We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ryan. He is an amazing photographer and amazing man. His laid back personality and wonderful engaging interactions put us at ease from our first consultation. Our engagement photos were amazing and we knew our wedding would be even better. He is a true artist and knows his craft. He captured all of our amazing moments in such a great way. We just loved Ryan! If you book him you will not be disappointed. Also to note his photo turn around time is amazing! -

Mike Sent on 10/03/2023He was the right choice!
Ryan did a great job for my wife and I for our wedding. In short, he made sure that he had all of the getting ready, romantic, ceremony, family, and wedding party pictures taken, and gave us the entire 1500 photo portfolio in full quality 2 days after our wedding day--and at a price better than most professional photographers. It was great to work with someone who had quite a bit of experience--every bit helps to keep things on track, time wise, especially when your weddding coordinator isn't great. Thank you, Ryan! -

Excellent Photographer!
HIGHLY recommend Ryan Brandoff to anyone looking for a superb photographer! He was incredibly professional, and attentive to every detail. While we had a small courthouse ceremony, we had multiple locations around the northern suburbs that we wanted for our photos. Ryan was very flexible and chill, even suggesting a few other locations to grab unique shots. Ryan captured the magic of the day and we are so happy he was part of it! He also edited and sent our photos super quickly! If you are looking for a superior photographer who is professional, creative, flexible, and delivers high quality photos, Ryan Brandoff Photography is for you! -

Sophia Sent on 07/12/2021Made my beautiful day more special than I could have imagined
I contacted Ryan about 2 weeks before me wedding because my photographer at the time was ignoring me and not even treating me like a person, just business. My fiancé was away for military service and we had gone through the ringer after my identity was stolen and other tragedies. The day that I spoke with Ryan about my wedding he reminded me that a wedding isn’t about stress or money, it’s about my partner and I committing ourselves for live. He reminded me about the beauty of a wedding and that he wanted to help me celebrate. Not only did he make things so much easier for me but he truly did help me celebrate! I told him I would pay him the last installment on my wedding day but he insisted I give him a hug instead and worry about money later. He truly is what the wedding business should be reflected as. My guests the days to follow told me how much they loved him being there! Especially on the dance floor later that night. I got my photos about a week later, Ryan is a phenomenal photographer and an even kinder soul. He was a pleasure to be around and I can never thank him enough for helping me celebrate our day -

Brianna Sent on 05/26/2021Amazing overall experience!
Ryan and his business partner Daveed did such an amazing job capturing the most perfect day of our lives. They traveled from Chicago to Green Bay to shoot our wedding and got out photos back to us in less that 48 hours after the wedding. Their service was worth every penny and they are also the coolest guys you will ever meet. Super chill, flexible, and very professional with their quality of work. I would highly recommend Ryan Brandoff to anyone looking for an amazing photographer who is energetic, passionate, fun and a complete bad a$$. -

A long time friend of mine, I already knew Ryan did amazing work but my husband and I were blown away by the creativity, particularly in our first look photos. For such a simple setting he saw great opportunities in places we wouldn't have even thought to use. He also really helped to lighten the nerves and have some fun before the actual ceremony. Ryan exceeded even my expectations, despite having known him for years and seeing his talents really develop. We are now looking forward to getting a maternity photo shoot done and then hopefully some pics of our newborn when he arrives! -

Wonderful photographer: has a good eye and and a pleasure to work with!
Ryan was fantastic from the moment we met him to see if he was a good fit. He was able to give his input when needed but also took directions extremely well. -

Ryan was an absolute joy to work with. He's professional, but also very fun! Ryan shot our engagement photos which was perfect for us to get comfortable with being in front of the camera for the big day. Our photos turned out beautiful and we couldn't be happier. -

