RELAXED, DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY




for couples who want storytelling images that capture the real moments as they happen

Your wedding day should be filled with cherished moments spent with loved ones, not just hours posing for the photographer.

As your observer, I will blend in seamlessly with your guests, capturing the unfolding events discreetly. So, take a deep breath, unwind and soak in every precious moment while I take care of the rest!

For me, weddings are all about the real stuff- the nerves, the laughter, the happy tears, and the random dance floor chaos ( and yep, I've seen some serious moves!)

I'm there to capture the whole vibe of your day- from the quiet moments while you're getting ready, to the speeches that get everyone crying or cracking up, and the wild dancing later on.


 

Capturing the real emotions  & the smiles

 

I'm Ryan a candid wedding photographer based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I'm not great at talking about myself ( who is?), but I promise I'm better behind the camera than in front of it. I'm all about making people feel comfortable, blending in like a guest with a fancy camera and capturing the real, unposed magic. If you are looking for a documentary-style photography that feels relaxed, honest and true to you, you're in a right place!

 

We have absolutely no words, we’re just around a quarter of the way through and have had to take a break from all the emotions 🤣


The photos are everything we could have ever wished for and more. You really are incredible at what you do and we are so very grateful to have had both you and Kasia on the day.


Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything!

CANDID WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

 

MY PRIORITY IS SIMPLE -  To capture your wedding day in a way that makes you, your people, and every little moment look amazing.

It's not just about how it looked- it's about how it felt.



Weddings aren't photo shoots- they're messy, funny, emotional, loud and full of love. That's what I am there for!


I'm not about stiff poses or telling you to ''look over there and smile''. I'm about catching the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the hugs that last a little longer, and the dance moves you'll pretend didn't happen.

On your wedding day, my goal is to bring a relaxed, calming presence so you can truly enjoy the moment. I love telling stories through images, steering clear of anything that feels stiff or staged. No awkward poses, no cheesy shots - just genuine memories.

My style blends documentary photography with a bit of street and photojournalism influence - I’m constantly watching, anticipating, and quietly photographing the story as it unfolds.


Years from now, I want you to look back at your photos and feel it all over again- not just what you saw, but what it felt like to be there!

 

 

Testimonials

From the moment we booked our wedding there was never any doubt who to choose as our photographer. Having known Ryan from school and seen his work we already knew we wanted him!


Not only did he capture the big, beautiful moments, the vows, the first kiss, the dancing, but he also caught the little, quiet ones that we might have missed in the whirlwind of the day. His eye for detail is second to none, and every photo feels like a piece of art that somehow manages to bottle up all the emotion, joy, and love we felt.


Thank you, Ryan not just for your incredible work, but for being part of such an important chapter of our lives. We’ll treasure these photos forever.

Lorraine & Matthew

Ryan was our wedding photographer at the end of 2023 and I cannot thank him enough for the photos. Having spoke to Ryan before he knew I wanted more natural photos (along with a few classic group shots) and he competent hit the brief. The whole posing for photographs makes me feel incredibly awkward however, Ryan made me feel completely at ease and barely knew he was there.

Highly recommend Ryan!

Testimonials

Ryan shot our wedding last month and we couldn’t be anymore grateful. From the initial booking, right the way through to the last goodbyes on the day, Ryan was calm, collected and fit our style perfectly.

We are still on such a high, and to have incredible photos that captured not just us, but all our friends and family, is truly the best gift.

We couldn’t recommend Ryan enough, the photos really do speak for themselves!

(And a special mention to the amazing Kasia, who was the perfect added bonus on the day).
