About

I'm a Pacific Northwest based film + digital photographer flying often. I make heartfelt, authentic, joyful images for people wild about each other, and about life. When you looked through the stories I've photographed, if you felt a connection, chances are you're one of those people. I'd truly love to tell a part of your story.

A couple more details: I had the honor of being named "30 Rising Stars" by Rangefinder Magazine. I'm a child of the 80's, I'm honored to be married to a knockout blonde. I'm a sucker for the Pacific Northwest and the great outdoors, microbrews, great coffee, zombie movies, tattoos, and dogs. I love well designed things, well-prepared food, and well-told stories.

Turned a rainy situation into an unbelievable photo album.

The PHOTOS! Number one reason to hire Ryan. But he’s also very easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable while doing shoots. The quality of our photos is second to none and it’s beyond what we imagined. It was rainy and he made all our memories look beautiful.

Worth every penny

Ryan is simply the best. He has so much experience, you don't have to worry at all about how your pictures will turn out. He WILL deliver. Everyone in our family takes awkward photos and struggles to feel "photogenic," but with Ryan I didn't have to add that to my laundry list of stressors on my wedding day. He is so quick, so unobtrusive, and so talented! When you spend so much on a wedding overall, it's important to capture it so you and your friends and family can relive the joy over and over. I couldn't be happier with this investment.

Great photographer for people who aren't used to being photographed!

I loved working with Ryan! He's a great communicator and very organized. I love the questionnaires and online tip sheets he provided prior to our engagement session and wedding day. Also just super down to earth, easy to talk to, and comfortable to be around. For our engagement shoot, he looked over outfit choices I sent him which I appreciated. We aren't the most fashionable or photogenic people. He was wonderful with out dog, who was a very active part of our shoot. The photos turned out great and his online portal made it easy to share, download, and order prints. On the wedding day he was calm and fun, which is what I needed. After our portrait photos, he totally blended in as a guest but was also easy to snag when we wanted him to capture random moments (like cutting the train off my dress). It will still be a few weeks before we get our wedding photos, but I'm totally confident they will be perfect.

Talented and personable photographer captures amazing photos

We worked with Ryan for both an engagement session and wedding day photos and both experiences were a true pleasure. Ryan is laid back, engaging, and is very fast at capturing a shot. This made it easy for my fiancé and I to have fun and relax while being photographed, which led to some great pictures. I would happily hire Ryan again for any professional photography need and would recommend you do the same.

Beautiful Photography

Ryan Flynn produced beautiful photos that told the story of our wedding day, which continues to bring the event to life months after. Ryan's demeanor is cool, calm & collected - there is no stress from Ryan at all. While I barely noticed him during the event, he was able to capture the day without being a distraction or nuance to the flow of the event. That being said, I was a little nervous to receive the final product, but the photos exceeded my expectations. They were beautifully done and edited. The only thing I would have done differently is been more upfront about pictures I would have wanted outside of normal, or expected shots.

I would recommend Ryan Flynn Photography to any couple looking for a low-key, relaxed experience with photos that will completely exceed your expectations.

Thanks, Ryan Flynn Photography!

Ryan far exceeded our expectations. Initially, he was scheduled to be out of town on the day of our wedding and I was super bummed because I had my heart set on using him. My husband and I scoured the internet for another photographer, and while we did find some that would work, it was hard for me to get excited about them because nothing compared to Ryan's style. I was surprised to receive an email from him saying that we may be able to make the date of our wedding work, and we ended up being able to use him. We were so excited!
The day of our wedding couldn't have gone more smooth, and Ryan played a big part in that. He was an "invisible photographer" most of the time, not trying to pose us or make us do anything unnatural. At the same time, he was very laid back like my husband and I, and we had a blast hanging out with him.
If you want someone who is going to pose you in all of the typical wedding photos the entire time and make you stand still and awkward for far too long, Ryan is not your guy. If you're looking for someone that will just follow you around and nudge you into the best lighting here and there, he's your guy. His portfolio speaks for the quality of his work, but I can tell you that what you don't see in the photos is an all around cool and fun person to work with.

I doubt that words can express the full spectrum of gratitude we feel for having met Ryan, but we'll give it a shot.

From the beginning, Ryan made one thing crystal clear – that it was all about us and our story. Ryan took immense pride in getting to know us as a couple, and did everything in his power to make us feel comfortable.

There was a natural forging of trust that took place between the three of us – one that doesn't come with every photographer. I'm so glad we did engagement photos, as this served as a sort of "practice" for the three of us. The engagement photos were stunning, and the few bits of feedback we gave were happily received by Ryan. By the time the wedding day came, it was as if an old friend just happened to be taking photos while we hung out.

We feel so fortunate to have found Ryan. This incredibly transformational time in our lives has been documented in a way we couldn't have imagined; heartfelt, authentic, and timeless.

From the bottom of our hearts – thank you, Ryan.

Ryan not only produced some epic shots, but also went out of his way to play calming music and have just the right demeanor for both the bride and the groom. Please check out his Instagram or website - you will see!

We traveled from Alabama to Seattle to use Ryan for our engagement photos. He was great with all communication, super accommodating, and made great suggestions for locations. He was really easy to work with (which was great since neither of us are super comfortable in front of the camera). The finished photos were GORGEOUS!

We feel so lucky to have had Ryan shoot our wedding! We got married on Orcas Island, but were planning from Boston and Ryan put us at ease with a lot of communication via video chat and e-mail. Him and his wife even helped us schedule our day and it made everything go so smoothly! He has a talent with colors and composition which makes those special moments even more beautiful. Looking through our photos took me back to our big day and that's what you want to be able to do in the many years to come. He was truly a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be happier with our photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ryan on multiple weddings and it is always such a treat! He is always calm, cool and collected, no matter the circumstances and not only has a great eye for unique photos, but can command family photos as well (a huge plus in my book!). He is quick to respond to emails and delivers images in a timely manner. I am always thrilled when my clients book him!
