About

Ryan Stanikk is a Southampton-based photographer covering weddings across Hampshire, the South of England and London. The approach is documentary: the day is photographed as it happens, with a handful of composed portraits when there is a natural pause.

Full-time behind the camera since 2020, with 20+ years in design and marketing before that, and a 5.0 rating across 20 Google reviews. Alongside weddings, Ryan photographs engagement sessions, bridal boudoir and wedding details, venues, food and floristry.

Full-day, half-day and elopement coverage. Every package includes a pre-wedding consultation, venue research, a preview set within 24 to 48 hours, full editing, and a private online gallery of 300 to 700 images delivered within 5 to 7 working days. Dual memory-card backup on the day. Travel within the UK is included; overnight stays are agreed in advance.
