I absolutely love how our family picture turned out, Ryan was very outgoing and easy to work with, also very understanding that 2 3year olds and a ornery 7 year old were not really interested in taking pictures as much as the teenager girls but he did such a great job and I’m so happy with how they all turned out!! He was so kind and great with all the kids as well even answer very random questions my son had to ask to get him to smile. First time having family pictures taken together as a family and I was very happy with them thank you Ryan.

We met Ryan at the Bridal Expo and fell in love with his photos! He did not disappoint the day of our wedding. He gave me the option to send photos that I wanted to replicate. He also had great ideas for around the venue, as well as on the beach. We were very excited when we were able to see the sneak peak, they look amazing! He does a wonderful job and would recommend to future brides!

Ryan is amazing! If he’s open on your date, just book it! We did family portraits on the beach with 18 people ages 3-71 and the moments he captured we will treasure forever. He is easy to communicate with during booking, listened to our needs, had amazing recommendations of shoot locations and his pictures are stunning. Tons of poses and combos, he was super patient and made everyone feel at ease. Would definitely book again!

Before we even began planning our wedding, we knew we wanted Ryan as our photographer. Having worked with him hundreds of times at other people's weddings, we knew how professional and amazing his work was. And as my husband says, he's "the nicest guy in the world". When we received our photos, we were blown away - literally flawless. If you are looking for someone who is exceptionally talented, professional, and genuinely invested in you, look no further than Ryan Smith Photography.

We had such a great experience working with Ryan Smith Photography. From the moment we reached out, he was quick to respond and made himself available whenever we had questions. Ryan showed up on our wedding day with a calm, laid-back approach that helped us feel at ease the entire time. He knew how to capture all the shots we wanted without making anything feel rushed or stressful. Every single photo turned out incredible—honestly, we couldn't have asked for better results. We'd absolutely recommend Ryan to any couple looking for a photographer who's both reliable and talented.

We are so grateful!

Ryan captured our day beautifully! I was drawn to him by his style - how vibrant, clear and colorful his photos are. He was on the preferred vendor list at 21 Main, and I understand why. He’s very familiar with the venue and the staff, and I loved that I was able to view the 21 Main gallery on his website in advance of our wedding day to get ideas on where I wanted photos taken. Thank you Ryan for being such an important part of our very special day, and for all the moments you captured.

We had the BEST experience with our Myrtle Beach family photo session this year. Ryan made everything so fun, relaxed, and effortless—especially with little ones involved! He captured so many beautiful, natural moments that we’ll truly cherish forever. Every single photo turned out amazing, and it honestly felt more like making memories than posing for pictures. This session was actually a Christmas gift for our parents, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Such a meaningful way to capture our growing family. We loved it so much that we’re already planning to make this a yearly tradition on our family vacations. Highly, highly recommend if you’re in Myrtle Beach area!

Ryan was incredible to work with for our wedding! We live out of state, so clear communication and a willingness to figure things out “on the fly” the day of was important, and Ryan and his wife more than answered the call. His knowledge of the venue (when/where to pull us for photos during the evening, how the sun would look on the beach at a certain time, etc) was unmatched. His energy was great, he worked exceptionally well with our videographer and portrait artist, and his turnaround time for the final photos was quick. We loved that he used different lenses to achieve the look we wanted in our photos. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Patrick and Chelsea Wedding in Myrtle Beach Review
Absolutely cannot recommend Ryan Smith Photography enough! Ryan was beyond amazing throughout our entire wedding experience. Our wedding day in early October was rained out due to a nor’easter, and Ryan immediately insisted we schedule another day to get the outdoor photos we had dreamed of. This was such a welcomed surprise—it made our wedding memories stretch out even longer and gave me a wonderful reason to wear my dress again! On the day of our retakes, it rained again, but Ryan was so calm and patient. He waited it out with us, and thanks to his flexibility, we were able to get the photos we wanted without having to redo my hair and makeup. Ryan’s dedication, professionalism, and kindness truly set him apart. He went above and beyond to make sure we had beautiful memories to cherish forever. We are still eagerly awaiting our full gallery, but Ryan already sent us sneak peek photos immediately after meeting up with him yesterday evening, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us even more excited to see the rest. If you’re looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile for you, Ryan is your guy. He is simply amazing!

