About

I’ve been photographing weddings for over 13 years and believe the best photos come from real moments, not staged ones. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you to enjoy your day with the people who matter most while I capture everything naturally as it happens.

Whether it’s the big moments or the small in-between interactions, my aim is to create a collection of images that feel genuine and reflect your day as you remember it. Couples often tell me that they felt comfortable, at ease, and able to be themselves in front of the camera, which is exactly how I want the experience to feel.

Best man for the job

Shopped around but Ryan is the easiest to contact, reasonably priced and will happily walk you through the whole process.

Hiding in bushes, climbing rocks, getting sprayed with champagne: he’ll do everything just to get that perfect shot and the results show it!

Couldn’t recommend him enough!

The best photographer

Ryan was just brilliant leading up to the day and on the day itself. He put us all at ease and nothing was too much trouble for him. He had already assessed the venue on the morning for places to take photos incase of rain - it did rain and the photos came out better than we could ever have imagined! Our photos tell a story of the day and we relive the day every time we view them. We didn’t even know he was there most of the time! Incredible photographer, incredible person.

The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding

Ryan was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer, but he is also such a genuinely lovely person—so approachable, calm, and professional throughout the entire process.
From the very beginning, Ryan had everything in hand. He helped us organise the timings for the day, put us completely at ease, and captured the most beautiful photographs that we will treasure forever. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he made us feel so comfortable from start to finish.

We also booked an engagement shoot, which was one of the best things we could have done. It gave us the chance to meet Ryan properly, get to know him, and feel relaxed in front of the camera before the big day.
We didn’t have much of a plan for locations, but Ryan went above and beyond—scoping out the most stunning viewpoint overlooking the Bath skyline in a beautiful field. The sunset shots he captured were absolutely incredible, and he even sent us some sneak peeks that very evening, which was such a lovely touch.

We truly couldn’t recommend Ryan highly enough. An amazing photographer and an even more amazing person—thank you for capturing our day so perfectly!

We loved Ryan's style for our engagement and wedding photography

We hired Ryan for our engagement photoshoot and wedding photography. When we were making plans and meeting vendors etc, due to distance, we did a video call meeting and Ryan was great, these types of things can be awkward but Ryan made us feel at ease and answered all our questions. We really liked Ryan's photography style and after meeting and chatting with him we knew he was the right choice for us. We never had any professional photos taken before and at our engagement shoot Ryan really helped us to feel at ease in front of the camera and capture some great images. We had a list of images we wanted on our wedding day and Ryan was great at getting everyone together and getting them done as quickly as possible. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was great to work with and we love our wedding photos so much! Thank you Ryan.

Ryan is honestly the BEST photographer and we were so lucky to have him on our wedding day! He’s such a lovely person and makes you feel totally relaxed—you don’t even realise he’s there.

Best photographer ever

Ryan was professional, kind and helped us feel at ease.
We loved our photos and were so happy with them.
We booked Ryan for our engagement shoot, night before our wedding, and wedding day.

All of the photos are stunning and we will treasure them forever.

We feel Ryan’s pricing was extremely fair and worth every penny.

The best photographer we could ask for!

Ryan was such an amazing photographer for our wedding in March 2025. From the first time we spoke with him we felt at ease. He had everything under control and made us feel relaxed and that he’d capture our day perfectly. We had an engagement/family shoot with him prior to our wedding and he was so friendly and considerate with our 3 year old son, which helped confirm he was the perfect person. On the day, he fitted in seamlessly with the plans, and captured everything beautifully. He got the perfect mix of staged and candid pictures, and we’ll treasure them forever. Thanks Ryan for all you did to help us remember our perfect day!

Alex and Simon, Pennard House, July 2017

I knew long before I was even engaged that I wanted Ryan to photograph my wedding. He's a very well known photographer in our local area and he'd previously photographed my friend's wedding. What I love about him is that he's so unobtrusive, he blends in and you barely notice him, which for me, someone who hates having their photo taken, was really important. He has such a relaxed style but is so passionate about getting you perfect photos. He put me at ease straight away and has taken some of the most beautiful photos that truly will be treasured forever. I couldn't recommend him enough.

I would definitely recommend Ryan

Ryan made us feel really at ease while getting ready on the wedding morning. He was friendly but also kept himself in the background so nobody felt uncomfortable. At the wedding itself he got the job done and we had some really lovely photos, traditional and natural. You will be doing a really good thing if you book him. Not everything goes to plan on the big day but I would say that photos did 100%

Chloe and Lewis - Orchardleigh House - Feb 2017

"Ryan photographed our wedding day at Orchardleigh House in February 2017 and we could not be happier that we made that decision! Ryan is a lovely person, he is professional, considerate and calm. We met a year before the big day and from then we were absolutely confident that we'd end up with the most amazing photographs - which we did, of course!

We are so thrilled with the photographs and service that we received from Ryan, many of our guests complimented him to us as well, saying how wonderful he was on the day! Thank you so much for capturing our day in the most perfect way - we will treasure our photographs forever and we cannot thank you enough!"

Holly and George - Leigh Park Hotel - Sept 2017

"We met Ryan at a wedding fair in Frome, and were immediately taken by his work. When comparing photographers, his were the photos I would go back to simply because I liked looking at them. So we hired him! It was the best decision we ever made. Not only was Ryan very professional and the photos amazing, but he put my husband, myself and our families totally at ease and we loved every single shot. So thank you Ryan, you made our day. Love Holly and George x"

Emily and Edmund - Ashton Court - May 2017

"We met Ryan at a wedding fair and instantly warmed to him and his style of photography so we were delighted to have him as our wedding photographer. Ryan did an excellent job of capturing our big day and did it all so effortlessly. He calmly organised our guests for the group photos and found time to photograph all the little details we requested. We can't stop looking through our wedding photos and reliving the day. Thanks so much Ryan!"
