GEtting to know me a bit better

Hey there! I'm Ryan, the one who finds it a tad awkward talking about myself on my own site. But here's the deal: I'm not just here to snap pics; I'm here to capture the real, unscripted you. Even though I don't like to talk about myself I do think it's important for you to know who is going to be there on one of the most special days of your life. I believe the best photos come from genuine connections, shared laughs, and a touch of dad jokes (My fur baby son featured above). So, if you're up for some lighthearted, candid moments, I'm your go-to wedding photographer. Let's make some magic together.

2008

I drew different Goosebumps covers that I thought were pretty great. Still waiting to hear back from R.L. Stein. l also had a notebook of doodles of my personal Lord Of The Rings fan fiction. This is where the love affair with being creative really started to cook.

WON MOST ARTISTIC IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

2010

I headed to Europe and thought it would be fun to take some photos with a fancy DSLR. Got the basics and fell in love with photography while I was over there. Looking back these images were all very average photos but at the time I was like, "Damn, Ryan you rock at this."

GOT MY FIRST CAMERA AND WENT TO EUROPE 

2012

After graduating from The Business School at the University of Pittsburgh, I got a job working at Dick's Sporting Goods corporate office. Within two years I knew it wasn't the right fit and started doing  photography on the side until I could quit and do it full time.  Still insanely thankful I was supported and able to do this.

DECIDED THE CORPORATE LIFE WASN'T FOR ME

2016

We had a tiny wedding at our favorite villa in Tuscany with the people that we care about most. Has nothing to do with photography but it seems like something I should put on this timeline. Love that girl!

Ab and I goT married!

More About me



I find joy in conversations about making and building things, embarking on hikes in both familiar and uncharted territories, spending time with furry companions, and reveling in the company of friends and family. Whether it's exploring Pittsburgh, camping in Scottish Highlands, honing woodworking skills, biking, road-tripping, or relishing in the simple pleasures of a crisp fall day, I'm all in. Beyond that, my love for travel extends past the typical tourist experience. I thrive on immersing myself in unfamiliar places, trying new foods, and engaging in unique encounters—whether it's sharing a drink with lively Russians in a German cave bar or learning to roll pasta dough from an 80-year-old Italian grandma. The world is brimming with amazing experiences, and I'm eager to dive into as many as I can.  I believe in the power of laughter, having a good time, and recognizing the significance of true love. Every day, I strive to make the most of this incredible life, surrounded by people who share a positive outlook.

For me, photography is about building a connection. It's not just about taking pictures; it's about understanding and capturing the essence of who you are as a couple. Weddings are not just 'big days'; they are the beginning of a rich, fulfilling life with your most beloved person. Establishing trust is key in creating extraordinary photographs, and that's why I prioritize developing a personal relationship with each client. I'm committed to producing photography that is both authentic and artistic.

This is me after pulling a shot of whiskey at sunset in the highlands. Sums me up pretty well.