Jennnifer Hall family portraits in Myrtle Beach review
There are a handful of events in life that you really want to ensure that the memories are captured in a way that you can look back on them later in life and feel like you are right back in that moment! Our family has been through a lot in the past few years and while we are on a family vacation this past May we really wanted to freeze time for a bit and celebrate the good memories, the happy times! I found Ryan by happenstance but from the moment we started chatting about the importance of these photos he was incredibly understanding of our situation and the meaning behind our photos. The session itself was nothing shy of chaotic with a group of our size and 5 kids under 7, but Ryan was amazing in organizing our group and still capturing our vision. When we received our pictures back I couldn’t stop looking at them, we were beyond excited! They were even more than what we were hoping for and know that we will cherish them for years to come! If you are in the Myrtle Beach area and in need of a photographer, look no further, you won’t be disappointed!

Ryan is not only a phenomenal photographer, but also a genuinely good person. His excitement to take your photos and find exactly the right location and lighting is contagious. Between the engagement shoot and then our wedding, (Ryan's wife helped and is also amazing!), we have photos and memories to last a lifetime. I can't thank Ryan and his wife enough for their work. I promise you cannot go wrong with Ryan Smith Photography.

Ryan did an amazing job on our November 2024 wedding! I was drawn to him because of the natural look of his photos instead of them being one particular “style” or filter. He was easy to work with and was patient when the nerves started to hit. We will be happy with these photos for years to come and treasure them forever.

I hired Ryan Smith Photography in August 2024 to photograph my family during our vacation in North Myrtle Beach. It was a last minute trip and I contacted Ryan less than two weeks in advance. He was immediately responsive, communicated clearly, and was accommodating of my short timeline. I was unfamiliar with the area and he helped me pick a location, provided directions, entrance pass, and suggested the best time (he basically planned it all for me!) The actual session felt organic and was fun, and that was quite an accomplishment because I had 9 adults, 2 toddlers, and 1 tiny baby in my group. Ryan maximized our time slot to capture several subsets of our group with multiple backdrops (tree line, ocean, pier). He was so professional and I literally could not recommend him more. His work is beautiful, high quality, and my family will cherish these photos forever.

The attention to detail and creativity were outstanding, and we received our photos quickly, each one telling our love story perfectly.

We hired Ryan to photograph our wedding and he DID NOT disappoint. From the time I reached out to Ryan to inquire about his wedding packages, up until the wedding his communication and professionalism was top notch. He was quick to respond to all emails and answer all questions. He listed to what we wanted and ensured he got all the requested shots. He made everyone feel comfortable the entire time, even my husband who hates pictures. The day after our wedding we got a few sneak peaks, and they were stunning! Less than a month later we received our full album. We are in love with our pictures. Highly recommend Ryan Smith Photography!

Our family planned a summer trip to North Myrtle Beach and thought this was a perfect opportunity for family photos. On a Google search and then by reviewing Instagram, we liked Ryan’s photography and reached out to see if he was available. He spent a full hour with us getting individual shots, family/couple shots and group images. It was a very easy process and he led us to different areas on Huntington State Beach. He was aware of the timing of the sunset for optimal beachfront photos. The photos turned out wonderful - he captured many great smiles and fun moments with the kids. I am very happy that we worked with Ryan to have family photos that we can look back on forever. It was well worth it on a family vacation when everyone was together.

We used Ryan in North Myrtle Beach about 6 years ago and you bet we wanted to reach out to him again! His wife, Lizeth, did our photography this year and she did an exceptional job with a group of 21 (including babies). She was so patient with us...getting all the group shots, baby shots, individual families, Grandparent shots, cousins, all couples and much, much more. She thought of everything, and for that we are very grateful because it's not easy to think of all the shots you would like in the moment. Lizeth was so prompt, so efficient, so good with the kids, and just the sweetest! The photography was absolutely beautiful and we 100% recommend Lizeth...she does an excellent job!!

His attention to detail and creativity resulted in stunning photos that beautifully captured the essence of our special day. We were also thrilled to receive our pictures back in record time, which was an added bonus! The quality and speed of his work truly exceeded our expectations.

His communication throughout has been excellent. Ryan was very willing to provide recommendations based on his experience on where the best place to take our pictures would be. I am glad we took his suggestion! Just finished up our session this evening and we know they will be great! Ryan was very patient with the young children in our group and he was able to make it a very fun experience for them and us adults as well. If you are considering having family pictures taken or have any photography needs you should feel very confident booking with Ryan. Thanks again to Ryan Smith Photography I cannot wait to see the pictures you took of our family. Thank you again!

