Ryan Shiver Photography — Local services in Oakland

I recently hired Ryan to capture moments at my boyfriend's 50th birthday celebration, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, working with Ryan was an absolute pleasure.

Ryan was easy to work with. He was attentive to our needs and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of the event was captured beautifully. His professionalism and efficiency made the entire process seamless. Ryan was always quick to respond to any inquiries or requests, which helped alleviate any stress leading up to the event.

Ryan managed to capture every special moment, emotion, and person ensuring that we would have memories to cherish for years to come.

The icing on the cake was using the stunning photos to create a beautiful photobook. Ryan's images told the story of the day in such a meaningful way, and having them compiled in a photobook was the perfect way to preserve those memories...

Absolutely blown away by the engagement photos we had done with Ryan! His work is exceptional and I am recommending him to all of my family and friends. He had such a fun energy during the shoot that I felt very comfortable and relaxed which in turn made the photos look very natural but absolutely stunning. He is a true professional in not only his photography skills but in his response time to emails and turn around period for editing the photos. I came in from out of state to get the pictures done and Ryan offered many wonderful locations and ideas for which I am so grateful. He also accommodated my schedule on the day of when I had to push the appointment time back due to a scheduling mistake on my end. Overall, it was an incredible experience and you will not regret hiring him. If you want beautiful looking photos done by someone who truly listens to your vision, Ryan is absolutely the guy...
