My wife and I happened upon Ryan by pure luck... ok, she might read this and I learned in the How…read moreTo Create A Happy Home book that you never share credit with your wife when you can give it all to her, so what I meant to say is... My wife found Ryan, and I am very, very happy she did. My wife and I got married on May 24, 2009 and Ryan and his beautiful assistant Emily, captured it all masterfully. As wedding planning went, finding the photographer was probably the hardest part for us. Every friend, family member and coworker knows a guy in the business. We ended up looking at a ton of websites and other photographers work. We weren't impressed and we really didn't like the cookie cutter feel of the recycled poses everyone seemed to use. We wanted something different. When we... I mean my wife, saw Ryan's web-page (ryanholloway.smugmug.com), we knew we happened upon that "something different" we had been searching for. We contracted him for engagement photos and the wedding. I had never heard of engagement photos before I learned from my then-fiance that they are a must have. Ryan met us one chilly October morning down by the water in Alexandria. For the sake of art, we lost the jackets and stared into the sun for an hour. I am very glad we did, because they turned out great and we ended up using them for Christmas gifts and in all forms of propaganda that was created building up to the big day. The day of the wedding, Ryan and Emily were prompt, never obtrusive, and complete professionals. They never seemed to be in the way, but after seeing the pictures it was obvious they were everywhere. Even those normally dreaded shots you have to take with just brothers, then just sister, then both, then with parents, and repeat... all went by comfortably and relaxed thanks to their demeanor. I also learned after seeing the pictures is that what Ryan really excels at is his ability to capture the feelings and emotions in every shot. The artistic touch and personality he put on every picture is amazing. As I mentioned, finding a photographer we wanted was the hardest part of our wedding planning preparations. Ryan Holloway Photography ended up blowing away our expectations. We were very lucky to have had Ryan and Emily capture such a huge day in our lives.

After reading the first review, I realize I have a tough act to follow -- all very well said Nathan…read moreand we can't agree more! It's funny - we had exactly the same experience in terms of finding the right photographer. We knew we wanted something unique, but figuring out exactly what was challenging. After seeing Ryan's website and setting up an appointment with him, we knew we found our match. Let's face it. Nowadays, expensive cameras as everywhere. Trust me, we had about 6 of them at my wedding and thousands of pictures to match. You know what else is everywhere....the same old boring wedding photos. That's where Ryan makes all the difference. Don't take my word for it, check out his website and see for yourself! I'll echo Nathan again...on wedding day Ryan and Emily were amazing. We drove around DC taking pre-wedding photos in a mad rush. Ryan made the process easy and stress free for us, as he sweat through his shirt running from one angle shot to another. When we were done, he managed to get home for a shower/change and get back to the wedding in about 50 minutes -- NOT an easy task in DC! At the wedding I actually kind of forgot about them. Not on purpose, but they were often no where to be seen. They just blended in and avoided being that in-your-face photographer that can be so annoying at weddings....and results in......more of those same old cookie cutter photos we wanted to avoid. OK, one more comment and I'll close. After the wedding we were anxious to see our pictures (of course). We knew friends that were married more than a month before us. They are still waiting on their pictures. My CD is in the mail. You do the math! Now that's customer service!! Thanks Ryan :)

But I'm glad I do, this is about character and seeing it lived out. I do not endorse people I do not believe in and I am absolutely endorsing Bill at Whole Heart Studios because I believe in what he is doing. I am also a customer, Bill took my Professional headshot for work. He made me laugh, gave different angles to pose to, and I immediately got to see what shots he took. He even edited some of the photos by my recommendation. I easily would have paid $300 for the work he did. His prices were more than reasonable and the fact that he gave his personal touch to me, I highly recommend him and I have referrals on the way. Absolute pro till the end.