I had a family vacation planned in Myrtle Beach, where I wanted to get professional family pictures taken while we were there. I browsed Google searches and came across Ryan Smith Photography. Going through his portfolio of pictures online, I knew he would be a good fit for what we were after… fun, candid, beach, etc. Ryan had great communication from the start through the whole process- about setting dates, payment options, meet up details, parking logistics, processing time, etc. He gave great instructions on where to meet and we followed to the nearby park he suggested. The location was great, offering a mix of different picture background options, in addition to the beach pictures, which was a nice bonus to mix up the pictures we had available to us at the end. We had a group of 7, ages ranging from seniors to teenagers. Ryan was great at suggesting ideas, poses, and what angles to shoot from. He also let us come up with a few ideas to add to the mix of picture options. He was super flexible! We were shooting for probably a good 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Ryan is very personable and made us feel comfortable! You can really tell this by the results of our pictures, where no one seemed uncomfortable or stiff. We all had fun and had a lot of laughs that he was able to really capture for us. Overall I would recommend Ryan and his skills for anyone looking for family pictures, weddings, senior pictures, etc. He truly is so talented and I (and my whole family) were very impressed with the results. Thank you Ryan for everything! I had been wanting to get updated pictures done for so long and I’m so glad we got connected to make it happen, I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience or the results!

Ryan did a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding photos! He was both friendly and professional. For the wedding, he arrived early so that he could survey the property, find the best photo areas, and start shooting. I could tell that he was making every effort to capture the perfect photos for us and to incorporate the shots we wanted. I’m interested in photography (as a hobby), so I appreciated that he occasionally explained why he was using a certain lens, having us stand in a particular area, etc. He was fun to work with. Looking at the photos, you would have never guessed that this was his first time visiting the venue. There are so many beautiful pictures, I don’t know how we’ll choose which ones we want to print! I appreciate his work in capturing our special day.

Ryan was the exact professional I was looking for! During our family vacation at Myrtle Beach, I knew capturing the moment with my family of 16 was crucial. I realized that this was a rare opportunity to have everyone together in such a beautiful place, and Ryan's expertise made it all possible. Despite wrangling 10 kids under 7 years old, Ryan remained incredibly patient and maintained a positive attitude throughout the entire photoshoot. His professionalism and skill behind the camera ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. The photos he took will remain as a treasure for all of us. Whenever the grandkids look at the photos, they get excited, wanting to go back to that moment. The fact that the pictures were taken at the beach added an extra layer of beauty and nostalgia to the whole experience. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone looking to capture precious memories with their loved ones. Thank you, Ryan, for going above and beyond to make our family photoshoot such a fantastic experience!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Ryan for our wedding day photography and will treasure this photos for years to come. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding/other event photographer.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan for my proposal pictures, and I couldn't be happier with the results. First and foremost, the communication leading up to the event was exceptional. Ryan took the time to understand my preferences. They were prompt in responding to emails, which helped alleviate any pre-event jitters. In terms of the final product, I was blown away. The photographs were not just images, they were great memories . The attention to detail and the clarity of the shots were remarkable. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also create unforgettable memories, look no further than Ryan Smith

For my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, 13 family members gathered for a week in one beach house on Surfside Beach. Ryan came out and did a photo shoot at sunset with us. We were so happy with the results! He made sure to get all the sub-groups of the grandparents with grandkids and the couples, etc., and it was great to have the digital copies. We will treasure these photos from our special week together forever.

Ryan was very professional from day 1. I had some ideas for pictures I wanted and asked for his suggestions. We did everything I wanted and more including his suggestions. He was easy to work with and really made sure we were ok the entire time especially me the bride. He would even pause and let me calm down from the emotions and tell me it’s ok and to breathe. Remarkable person. I would have him do all photography I need for now on. Also, he worked with me on my budget and getting everything I wanted. Amazing person!

Ryan photographed my wedding in October and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. He is quick with responding to any questions, the pictures came out crisp and clear, and he is such a sweet person. The entire wedding party felt comfortable around him and I think that makes or breaks a photo session. With wedding photography you definitely get what you pay for and Ryan was nothing less than excellent!

I contacted Ryan with maybe a 2 week notice because we were unable to get other photographers to return emails. Ryan was quick to answer my emails and was thorough in responding to my questions. He is very accommodating as far as location (although we chose to meet him at a public park/Beach access). We had 2 SMALL children with us and he did great with them! He captured their facial expressions we see every day, which was our preference (not the 'stiff picture' look!). We knew up front that he was about 3 weeks out as far as turn-around time on getting photos edited.... and he had them ready in exactly the time he quoted. The photos were GREAT quality and seemed to be edited with great care. We absolutely would recommend anyone use Ryan for their photography needs in Myrtle Beach. He was a pleasure to work with and will meet your needs, I am sure!

