Aviva N. Sent on 01/27/2024Amazing photographer with local knowledge!
Ryan was the best photographer we could've worked with! We eloped and Ryan did a great job of making us feel comfortable and natural throughout our photos. He was extremely flexible on location and time with the mountains being so unpredictable with weather in January. While we knew some of our favorite places in the area, he also showed us some secret spots that produced amazing photos. He also got some get action shots of our dogs!
Overall, Ryan was a phenomenal person to work with- great communication, incredible photography, and a fun person to be with. We would recommend him to anyone! -

Ryan was so great to work with from start to finish. We scheduled our elopement very last minute (two weeks out) and Ryan made scheduling, the contract, location, and plan for the day so easy and stress-free. He had a solid plan for the day of and knew exactly where to go around Mammoth Lakes and at what time so the lighting was perfect. He also had a plan to get the coolest moon rise pictures, which was totally unexpected and magical. We couldn't be happier with our pictures!

Amazing photographer!!!
Ryan caught every moment that seemed insignificant at the time, but are constant, forever memories of how truly special our entire day was. We truly look back, on a weekly basis, at these photos and smile (and are in awe). Thank you for capturing our day! Highly recommend -

Better than we could have ever imagined!
We were so incredibly happy that we hired Ryan to photograph our wedding. His calm and cool demeanor was the first thing that attracted us to his services. The first time we met up in Mammoth he rode his bike over to our campsite and we sat at the picnic table to chat. Down to earth and personable, exactly how we wanted our wedding to be. He arrived on time, was extremely professional with all of our guests, and captured every moment of our special day. We had some special requests (like a motorcycle photo shoot after the ceremony and some Milky Way shots at the end of the reception) and Ryan did an amazing job with both of them! Working with Ryan was a wonderful experience, we are so happy with how our photographs came out. If you are a mountain lover, down to earth forest dweller, and outdoor enthusiast, Ryan knows exactly how to capture the essence of your special moments. Plus, he threw in engagement photos that he did out at the hot creek hot springs which came out incredible too! Cannot express enough gratitude. -

Absolutely amazing experience working with Ryan - we cannot provide a stronger recommendation for a photographer for your wedding or other special event. Not only were his photos amazing, his demeanor and attitude made him an absolute pleasure to have out our wedding as well. Thanks Ryan! -

We got married in June Lake in early October and we knew we wanted a local who could capture the Eastern Sierra's beauty - Ryan exceeded our expectations.
We ended up having clouds, rain AND snow on the day of the wedding and his expertise helped us get the most incredible shots that we never could've imagined while we were planning the wedding. His calm demeanor was also incredibly helpful as we navigated the elements. :)
Would recommend Ryan to anyone - the photos speak for themselves! -

Perfection!
Ryan was truly the best photographer we could have picked for our dream wedding. We got married in Mammoth Lakes and since he is local, he knew ALL of the perfect spots. We got about a dozen photos right away. Every single photo is absolutely stunning! If you are still searching for a photographer, your search ends here! You will not be disappointed! -

We used Ryan for our Elopement Wedding in Mammoth on 5/31/23 and we highly recommend him. His local knowledge of the area for amazing picturesque locations and timing of best lighting was so perfect. We love all of our pictures and our friends and family are in awe of them too! He was fun to hang out with too, it felt like we were with a friend the whole time. -

Dream Wedding Photos
Ryan is an incredible photographer! My husband and I got married in the Eastern Sierra mountain and couldn’t have been happier with how amazing our wedding photos turned out. From the start, Ryan was quick to respond to questions and/or concerns, professional, organized, patient, personable, and passionate about his work. He made taking photos so much fun for not only my husband and me, but all of our guests. He took the time to research the sunset time and scout for the most beautiful places to take pictures prior to our wedding ceremony. In addition, he asked me to make a quick and simple family photo variations, which was very helpful the day of the wedding. This helped taking family photos so easy! Ryan was quick to get our wedding photos to us. Soon after our wedding, we received a sneak peek of our photos and quickly after that, our entire wedding album! After our wedding, we had many of our family members and guests compliment how amazing Ryan was. He captured our entire wedding day perfectly! -

Andrew B. Sent on 09/19/2022Best wedding photographer in Yosemite
Ryan is probably one of the best photographers in the Yosemite area, as he is both a well-known landscape photographer and wedding photographer. My wife and I hired Ryan to shoot our wedding at Tenaya Lake after interviewing several other photographers, and we couldn’t have been more happy with that decision. Ryan is extremely talented and creative, and his photos show it. The lighting and composition of the photos were excellent, and he got some epic shots of us around Yosemite.
Ryan was super easy to work with, efficient, and extremely flexible with the planning process, considering we split the day into two separate photo shoots. He knows the park so well, and one of our favorite parts of our wedding day was having Ryan shoot us at his “secret” spots around the Tuolumne Meadows area. He really made us feel comfortable the whole time, which is something that’s not always easy to do.
He even went the extra mile to show up and hour early to our ceremony and helped coordinate and manage our guests through a passing thunderstorm.
I highly recommend Ryan if you’re in need of a wedding photographer in the Yosemite area.
Thanks Ryan for everything!

Wedding photos I will cherish for a lifetime.
Working with Ryan, was like working with a friend. I felt so incredibly comfortable working with Ryan. He gave the perfect amount of direction and made sure to cover all of the photos we asked for on our list. He took us to beautiful places for our photos which ended up being the most incredible photos I could have ever asked for. He also has an amazing eye for capturing candid photos that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend working with Ryan. -

Ryan is the best!
We absolutely loved working with Ryan! From start to finish he is professional and responsive in the process, and a very creative photographer. Our engagement photoshoot took place in Yosemite Valley and he knew the area well, including where to go for epic sunset and beautiful meadow shots. For our wedding at Evergreen Lodge he captured both our joy and the joy and fun of our guests - our favorite photos are his candids and he has a great eye for them. He was also such a chill guy to hang out with and made me more comfortable with the process of taking countless couple/wedding photos. Would 100% recommend him for any and all of your photography needs! -

Ryan did an amazing job photographing our recent wedding at Convict Lake. I highly recommend him. Perks, he knew the venue and all the spots to get rad photos. He was very diligent with communication from the day we reached out to him to after photos were edited and sent our way. Not only did Ryan get awesome shots of us and our wedding party, some of my favorite photos were the candids from both our ceremony and reception. Great work, professional and all around nice guy. Check out his landscape work as well! -

The coolest dude with serious talent!
Ryan is incredible! We loved his landscape shots and asked if he could do our engagement photos. We liked those so much we asked if he could also shoot our wedding. He did not disappoint and we now have the best wedding photos we could have asked for. Not only does he take great landscape and nature shots, he really knows how to make people feel comfortable and the photos prove it. He's the coolest dude with the best attitude and a real gift! It was truly an honor to have worked with him especially through the delays and difficulty that Covid brought us. If Ryan is available for your engagement shoot or wedding, BOOK HIM! Thanks Ryan! -

Devyn W. Sent on 06/10/2021We absolutely love our photos!
We would highly, highly recommend Ryan Alonzo as a wedding photographer, especially if you are getting married in Yosemite National Park. He knows all the best spots for photos! Ryan was able to capture our day with El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Half Dome, and the Merced River in the background. And got all these shots in 4 hrs with my broken foot! We could not be more impressed! He was great to work with and was very responsive. Thank you Ryan! -
