I'm a Charlotte-based Wedding Photographer and Videographer serving North Carolina. My documentary style of photography and video focuses on creating stories that reflect your uniqueness, capturing your love in a way that's authentic and personal. Along with my wife Jina who is our video editor, we form a passionate team, capturing life's precious moments
In our personal lives, Jina and I are always on a quest for adventure, whether that's camping in the mountains or enjoying family movie nights, we love exploring new places. With our lively 2-year-old twins, Lucas and Emma, we're constantly creating new family memories amidst the world's natural beauty.
From our first conversation with Ryan, we were immediately comfortable with his laid-back approach and loved his creative style. On the day of our wedding, Ryan had come immediately after the birth of his twins and we are so grateful for his commitment to our wedding day. We love having something to look back on and bring us back to our special day—it truly felt like a fairytale dream, and our photos/videos look straight out of a storybook.
Wow, working with Silver Seas was wonderful! Ryan our photographer and Elijah our videographer were both so professional and easy to work with. Communication was flawless and their energy was perfect for my wedding day. Calm, relaxed, efficient, reliable, and supportive. I absolutely recommend them 10/10!
From start to finish, Ryan and his crew made us feel like we were hanging out with friends, who just happened to be amazingly talented photographers and videographers. We did both our engagement shoot and wedding with them and felt so at ease being in front of the camera. They are true pros at capturing moments and memories as opposed to the same posed photos that many other photographers do. Seriously, look no further if you want a team who genuinely cares, asks all the right questions and delivers phenomenal work. Thank you again Ryan and team!

Talking for hours and dozing off with the tv on. The record skips a few times and we pick a new song to fall asleep to. Morning coffee, a few minutes late to work, a brisk walk down the street window shopping for the upcoming fall season. Wool sweaters, bare trees, cold nights.
So cold we can see our breath as we hike the open fields in the fog. Climbing and chasing waterfalls while the sun sets behind the mountain and the snow falls in the river. Chatting with locals while we sip our coffee and head out for the next adventure.
Morning coffee and reading the newspaper together, the cool fall breeze blowing through the window as you pour another cup. Black denim and leather boots, the deepest crimson flannel. Rose gold and velvet. Rich and lush. Red wine and dark twilight nights.
Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls.