Ryan was an absolute dream to work with and cannot recommend him enough! From the time of booking to the wedding day, his communication was comforting and timely. My husband and I had a unique experience as our wedding was only 19 people. This gave him extra time with just the two of us. He took us all around the resort getting a variety of photos. Our favorites were at sunset on the beach and along a row of palm trees. Being a midsized bride I was self-conscious in my appearance. His suggestions for poses were on point. I have never looked to good in a photo! He seriously made us look like models in these photos. We are SO pleased with everything. NO need to look anywhere else.

Ryan is a dream to work with! He did pictures for our family in 2021, and when we got engaged the following year we knew we wanted to hire him for our wedding! He is very professional and adaptable. The pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY!! I love his use of light and color. Hiring the right photographer for your wedding is one of the most important decisions you can make because when your day is over, all that’s left is pictures and memories. I’m pleased to say we made the right choice!!

While I was living in Tennessee and planning a Myrtle Beach wedding, Ryan helped answer any questions I had and gave wonderful timeline suggestions, allowing us to take advantage of the time we had with him. I am typically camera shy, and he made portraits painless! We can already tell the photos are amazing, and he even put together social media posts for us to enjoy the next day! 10/10 would book with him again, and strongly recommend!!

I found Ryan Smith simply from a random Google search for photographers in the Myrtle Beach area and I am beyond thankful to have found him. To say I am extremely happy with our photos would be an understatement. They are simply beautiful. I dreamed of something a little "different" than just a beach photo and Ryan delivered. If you are visiting the area or if you are searching for great photographer, you can't go wrong with Ryan Smith.

We used Ryan for a family photo shoot during our vacation to Pawley's Island. He was super easy to work with both before, during and after process. Very responsive to emails and questions that I had before and after our photo shoot. Made teen/tween and grandparents feel at ease and accommodated for physical limitations in the grandparents. Photos turned out GREAT despite a cloudy day. The photolab he uses is very comparably priced to other online photolabs and the products we purchased turned out great. Would highly recommend. I wish we lived closer so we could use him for senior pictures in a couple of years!

Of all the choices I’ve made for my wedding, choosing Ryan Smith Photography was likely the best one. Ryan showed up early on the day of and checked in with me immediately upon arrival and went straight to work. He was so much fun, personable, and professional. He turned the photos around quickly and responded to all of my emails immediately. Everyone loved him. My family and friends are still talking about him! I have a condition that makes my eyes look a bit strange in pictures sometimes and I was concerned about my wedding photos looking distorted. I had spoken with Ryan and he was very respectful of this. I was sure that there would be a number of pictures that I would not love because of my eye. Imagine my surprise when every single photo was perfect! The effort he put in to us and the time he spent perfecting every little shot was unreal. The pictures he took have given me a knew confidence that I didn’t have before my wedding. If you’re looking for the right photographer, look no further. Ryan is the best of the best!

We chose Ryan to photograph our destination wedding after doing quite a bit of online research of photographers in the area and are absolutely thrilled that we did! We met with Ryan once at his office about 2 months before our wedding to go over everything we envisioned for our big day and we knew even then we had made the right choice. The day of the wedding he was tremendous with trying to catch all of the right moments and angles without even being noticed. He sent us a few preview photos a couple of days later and then in less than 3 weeks we had the entire gallery emailed to us. The pictures are absolutely fantastic and we could not be more thrilled. He caught every big moment of our day yet somehow I can't recall him being around during the ceremony or during the reception (in my opinion that is a huge compliment!). If you are reading this and considering hiring Ryan for your event, take my advice and do it, you will not be disappointed.

Ryan was so amazing! He really captured all the important moments in the day, and I got so many beautiful candid shots. Ryan had no problem meeting the bridal party at the salon to take pics of us getting hair and makeup done, then made his way to the reception space to get pics of the setup ahead of the wedding, back to the beach house to get pics of everyone getting dressed, to the beach for the ceremony, pics after the ceremony, back to the reception space for all of those pics (dancing, cake cutting, laughing, hugs), THEN back to the beach for sunset pics, and finally the end of the reception and our wedding trolley pictures. This man would win at a step challenge for sure! Throughout the whole process he made wonderful suggestions, shared when he thought a picture I was thinking of wasn't going to work out, and gave me tips and tricks for the best pictures. I am forever grateful to him, and the moments that he captured of our special day. I would recommend him over and over again to anyone getting married in the area. You only get one shot to get the right photographer (pun intended haha), and I'm so glad I picked the best! Thanks for everything, Ryan!

