Fantastic Photographer
Ryan captured stunning and priceless photos of our perfect day. His pricing was reasonable and he responded to emails and questions promptly, was super accommodating, was always there when I needed a quick shot taken, and was down to have fun with our dinosaur-themed wedding! Bonus: He was super fun to work with!! Authentic and down to earth. Thanks for everything, Ryan!!
Photo notes: I didn't know how to choose my faves. -

Ryan was AMAZING!!! My husband and I did a nice ceremony on the parkway with just family. Ryan was very responsive throughout the entire process. Gave us great options for places to go and was very reasonable in his pricing. The day of the ceremony he was prompt, took his time, and you could really tell how much he loved what he was doing. We are forever grateful that he captured our most important day. -

Claire E. Sent on 11/17/2019Ryan is truly AWESOME!
We found Ryan on the internet and after speaking to him for 5 minutes it was like talking to a friend! We had a destination wedding outside of Ashville so the first time I met Ryan was standing in a bridal gown with my hair half in curls and slippers. He is such a gem, never flusters, so easy to work with and has this calming (great for brides) fun character. I had my 14-year-old stepdaughter as my Maid Of Honor and in no time he had her swirling and giggling for the photo’s as we were getting ready!
At the last minute we had a change of plans as it began to rain. Ryan scanned the house we were staying in (which was beautiful) and picked out some great spaces for photos. I never missed the fact that we weren’t outside, he was so creative and took some wonderful unique pics. At the reception Ryan was everywhere capturing the moments, laughing with the guests and never missed a thing!
I absolutely love my wedding pictures; they capture the essence of what my husband and I felt that night. A wonderful celebration with great families and friends!
I would highly recommend Ryan, you get way more than a photographer, he is truly awesome!

Kaitlyn Sent on 10/26/2018Incredible Photos to Capture a Perfect Day!
Ryan was recommended to us by our venue owners and we could not have been more thankful that he was!
Before the wedding, Ryan walked us through the wedding photography process, he communicated extensively with us and answered all of the questions we had. His packages are affordable and well worth every penny spent! We very much enjoyed working with him- he made us excited for our wedding! And the photos are absolutely perfect. Clean, beautiful, professionally shot- we’ve been looking over them almost every day now!
As far as the wedding went, Ryan is an EXCELLENT photographer and his second shooter was as too! The team got all the shots we could have wanted with friends and family (scripted shots, so to speak) and the best candid shots we have ever seen during the reception. They blend into the party! They danced with us and got wonderful pictures on the dance floor- the kind of pictures that are sure to spark memories and smiles for years to come! Ryan’s HAND-BUILT photo-booth was top notch too! He replenishes his prop supply after every Halloween and boy did he have some good ones for us to use! While guests got their pictures printed (like a classic photobooth), we got all of the digital copies that night! -
Melissa Sent on 07/07/2018Our family could not have asked for a better photographer to meet our needs and execute the bride's vision at Grove Park Inn in June. When we first met with him in February, the bride communicated that she wanted to be very "present" at her wedding and not taken away from experiencing the special day with tons of photographs before the wedding; she actually decided to not do a "first look" so as to keep the day more relaxed and to let Ryan capture the groom and her authentically in the moment at the ceremony.
Ryan reassured Laura that he was totally flexible and he valued and understood her more laid-back approach to capturing the big day.
Ryan and his assistant were a pleasure to work with and did their job so seamlessly! Their calm helped keep the couple of hours leading up to the ceremony anxiety-free and fun. And during the ceremony and reception at the Pavilion, they executed the bride's vision for photographs with ease and joy.
The pictures are amazing and capture exactly what Laura wanted captured: an intimate CELEBRATION of love with family and closest friends. We would recommend Ryan to anyone and especially respected how he made the bride's vision his priority. Ryan is so great at what he does!
Thank you, thank you, Ryan!

Susan Sent on 04/08/2018Ryan was so wonderful to work with ! He was prompt and highly professional. His personality is easygoing. He was on his game constantly. Ryan was able to create some really nice shots with the beautiful scenery and his expertise . My husband and I were extremely pleased with Ryan. We are very glad that we hired him to photograph our wedding. He made our day stress free and even more special than it already was. I highly recommend Ryan for any event you might need him to take pictures for. [Susan and Felix, married at The Terraces Hotel, Lake Junaluska, Friday, April 6, 2018] -
Lori Sent on 10/31/2017We were so fortunate to have Ryan Bumgarner recommended for our Asheville vow renewal! It was a pleasure having him be part of our special day! From point of contact, contract, event and receipt of pictures we were thoroughly impressed with Ryan’s professionalism. We were even more impressed with how he worked with us to get the best pictures. He was very relaxed and personable, which helped us relax. You’d think after 25 years, we’d be used to having pictures taken, but we are not. Something about knowing that camera is pointing at you. Thank you so much Ryan for the extra effort so we could enjoy the experience! We have beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever!

Lindsey Sent on 11/02/2016We could not have been happier with Ryan Bumgarner! We took his advice for specific photo locations given the fact that we live out of town and they were absolutely beautiful! His incredible personality and calming nature makes the perfect combination on what can be a stressful day! He was very professional and great with my 2 year old niece! My husband and I would highly recommend him for any professional photographer needs. Check out his Facebook page for some incredible examples of what he’s capable of!! Ryan Bumgarner Photography

Maggie Sent on 10/26/2016Ryan was fantastic to work with! We had a destination wedding that had a few unique features. Ryan did an amazing job capturing all the amazing moments of the day without us feeling like their were cameras around us all day. He blended in with our guests so well that my guests kept commenting on how great he was. We received a large amount of pictures back very quickly and they are breathtaking. Ryan's photos are so good that I've already considered the possibility of visiting in years to do updated family photos and we live 8 hours away! We really enjoyed Ryan and cannot thank him enough for the beautiful photos of our special day.
