Ryan was our first stop in the hunt for wedding vendors, and after meeting with him, he suggested that we consider meeting other photographers as well to make sure we get what we're looking for. Even at the risk of not getting business, it was clear that Ryan wanted the best experience for us, whether or not that was with him. We were impressed with his portfolio, reasonable prices, and his honesty, so we ultimately selected him as our wedding photographer. Throughout the entire process, Ryan was respectful and flexible with us. Whenever we had questions, he responded in a timely manner. He provided useful advice and recommendations on a number of occasions which helped tremendously. Ryan's patience and organization helped our wedding day go smoothly. All of our wedding photos came out beautifully. We highly recommend his services for any event. read more

I have known Ryan for several years, and was very happy to use his services for our engagement and wedding photos in August 2014 and family photos in March 2018. He's a calm, cool, collected guy who is clearly passionate about what he does. He's easy to work with, has a clear vision, and very receptive to what you're looking for in terms of the final product. Photoshoots can be super awkward at first, but he was able to direct us through the first few shots and we became very comfortable with the process. He's easy to communicate with and provides good follow up response. I highly recommend his services! read more

We used Ryan for our engagement photos for our October 2010 wedding. We were a little behind with the epix, we didn't take them till about March of last year. At the end, we were glad that we had waited so long because Ryan was really able to capture the great ambiance of Spring in San Jose, CA. We were able to take advantage of a special offer Ryan was having on his engagement picture package. We spoke a few days in advance so that Ryan could get an idea of my fiance and my style... after a long discussion, we decided to do a night shoot in downtown San Jose. It was beautiful and Ryan was able to really use the lights to our advantage. We loved our engagement shoot and all of our friends and family loved our pictures! read more

RTPHOTO - Videographers Near Me

I have known Ryan for many years, and have seen his work for many years. But last month I had Ryan from RTPHOTO capture my proposal to my fiancée and it looks like a photo shoot in a magazine! We were floored to see how good the test photos were and the final products are beyond belief! I wouldn't have anybody else for my proposal or my wedding! Trust me, have faith in him, and you won't believe how good he makes everyone and everything in his photos look!!! read more

I've easily worked with over 30 photographers (I produce corporate events) and can confidently say that Ryan is the perfect trifecta of a photographer -- skilled in his craft, collaborative + accommodating, and a discerning eye for capturing unexpectedly joyful moments. He came to us as a strong recommendation for my sister's wedding. And after our first phone call, I could tell he was going to be fun to work with. While we had a shot list, I love that he didn't hold back on advocating for ideas and concepts that would capture better shots. That's what makes for a fantastic photographer. It's rare these days to find a vendor partner you can truly rely on. I'm so pleased that I've found that in Ryan and can't wait to work with him again on both social AND corporate events. read more

Ryan and his crew did an amazing job at our wedding. I cannot say enough good things! He was very friendly and flexible and we liked his artistic style. We didn't want boring, static photos - we wanted lots of candids of people having a great time. They really delivered -- the album he sent us (just a few weeks later) really captured the mood of the event - joy, laughter, tears, and all. Ryan is very creative and got a lot of very artistic, compelling and beautiful shots. Everyone who saw them was stunned. I was super impressed at the very reasonable price we paid for such great quality. Highly recommend!! read more

We worked with Ryan and Eisen for over two years (engagement shoot, wedding and reception), and they did an amazing job. They are extremely creative and talented, and make you feel very comfortable. They also went above and beyond my expectations with the final products. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again in the future for all of my photography and videography needs. read more

I am so glad we went with Ryan and his team to capture our special day. I've personally known him as a kind and genuine person for many years, and was pleasantly surprised with his creative eye and passion for capturing our special day. We did photo/video at 3 different venues, but you wouldn't know it from how seamlessly all the photo/video looks together. They did a good job making sure we were comfortable at all parts of the day and were able to capture even the smallest moments without being overly noticeable. They blend in, rush around, and work very well together as well as with my other vendors. Also, they are all just the nicest people. I would hire them over and over again and plan to, for other important moments in our life. Absolutely love how everything turned out! read more

