  Absolutely incredible!!

  Where do I start? Admittedly, my time with Ryan and Candle and Quill was not spent over a great deal of time. We met and two weeks later, he shot my husband, three pups, and me at home. My husband and I had eloped a year earlier so this was a chance to give us some lifelong photos to hang throughout our house and share with our loved ones, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with every step of the process!
  
  I was immediately drawn to their work, which shows so much life to it. There's not a single photo that doesn't show joy or another emotion in some way. You see the story in their photos and that was what I wanted for us. Speaking with Ryan completely sealed the deal. In today's day and age where everything is so on-demand, and that personal connection can often be missed, we spoke for nearly an hour about all things wedding, and it was no question that C+Q would be an incredible fit for us!
  
  From a business perspective, it's not hard to see the passion behind what they do, which creates such a legacy with their couples and work. My husband and I are currently deciding which photos to print and hang around the house and having the hardest time deciding which several we love the most - not a terrible problem to have by any means!!
  
  We couldn't recommend them more and already look forward to adventures in the future that they can be a part of!!

  Beautiful Photography

  Above a lot of the details with the wedding, I wanted to make sure I picked the perfect photographer that had a specific style I was looking for- Candle & Quill was just that and more!! I am so grateful we had them there for our wedding! My husband and I had a lot of fun talking and getting to know Ryan and Courtney throughout the process as well. They work so well together and do a phenomenal job! I forgot to pick some places to get photos done at the venue but thankfully, they were able to scout the venue and find the perfect spots! They are the best and you will not regret hiring them!!
  (I am not the most tech saavy- the attached photos are screenshots on my phone. They still look amazing though!!)

  one of a kind photos thank to an amazing photographer!

  Ryan and Courtney are incredible at what they do. Their prices are out of this world which is great when you are having to spend money on other vendors! They make amazing photos and know where to take them. Their photos colors are one of the main things that drew me to them. Their photos are a vibe. They are so great to be around and make everything comfortable - especially for someone who feels awkward taking photos, like me! My photos were incredible and are something I will cherish forever!

  Absolutely amazing!!

  My husband & I had our engagement photo session with Candle & Quill. We're both pretty shy/awkward around a camera. Ryan did a fantastic job of making us feel relaxed and actually enjoy ourselves. By the middle of our session, it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend we've known for years. The photos are AMAZING! They truly capture me & my husband…our love, our silliness.
  
  I also had my bridal portraits done by C&Q. They are SO beautiful! If any bride is on the fence about bridal portraits—DO THEM! The bridal shoot gave us dedicated time to get photos of just me in my wedding dress without the time restraints of all the wedding festivities. Ryan was great at coming up with creative suggestions for "poses" or shots, and he was always willing to try any ideas I had. The photos look absolutely magical.
  
  I was one of the brides who’s original wedding date fell in the middle of the pandemic. My husband & I debated what to do (keep original date?, cancel?, elope?) Ryan always checked to see where we were with the planning/replanning & let us know he was willing to do whatever we wanted. I appreciated that he made us feel like a top priority through all the craziness. It was also so nice to work with a vendor that was willing to be flexible.
  Needless to say, I was definitely comfortable having Ryan as my photographer on the wedding day. We had a tiny ceremony in a friend’s backyard. Ryan & his wife Courtney did a fantastic job. They captured so many intimate/personal moments of the day without me even noticing that they were there. I know I’ll cherish these photos forever. I already plan on using C&Q for family portraits & other special events.

  Incredible!

  I can't say enough good things about Ryan and Courtney! With having to reschedule our wedding TWICE (thanks COVID!), they were super flexible and able to work with us and the challenges we faced during this weird time. Having them as our photographers felt like hanging out with friends and they put two fairly awkward people at ease during photos. We will definitely be using them again in the future and highly recommend them to anybody who needs a wedding photographer!

  Candle & Quill Photography's reply:

  It was our pleasure to work with you two! We weren't going to let Covid get the best of us. It means so much to us that you guys feel as if you were shooting with friends rather than just another "vendor". We wish you guys the absolute best!

  Don't get married without them!!!!

