of work that just explodes in personality, creativity, and genuine good nature! While I can speak to Ryan's work as fabulous and am always happy to recommend him to both wedding couples and corporate vendors - it's his personality that I find really shines through. He cares not only for the art but for the couples he works with. He's always happy and going that extra mile to make the day that much more perfect. And it says a lot, when a videographer can say this about a photographer, but knowing we are working together I know without question that the day will go smoothly all around but it will also be so much fun!!
