Ryan is the best! He brought such a warm, positive energy to our Chinese family banquet and made everyone feel comfortable. He captured all the beautiful, joyful, and meaningful moments so naturally. Our entire family loves the photos! We’re so grateful to Ryan and would absolutely love to work with him again for our future events.

Ryan was fantastic! I hired him for my mom’s 70th bday party and man did he deliver. I wish I had booked him for longer! The photos he took were the gift I gave my mom and she is SO thrilled to have them. I would definitely hire Ryan again for an event in the future.

We were so lucky to have Ryan click our wedding pictures! He was such a sport, showed up on time at the venue, steered our crowd to pose with us, helped us bring out the best for the photos :) And his captures are beautiful!

Ryan is excellent! The only thing that outshines the quality of this photography is his upbeat attitude. It shows through it the photos he took for our wedding. The guests are very happy, because of the wedding yes, but also because Ryan is so fun and just such a good guy. A number of my guests commented on his good attitude. Another guest commented that they were amazed with the photos, because they didn't even know he was there. So he's present and bubbly when he needs to be, and in the background at the right moments. Only thing you have to look out for are he forgets to hit reply all to emails (haha not a big deal). Also, he is a good photo director, but I would say to get the most out of your experience with him, be ready to personally, or have someone else, coordinate the photo sequence. It worked out well for us at our wedding, but I do wish we had a better "day of coordinator" or something like that to say "grandma, grandpa, get ready for your photo. You're next." Super good guy. After the wedding, I realized the value of vendors having a positive attitude outweighs anything else. It makes the day so much better. I know because we did have two vendors who really weighed us down... But not Ryan!