Communication was good before our photo session. The day of the photography session was quite hectic. We had 7 adults and 5 kids, 3 of which were boys under the age of 5 who had no interest in taking pictures. Somehow Ryan was able to capture the few millisecond long smiles from them and our pictures turned out beautifully. We also had a few passersby get in the background or try to walk between us and the camera. Ryan remained professional through all that and either had us move down the beach or change settings.

Ryan is a true professional and expert at what he does. I contacted Ryan for a surprise engagement photoshoot on a private beach in South Carolina. This photoshoot took place after me and my now fiancé got finished horseback riding on the beach. Ryan was able to go unnoticed and got the perfect shot of the big moment.

Ryan did a fabulous job with our family pictures! It was an extremely windy day, however, he found other areas to successfully photograph our family. He definitely has an eye and a very nice camera to capture beautiful, sharp and crisp, pictures! We will forever cherish his beautiful work!!

Ryan was extremely professional and the quality of his work is amazing. He captured moments that we didn't think existed. In the moment things were chaotic with our large group but Ryan's professionalism and calm demeanor brought us all to ease and we now have lasting memories to look back on. You honestly will not find another photographer in that area that can compete with his pricing, ability to capture moments, and his finished product. We return to South Carolina every year for family get togethers and Ryan will be the only photographer we use moving forward! What are you waiting for? Ryan is your guy!

Ryan was a pleasure to work with! He made sure to figure out exactly what we wanted to help us capture our special day. He worked great with our wedding planner and videographer to get all the key moments of the day and he took plenty of time after the ceremony—even staying later than planned—to get shots with the best lighting in the sunset. Ryan also works great with pets, and helped us to include our pup in a bunch of shots. He sent us a couple photos we could share with our family and friends by the very next morning and the rest of the pictures within a few weeks, and they are incredible! Thanks Ryan for giving us so many wonderful images to remember our day!

My family and I took pictures with Ryan a couple days ago in Myrtle Beach. While looking for a reliable and skilled family photographer, I stumbled among his website. As I was looking at some of his work, I was intrigued and decided to send him a message. He always responded to my emails in a polite and timely manner. As for the actual photography session, he is very easy to work with and he is patient with younger children. Ryan was also well-prepared for taking pictures right now, i.e. during the winter. In addition, since the weather wasn’t that great, he still made the best of it and created some beautiful pictures. I would definitely recommend Ryan to my friends and family, and will also be looking forward to contact him for future sessions!!

He really does have a talent for finding the best light and angles despite the variables of the beach. Fantastic turn around time also. Highly recommend!

Easily 5 stars. Ryan's artistry is top notch, his use of light and shadows makes ordinary photos come to life. His professionalism is unparalleled. In the midst of COVID 19 we were forced to change basically everything we had planned for my daughter's wedding. Venue was changed 3 times, number of guests, time, basically everything, and he was there every step of the way. Always willing to go the extra mile. It was such a relief to know that we had someone who was willing to stick with us regardless. Many thanks for helping to make a very frustrating time beautiful!!!!

We received right at 300 pictures and I love every single one of them. Will definitely be using Ryan again!!

Ryan was amazing. So easy to work with before, during and after the wedding. I planned my sister's wedding from NJ and Ryan was so accommodating and helpful. I initially said she wasn't really into the typical wedding poses (older bride, very shy), but he got her to pose in ways we never thought she would, and in every picture she looks like she's having a fabulous time. The resulting photos are gorgeous - I can't say enough great things about Ryan. A definite recommend!!

I don't know how Ryan did it. Under the circumstances (two tired kids, some family awkwardness, the heat and humidity, etc.), there were a staggering number of our photos that were not just gorgeous but downright miracles. I seriously thought there might be just 2 or 3 based on the wiggliness of my 1 and 4yo so I am incredibly pleased. Ryan was easy to work with, communicated well, and was not phased in the least by our rowdy angels or nervous adults. The color and the light in the pictures are so beautiful, and we are having such fun poring over them and deciding which ones to order!

For someone who is self conscious about photos of myself, I felt awesome in our engagement photos. He even allowed our family and all 7 dogs to be in the photo. We cannot thank you enough, Ryan. Everyone loves them!!! Can’t wait for the wedding!!

