My husband and I have used them for our engagement and wedding and absolutely LOVE our photos. They really do make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and we love how natural we looked in our photos. That was a definite must when choosing our photographers. Another reviewer mentioned the photos looking magical and I completely agree. You can tell Leah is so in love with her talent and this is her passion. It definitely shows in the results of the photos. Rob is also awesome in assisting her. This couple is just great to work with!!!

They were so easy to work with and didn't make the picture taking feel like work- they made it actually FUN! They are very artistic and captured so many amazing moments! They are also very professional, talented, and I couldn't be happier we chose them! If you want the best photography team- go with Vis!

Andy has a great eye, is very creative and takes his time to make your photos become works of art…read more Andy has taken amazing photos for my family for the past few years and has created pictures that all our friends ask us about. Andy has also done corporate headshots for me and he went outside the box to make my headshots stand out while also providing traditional shots for areas that require them. Andy has always listened to me in advance to find out what I am looking for, taken his time during the photoshoot to make sure the best shots were captured and always provided amazing photographs afterwards. Andy has great photography equipment but he has also always taken great care during editing to make our photographs amazing. I strongly recommend Andy and his photographic excellence.

Anthony is a warm, engaging person and his passion shows in his work. We hired him for our June…read morewedding after a long photographer search; his portfolio grabbed our attention and we were so happy we could book him for our big day. The result: wedding photos that are absolutely to die for! We've been getting nothing but compliments on the results. His eye for capturing a scene made for AMAZING portraits and his non-intrusive style meant he could snap great candids, too. Many, many magazine-quality photos came out of our wedding day, and the dancing pics are hilarious...he caught my grandma bustin' a move and didn't miss a single moment! More than just taking gorgeous photos, Anthony is a true professional. Our guests loved him and he really felt like part of the family on our wedding day. He put us all at ease in front of the lens and he even helped my husband to get his tie on straight before the ceremony! Anthony is young and talented, and certainly a rising star. We were grateful that he was available on our wedding day and was easily our favorite vendor. I hope our paths cross in the future and we can use his services again. My advice to you: Book him before he becomes totally out of reach!

Anthony is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot begin to express how great he is. We would give him the…read morehighest recommendation for any event (and he does now do more than just weddings - and is willing to travel outside of SD for events). He is professional, has amazing equipment, is fun, and most important....he makes the day all about you. Though not the cheapest photographer out there - I guanrantee you that his is worth every penny and more. The value for the price is unbelievable. You will not regret it! One of the greatest things about him, is his positive attitude. He clearly loves what he's doing, and he share that love with his clients. He brings out those natural smiles you want on your big day. He visited our venue twice, just to make sure he knew what he would need the day of (even though he didn't have to do that under our contract. He knows all the classic shots to get, and takes care of them without disturbing you...and then he looks for the magic as it happens. In some of our friends photo's we see him getting pictures at special moments when we didn't even realize he was there. He also took down time to look for amazing picture opportunities, and would ask us if we wanted to step away to get the picture when we had a free moment - which was great, because he didn't interupt the flow of the wedding, or anything we were enjoying...but at the same time he made sure we didn't miss an opportunity. He is super creative, and loves to just take in what's happening in the moment, so everything feels very natural...not forced. We cannot provide a high enough recommendation for Anthony!!!!

