Simply the best
Photos were my #1 priority for my November 2023 wedding, and I was looking for something specific. I wanted photos that felt unique to other wedding photos, and I was hoping for an artsy, moody vibe. When I came across their Instagram, I reached out immediately. I love that Ryan’s response was professional, yet so friendly and casual. Our meeting went great, their prices were fair given the quality of the work, and we booked them right away. When they arrived on our wedding day, I immediately felt comfortable. It was like having friends that just so happened to be capturing every magical moment of your wedding day. We had a lot of fun with them! I recently received our photo gallery and was totally blown away. All of our friends and family are also in total awe of the photos. We have joked about wallpapering our house with them because we can’t decide what to frame! They aren’t just wedding photos, they are truly pieces of art. We are so grateful for Gina and Ryan for both their kindness and talent. They’re the best! -

the MVP of our wedding
It’s hard to say enough good things about Gina and Ryan’s artistry and character. We fell in love with the style of their photos on Instagram and knew that having them travel to our wedding in Colorado was a must. At both our engagement shoot in Santa Monica and our day in the Rocky Mountains, Ryan made us feel comfortable, confident, and totally ourselves (we weren’t able to meet Gina, but I do know she was working her editing magic behind the scenes). Ryan was a guiding and calming presence throughout the day, and we so appreciate that he’s game for anything in order to make our vision come true, from driving with us off-site after the ceremony to a cabin in the woods, to scouting out the perfect mountain backdrop the day before our wedding. During our engagement shoot, Ryan rode in a roller coaster cart with us so he could capture the action shots we so desperately wanted - need I say more?
There is even more to say - the final products we received from Gina and Ryan are breathtaking. They did with our photos exactly what we loved about all of their photos we saw online. They captured the whimsical, natural essence of our relationship, they brought a vintage magic to all of the shots, and they made everyone look really damn good. Gina and Ryan will find the emotional or adrenaline-filled moments you didn’t even realize were happening, and make your day look even cooler (yes, it’s possible) than it did in person. Run to book them - you will be so very happy you did! -

Blown Away
My now husband and I knew prior to booking them we’d get great photos, but didn’t anticipate just how over the moon we are with how ours turned out. I can’t say enough amazing things about Gina & Ryan. They’re professional, fun, super creative and flowed in and out of the day. They helped guide us while just shooting candidly - which are my favorite photos from all the photos took! We are overwhelmed because we love every single one so much we don’t know what to do with them all. Invest in your wedding photos and invest in Gina & Ryan, you will not regret it! -

We love Gina & Ryan Photography! We are so grateful to have worked with Ryan for our intimate elopement this August. He was incredibly professional, personable, charming, and supremely creative - adjectives which might seem exaggerated, but we truly mean every word. Ryan had such a talent for helping both of us feel at ease throughout the entire day. His exceptional professionalism and experience allowed him to both guide us through the more structured series of photoshoots as well as blend in and capture those ever elusive candid moments. Ryan had so many brilliant ideas for getting the most out of the beautiful property we rented in the hills above Malibu. Ryan’s eye found details both before, after, and throughout our ceremony that we never would have thought of – it was incredible. He actually scouted parts of the property even we hadn’t discovered which ended up producing such beautiful moments for us. Our photos are absolutely perfect, we couldn't ask for anything more (and all our friends are amazed at how perfect our photos are!!) We could not be more thrilled, or feel more lucky, to have worked with Ryan and we wholeheartedly recommend him and Gina to absolutely everyone! -

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team! Ryan and Gina are not only talented, they are incredibly professional and organized. They were great to work with every step of the way: the contracting process was seamless; Ryan was very helpful in pre-planning and was super fun to work with day of; and the follow-up post-wedding was great. We are so glad they were our photography team! -

Gina & Ryan Photography was a fantastic choice to document our wedding and engagement. We were blown away by the artistry of the photographs we received. The angles, the light, and the genuine emotion they caught in the faces of us and our guests is unbelievable. They captured not just pictures of us, but they captured our story. How it genuinely felt to be in all of the moments that unfolded throughout our wedding day. Gina and Ryan both have a positive and chill energy, so when things needed to be switched up or we were running behind, they acted like it was no big deal which really created this low-pressure environment that I’m grateful for. Their photojournalistic approach allowed us to be present in the moment while capturing stunning candids and raw emotion. They did not disappoint and I’d recommend them to everyone looking for highly skilled photographers. -

Yu Wang Sent on 04/21/2020Best wedding investment
We were lucky enough to squeeze in our wedding elopement right at the cusp of the Covid lockdown and we couldn't be more grateful for Gina & Ryan's services that day -- they are by far the best wedding investment we made as their talent and inconspicuous lens captured the best of romance despite the quarantine challenge. Our plans changed daily leading up to the wedding date and they were completely flexible and supportive to our agenda at every turn. In terms of the photography, they are natural directors and curators: there is an essence to their candid shots that is not only uniquely artistic, but authentic, endearing and detail oriented. Last but not least, the slideshow is a bonus track that is so thoughtfully sequenced and emotionally punctuated. We couldn't recommend them with more fanfare and gratitude. -

Mallory C. Sent on 07/12/2020Gorgeous Photos and Wonderful Experience!!
Our wedding photos were one of the most important aspects of our big day and Gina and Ryan totally delivered! Not only were they super easy to work with during the whole planning process and the day of the wedding, but both Gina and Ryan were kind, supportive, and professional.
We really appreciated that they not only wanted to capture key moments of our wedding, but really strive to create beautiful photographs. They are masters of capturing the emotion and feeling of each moment - that’s something that takes a lot of skill and experience.
Honestly, these two are the real deal and their work speaks for itself. Gina and Ryan are photographers at the top of their class and we are so grateful to have these stunning and emotional photos to relive these memories. Thank you Gina and Ryan for capturing our big day!!

