Myrtle Beach Photographers
Wedding, Family, & Engagement
As a local Myrtle Beach portrait photographer, I specialize in beautiful, unique and fun wedding, engagement, family and photo booth photography. I love clean, crisp and colorful images that capture moments in a way that can only be done with skillful and modern techniques using the latest high-end photography gear. In addition, my pictures have a unique look because I only prime lenses on full frame Nikon camera bodies. Every photography session is shot by myself personally. My goal is to always capture genuine emotions using a storytelling approach mixed with traditional posed portraits. Ryan Smith Photography has been a local licensed business in Myrtle Beach, SC for over 10 years. Because I have been a local professional for so many years, I know the area well and the unique challenges of beach photography. I also do whatever I can to make sure my clients are happy and to keep my excellent reputation.

Weddings
As a Myrtle Beach wedding photographer with many years of experience, I understand how to create timeless images that will look as good in 20 years as they do today. I do this by using specialty lenses and skillful editing for true color and proper exposure. Because of this you will always see the details in a bride’s dress in my photography, as well as the realistic and beautiful colors of a sunset. Wedding photography prices range from $600 for small intimate beach ceremonies to $3750 for all day wedding coverage with two wedding photographers, a deluxe album and fun photo booth. All packages also include a beautiful online wedding gallery to share with family and friends as well as the digital files with a copyright release.
Engagement
Myrtle Beach engagement photography sessions at beautiful locations like the Huntington Beach State Park, Atalaya Castle, Conway Riverwalk, Downtown Georgetown and more range from $400 during most months of the year to $500 during the summer months. Check back for off season specials as well. My engagement photography sessions are relaxed and fun. While I will suggest poses, I’m also happy to try anything you like as well. For your engagement session I use the same specialty lenses and skillful editing that I use at weddings. Because of this your pictures will have a unique and timeless look. In addition, I specialize in surprise engagement proposals and have many beautiful examples on my blog
Family
Myrtle Beach family beach photography prices range from $400 during most months to $500 during the summer months. Check back for off season specials as well. These include hundreds of posed and candid pictures of your family enjoying the beach and other outdoor locations together. In addition, for your family photography, I use the same specialty lenses and skillful editing I use at weddings for a unique and timeless look. There are also no limits on family groupings or number of shots taken. I typically take 200-300 pictures in total. I normally take the pictures about 1 hour before sunset at the Huntington Beach State Park using one of my included park passes, or I’m happy to come to your preferred Myrtle Beach area location.

Photographer’s review of the 2018 Mac mini 6 Core i7 – Do you need an eGPU? November 30, 2018- I occasionally like to write a blog post that is helpful to photographers in general.
