Myrtle Beach Professional Photographer - Ryan Smith

Candid, unique, and fun wedding, family and event photography

About Ryan Smith Photography of Myrtle Beach

I specialize in relaxed, fun and creative wedding, family, engagement and couple portrait and event photography for Myrtle Beach and the surrounding coastal areas of SC.

My goal as a photographer is to not only capture a beautiful picture, but to capture genuine emotions using a modern photojournalist approach. As a small business I'm the only photographer you will be dealing with from setting up the appointment to the final image printing or album design, so you can always expect consistent results. I always guarantee satisfaction and make sure that you are happy before a sitting is complete.

I've had clients tell me that their experience was the most enjoyable and relaxed they have ever had with a photographer, view my Client Reviews or Facebook page. I use top of the line professional Nikon equipment and I'm a member of the PPA. If you are interested in making an appointment please select contact above.

I had a really busy couple of weeks with … Continue reading

April 24, 2012: Some random things from April and how to shoot backlit subjects.

I always have trouble making blog posts when things start to get busier.  So I just wanted to post a few random pictures from this month.
