Ryan was recommended to us by the officiant for our wedding, and he literally blew us away. From our initial meeting, until the day of, and the delivery of our photos, we could not have asked for a better experience.We were planning a simple wedding in NOLA while living in Indiana. Ryan helped scope out the venue ahead of time and even recommended places for dinner and drinks afterward. Our time was very limited, but we feel like he helped us experience so much while we were there, and the photos he provided are absolutely incredible.We had time to kill in between the ceremony and our dinner reservation, and Ryan showed us the way to a crawfish boil at a craft brewery and continued to capture little moments with our family along the way. We really appreciated the moments he captured with our kids, and he was able to get the groom (who is typically camera shy) to open up and feel more comfortable in front of the camera.We truly feel like Ryan helped ease our nerves throughout the planning of our destination wedding and would highly recommended working with him for any event. You wont be disappointed!

Y'all and the rest of the family were a pleasure to work with, and your beautiful photos certainly speak for it. I still get all squishy looking at your magazine-like wedding photos! Stunning!
Once again, thank you for having me be your wedding photographer. It is always my hope that you can look back at your photographs and treasure them forever, as well as love our experience working together :)

We had the pleasure of booking Shades of Gray Photography for our wedding, and we couldnt be happier with the results! From our very first interaction, Ryan impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and incredible talent. His preparation and organization leading up to the big day gave us complete confidence that our wedding photography was in the best hands.When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away! Every image was beautifully captured, from the big, emotional moments to the smallest, candid details that truly made the day special. Ryans keen eye, attention to detail, and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera set him apart. Not only did he capture stunning photos, but he also made the experience fun and effortless!If youre searching for a photographer who will go above and beyond, look no further. Ryan exceeded all of our expectations, and we would 100% book him again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

From the moment we began planning our wedding in New Orleans, we knew finding the right photographer was crucial. Ryan and team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were responsive to our vision, attentive to our needs, and incredibly professional, from our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos.The quality of Ryan's work is simply outstanding. From the candid shots that captured raw emotions and funny moments to the meticulously arranged portraits, every photo captured our celebration perfectly. One of our requests was to take pictures in front of the colorful houses within the Marigny neighborhood. Not only did his team agree to that, he took the time to scout the area to determine which houses would work best logistically and aesthetically prior to the wedding day. They were able to capture the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans while also managing to complement our style and personality.We would certainly recommend Shades of Gray Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in New Orleans!Thank you, Ryan, for capturing our special day so beautifully. Choosing you as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made, and we are grateful for the memories you have preserved for us!

A few months ago, I was planning a surprise engagement and engagement party for my girlfriend in New Orleans. Living in Atlanta, Georgia, I had to coordinate everything from a distance.Fortunately, Ryan came highly recommended through the venue where I hosted the surprise party.Ryans expertise, knowledge, and energy were invaluable. He worked closely with me to bring my vision to life. We coordinated the perfect location, and when the moment arrived, he seamlessly captured our special day. His eye for beauty familiarity with the French Quarter ensured that our memories would last a lifetime.Looking ahead, I look forward to working with Ryan again for our engagement pictures this fall. His professionalism, energy, and ability to capture authentic moments make him an outstanding photographer. If youre nervous about working with a professional photographer, I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan. He made our engagement day extraordinary, and I trust hell continue to create magic for his clients in New Orleans.

Ryan did a great job getting to know us before the wedding and making sure to get the shots we really wanted. He came with a great partner who was also warm and professional. My husband and I had never had professional photos done together before, and it was nice to feel so comfortable with the photographer right away! We were so excited about having a photographer who would be able to capture more than just "getting ready shots" and love the amazing photos of our family and friends dancing and enjoying themselves! Here are some of my favorites:**I didn't include a lot of our friends and family here because I didn't want to post people without permission, but trust me that there are really fun photos of them getting down on the dance floor :) **
