We met in 2013 and quickly realized we shared a passion for weddings and storytelling. In 2015, we started Silver Seas to bring our own vision to the wedding world.
Ryan began with photography and Elijah with video, but over time we’ve grown into hybrid shooters who love capturing both. Our focus is keeping things natural for our couples while pushing each other creatively to tell stories with honesty and heart.
When we’re not at weddings, you’ll usually find us outside camping, hiking, or traveling with our cameras, photographing family, friends, and the landscapes we love.

Hey, We're Ryan & Elijah!
We’re inspired by love, light, and the beauty of the outdoors. Our approach to wedding photography and video is about more than just documenting the day—it’s about capturing how it truly felt. We focus on the emotions, the laughter, and the quiet in-between moments that make your story unique.
More than anything, we want you to feel at ease, like you’re spending time with friends who happen to have cameras in hand. That comfort allows us to capture your day with honesty and heart, creating images and films that you’ll look back on and instantly remember what it felt like to be there.
Inspired by love and nature, we capture each couple’s story with creativity and heart. Our approach is rooted in authentic storytelling, preserving the emotions and connections that make your day unforgettable. We are grateful to every couple who trusts us to document these cherished memories.

Hi! We're Ryan and Elijah, wedding photographers based in Charlotte & Northern California.
They shot a friend's wedding years ago and I was so impressed with their work that when my partner and I got engaged we went straight to them when it was time to book a photographer/videographer.... Choosing Silver Seas to capture this life event for us brought us calm confidence because we knew we were in good hands. Cannot recommend this team enough!
Ryan and his team are absolutely amazing!