Windy day on the beach Grande Dunes Ocean Club
We came from out of state for our wedding in Myrtle Beach and Ryan was an outstanding find for our engagement and wedding photos! Ryan was incredibly helpful and flexible right off the bat when we reached out. We scheduled an engagement photoshoot with Ryan a few months before the wedding to get to know him better and learn his style before the big day. Because we were unfamiliar with the area, Ryan helped us find a great location and delivered some of the most beautiful engagement photos I've ever seen in a very short timeline. Because we were only in town for a short time Ryan was even generous enough to invite us to his home office after the engagement photos to talk through the wedding day plan and what to expect. On the day of the wedding Ryan and his lovely assistant (his wife:) arrived right on schedule and began shooting detail shots and setting up the photo booth in the background while us girls hung out upstairs and got ready. Throughout the day Ryan was very helpful making suggestions about lighting/locations and reminding us of photos we had wanted done. One thing I had specifically asked Ryan for on the day of the wedding was exterior shots of the venue in day and night setting since we were drawn to the place for it's beauty and Ryan absolutely delivered. The exteriors are some of my favorite shots and I cannot wait to add them to our included photo album. Normally I do not like having my photo taken as I'm conscious about how it will turn out, but Ryan made the day easy and fun for everyone (including the younger members of our bridal party). We cannot believe that he was able to turn around our wedding album in just under 2 weeks with it being the start of wedding season (mid-May) and we are in love with all our photos. Cannot recommend Ryan enough for wedding or engagement photos - we had a blast and love the result!

His easy to work with personality, confidence, experience, and quality shined through his photos and made us feel so comfortable. His communication was excellent and was there to answer any questions, concerns, and ideas we had. On the wedding day, Ryan did an amazing job of taking our photos in a noninvasive way. It was natural and fun !!! The photo gallery we received over exceeded our expectations. We have so many beautiful photos that help us relive our special day.

We loved working with Ryan. He was the first vendor we booked. I was impressed that he didn't need to use a heavy filter on his pictures (like some photographers we looked at) for them to be beautiful. He did both our engagement and wedding photos and we were not disappointed with anything he did. He was easy to communicate with and was everywhere on the wedding day. He captured some really beautiful moments and some moments we missed completely! If you want a friendly and super talented photographer that's easy to get along with that takes fantastic pictures this is your guy. We are so pleased with our choice. These pictures are all that's left of our day and we are so happy with our choice.

When touring wedding venues with my fiancé, we heard the same name over and over: a photographer named Ryan Smith. When I looked up his website, it was easy to see why — his pictures are stunning. He sees light in a way that makes each photo gorgeous, and even the sunniest outdoor shoots are perfectly balanced and never washed out. We met and hired Ryan right away, and just had our engagement photos done (he is also doing our wedding in September). It was the first professional photography session my fiancé and I have done together, and Ryan made us feel both at ease. Our pictures turned out amazing— we are both so very happy with them! Would definitely recommend Ryan Smith Photography to anyone planning a wedding or wanting professional photographs done.

The photos he captured were amazing and still adorn the walls of our homes. Fast forward to Fall 2018, when my family was finally ALL making the trip to Myrtle Beach for a visit at my parents timeshare. There was no question that I wanted updated photos done by Ryan! He managed to not only capture family shots of all, but photos of my parents with all of their children and grandchildren. The experience of having Ryan as your photographer is seamless from the booking all the way to the gallery. I can not recommend his work enough! We will be back for sure!

His energy was also great, he genuinely wanted to be a part of our day & take great photos of everything. He has a good eye for backdrops & scenery & let’s you just be you.

Ryan was terrific to work with from start to finish. He responded right away to my inquiry, got our date booked, and sent all of the details that we needed for our beach family pics. The locations and timing/lighting that he suggested were perfect. He was easy to work with, friendly, and suggested fun and thoughtful poses as well as candids. We were very impressed that he took so many pictures in just over an hour AND sent them to us soon after our session. He works well with children and is also thoughtful about the needs of older family members. We also appreciated his clear and simple pricing. We were thrilled to find such a professional photographer at the beach and recommend him highly!

