We hired Ryan for our wedding in Charleston, SC and we are beyond happy with his work. His communication is excellent, he is creative was wonderful with organizing group photos on a chaotic and busy wedding day. 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!!

Ryan is a fantastic photographer! With 3 young children, I was nervous on how our session would go. Ryan was incredibly professional, friendly, and most importantly, patient! We were blown away with the shots that he got and will use one of them for our Christmas card photo this year. We are so thankful to have captured such happy times at the beach with our young family. We are Ryan's biggest fans!! 5 stars all the way!

Ryan did an amazing job with our crew! He was professional and fun. Pictures can be a task when you have 4 littles, but he made it a breeze! It was hard to choose our favorites as we loved them all!

We are so glad we had Ryan take more pictures for us! We used him to take our surprise engagement pictures 6 years ago and came back this year for maternity photos. He was again great to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot, took fantastic photos, and returned them very quickly. I highly recommend Ryan and cannot wait to go back to him to take family photos!

July 2023, destination wedding bride: We absolutely LOVED our experience with Ryan Smith. He is incredibly helpful, detail oriented, and patient. 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!!
