Working with Rylan (they/he)
I have been honored to be present to document some of the most amazing moments for people. Everyone is unique and deserves to be seen and celebrated for who they are; that is what I strive to provide for all of my clients. It’s important for me to allow a space where people feel welcomed, and allowed to express themselves so they have portraits and memories that are authentic to who they are.
After 5+ years in the industry and hundreds of weddings of all varieties (as well as my background in music education), I am able to be there for you on your wedding day with attention to detail, calmness, flexibility on a whim, and some laughter.
If my work resonates with you, but you need any accommodations or flexibility, please don’t hesitate to reach out to see how we can work together!
My priorities include:
Celebrating and affirming all partners equally
Giving your details the attention they deserve
Quality and expert lighting in any situation
Creative, guided portraits and documented candids
True to life editing, and a focus on skin tone

Wedding Packages and Pricing
-

Total Celebration - Full day $6300
Up to 12 hours of continuous coverage with Rylan, so no need to worry about hourly coverage options.
2nd photographer up to 8 hours.
Great for large wedding days, if travel is involved throughout the day, and if there are multiple events or multiple social locations at the venue you want covered.
If your wedding is going to be an experience and don’t want to worry about missing coverage on some of the party, this helps decision fatigue for package options. -

We like to party - $5100
8 hours of continuous coverage with Rylan as lead photographer.
2nd photographer
Great for weddings with 100+ guests, and getting additional angles throughout the day.
Easily cover getting ready in two locations and have a photographer in multiple locations at the same time. -

Simple Coverage - $4400
8 hours continuous coverage with Rylan
Very typical wedding coverage mostly covering some of getting ready through most of the ceremony.
Works best for weddings below 100 guests, mostly in one location (or locations very nearby to each other).
Some frequently asked questions and their answers

-
I am based in Southern New Jersey, but also regularly photograph in Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and Maryland.
-
ABSOLUTELY! I love traveling and have photographed weddings in Florida and Michigan, but would love to expand more.
I would especially love to photograph weddings or elopements in Lake Tahoe, Provincetown, and Muir Woods.
-
Most coverage will not incur any travel fees.
NYC weddings are $150 additional.
Locations further than 2 hours from my location may have an additional travel fee.
-
While physical prints are not included in packages, I do offer various prints! You and your guests can print photos yourself, or you can order through the gallery delivery site directly. Orders placed on the site will go through select professional print labs that I use, and I will double check orders before approving them to go to print, especially to check for any cropping issues and let people know options if there will be any issues.
I also offer custom album design where you can choose from a variety of materials and print types. You choose photos that you would like in the album, I will create a design, then send it to your for approval or any changes. Prices will be custom and vary based on the design choices and amount of pages.
-
I have two Canon R6, and a Fuji XT-5, both use dual card slots that record to both cards at all times. These come with me to all weddings so even if I have issues with one camera, I have backups. I also have a variety of lenses so there are back up lenses for me to use in case as well.
-
I record to 2 cards throughout the day so if 1 card fails, there is a second card also recording those images.
After the wedding I upload the photos to my desk top, an external hard drive, and a cloud server.
I guarantee your images for at least 1 year (though many of my galleries have been hosted on my gallery delivery site for multiple years - and they stay on my other storage devices as well).
I suggest after delivery of your gallery, you download your images and also back them up on an external hard drive or thumb drive. Don’t forget to print photos as well so you can have physical copies as well!
-
Yes! I will be the primary photographer at your wedding - I will not send an associate in my place unless there is an extreme emergency. In that case, I have a network of others I can contact, and would be in communication with you about that.
If you also chose to have a second photographer - I also utilize my network of colleagues to have photograph with me. They are also all other photographers with businesses AND are also in the LGBTQ+ community or allies.
-
While I don’t advertise it in my main coverage, I do offer film as well! It would not be the priority, but I can definitely include some film for your day for a modest additional cost if it is to your interest.
-
I do not currently offer photography directly under my brand. I strongly prefer to refer folks to trusted videographers that I have worked with who primarily focus on video, rather than trying to offer as much as possible under my own brand.
A dedicated videographer will fully focus on your day and know what they need for your video needs as well, and retain full creative control with their business - much the same way that I will dedicate my experience and cater it to your day.
While it may seem like a great idea to hire as many vendors under one umbrella as possible; that can quickly lead to less personalization and less quality control.