I still hope this review still counts. :)…read more Though I haven't had the chance to have Gabriel and Carlie of Gabriel Ryan Photographers personally work with me, I am at heart, their fan! I did get a chance to talk to and address both Gabriel and Carlie via email, and I must say, you'll never meet such kindred, humble, and passionate souls. That seems to be engraved in who they are, and what they bring to the table for people's special day. So it would be more than befitting for me to speak of them and how I came to know their work. When my friend texted me to tell me he was getting married, I was absolutely excited and thrilled. We hadn't seen each other in a while, and when his facebook posts popped up with images of his special wedding day, I was dazzled and memorized. As I clicked and clicked through the images, before I knew it, I had already finished viewing the entire album. Curious, I stalked around until I found out about the online site of Gabriel Ryan Photographers. After spending sometime glancing over their work, I was absolutely in love. Gabriel and Carlie bring what I feel is an indie, yet simple and graceful touch to their work. Their pictures pop out at you in that good fuzzy warm way. With each new blog entry they post, I feel their zeal for what they capture continue to surpass the next with astounding creativity and glamour. Enamored, I followed their site and read their blogs, touched by how personal Gabriel and Carlie are with each dedication and care to every one of their client's story. You can give Gabriel Ryan Photographers a piece of your life story, and I can almost surely say they will create a priceless masterpiece. And true to their motto is the connection they will have with you, and more importantly as a result, the story they bring to life that you wish to tell. Somehow, Gabriel Ryan Photographers make photography, especially that of wedding photography so personal, yet stunning, capturing the essence of what they are meant to bring to life: the story. From day one, I have had their page bookmarked and from time to time, come by and stalk it in order to see such beautiful works. One day I hope to meet them and be able to work with both talented and passionate people.

Gabriel Ryan is one amazing photographer. There is a seemingly endless supply of talented…read morephotographers in Orange County but Gabriel is definitely at the top of the list. When it came to hiring a photographer for our wedding we did our homework. I spent days and days pouring over websites, portfolios, and blogs but when I clicked on Gabriel's I knew I found something special. His style is timeless but editorial and his professional yet friendly demeanor is unparalleled. When we all met up for the first time it was like I was meeting a friend for coffee who happened to take ridiculously fabulous pictures. At our wedding we were so excited to get married and he was great at capturing just that rather than other photographers who make you pose a certain way, etc and crush the energy. Like I said...Gabriel is top-notch y'all. People could not stop commenting on how cool our photographer was and how at home he made them feel. We are so glad that we were able to hire Gabriel!

I picked up a LivingSocial voucher for Dacy Nottingham Photography as he was local to my area and…read morewilling to drive to my home for a foto shoot of my girls. I recently had some issues that prevented me from using the voucher before it expired but Dacy was very patient and accommodating at scheduling the shoot past its expiration date and still honoring the full value of the voucher. My girls (4 and 1.5) were the subjects of the photo shoot and he was very patient with them as shooting little kids can be a bit touch and go. He got some really great informal candid shots of them that were very sweet and he was very accommodating in Photoshopping some background junk out of some fotos for a minimal charge. The pictures ordered and produced are of good quality and promptly delivered. Arriving in time for Fathers Day - the grandparents, god fathers and uncles who received them love them. They were a surprise Fathers Day gift for their father who enjoyed them as well. I am very happy to recommend Dacy for other families and event photography.

Dacy was my cousin Brian's videographer for his wedding a few years back. I remember telling my…read morecousin and his wife that I will be using their videographer when I get married one day. Fast forward to a few years down the road.. My cousin couldn't find the info for his videographer when I was finally planning my own wedding. I was so bummed! Some friends, family and I went to the Pala Casino bridal expo. I told my Mom I really wanted to find a great videographer like the one my cousin Brian had. I passed a few videography booths that I just didn't care for. Finally, I turned the corner and out of all videos, Dacy was playing my cousin Brian's wedding video at his booth. I was beyond excited! I knew I needed him for our wedding. It was meant to be. I booked Dacy that day and have no regrets whatsoever. Our video came back and is more gorgeous than I even expected. I cried watching it. You can tell all the time and effort put into it. And if anyone is hesitant on getting the drone- just do it! The shots are amazing! I want to thank Dacy and his team for doing our wedding. We loved you guys!

