I cannot recommend these photographers enough! The photos that they took for my daughters christening are mind blowing! They captured incredible moments and the quality of the photos/videos are just mind blowing amazing! They as people are amazing too. They played with the kids, they interacted and they were so patient. If you want like over the top amazing photos definitely go with them!

As a photographer my wife put me in charge of choosing the wedding photographer. I had been following different photographers over the years, so when I was given this opportunity there was no question it would be the Brenizers (just Ryan at that time). Our wedding was based in Boston and he was operating out of NYC, so we covered the costs of hotel and transportation which is customary in any photographer's travels.
As my wife and I are coming upon our 10 anniversary, we were contemplating flying Ryan and the family out to Hawaii to shoot a 10 anniversary picture because his skills and artistic creativity is just that good! As friends and family come out, they see our wedding pictures and they are in awe. I continue to be inspired by their work. I can safely say there have been 2 solid decisions I've made in my life. 1. Marrying my wife. 2. Choosing the Brenizers to capture the wedding to aforementioned wife.

I am a publisher and curator in the wedding photography industry and I've worked with Ryan and Tatiana for many years. They've consistently set trends with their distinctive style and they are always responsive and fun to work with. I would highly recommended The Brenizers to any couple looking for in-the-moment photographs, captured with flair.

THEY WERE THE BEST INVESTMENT WE MADE. Not only did they fly down to FL for our wedding, but they worked so hard on our wedding day. We never really noticed them throughout the day but they gave us so many amazing and heartfelt moments that bring me to tears each time I look at our wedding album and photos. My family and friends LOVE them. My Man of Honor has said many times since "No one has ever made me look so good" - when we got our slideshow before they released our sneak peeks my husband told Ryan, "That's it, we're good where we're at now, she's crying and can't stop gushing over them". GUYS, I just can't with the Brenizers, they are so good at what they do and care so deeply for our story and relationship.
When we hired them we knew they were good at storytelling, good at candids and created epic portraits, but nothing prepared us for the lifelong friendship, the emotional attachment we have to our photos and the constant compliments we get from everyone who sees our wedding photos. We both highly recommend the Brenizers, not just for weddings, but family sessions too! We will be clients for life.

Unfortunately, I am very sad to say that I cannot recommend Ryan Brenizer's photography services. Choosing him as my wedding photographer is the one regret I have about my wedding day. While our other vendors were wonderful and genuinely wanted to make our wedding day special, my family and I were extremely disappointed with the overall quality of the wedding photos we received. In addition to arriving late on the day of the wedding, it took 10 weeks to receive our wedding photos after we were told it would take 6-8 weeks.
This delayed sending out our thank you cards. Our family portraits were extremely poor in quality (bad/foggy lighting, family members obscured, background obstacles jutting into the frame behind family members), and our ceremony photos were also very poorly lit. You only get married once, so please don't take a chance with your wedding day photos! Don't make the same mistake we did by choosing Ryan Brenizer as your wedding photographer.

I have been admiring Ryan's work for the past few years, and I must say, he's one of my most inspiring photographers that I look up to. The way he composes his photographs, and the way he lights his subjects, is truly unique.
