Today we’d like to introduce you to Cory Ryan.
Hi Cory, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I originally went to school for film and video production and initially dipped my toes into the world of weddings as a freelance videographer beginning in 2002. From there, I was quickly hooked on the world of weddings and slowly transitioned into still photography over the next three years. I officially began my business, Cory Ryan Photography, in 2005 and added a senior associate photographer Gia in 2016. We would be thrilled and honored to be your wedding photographers! With over 15 years of experience, we’ve seen and solved every tricky lighting situation that exists. Each wedding image is finely edited to timeless perfection before delivery. We also come to every wedding prepared with lighting equipment needed to make sure we nail it every time. There are no second chances to capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment, so we bring all our enthusiasm and experience to every wedding day! The images we create are the epitome of Austin, TX and everything we love about it – vibrant, fun, creative & real! We take care to capture all the fleeting special moments of your wedding day as you are surrounded by your loved ones. So years from now when you look back on your wedding photos, you will remember all the special moments like it was yesterday! In addition to our expertise as photojournalists, we excel at taking stunning and creative portraits.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been a 15-year journey to get here. Photography is a very competitive field in Austin, and it’s taken years of hard work & relationship building & stellar customer service to get at the top of our game. Having two children in 2014 and 2017 was definitely a struggle while also keeping my business alive. Being a self-employed mom of young children are two of the hardest jobs to do at the same time. Now, with my kids three and six, we are in a must better groove and have all our work/life systems in sync!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Finding a photographer you love and trust is invaluable. After all, good photography requires some vulnerability. You have to be willing to open up and share some of the best and most intimate parts of your life in order to get beautifully authentic milestone photos. Wouldn’t it be great to have one photographer who feels like family to capture all of life’s greatest milestones – and the sweet moments in between? While we are primarily wedding photographers, we’ve taken care to expand our services to continue our valued relationship along your family journey. After the wedding day, we often do anniversary, maternity, newborn & family photos for all of your family milestones! As a mother myself, I saw a need for “lifetime” photographers. So many specialize in single life events – there are wedding and newborn photographers galore – but not many who can expertly photograph all of life’s moments. A life photographer is just like it sounds. You need someone you can count on through it all to document precious memories year after year, and I’m here for it. I’ve photographed everything from romantic first looks to safe newborn poses.
My specialty? Authenticity and human connection. I photograph what you cherish most – family, in all of its forms and stages. I want to be your family photographer for a lifetime. A consistent style will help you show off your story beautifully. Every photographer has his or her own unique style and “eye.” Creative tastes vary quite a bit. For instance, some go heavy on the portraiture, while others opt for a lifestyle look. Some incorporate warm, rich hues, while others prefer light and airy. The best way to achieve consistency for your wall art and albums is to keep the same photographer. Then, you will have a seamless look as your story unfolds from one milestone to the next.
