What’s included

Ryan Taylor, couples and engagement photographer in Irvine, California

Hi, I’m Ryan.

I’m an Irvine-based photographer who believes your couples photos should feel like you. I keep sessions relaxed and unhurried, with light direction when you need it and room for the natural moments in between.

Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or simply want photos together, I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I reply to every inquiry personally, within one business day.

Plan your session

Common questions

What's the best time of day for engagement photos?

Golden hour — the last hour or two before sunset — almost always gives the best light. We'll plan your session time around it.

What should we wear?

Coordinated, not matchy — complementary tones work better than identical outfits. You'll get a short style guide once you book.

Do you shoot weddings?

Not currently — this is engagement, anniversary, and couples portrait work specifically. Happy to point you toward wedding photographers if you need one.