We truly believe Gina and Ryan are the best photographers out there! They photographed our wedding which was as everything but ordinary. Our venue was affected by the Woolsey fire on our actual wedding day and because of that we had to relocate and have our wedding at one of our friend’s house. Gina and Ryan met us at the new location without any hesitation and made us feel very comfortable especially under those circumstances. I don’t even have the words to describe how beautiful the pictures came out!! We were seriously in shock beacause of how gorgeous all the photos were! Since we went thought so much that day, I honestly didn’t expect to get such AMAZING shots. They all have an organic, elegant feel to them. They are artistic yet very earthy ... exactly what we envisioned them to be and more! Gina and Ryan were also very good at describing what to do and where to look while they were shooting. They are genuine, calm, focused, down to earth and really know what they are doing! They are also really cool which made it so much better. We would hire them again in a heart beat. We couldn’t imagine having anyone else photograph us on that special day. -

Luciana A. Sent on 12/03/2021They are amazing! We love every single photo.
We did a session with Ryan when I was 8m pregnant. We are both quite uncomfortable and awkward in front of the camera, Ryan made us feel super comfortable. The results are amazing! Nothing like those cheesy and tacky maternity photos you see out there. I absolutely love them! -

Christine Sent on 01/03/2018O. M. G. My husband and I loveeee Gina & Ryan! Just everything about them was great! The photos they take are amazing. And they are just as great as the photos they take. It's nice to have a husband and wife team document your day. I feel as if they take photos as how they would have wanted on their wedding day which is a big plus. From the emails and planning, they were so responsive to everything. Even helped getting us some vendor referrals as well. Right when we met them, we knew they were the ones for us. We love the whole photojournalistic vibe and how they edit the photos and they delivered just that, if not more. I love how they are so honest too. They made us feel comfortable taking photos as well, and my husband and I rarely get our photos taken of ourselves. But they put us at ease. What we loved as well is that the day of the wedding, during dinner Gina will go and edit some photos that have been taken already. And she'll get to work. I dropped in to see how she was doing during dinner time, and she was so focused editing on her laptop. Later towards the evening, they'll put a a monitor that they bring themselves on a place where guests can see. She put the monitor on one of our bars, and then photos that they have taken OF THE SAME DAY will display on the screen. Love love love. Just above and beyond our expectations. Another great thing I loved was HOW FAST they were to get our family photos taken. I was dreading the family photos because my side and my husbands side have BIG families. They had a plan for it, and executed it well AND fast so that we allll could enjoy the rest of the evening. And all the photos that they displayed during the reception, they sent them to us the next day to hold us over until we receive the rest of them! And there were a lot to hold us over! We can't wait to see the rest!! Thank you so much Gina & Ryan!!!!

Cristina Sent on 10/08/2018Gina and Ryan are not just professionals, they are artists. They tell a story with every frame. When my husband and I sat down to go through the photos they delivered, we felt as if we were watching our wedding video. Every shot is filled with emotion. Every photo is purposeful - every SINGLE one. Because they are truly creating something every second that goes by with their cameras in their hands. I could not recommend Gina and Ryan enough. You are guaranteed to love every photo and to love working with them! They made me and my husband feel like we had been friends for a long time when we met. Their services are worth every penny. When we renew our vows, we're definitely going with them again. :)

Lacey Sent on 08/11/2015We've finished our engagement session and have booked Gina and Ryan for our wedding. Our engagement photos are spectacular. I'm an actress and I've modeled plenty over the years. I'm pretty picky. Let me tell you, our photos are astounding and the best photos I've ever seen of me or my fiance (neither model nor actor). They offer the perfect advice before your session too so you go in feeling pretty confident.
If you're concerned about your photos looking too "pose-y" or like something your parents did- these are the people to hire. They immediately put you at ease. They are incredibly friendly people who really care about capturing your story. My fiance was concerned about being in front of the camera with me and you know what? His worries disappeared into thin air.
They are total pros and great communicators. Emails, phone calls, everything was quickly responded to. Contract and info spelled out to a T. Photos promptly made available. I cannot express to you how happy all this makes me.
A few of my bridesmaids have seen the engagement photos and I've already heard things like, "Hell yes, I'm gonna look great in aaaaall of your wedding photos." (True story, quoted from today.)
Also, they're interesting people. Essentially, you can't go wrong hiring this pair of photographers.