  Booking Candle & Quill for our elopement was the best decision we made! Ryan has been wonderful since the day I first emailed about the idea of eloping in lieu of our wedding which we cancelled due to COVID. He was compassionate, responsive, and helped craft the perfect elopement day by helping us pick an elopement spot, nailing down a timeline, and putting the details together. Ryan never took more than a few hours to respond - most of the time he'd respond within the hour! Ryan & Courtney were so fun to be around on wedding day! They were professional and punctual, and were also great fun during our couples session. Courtney even carried my bag! If your fiance (husband!) is anything like mine, he was not too excited about the prospect of taking posed pictures. Ryan & Courtney made us feel happy, funny, quirky, and in love - and it shows in our pictures! We look so happy!! I LOVE photographers who document true happines rather than moody artistic ones. Thank you Ryan & Courtney for such a wonderful experience on an unforgettable day, and for documenting in stunning pictures we will (well, I will) be looking at for years to come!
  
  TL;DR: If you made it this far, BOOK THEM (:

  The best in every way

  Ryan was absolutely amazing to work with on our wedding day and the photos turned out AMAZING. We were forced to reschedule our wedding due to covid and needed to find a photographer ASAP. From the beginning Ryan was super responsive and just awesome to work with. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and Ryan is just a great person. Thank you for making our day so memorable!

  Captured the Moment!

  Ryan was able to capture the best of moments of the entire day. From getting ready, Daddy seeing his little girl in her dress, to the good bye at the end of the night. All the pictures are fabulous! He is easy to work with and very flexible. You can't go wrong using him!!

  Amazing photos and even better people!

  Ryan and his wife, Courtney, took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I immediately fell in love with their photography style and it only took a few seconds on the phone chatting about what our photography vision was before we knew they were the perfect match. Ryan is always available to answer any question and he helped ease all of our fears leading up to our super rainy outdoor wedding. Despite the bad weather and less than ideal backup plan, our pictures were amazing. They perfectly captured our day from start to finish and were super flexible when things didn’t go as planned. We would 10/10 recommend Candle and Quill.

  Ryan and Courtney are awesome making the best of any situation.

  Ryan and Courtney were very nice to work with. The photos we have are beautiful. Ryan got them to us very fast. When the wedding is over you can't wait to see the pictures. We had them quick! Ryan is very responsive to questions, emails, and texts. My only regret is not having more posed pictures of me and my groom, which was completely our fault with bad time management.

  Amazing Photos and Experience!

  Ryan and Courtney of Candle & Quill Photography were AMAZING to work with. They met up with us in the beginning and we immediately knew they would be super reliable and easy going. They traveled to Asheville, NC for our engagement shoot and braved the cold weather to get the exact pictures we wanted. They were so easy to communicate with and often times responded immediately! On our wedding day, they were professional and kept us on track so we didn't fall behind schedule. And O.M.G. the pictures are SO BEAUTIFUL. They exactly captured the emotions and mood of that day and every time I look at the pictures, I remember the excitement and love that surrounded us. Our entire experience with Candle & Quill was amazing and we highly recommend them!! Thanks Ryan and Courtney!

  Amazing experience

  Ryan did an amazing job with both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. Neither me or my husband are photogenic but Ryan was able to make us feel comfortable and get some wonderful shots.

  They captured feeling and not just pictures!

  My photographs came out perfect! Ryan is extremely flexible and very easy to get in touch with. You can see that he truly cares about his photography and he won’t just rush you along to get the job done. I originally found him by using hashtags on Instagram but I have no doubt that he will turn into a regular “preferred vendor”. Affordable for amazing quality AND care. I also got all of my photos in less than a month from my wedding! Ryan and his wife are a great team and do fantastic. More than likely to use again for future family events (:

  We love these people so much! Best decision ever.

