Amy was a true blessing and captured our wedding day beautifully! She knows her stuff like the true…read morepro she is. She's confident, comfortable directing guests, and gave us (the bride and groom) clear direction so we'd get the very best shots. Since she's photographed at Chapel Dulcinea so many times, she knew exactly how to work within our 1.5-hour ceremony window to get everything we wanted. She then joined us at our reception brunch and captured all the sentimental moments with our loved ones -- memories we'll treasure for a lifetime. Amy is friendly, professional, and willing to do what it takes for the perfect shot. And she delivered our photos surprisingly fast! Highly, highly recommend.

Amy is an absolute gem and I cannot say enough about how much I adore her and her work. I was…read morenervous about working with a professional photographer when I'm so clearly not a professional model. I was convinced I'd look awkward in front of the camera for my engagement/wedding pictures, but I really wanted to make sure we had photos for both.. I searched around, tried to find a photographer with pictures that captured the romance without unnecessary filtering and editing. I stumbled upon Amy's pictures and fell in love with her style and beautiful use of natural color and lighting. Amy exceeded my expectations tenfold. She was so friendly and approachable the whole time and made me and my (now) husband super comfortable in spite of our concerns. The time we spent together was actually a blast, and she'd give feedback to make sure that we looked our best and help us lighten up. The photoshoot felt like it flew by, and even though we were excited about getting our pictures back, we had NO idea that we were about to get an entire album FULL of INCREDIBLE pictures. That's right. It wasn't a matter of just picking 5 that we liked. We had trouble narrowing down our favorites because Amy rocked it SO HARD and we wound up with 200+ incredible pictures. I'm already looking forward to working with her again in the future so we have more photographed memories over the years. Cannot thank you enough, Amy!

The first thing that drew me to Nicole was her editing style. When looking at other people's…read morewedding photos I knew I was drawn to a specific style of editing and Nicole fit that bill. The first time we met to discuss quotes I felt like I had known her forever. She is such a sweet soul and is amazing at what she does. Her pricing was lower than most in the area, but her quality surpasses most everyone. So far I have only received my 'sneak peeks' back and they are SPECTACULAR!!! I am dying to see the rest. They are light and airy without being overly brightened and they editing is perfect. She was perfect to snap the pictures that mattered most to me as well as ones I would have never thought to ask for. If you need a wedding photographer Nicole Ryan Photography is the way to go!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole's work. We used her for our engagement photos, my…read morebridal portraits, and for our wedding. She was great to work with in so many ways - flexible in scheduling, open to our location ideas, straightforward about her pricing and what her packages included, always punctual - but best of all was how comfortable she made me and my husband feel in front of the camera. My husband is a very, very handsome man (I swear I'm only a little bit biased), but he did not know how to take a good photograph. Until Nicole came along, every photo I had of him his eyes were closed, or crossed, or his mouth was hanging open; he was just generally awkward in front of the camera. Nicole immediately put him at ease. Right from the start she had him cracking up laughing, relaxed and happy, and that definitely shows in our photos. That shoot was when we knew we had found the perfect person to work with. Most other vendors had a list of locations they shot at, and we wanted to do ours at the "til death do us part" mural downtown, and then at a carnival. Other photographers were incredibly hesitant - especially about shooting at night, at a carnival - but Nicole was game right away. She did an amazing job shooting us in a difficult situation, and her photos look great: beautiful, colorful, glowy carnival lights; romantic shots on the carousel and ferris wheel; even some really tough shots of us in the hall of mirrors! When it came time for my bridal portraits I was totally comfortable shooting with Nicole, but not quite comfortable with myself. Like 99% of brides, I was losing weight for the wedding, and wasn't where I wanted to be. I was so nervous that the photos would turn out terribly, that I would hate the way I looked and then start hating my dress and dreading the big day, but I shouldn't have been. Nicole was a great coach, talking me through poses, telling me to tilt my head this way, turn to the light that way, complimenting me, and just making me feel really confident. My bridal portraits turned out absolutely gorgeous. The day of our wedding, Nicole was a joy to have her around. Her enthusiasm was culpable, and she was friendly, upbeat, and sweet. Her photos of me getting ready are amazing - these were not shots that were important to me, but are now some of my favorites. She got great photos of my guests milling around before the ceremony, including some real stunners of my young nephews (the ring bearers). During the ceremony she somehow faded into the background while still getting great angles of me and my husband holding hands, exchanging rings and vows, laughing with each other and our wedding parties, and our friends and family surrounding us with love and warmth. After the ceremony she was a great marshall, getting those who needed to be in photos in and those who needed to get out of photos out - just one more thing that requires a huge amount of tact and delicacy that Nicole handled beautifully! She never misses a detail, down to our menus and guestbook at the reception, beautiful shots of my husband and I cutting the cake together, our guests laughing and talking, and makes everyone looks gorgeous. Her editing is superb, and her prices for prints, books, and DVDs are better than I've found by far. I really just can't say enough great things about Nicole. We can't wait for our next shoot with her - Christmas photos with our doggies. We've found a photographer for life!

Melanie is AWESOME!!!!

The wedding photos turned out amazing, especially the action shots, but the icing on the cake for me was his overall friendly demeanor. I still remember how polite he was with the guests. On our recent anniversary shoot, he was still an awesome person to work with, but this time around I got to pay attention more to how skilled he is at his craft- directing us, spotting the light, interesting backdrops, everything. I can't recommend him enough for your wedding or engagement!
