This review is long over due! My wife and I moved to Temecula CA, in June of 2025. After falling in love with the area we knew this is where we wanted to get married. In August we picked out Lake Oak Meadows and next we searched for the perfect Temecula wedding photographer. After having a negative experience with another photographer (his personal opinions about not wanting to photograph our wedding) my wife found Ryan online, and we were so excited to meet up with him. Before deciding when to do our engagement shoot we all went out for drinks to get to know one another. We had a blast and knew this was the right fit. We loved our engagement photos and couldn’t wait to see what he would do come wedding day! We had a HUGE wedding party, and some family members who didn’t really want to be photographed, and Ryan handled all of the craziness like a PRO! Danielle and I are very relaxed people, and my favorite moments that were captured were after the ceremony when it was just the two of us. Ryan really engages with you and your guests, our family and friends were raving about him for two days after the wedding. Needless to say we are beyond happy with everything and look forward to using his talents in the future. Thanks Ryan! GO BILLS!

Ryan is by far the BEST!! Our engagement shoot was the start to our great experience. Ryan took his time and let us do what WE wanted (so refreshing) and was very honest with us. He made it feel natural as if we took pictures kissing with a camera in our face everyday! Our pictures came back flawless and looked exactly like we’d hoped. They came back within a week and a half! Ryan only takes a few weddings a year for this reason so he can keep in great contact and provide great quality. On our wedding day Ryan said he would arrive at 2pm. I received a call at 1 saying he was 5 min from our venue and the road was closed! Not only was he going to be there early he drove nearly an hour out of the way to get there before me! He captured every detail and all the natural beautiful moments one would want to relive on their special day. Again he made it seem like a best friend was taking pictures not some random guy who needs some money. Ryans passion for not only photography but LOVE shines through him and his work. ABSOLUTELY the BEST and ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!

Since we were eloping we wanted to hire someone freaking awesome to document our day and Ryan fit that bill. His photos are amazing and he has such a keen eye at capturing the special moments – no cheesy poses here. His photos are real and truly special. He keeps you laughing which helps when you’re nervous and overwhelmed on your wedding day. Ryan is excellent at his craft and we are beyond ecstatic with our photos. Thank you Ryan!

We loved working with Ryan! We reached out to him at the last minute and were lucky enough that he had time available to be our Temecula wedding photographer. Ryan is so fun to work with and and had us laughing the entire time. We LOVE all of the shots he got of us and family and friends. Aside from all the fun stuff he is also extremely professional, punctual and the turn around time for our photos was super quick. He even sent us some photos to show family the night of our event (we had a morning ceremony) and we couldn’t wait to see the rest. Book Ryan!

Ryan is basically a magician!!! Our photos came out not only beautiful but also full of life and joy. Going through all the photos made me teary-eyed, laugh, and immediately wonder if it’d be weird to use our wedding photos as bedroom wallpaper (my s/o convinced me this was a no-go, haha!).

Ryan is not only obviously an incredible photographer, but he’s ridiculously fun to work with. Hours before our ceremony, we needed to change venues which I worried would ruin the day. Despite the haze of anxiety and panic, Ryan had us all laughing and feeling present and excited! He’s fun and knows exactly what he’s doing, which made everyone feel at ease. I’m notoriously awkward in photos, but with Ryan, I just felt comfortable and ridiculously stoked!

Okay, one last thing about why you definitely need to book Ryan is he’s extremely fast! We weren’t expecting our photos until at least a month after the ceremony, but somehow two nights later I got a very happy surprise that they were done (like I said, he’s a magician)!

I feel so grateful that we had such an amazing photographer capture our special day and will forever use Ryan for any other special events!

OH MY GOD. STOP READING THESE REVIEWS. Your search is over and just book Ryan already!

I was initially drawn to his style because he can capture “in the moment” shots. The small looks and giggles between the staged shots. He was able to capture all of that. One of my favorite things about my photos was that he was able to capture my guests’ genuine reactions during the wedding. He truly can rock the momemt. So talented!

He knows how to pose people in small, medium, and large groups. He’ll remind guests if they need to button any jackets to get that great shot. He knows how to incorporate the background so he isn’t just taking pictures of people but really the entire environment. There is great balance in the photos.

He was extremely flexible the day of. We had minor schedule changes and he just went with the flow.

I am SOOOO grateful he was able to photograph our big day. THANK YOU RYAN!!