Ryan shot our wedding a few weeks ago and did an engagement session for us about a month or 2 ago. We haven't seen all the wedding pictures yet since it was only a few weeks back, but we did get the engagement pictures back very quickly so we could use them as decor for the wedding-that's how great they were. We were not really into doing engagement pictures because all the ones we had seen before were so cheesy! I didn't want typical heart-handy, making out, gazing in the distance prom pose photos and Ryan did an awesome job leaving all of that out. He made us as comfortable as you can be while trying to be photogenic, was great at photographing us in our natural state, and making some really artistic, original photos that reflected our style-sans heart hands :). Ryan was punctual, organized, completely professional, and he did a great job dealing with our awkward "what do I do with my hands?" behavior. And didn't even mind too much when I almost accidentally hit him in the face with my longboard, or when we had to drive to 3 different beaches to find the best waves. His rates were very reasonable, especially for the quality of the work. Also, he was fun to have at our house and at the wedding. Furthermore, I feel like he really got our personalities through in the pictures. We're laid back, easy going people and it was important to us not to have our pictures look posed and weird. For the wedding session he got some shots of me in my wedding dress walking to the ceremony with my little black backpack on, which I think most photographers would have left out, but Ryan understood that my little black backpack is more me than the wedding dress, so it was cool to have that shot in there, and I'm sure the picture will turn out amazing. Overall, Ryan is a very creative photographer that took our style and brought it through beautifully in his photos. We can't wait to see the final wedding pictures! I'm sure they will be just as awesome as the engagement pictures. Would recommend him to anyone! read more

Ryan is an amazing photographer and a very affable individual. Ryan is a true professional and has a stylistic eye for photography. I'll be sure to use him and his services for my future wedding. read more

Ryan is still fantastic-- I'm coming back to add some of our photos that we absolutely love. These are from our tea ceremony/engagement party. We ended up printing a photo on canvas as the welcome sign for our wedding and our guests took plenty of selfies with us. (: read more

Ryan and his team were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding last year. Not only were they professional from the start, they came and captured our wedding in the best ways possible. We had two photographers and one videographer for our 80 person wedding in the woods and it felt like they were everywhere. They were so easy to work with, and felt like one of the guest just blending in and making us feel comfortable with the cameras. When we got the photos and video back, it was no surprise that every photo was absolutely gorgeous and told the beautiful story of our special day. The moments they captured were genuine and showed the energy and love that filled every snap. Not the staged and over produced style you often see, Ryan and team have an energy in their photo style that matched my wedding perfectly. RT photo was the best choice and we constantly get compliments on the breadth of images and how stunning they look. read more

I used Ryan's Photo Booth for my Casino Night fundraiser for Team in Training. I wanted to have a way for my guests to get lots of serious and fun photos of themselves.It was a huge hit and made the party extra special. Ryan told me the booth would be fun and easy for the guests to use and he was right. Photos could even be seen on the back of his camera for a few seconds after they were taken, which made it especially entertaining. With the dramatic black background (Ryan's booth also has the more commonly chosen white, we wanted something extra dramatic for the colors of outfits to really pop), and props we provided, we captured photos and there were smiles a plenty. Even people who might not want a normal posed photo taken were lining up to have their photos taken. Ryan had the photos up on Facebook the next day, it was great to see everyone's expressions, poses and most of all ear to ear smiles. Some guests spent more time in the booth than they did even at the tables. I know everyone enjoyed this part of the party and I would give him my highest recommendation to bring his booth to your event as well. To see our photos: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.223533114332559.64798.109677482384790 Thanks again, Ryan, for help making the night one to remember. read more

