Why hire a professional and not your “family friend!”

I am sure you have heard about those couples that don’t book a professional photographer and use their “family friend” to document their wedding. But then you hear, how they wished they would of hired a Professional because their photos and videos are just okay and not GREAT! They are not happy with the photos and videos they have to remember their day by. Sure it was cheap, or maybe even free. But you “get what you paid for.” We have several clients that come to us after their “family friend” takes their engagements or bridals and decide that they are not going to let the same “okay” images be the only memories from their wedding day. So they decide to hire a professional with the experience and the know how to get the job done right the first time. Because you only have one chance to get it right!

First of all this is your wedding! A day you want to remember! Most of everything you spend on your wedding day is a non-tangible item. Your wedding photos and videos are the only tangible item you have to remember your day by. Secondly, when you hire that “family friend” photographer you need to realize there is a difference between taking good snap shots of family photos at the park and a great wedding photo. Not to mention, group photos that flow and go over smoothly.

By hiring a professional you will get amazing photographs and videos that are tangible items. You don’t want to remember your day by how unorganized group photos were and how lame your couple shots were, or how long it took to take photos. “Family friend” photographers are unorganized and inexperienced. You wouldn’t hire a Plummer to fix your car so why hire a “family friend” to document the most important day of your life.

There are many reasons why you should hire a professional photographer, group photos is one of the main reasons. Group photos are one of our specialties. We can get your photos done and out of the way before you know it. It is very important that your photographer have the know how and the experience when it come to your formal photographs. You don’t want to spend hours taking family and group photos at your wedding. For the photos of the bride and groom you don't want to be standing the same old way in every photo but with only changing the background. Take a look at your friends wedding photos who hired the “family friend" photographer. You will see just that. Unorganized groups, heads missing behind other heads, clumps of people in a photo rather then professional looking photos. And the couple photos will be just okay looking. They don’t say much about the couple or tell a story about their day and who they are.

You need to ask yourself if you want OKAY photos or GREAT photos! If you want GREAT, AMAZING images that express who you are, then Courtney Ryan Photography is the company for you.

About the owners of Courtney Ryan Photography, LLC.

Courtney Ryan (photo and design)
I have been a freelance photographer since 1995. The feelings I portray in my photographs have brought joy to many people. I capture the moments that make life special. Specializing in weddings, family and children portraits, I relay a story with every photograph I capture. My goal when I pick up my camera is to be able to show the feelings and personality of the people in the photo.  I take my time and create a relaxed atmosphere, where you can feel comfortable. I guarantee that as my customer, you will receive a series of photos that not only will be of professional quality but will also communicate a feeling or story. 

On a personal note: I love the sound of my children laughing, the color yellow, the smell of the wet forest after it rains, the sound of the ocean, swimming, fishing, my dogs, spending time with my family and Mexican food.

Jeremy Haacke (photo, video (film & burn) and customer relations)
I have been in the photo and video industry since 1996. I grew up in a household where my father was a photographer and we had a darkroom in our basement, so Photography and Videography have always been a big part of my life. I started photo and video editing around 1999. I specialize in wedding documentary videography. But I also have worked as a sport and event videographer & photographer as well. As a wedding photographer, I use different techniques and angles to help create images that is different from any other, and brings emotion to those see them.  I try and bring out the couples love for each other and show there relationship with each image.
On a more personal note, I love camping, fishing, boating, my family, spending time with my two wonderful sons, cooking, and road trips! Oh... and I hate laundry.
