I'm a professional photographer and filmmaker, available to capture your special day. Contact me today and we can build a package that meets your budget. I’m experienced in both traditional and contemporary photography styles, every wedding is different and I'm here to make sure that it's captured with the utmost attention to detail. My style can best be described as photojournalistic in style. My job on the day of your wedding is to capture the story of your day.

I watch, listen & slip into the background, capturing moments naturally as they unfold. Hiring a wedding photographer and filmmaker can be the most important decision you make leading up to your wedding day. As your photographer, my job is to capture beautiful, authentic moments without getting in the way. Photojournalism is more than just my “style,” It’s how I entered the world of photography. I have a degree in Journalism from Stony Brook University and worked as a reporter and photojournalist with numerous news outlets.

I’m open to shooting all kinds of weddings and am currently booking weddings for the 2023 & 2024 seasons. You can reach me anytime at Joe@JosephRyder.com. I’m excited to meet you!

Photography

Let’s capture your special day and create images that will last a lifetime. I specialize in portrait work and will create images that reflect your tastes and personalities. No wedding is cookie cutter and your images should reflect that. Image turnaround time is generally 4 - 6 weeks. More than likely they will be done sooner, it just depends on the time of year and how many other projects I’m working on. All images will be delivered electronically and can be downloaded instantly to your computer or phone.

A unique service that I include with all wedding photography packages is a select amount of same-day image edits. Once your ceremony is over and reception is winding down most couples like to post images to Facebook or Instagram. Traditionally most couples end up posting blurry, crooked images shot by a tipsy friend on their iPhone. To combat this I will send you between 5 & 10 images with light retouching to hold you over until you receive your final image delivery.

Many couples ask “how many photos will I receive?” Typically couples will receive between 200 - 250 fully edited and retouched images after a typical wedding. I don’t guarantee a set number of images because it depends heavily on the type and scope of the wedding and reception.
