2.16.08 - Rich & Yun-Jin
Posted on February 18, 2008
On Saturday I got to do something that I rarely have time to do: 2nd-shoot a wedding for a friend! When Joy Moody called and asked if I’d join her for a Philly wedding on Saturday, I jumped at the chance because 1) it’s so much fun to be the 2nd shooter, and 2) I usually have my own weddings on weekends so it’s kind of a rare opportunity.
Rich and Yun-Jin are exceptionally photogenic and were a pleasure to work with all day. Not only that, but they gave us FOUR HOURS (!!!) to ride around the city with them for photos. [Helpful tip: BRIDES - would you like to have photos like the ones below? You can’t get this kind of variety in 30 minutes… do yourself and your photographer a favor and make sure to budget enough time in your day to have some fun with photography. We don’t necessarily need 4 hours, but if you speak with your photographer before setting the itinerary in stone, you’ll be much more likely to come away with jaw-dropping shots!]
Anyway, like Joy, I had a difficult time narrowing down the photos… enjoy!
Down to Penn’s Landing for some shots with the Ben Franklin Bridge…
Back into Old City for some shots around Head House Square.
It was a cold day, so we stopped in at Cosi for some coffee.
Then on to FDR Park…
The ceremony was at August Moon in Norristown.
And after dinner, we headed upstairs for the Pae Baek ceremony.
Thanks again to Joy for inviting me along, and to Rich and Yun-Jin and their families for being so all-around awesome. Enjoy your time in Hong Kong!

Customer service is one thing I take very seriously… as I interact with clients, past clients, future clients, and friends & family of clients, I try very hard to respond as quickly as possible. Email is often the most effective way to do that, but occasionally the Internet throws a huge curveball and emails get lost.
This week a couple of emails that I sent never reached their destinations… most of the time this is because they inadvertently get filtered into junk mail, for reasons beyond comprehension. Many of you are saying, “These emails are important! How can I make sure that I receive them?!” I’ll tell you what you can do, dear reader… simply add my email address (ryan@ryanestes.com) to your address book or to your “safe senders” list… that will keep them from being filtered to your junk mail box. Thanks in advance!
Finally and on an unrelated note, I saw this video over on Dane Sanders’s blog and loved it… check it out:

2.2.08 - Dana & Jason
Posted on February 6, 2008
January and February are my slowest times of the year, shooting-wise, but I was fortunate enough to shoot Dana & Jason’s wedding last Saturday. It was a fantastic day, and I want to send a huge thanks to Dana & Jason and their families, because they were so much fun to work with.
Also, thanks to Jenn Childress who, just for fun, joined me for about an hour as we shot portraits of the wedding party and Dana & Jason! There are so many photographers out there who love to give of their time and energy to help others out, and Jenn is a great example of this.
A few favs:
I snagged this one of Dana as she was having her dress put on… unposed, just happened to be in a great corner of the room!
Probably my favorite picture of the day.
Lots more in the slideshow!
