What a gift Ryan gave our family! We will treasure these pictures for many years to come! Ryan was so responsive and is a true professional… capturing an active (fearless) baby is a HUGE feat! Thank U so much Ryan!
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.
Wow Ryan captured the the absolute love and enjoyment for this 50th wedding anniversary. A lot of hard work and planning went into it and the pictures were just amazing!
Ryan made the experience very fun and memorable for us! We aren't big picture people, but he made us feel very comfortable through the whole process. Very thankful for how the pictures turned out and got them fairly quick after the photoshoot!
Ryan did a wonderful job taking our family pictures. We were a very large group and he not only got great pictures of us all together he took time to take lots of individual and couples pictures too. I am so happy we took the time to get family pictures while visiting Myrtle Beach with Ryan.
Ryan was phenomenal with our very large extended family group of 20 people, and we highly recommend him! Even the kids felt very comfortable, and he kept things moving and fun--no small feat with a group our size and with kids ranging from 6 to 17. We are all thrilled with the photos! 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!
Amazing experience for my daughter's senior pictures at The Point in Cherry Grove. Planning to book him for our family photos this summer. Highly Recommend!
Ryan was great! Great sense of humor helping my family and I to relax and be our best selves for our pictures. The pictures were fantastic, making it hard to choose the ones that we loved best. Thanks, Ryan!!
We absolutely loved Ryan!! We have loved our photos so much! Got our wedding album and we love it even more. My grandmother loved the pictures so much she wants to buy two small albums for herself!
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!
Ryan Smith Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the first time we met with Ryan, his communication was quick, reasonable, and very understanding of what we were looking for. The quality of his work was simply beautiful, capturing all the special moments of our day in an amazing way. Ryan listened closely to what we needed and took stunning photographs that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We couldn't be happier with the experience and the final photos - Ryan truly helped make our wedding day perfect.
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!
Ryan did an amazing job with our engagement photos! The lighting and completed edits of the photos are phenomenal. There are so many photos to choose from and I know we will treasure these forever. He is very professional, experienced, thorough, and has many great recommendations to support wedding planning too. Cannot wait for our wedding photos!
Ryan worked hard on our long wedding day and returned our photos so fast! He kindly organized our bridal party and photographed candid moments with our family. He really knows how to capture the Marina Inn’s beauty.
Amazing photos and so great with capturing amazing moments of the littles!