Where do I begin?! When searching for a photographer for our wedding we needed someone affordable but whose portfolio captured the style of photos we were looking for - candid, fun, and inspirational. We also needed someone who worked well with children, as it was super important for us to get photos of our girls on our big day. Ryan was fantastic to work with! He corralled our giant family and directed us (we needed a lot of direction) with out missing a beat. He was courteous and worked great with the kids! As my grandmother said, "that man was everywhere!" Ryan captured all the joy and laughter and moments we may have missed otherwise. When I looked at our wedding photos all of the emotions that we experienced that day came rushing back and it was absolutely splendid. It's true what they says about the day speeding by and I am so glad to have these moments in photographs to relive each and every one. We have received numerous comments on how fantastic our pictures are and we could not be more pleased with the entire experience!

I was on a family vacation with extended family in Myrtle Beach and we wanted to have our photos taken while everyone was there together in a beautiful location. After much online research and looking through pricing and galleries of photographers in the area, I landed on Ryan Smith Photography and I'm so glad I did. With 13 people, including three toddlers and other children, Ryan was so great to work with and produced wonderful pictures. Family pictures with littles can be stressful, but Ryan was efficient and we all even had a good time during the session. The photos that came of it were gorgeous. Friends and family were dying over the few photos I posted on Facebook.

We had such a perfect day to take photos! Ryan was extremely professional and the pictures came out unbelievable! In April, it is open until 8 pm which was amazing with sunlight and there are so many spots to take photos that all three of us got in a good workout running around to get the best picture spots. I do wish there was more flowers in bloom but that is not Ryan's fault, he was able to find the ones that were in full bloom and they came out stunning! Would highly recommend his work and professionalism.

Ryan, I can't get over how amazing these pictures turned out. I have seriously looked at them over and over and I can't get enough!! You truly have a gift, and I've really been able to relive each moment just through pictures, which I never thought was possible! I can't tell you how happy these have made me and just how thankful I am for your hard work, attention to detail, patience, kindness, and true talent! I could go on and on! You've brought back to life the best day of my life! I'll somehow work on choosing my favorites for the album, but it'll be hard! Just wanted to send you a quick and big THANK YOU! ☺️

Family potrait on a cold winter evening
Ryan was really a dream to work with, and if I'm honest, he was a hero for our family! He came to the rescue when we needed a last-minute photographer for our Myrtle beach vacation, and was incredibly friendly and accommodating. He has the best spots and ideas for pictures, and we were able to enjoy quality family time while he took our shots. My husband is NOT a fan of taking pictures, and even HE had a good time and is glad we did it. I'm so happy with the beautiful memories Ryan captured, and I think this may be a new tradition for us during future visits to Myrtle beach! Two big thumbs up from the Gibson family! ??

I wanted to do a surprise proposal for my then girlfriend while we were at the beach with my family. I thought it would be nice to have someone there to capture that moment. So, I went to Google and Ryan was one of the first photographers I found. I was very impressed with all of his pictures and with what everyone had said about him in their testimonials. Ryan was very easy to work with while arranging the surprise session and knew exactly the best way to do it. Once we got there he knew the best places to take the pictures and made us feel so comfortable. His pictures are of such great quality and he had a super fast turn around! If you're looking for someone to take pictures around Myrtle Beach then this is your guy! I highly recommend him and hope to work with him again!

Our wedding pictures turned out amazing, so amazing that we are having such a hard time picking out the ones we love the most!! Thanks again Ryan!

Ryan has been taking our family pictures for over two years and we've always been so happy with the results! He has always picks the best locations for photos at the right time of the day. We've always been very happy with how crisp the pictures are and how fast he's able to get the photos back to us. Not many photographers pay attention to so much detail as Ryan does. I only wish I could give him 10 stars!

Dipping back for a kiss by the trees - Oak Street, Conway, SC
Ryan has been very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We had a difficult time finding a place to take pictures (due to damage from Hurricane Matthew). He was flexible up to the last minute and even let us chose a place out in Conway to take pictures. His pictures are great quality (and excellent value)! He had super fast turn around time for our save the dates (under one week) - and even edited some images within 24 hours (hair out of place)- he's super energetic, I would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a photographer in the Myrtle Beach area who shots beautifully and is not overpriced. Thanks Ryan, can't wait for you to shoot our wedding!

We came from Pittsburgh to get married in Myrtle Beach. We found Ryan through Facebook and I'm so happy we did. Ryan was so friendly and accommodating. We went multiple places for our photos and he even took us back over to the beach during the reception to sneak in a few sunset photos. We got our pictures a couple weeks ago and one is as beautiful as the next! He did a fantastic job and now we have all our photos to look at and remember what a wonderful day we had! We recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for excellent photos!