I was referred to Ryan (RTPHOTO) by 2 of my friends and I'm so glad I reached out to him. He's easy to reach via phone, text, or email. Not to mention, he promptly responds to any questions or concerns you have. His prices are reasonable and offers a variety of packages and add-ons to fit anyone's budget. My (now) husband and I hired Ryan to do the following services: engagement shoot and video + photography for our wedding. It's evident from the moment I spoke with him that he was passionate about his work and clearly shows in his portfolio. He takes his work very seriously and is such a genuine person through and through. We are so overjoyed (and relieved) with the outcome! I cannot thank Ryan and his crew enough for documenting our engagement and wedding day. Needless to say, our wedding day went without a hitch - all thanks to them! read more

Great personality, Great photo's and very good at catching those perfect candid moments for those laughs and giggles that everyone loves. Very down to earth, because I mean, who wants a uptight photographer during special moments read more

There's no such thing as a bad photo, just bad photographers -- and Ryan is NOT a bad photographer. A good photographer gets to know his clients, picks locations considerably, and is flexible to their clients' wishes (to an extent, of course) and Ryan did all of the above and beyond what our expectations were for him -- not that they were low. We were referred to Ryan by a friend after our original photographer (dick) dropped our event for another event that would pay him more. We didn't realize it then, but this was one of the best things that could have happened to our wedding adventure. Ryan's worth every penny. Our engagement photos turned out so great. Can't wait for the wedding! read more

Ryan and his crew shot our entire big, fat Pakistani wedding--and everything was amazing. There were two cultural/religious events, one in my home, where the logistics were kind of tricky. Ryan accommodated all of our cultural needs, listened to what we wanted for our pictures, and captured some incredible moments beautifully. Eisen, for videography, also created a wonderful highlight film that brought tears to mine and my family's eyes. We had our reception at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay and again, Ryan delivered. The sneak peek pics he has since provided are all beautiful. He even was able to snap a shot of my grandmother waving at us from her hotel room. Simply amazing. read more

Ryan produced a quality Headshot as a Christmas gift for my mother a few years ago. He has always been a fantastic person to work with, and has a unique style that captures the true essence of any occassion. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for photos in and Around Northern California. Ryan always finds time for the Client, and appreciates his subjects input. Great job! read more

I have chosen to hire Ryan for senior portraits and head shots. I am not photogenic and super awkward in front of the camera but Ryan was so great at making it not awkward for me. He gave easy direction and switched things up. He was open to my ideas and when I followed his direction I was so impressed with how great the portraits came out. I highly recommend Ryan not just for the AMAZING photos but for the service. He really delivers white glove service. Lastly, he is an amazing resource if you need references for other services (flip book/ photo booth, hair, make up, videographers, etc). read more

Ryan shot photos for me to use to help promote my recent book release. He was extremely helpful throughout the whole session and provided some much needed direction for me to help achieve my overall vision of the shoot. I got the photos back yesterday and they did not disappoint. Ryan did a fabulous job and communicated throughout the whole process from start to finish. Will definitely use his services again! read more

I hired Ryan to shoot our wedding and he did a fantastic job. Everyone at the wedding complimented his demeanor and his ability to catch the decisive moment. His images speak volumes and I am so happy with all of the photographs I received. I always recommend him when people ask for a photographer and I do not hesitate to whip out the wedding album when guests come over. If you're in the market for an event photographer, do yourself a favor and hire Ryan. He's the best! read more

Going into this shoot, I felt nervous and awkward. When I walked away, I felt confident and beautiful, thanks to Ryan. He made me feel so comfortable, and it made all the difference in creating these photos that I cherish. I was completely unprepared for this shoot, essentially because I knew I wanted grad photos but I didn't know what I wanted them to look like. Ryan took that in stride and was somehow still able to deliver exactly what I was looking for. If you're in the market for a photographer, look no further. I'll be retaining Ryan for my engagement shoot, wedding photos, and every major event down the road. read more

Ryan shot our wedding a few weeks ago in Sonoma and he did an amazing job! We had high hopes for our wedding photos after our fabulous engagement shoot and we weren't disappointed. On the big day, Ryan made us feel so at easy from start to finish. He got in all the shots that we had discussed in advance, plus a ton of fun spontaneous shots. He's got an amazing eye and a great demeanor. We can't recommend Ryan enough! We'll cherish our engagement and wedding photos for years to come. read more