  My husband and I don't really even have words to express how much we loved working with Ryan and Courtney. Hiring them was hands down the best and easiest decision we made in planning, AND the best part is that we made friends with some completely amazing, loving, adventure-seeking, genuine, passionate, joyful, incredibly talented people!!! Ryan, the main photographer, has so much creativity inside of him, it's immediately evident (basically palpable) upon meeting him, and he's just so good at what he does. We are so thankful he shares this talent with others. He was born to create and love others. He goes above and beyond capturing the emotion and depth of what's happening around you in every photo. He is so easy to be around and makes shooting with him fun, comfortable, and natural! He drove 4.5 hours to do mine and my husband's engagement shoot because 1) it was close and convenient for us, 2) it was somewhere new he hadn't been before and when he researched online and suggested it he said he thought it looked really cool, 3) he is just awesome, and 4) he said "I could use some windshield time & I really don't mind the drive". Who goes out of your way like that for you?!? Courtney, his sweet wife, was his second shooter for our wedding day, and I am SO glad she was!!! She is also just as skilled with a camera and has a wonderful eye for detail!! She is down to earth, kind-hearted, and relatable. She went out of the way to find some wild flowers and other accent pieces for the "details" photos the morning of our wedding while I was getting ready, and I was SO touched by that. Myself, my husband, my family, and all my friends think they photos are even more beautiful with touches like that. My husband and I, and all of our guests, cannot stop raving about how amazing Ryan and Courtney are, and how beautiful our photos turned out (it's so obvious Ryan poured his heart and soul into editing them and making these memories so special for us)-- my husband and I feel the same, but we mostly feel so blessed to have gotten to meet and walk through this huge chapter of our life with these people. We are looking forward to more adventures with Ryan and Courtney!!! We seriously could not have imagined anyone else to be there celebrating with us and capturing these moments. Knowing your vendors are more like friends just makes your day 10000% more special. You can absolutely not go wrong investing in Candle & Quill. You will gain SO much more than you give, without a doubt!! Thank you guys. We love you!!!!!

  My husband and I don't really even have words to express how much we loved working with Ryan and Courtney. Hiring them was hands down the best and easiest decision we made in planning, AND the best part is that we made friends with some completely amazing, loving, adventure-seeking, genuine, passionate, joyful, incredibly talented people!!! Ryan, the main photographer, has so much creativity inside of him, it's immediately evident (basically palpable) upon meeting him, and he's just so good at what he does. We are so thankful he shares this talent with others. He was born to create and love others. He goes above and beyond capturing the emotion and depth of what's happening around you in every photo. He is so easy to be around and makes shooting with him fun, comfortable, and natural! He drove 4.5 hours to do mine and my husband's engagement shoot because 1) it was close and convenient for us, 2) it was somewhere new he hadn't been before and when he researched online and suggested it he said he thought it looked really cool, 3) he is just awesome, and 4) he said "I could use some windshield time & I really don't mind the drive".

  One of our favorite vendors!

  Candle & Quill is a breeze to work with! We initially had them do our engagement photos and as soon as we got the photos back we knew we were going to hire them for our wedding too. They have such a great eye for detail, are unobtrusive when they’re shooting and have a unique style that really stands out. We’ve had so many compliments on our phots and I never get tired of looking at them. We definitely plan to hire them again once the family starts to grow ;)

  GGG- Genuinely Genuine Guy

  Ryan was so great and accommodating from the moment I reached out. He is the kind of guy that is so relatable and makes you feel comfortable being photographed when it can seem so unnatural to you. Before taking me as a client I reached out and we talked about every aspect of my day that would make it special to me. He worked with me to provide everything I asked for to commemorate what was the best day of my life- as well as an amazing engagement shoot! My photos turned out incredible, and he didn't even have to run them through the "skinny machine"! Just great quality photos that I can have to remember my wedding day forever. Thank you Ryan! Your a 10/10, 5-star, one of a kind photographer :)

  Extremely Happy!

  I’m beyond happy with Candle & Quill Photography. Ryan was very easy and comfortable to work with, even my husband(who’s not super into pictures being taken) was able to enjoy the experience! It was very easy to communicate with him, he responded and was very organized which I greatly appreciated. Along with his professionalism our photos turned out amazing, better than I could have imagined and am very excited to get them in frames!

  Ryan is the bomb.com!

  Ryan was so much fun to work with! Highly recommend him for any photography needs! He wasn’t afraid to get wet with us in the waterfalls for our engagements and did his best to capture every moment and detail from start to finish on our wedding day!

  October Wedding 2018

  Very easy and fun to work with. Sometimes having pictures done can be awkward and he made sure it wasn't. Had a blast and pictures turned out amazing.

  Candle & Quill Photography's reply:

  Two words really stick out in your review..."fun" and "comfortable"! If you walked away from a fun experience and you were comfortable through it all...my job is complete! You guys were an absolute blast to hang with, and such a beautiful day to capture in so many ways. Love you two!

  Candle and Quill is the Best!

  Ryan is such a pleasure to work with! We could not have asked for a better photographer for our engagement and our wedding. From the first conversation over the phone, my husband and I knew Ryan was our go to photographer. He did such a wonderful job capturing the joy and emotion of our day. Our pictures turned out better than we could have dreamed of! We highly recommend using Candle and Quill Photography!!
