About

Ryan Stanikk Photography is a professional photographer based in Southampton, Hampshire, with experience in weddings, portraits, boudoir, and events photography.

Covering Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, London, and across Hampshire and the South of England, Ryan brings a calm, unobtrusive approach to every wedding — capturing the day as it naturally unfolds rather than directing it to death.

Ryan also photographs wedding details, reception venues, food and floristry, and works closely with couples to understand what matters most before the day.

Alongside weddings, Ryan offers bridal boudoir sessions as a unique gift or personal keepsake.

Packages available for full-day coverage, half-day, and elopements. Portraits and engagement sessions also available.
