Investing in professional archival photo prints th

Investing in professional archival photo prints that are matted and framed by an artisanal hand is a great way to preserve special memories for a lifetime! Here are some reasons why:

Longevity: Professional archival photo prints are made with high-quality, fade-resistant inks and paper that will stand the test of time. They are designed to last for generations, ensuring that your wedding photos will be cherished by you, your children, and even your grandchildren.

Museum-quality: Archival photo prints are made using the same processes and materials used by museums and galleries to display artwork. This means that your wedding photos will look like works of art, with vibrant colors and rich details.

Hand-crafted: Having your wedding photos matted and framed by an artisanal hand adds a personal touch to your photos that cannot be replicated by machine-made frames. Each frame is custom-made to fit your specific photos, with attention to detail and craftsmanship that ensures a flawless finish.

Protection: Archival photo prints are designed to protect your photos from damage caused by light, moisture, and other environmental factors. By investing in professional framing, you can ensure that your wedding photos are protected from fading, discoloration, and other forms of damage.

Display: Having your wedding photos professionally matted and framed makes them easy to display in your home, where they can be enjoyed by you and your loved ones every day. With a custom-made frame, you can choose a style and color that complements your decor, making your photos a beautiful and meaningful addition to your home.

The result is a timeless, museum-quality heirloom that you and your family will treasure for generations to come!!! Head on over to prints.coryryan.com today to get started on your next order! 🖼️

WHAT DO WE NEED PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS?

WHAT DO WE NEED PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS?

One of you popped the question, the other said, “YES!” and now you’re counting down to your big day. While it’s natural to look forward to the day when you can tie the knot, don’t rush by this special part of your love story. I encourage every couple to begin their journey into marriage with a professional engagement session. Here’s a few reasons why…

1. It Marks the Beginning of Your Story Together: Whether your story begins early or later in life, one day, you’ll look back on these photos and laugh about these days and reminisce about how much your love has grown and changed since then.

2. A High-Quality Camera Does Not Equal Professional Photos: A fancy pen does not make a great writer. Similarly, anyone can go out and buy a top-notch camera, but that does not equate to professional photography. A professional photographer does more than take pretty pictures. She knows when to snap the photo before the moment has passed. She instinctively knows how to make you look great naturally with minimal editing needed. And she can find great light in just about any scenario.

3. You Can Use Engagement Photos for Everything: Save The Dates, Holiday Cards, Wedding Websites, Invitations & Wedding Displays, Wall Art & Photo Albums

This venue is the only zero-waste facility we've heard of in Austin! Thank you, Barr Mansion, for making our special day not only beautiful but also sustainable.

Have you ever wondered about the age at which most

Have you ever wondered about the age at which most men and women get married in Texas? Well, I came across this fascinating statistic, and I couldn't help but share it with you all. According to the latest data from the US Census Bureau, the median age at first marriage in Texas in 2020 was 28.7 years for men and 26.7 years for women. It's interesting to note that these numbers have been increasing steadily over the past few decades, with people waiting longer to get married compared to previous generations. So, what are your thoughts on these median ages for marriage? How old were you (or will you be) when you tied the knot? Let me know in the comments below!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CATHERINE & GARRETT!!! Love and

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CATHERINE & GARRETT!!! Love and elegance filled the historic University Christian Church as I captured every moment of this beautiful couple's timeless black and white wedding. This stunning church is situated in central Austin at the edge of the University of Texas campus, and features a beautiful carved stone front entrance. It's a perfect location for graduates who want some photos of the UT fountain and tower in the background of a few photos. After the ceremony, the happy couple and their bridal party hopped on a bus back to the luxurious Four Seasons Austin for their reception and party. Stay tuned for part 2, where we'll be sharing more of their unforgettable moments. Are you planning your dream wedding? Let's capture every moment together! Contact us today to learn more.

In today’s digital age, images are almost as fle

In today’s digital age, images are almost as fleeting as the memories themselves. Social media has become a place to drop a pic and move on. You upload albums to Facebook and forget the other options. But your wedding photos deserve better!!!

When it comes to your wedding photos, it doesn’t make sense to invest in professional fine art photography and then print the images at your local drug store just to stick them haphazardly inside a cheap, flimsy album. The images are sure to lack the quality with which they were taken. They end up poorly cropped, ruined or forgotten. After your wedding photos are complete, you need a sturdy, beautiful album that can become a family heirloom, passed down for generations to come.

I work with one of the best album creators to provide you with a custom-designed wedding book that will beautifully display your photos for a lifetime – and beyond. I will partner with you to pick the perfect images for your album and expertly design the layout for you. You choose the size of the album, number of pages, cover debossing options and color of the album cover.

I utilize a seamless flushmount display so all of your images lay completely flat without any gutter gaps to get in the way of your full-page or two-page displays. The pages are rigid professional grade photo material and can withstand more use than typical album paper – these albums are built to last, and they maintain 100% visual quality of your wedding photos. These luxury wedding albums are the highest quality you can purchase as a professional photographer, featuring true photographic quality prints from Kodak Professional Endura paper that are mounted on archival board. You can enjoy looking at them over and over again without fear of damaging them.

Love knows no bounds, and this elopement is proof! 💍🌺 This intimate wedding at Woodbine Mansion was simply magical - we were surrounded by vibrant florals, heartfelt (tearful) vows and this truly gorgeous couple (inside & out). This bride oversaw some of the highest end weddings in her time as catering manager at The Four Seasons @fsaustin, so it was a huge honor having us there to capture these breathtaking wedding moments. ❤️ ⁠

ON THE BLOG! “5 REASONS YOU NEED A LIFE PHOTOGRAPHER”

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?

As a mom of 2 kids 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, from the beginning when you say “I do!” 💍

Leading the way into forever with music and love 🎶💕 This bride and groom entered their pavilion reception in style with their very own second line inspired entrance!
A second line is a traditional part of New Orleans culture, often seen in weddings and other celebrations. It involves a parade-like procession where a brass band, also known as the "first line," leads the way. It's a joyous and lively celebration that's become an integral part of New Orleans' cultural heritage.

Thank you to the amazing horn players and our incredible guests for making it a moment they will never forget!
