Pawleys Island Photographer
Ryan Smith Photography

Thank you for visiting Ryan Smith Photography. Ryan Smith has been one of the best local Pawleys Island, SC photographers for over a decade. While I live in the nearby Myrtle Beach area, over half of my photography work focuses on Pawleys Island. There are so many beautiful nearby locations for photography, including the Huntington Beach State Park, Brookgreen Gardens, Pawleys Plantation, the Pawleys Island Chapel, Caledonia, marsh boardwalks, and much more.
I love clean, crisp, and colorful images that uniquely capture your happy family and wedding moments with my photography style. I use skillful techniques for proper lighting, color, and exposure, and I use only high-end prime lenses and off-camera studio-style strobe lighting. For example, you will see the beautiful colors of the sunset and the intricate details of a bride’s white wedding dress in my pictures. My goal is always to capture genuine emotions through a mix of fun, candid, and posed portraits. I also do whatever I can to keep my excellent reputation.
My wedding photography packages for the Pawleys Island, SC area start at $1000. My family and engagement photography is also reasonably priced, starting at $500. See a few of my favorite Pawleys Island pictures below, and visit my galleries and pricing pages for more.