Chris is one of the most flexible talented photographers. It was very easy to have a great deal…read morewith him. I contacted him very easily to meet before the wedding. He was very nice all the time with every body. He continued his job for more than 6 hours on my wedding day. He sent us the more than 1000 photo after 2 weeks. He added very few editing. I expected more actually. But I believe he did more than great job. He listens to the bride and give her all the attention she wants. He took more than amazing photos for my wedding. I recommend him to all my friends. Thank you Chris!!!

My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Laguna and Chris is their preferred vendor for photography and I can see why!! We hired Chris almost right after signing our venue contract in July 2016 because we knew Chris has photographed so many weddings there and he would know all the good spots to take pictures at!! We are not at all disappointed. Chris was great to work with and was very detailed in his timeline of events for the day of our wedding which was fantastic because I am very detail oriented. Another bonus was that we were able to add our photography package right to our venue package at Hotel Laguna so this made things easier for us payment wise. Chris recommended a videographer to work with as well so please, do not hesitate to reach out to your photographer for recommendations because we are so happy that we did!! We have not received back our video yet but I am sure it will turn out wonderfully. Chris is super easy to work with, fun, laid back and very professional. We had a great time taking pictures with him at our wedding. We also had our pictures back very quickly (wedding on 09/09, photos ready on 09/25). We are now working on narrowing down our almost 1,000 pictures to 100 or less for our photo album that came in the package we paid for we HIGHLY recommend hiring Chris and/or Mitch for any of your photography needs!!!

James is one of a kind and I am eternally grateful for meeting him and even calling him a friend!!…read moreVery talented in his craft with determination and an eye for detail and art and composition!! He works with your schedule and is easily approachable and honest. I loved working with him every step of the way and each of his photos are so captivating and lovely. Photos take a while to come back (1-3 weeks depending on busy season) but the wait is worth it!!! He's always a text away if you need anything and ever so patient with taking photos with my cat which was a feat in and of itself. He is very familiar with the OC area and parts of the neighboring counties in case you don't have an ideal location for a photoshoot then just ask because he has a huge roster! To say the least, I am very honored and grateful to have him as a photographer at my wedding and would not change it for the world. If you have any doubts in your mind then let me tell you, I am over the moon with his work. Absolutely love him and his team that came to my wedding. It has been such a pleasure working with him and I can only say good things. He undoubtedly has a passion for photography!!

Oh dang two words, GREAT PHOTOS!…read more James has done multiple photoshoots for me in the past and for the campus club I am part of like Epic Movement and my grad shots! He charges very cheap and he knows what he is doing and he also is very good at seeing what lighting to take photos in. I have taken a lot of my photos in harsh lighting because I always get completely unlucky but James makes sure he angles my photos correctly to not make the harsh lighting affect my photos! Every photoshoot he does for me, I always come out satisfied and I normally leave pretty quick. The rates that he gives honestly are very fair and he is willing to do just a bit more if you ask him nicely to do it. Overall, I totally recommend him to take your grad shoots, birthday, engagement and/or wedding and family photos! I never was disappointed by the quality nor was I disappointed by the overall production. James will go out of his way to make sure everything comes out neat and awesome!

Absolutely Incredible! -- We Found our Forever Family Photographer!…read more We hired Sarah for our son's very first birthday cake smash, and it was pure magic from start to finish! Our Toy Story theme came to life so perfectly- our little guy was dressed as Andy, sitting in front of a dreamy blue cloud backdrop surrounded by Woody, Buzz, and all the classic toys. The colors turned out beautifully and so vibrant and stunning! Sarah even took him to the cutest little tub setup and captured the sweetest moments for a bath to cleanup. Right from the first conversation, we knew we found our photographer! Sarah was so professional, calm, and straightforward with everything! It genuinely felt like we were just having a close family friend take the most adorable pictures of our son... and even some family shots of all of us together. Sarah made us all feel completely relaxed and had the best energy! THANK YOU SARAH! We are already planning to book her again for every special occasion and all out future family photos. If you're on the fence- stop scrolling and book her immediately! You will not regret it. She is truly gifted and we couldn't be happier with our experience!