Ryan is a madman!! His talent and enthusiasm and skill are insane! He's not just some guy with a fancy camera. He can look at the surroundings and say "in 3 minutes the sun is going to break thru that cloud and bounce off that building, so you stand here... like this..." and it will be f***ing spectacular. We had an absolute blast during the shoot! Staged photos, candid shots, serious, silly, romantic, classic, modern, Ryan can do it all. I could have spent 10x as much money, time, effort, and worry and still not gotten even 1/10th of the outrageous quality I got with Ryan. Every single thing about working with Ryan was easy, fun, fast, and just all around astounding. Superb. 10/ 5 stars. I still quite literally lose my mind when I look at the photos, and every person who sees them is understandably amazed. So many of my friends and family are disappointed with their wedding photos, but I could not be more stoked. Ryan is GIFTED; you will treasure both his photos and your experience working with him. Do yourself a favor and book him NOW. You'll regret it if you dont. -

Chris Sent on 07/18/2019Ryan is one of a kind!
I couldn't be happier that my daughter and her husband choose Ryan as their photographer. The day was a whirlwind and I hardly remembered what happened. And then the photos came and I realized Ryan captured all those moments in such beautiful detail!
Ryan is artistic and creative, but most importantly down to earth and fun. He is friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic. Highly recommended!!

He was fantastic!
Having Ryan as our photographer was nothing short of spectacular! From our very first meeting, I knew he would make our experience enjoyable, and worry free. He was very attentive to our needs, and wants and gave 100%. I would recommend him to anyone! -

Michael Sent on 11/23/2018It was perfect!
Ryan was amazing. We had an informative consultation where he explained the process and answered any questions that we had. We decided to have the engagement shoot at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It was perfect! Ryan has a passion for his profession that put my wife and I at ease! The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. He had a few spontaneous ideas that turned out to be excellent pictures! Don’t think you’re going to just smile and look at the camera. We were impressed with the video he produced too. If you’re not sure about the video I would say to go for it. He gave us the uncut video, and the montage video he made to the song we had our first dance to has us watching it over and over. I would highly recommend Ryan. He will not disappoint. -
Mizuki Sent on 09/25/2018From start to finish Ryan was awesome to work with. He was very easy going, professional, and captured incredible photos of our destination wedding in Mexico. His drone shots are amazing!

Beth Sent on 12/05/2017Ryan was awesome! He always got back to me right away with any questions I had. He got all the photos I asked for and some. They turned out even more amazing then I ever thought possible. He was very professional as well. And the turn around time for the Engagement photos and wedding photos was faster then expected as well. He is great to work with and takes the time to get to know you, I'm a little awkward when it comes to photos but he was able to get me to loosen up and capture the true us :-) -

Jordan Sent on 05/23/2017Ryan made our wedding so awesome. We booked Ryan a year and 4 months in advance because we fell in love with his style of photography and his personality. We thought we wouldn't hear from him until closer to the wedding and he might even forget us since it was a whole year until the wedding but instead he kept in touch and emailed us time to time to see how we were doing and see if the planning was going well. From the start he worked around anything we threw at him - from time frames to locations for photos. The day of the wedding he was so positive, funny and energetic and just the best person to have around. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend instead of an awkward photographer who tells you how to pose and smile. The one thing I kept hearing from my guests and family members was how nice our photographer was and still get told that even three weeks after the wedding. When we finally got the finished photos we were beyond happy. The turn around time was amazing too. The photos were so amazing and looked almost unreal how awesome they were. Ryan made everything fun and beautiful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. -

Kay Sent on 01/30/2016Ryan made our special day memorable not only with the beautiful moments he managed to capture but also in his company. He's got an attitude, character and talent that's genuine and rare. He was able to communicate with my husband and I, as well as manage the chaos around him with ease and patience. It was nice not having to have another thing to worry about, I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking for a photographer for their special day. -

Catherine Sent on 01/22/2016Ryan was wonderful! So personable and professional. He took the time to understand what photos and style we were looking for. Before the day even began I felt confident he was going to capture our day beautifully. And he certainly delivered! I recommend him a hundred times over.