We hired Ryan for our wedding photographer for our June 24, 2012 wedding, and for our October 2011 engagement pictures. He did an AMAZING job capturing our engagement pictures, and had a preview of our wedding pictures (well, only about 2 of them) up the day after our wedding. He did a great job capturing our emotions and was such a great person to work with. Our guests had a lot of fun in the photo booth he provided, and we already have all of those pictures online - only a week after our event! He was dressed incredibly professionally, and was fantastic about getting the great pictures from the entire event without being intrusive like I have seen other wedding photographers do. I feel that his experience with the Fresno State athletic department really helps him capture those moments. I can not WAIT to see the rest of our pictures! Go with Ryan for your wedding photos - you wont be sorry!!! read more

Ryan is awesome. When we came to him with our idea for our Engagement photos he jumped at the chance to take them, where others were a little leery. We did an all out sugar coated food fight. Other photographers we worried about getting stuff on their equipment and Ryan was enthusiastic and ready to shoot. The photos he took were amazing. The caught the essence of who we are and the fun we were having. I am so excited for him to do our wedding this October and the photos that will come out of it! Ryan is a great photographer, very easily reachable and a top notch vendor. He has helped a lot in finding other vendors to help with our wedding as well. Thank you Ryan for all you have done to help and all you will do at the wedding!!! read more

I am a musician and I needed shots done for my website and potentially for my album as well. Ryan delivered! The shots he took came out absolutely wonderful, and he was extremely quick and professional. I let Ryan take the lead as far as vision and how he would like the shots to look in reference to the type of music I play, and he did a fantastic job! Everyone who has seen the pictures have raved about how amazing they are! I would highly recommend hiring Ryan for any type of event. read more

"Ryan was extremely helpful during the entire process of our wedding. With my wife and I being a young couple, I really appreciate him working with us on prices and meeting us at a price range that worked within our budget. What I really appreciated was the various mediums that I could contact him with. Being a busy guy myself, and usually finding myself in 3 places at once, Ryan was one of the things I could really count on, especially in the communication area. Whether I placed an e-mail, or sent a text, his responses were prompt and to the point. I really liked that I didn't have to call him all the time to make sure we were on the same page. He seemed to really have a grasp of what we were looking for. When the big day finally arrived, Ryan came very early, dressed, and with a great attitude. Of course, the day of, the bride and groom are extremely busy, running around, usually in different directions. Somehow, Ryan was able to find key points of downtime to gather people in our bridal party and quickly take beautiful photos. He was really able to catch nuances of our party's numerous personalities. When it came time to take the formal group pictures with both families, Ryan was extremely patient, and worked well with everyone. Looking back and reviewing our pictures, we really now own a special part of our big day. The photos that were taken are so wonderful to have and cherish. Ryan truly gave us a piece of priceless time that my wife and I will remember always." read more

I took my college graduation pictures with Ryan Tubongbanua Photography. Ryan's fun and professional manner made my session really enjoyable. I wanted to have two locations for my photos and Ryan was more than happy to accommodate. I'm graduating from Fresno State and wanted the college to be a prominent feature in my photos. Ryan found some amazing locations around campus which were unique to Fresno State. The pictures on campus turned out beautiful and were fun and portrayed me and personality perfectly. I also took pictures in downtown Fresno. Ryan has an eye for picture locations and stances that I would never have thought of. He was able to bring out intricate details in the pictures which add drama and emotion. I wanted my pictures to portray my personality and how much I have grown in college. Ryan was able to capture everything I wanted and much more. My pictures are fabulous and now I'm just having a hard time picking out which ones I love the most. read more

When I initially contacted Ryan to take some photos, I didn't expect nearly as much as he delivered. He is incredibly easy to communicate with and is not afraid to run with a new ideas that just come to him or that you may have before or during your time with him. He also worked around a great deal of challenges that I presented him with an unparalleled amount of professionalism and grace. He is my first call for ANY of my future events where a photographer is required. read more