Ryan was amazing to work with. Professional, punctual and truly talented. He captured every aspect of our island wedding...from the marsh to the beach house to the boardwalk, all the while incorporating our bridal party beautifully. My family and friends cannot stop talking about how well the pictures turned out.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of my fairy tale wedding and what better way to remember the big day is by the pictures (or at least that's my opinion). Ryan did a fantastic job at capturing the whole day, from getting ready, to the first look, to walking down the aisle, the "I do's," the first kiss as husband and wife, the first dance, me smashing cake into the grooms face :), and everything in between. He is easy to work with which makes your planning go by smoothly! I relive the best day ever looking through the wedding album he put together on a weekly basis!!

EXCELLENT!!!! One of the best photographers we have worked with! My family was on vacation and they said taking the pictures was one of the highlights of the trip. I have 3 teenagers and they really enjoyed the photo session. Ryan is very reliable and great at what he does. We could not be happier with how the pictures turned out! When I was shopping for frames the other day, I had the pictures with me and several people stopped to ask where we got our pictures taken. They said it makes them want to go to Myrtle Beach now just to get pictures (and we live in Kansas). That is quite a drive! We highly recommend Ryan Smith Photography and if we ever make it back in the area, we will definitely have him take family pictures again!

I can not say enough about Ryan and his work. He is an artist, and truly cares about his work. He was beyond patient with our uncooperative 3 year old, and offered to meet with us on a second date when it became clear that our shoot was not going well! The time he invested in ensuring that we got a perfect shot was truly appreciated. He gave us lasting memories and beautiful keepsakes. I will recommend him to anyone looking to get family photos done in the Myrtle Beach area, and will definitely be looking at getting some more photos done on our next family vacation.

At the end of the summer Ryan took family pictures - I was very nervous about this however the pictures are AMAZING! I am having a difficult time picking my favorites there are so many good ones. We had scheduled our pictures at sunset and the weather was very spotty - but Ryan really was amazing at moving us around so the storm clouds were a benefit rather than a detriment to our pictures. Thanks again for all you did!

I knew that I wanted Ryan to be our photographer before I actually met him in person and this was based solely on the amazing photos he posts on his blog (along with some of the interesting commentary for each of his sessions). When we met in person, my fiancé and I didn’t have to look any further! Ryan did our engagement photos in February on the beach and it was freezing cold. We are not from South Carolina and won’t be back in the area until our wedding in May so I wanted to go ahead with the photo shoot anyway. Despite the freezing cold and wind, Ryan still got some really great shots and we all had a lot of fun! I am really looking forward to the wedding and I know that Ryan will do an excellent job. I highly recommend him!

I felt as if he would be a great photographer for our engagement pictures... I was definitely not let down by any means! We loved our pictures if we only had enough money in our budget to send him to Ohio lol thanks Ryan! U work is amazing!

Ryan, the wedding photos of my son's and daughter-in-law's wedding were beautiful. There were many candid shots in which you captured the moment. I do think, however, that there should have been more formal photos taken of the bride's and groom's family members. We tended to have to scramble to get the few family group shots that we did get. Overall, though, a beautiful job and outstanding photos. Thank you.

I am so happy with how our portraits turned out! Ryan did an amazing job with us. My 3 year hates getting his pictures taken so I was sure our photo shoot was going to be a disaster. I was hoping to just get atleast one good shot of the whole family but Ryan managed to get several and now I am having a hard time choosing which ones I want to hang on my wall because I love them all! I am so glad I chose Ryan to do our portraits! He made it so easy and fun, but kept it very professional. So to Ryan- thank you so much for capturing these memories for us and for being so patient! We love them! The next time we come to Myrtle we will be booking another session!

What an incredible experience! My family and I travelled from Toronto to Myrtle Beach during the winter vacation 2012 and searched the internet for a photographer to take a family picture (11 in total). Ryan did an great job! Through emails it was well organized and my family and I got group pictures and individual family pictures which are amazing! We enjoyed our experience and will definitely call Ryan the next time we are in Myrtle Beach for updated pictures. Thanks Ryan!

I am in love with every picture Ryan took of me and my fiancé. We are not "photo shoot people" and had actually never participated in one before our engagement pictures. When I decided that I wanted to take them in Georgetown, I searched the surrounding area for photographers and immediately fell in love with Ryan's style. It was the perfect choice! He made us both feel extremely comfortable, and we had the best time!! I can't wait to share our photos with family and friends. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone who wants a special memory commemorated.
