About Me:
Heavily influenced by my career as a published musician and visual artist, I bring my creative media and artistic perspective to my photography. I've had the great opportunity to collaborate with well-established wedding photographers and makeup artists in the past. I now pivot these skills into several areas of my photography, including weddings, personal portraits, and special occasions.
My past is further broadened as a published music artist, epicurean, sommelier, and renaissance-man about New Orleans; bolstered by a wide-ranging education including medical school, foreign language, and poetry.
These diverse paths have not only allowed me to transcend my photography into “art for art’s sake," but be able to artfully capture the defining moments of your life to a quality not often seen.

Ryan was awesome! He managed to corral 18 people into numerous group photos and produced high quality photographs that everyone in attendance will treasure! He was funny, professional, prompt and took extra measures to ensure that our photos and the entire experience went smoothly. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our reunion photos.

I cannot say enough good things about Ryan. He was so incredibly fun to work with and brought such great energy and creativity to the whole day. Prior to the wedding, I shared a pinterest board of wedding photo inspo with him; to say he exceeded those expectations is an understatement. We are so in love with our photos!

We chose Ryan as the photographer for our wedding in New Orleans. Since the beginning Ryan was very easy to work with and always available for questions. He took the time to learn more about us, made sure to take pictures that would match our personality and that reflect our relationship. The day of the wedding Ryan was amazing, he made us very comfortable and took stunning pictures. Price was more than fair for the amount of time he spend on editing the pics.
Thank you so much for all your work !
I recommend Ryan !

Ryan was so amazing on our wedding day! Our pictures are stunning and I'm so grateful my husband and I chose Ryan to capture such a special day. The only thing I regret is not having more bridal portraits, but this was due to time constraints we couldn't control. Actually, Ryan asked for more time but we were unable to add more. He still fit it all in, even with the time constraints, and even came early to get detail shots of the venue. He was so thorough, captured every moment, and went along with a couple off-the-wall ideas we had. (My favorite one - during the reception, we had the DJ announce that my husband and I were going to run around with Ryan during the length of one song and take a picture with every table. This way we got to have a photo with every single wedding guest. It was so fun and now we have a visual of everyone there! Highly recommend).
On top of how great he was day of, he also got our photos delivered in three weeks!! I was amazed. Ryan is easy to work with, affordable, and so talented. I would recommend him to anyone!
I attached some of my favorites :)

I worked with Ryan for wedding reception photos. I asked for about 20 family pictures (and paid accordingly) and he sent us muuuuuch more than that, including giving my husband and I a wedding photo shoot. He was super professional and knowledgable, and delivered everything we wanted and more. We have many lovely photos with our family now, which is so important to us due to our wedding being delayed multiple times. I imagine I will have many of these framed and sent to family members. I loved working with him and highly recommend!
