elcome to my new blog. If you came here looking for the old site, you'll notice that there are a few changes here. Actually, lots of changes...important ones so that hopefully my friends and clients can get to know a little bit more about me and my work. So here's a little background:

A few years ago, I was given what was an opportunity of a lifetime; the chance to work with a world-class team of photographers. I was drawn to their innovative style and forward-thinking mindset, and it was from there that our team and my passion for photography grew...and grew. Everyday since has been a learning experience for me, and photography continues to be a huge part of my life. I hope you enjoy this new site and feel free to leave your comments anytime. - Ryan

4 Weddings and an engagement



02.02.10

WHEN:
Nov 2009

WHERE:
Legion of Honor


My last trip to the San Francisco included a brief stop at the Legion of Honor. This was my first visit to the museum and it was well worth the drive over from downtown. Time was limited on this trip and I only had a few hours to venture around town. Funny thing happened...as soon as I was about to leave, a ton of people showed up. Well, it turned out to be 4 different couples having their wedding portraits taken as well as an engagement shoot. I had to get a shot of the craziness.

WHERE:
world wide web


A little over a year ago I contacted Brock and Dave, asking them to help me in redesigning a new look for my personal blog. They were so helpful in guiding me through the entire process and giving me such valuable tips on how to create the design I was going for.


I specifically wanted something that had a different layout from a traditional blogging format, and most importantly, was easy to use. With my old blog, I had way too many options for posting, most of which I never used. Infinet was able to streamline every aspect for me.

For anyone looking for a team to help build a blog from the ground up every detail ( even from the file uploading process to the text layout) was incorporated into the final product. They also provide services for designing websites as well.

Pacific Weddings - Winter/Spring 2010 Issue



01.15.10

WHEN:
10/05/09, 4:15 PM

WHERE:
Hawaii Polo Club, Oahu


Here are some of my images from the latest fashion shoot for Pacific Weddings Magazine, taken at the Hawaii Polo Club on Oahu's North Shore. It's always such a great opportunity working with the team from the magazine. In the past few years I've had so many great experiences alongside the Visionari photographers. You can see more images from this shoot in the latest issue of Pacific Weddings as well as on their blog, Love Notes

I'll be posting more images from some of my most recent weddings, so stay tuned.





















Teri + Guy



11.12.09

WHEN:
09/19/09

WHERE:
Ihilani


When my long-time friend Blake recommended me to shoot his brother's wedding, I was honored. Having gone to high school with Guy, the wedding was a reunion of sorts, and it was nice seeing so many familiar faces that day. Being the dedicated fisherman, Guy's wedding band was definitely a signature piece. Can you spot the ulua?


As you can see, Teri made a beautiful bride...and the fact that she is so photogenic made the portrait sessions a breeze. She literally looked flawless at any angle. Thanks guys for letting me be a part of your special day.

To see more of Teri and Guy's wedding day, you can visit their slideshow HERE.













Na 'Aina Kai wedding



10.17.09

WHEN:
10/17/09 9:42 AM

WHERE:
Na Aina Kai


While I often get the opportunity to shoot destination weddings, it is the small spontaneous ones that allow time for capturing really candid moments. Dina and Bryon's wedding on Kauai was just that, and Na Aina Kai was the perfect location to get shots of them sharing their special day together.


A quiet stroll...
