WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR SESSION

Printing rights

Every stunning photograph in your gallery is logo-free, print-ready, and 100% yours to use however you please—no restrictions, no watermarks, no hidden fees to "purchase" a high resolution image. Whether you want to create save-the-dates, print wall art, make a photo book, or share on social media, you have complete freedom to enjoy your images for years to come. Compare my generous offerings with other photographers who only provide you with low resolution jpegs and you'll start to see how I stand above the rest.

1 Hour Photo Session

Each engagement session includes one hour of on-location photography, resulting in a stunning online gallery of images. But here's what sets my approach apart: I'm not a clock-watcher and never will be. I understand it can take time for couples to relax and feel natural in front of the camera, and I know exactly how many poses and creative setups are needed. My commitment is to the quality of your experience and your final images—you're getting the complete, beautiful gallery you deserve, no matter what.

Online Gallery

While most other photographers only provide a handful of carefully selected images from your session (yuck!), I take quite a different approach—you'll receive an extremely generous 150-225 professionally processed, high resolution, logo-free photographs that showcase your love story from every angle. Plus, your online gallery is always available to you 24/7 and easy to share with family and friends. For your privacy, your gallery can also be password protected, so only the people you love will get to view your images.

Engagement Session FAQ

Great question! The first step to booking with me is to reach out via my Contact Form. Once you have done this, we will setup a time to chat about your session. This is where we will run through ideas such as location options, scheduling a time for your session and what to wear and how to prepare for your shoot. There is a contract to sign with a 50% retainer due a the time of signing your contract. For your convenience, I accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, Venmo, Zelle and Paypal Gift.

I personally think you should look your best on the day of your session. Dress a bit nicer than you normally would and try to coordinate a vibe with your significant other. Now that doesn't mean wear matching outfits lol. But you do want to have matching styles so that the two of you look great together. Don't be afraid to go shopping for a new outfit, or splurge on those new pair of kicks. It will pay off in the end.

Absolutely. Generally the two hours leading up to sunset is your most beautiful light of the day. It's golden, it's crisp and makes everyone's skin look nice and tan. That's why I always try to schedule all of my sessions during these magic hours. Trust me, you will thank me later haha.

Sure! I love it when couples get involved in their session. Send me any inspiration you have and I'll be happy to incorporate any of your vibes/ideas/poses into your session.

Of course I do! Since this is my full time career, I've shot all across New Jersey and beyond. This means I know all the unique spots that offer you and your fiance some stunning backdrops. Rest assured, with me you won't be going to any old location.

Within 24-48 hours after your session, your Instagram previews will go up on my page @ryansandsphotography. Within one week of your session date your full gallery of images will be ready for consumption. Just a reminder, all of your beautiful photographs are always high resolution, logo free, fully processed and ready for print. You are free to use your photos however you please. For your convenience, your gallery will be hosted and available to you 24/7 at https://ryansandsphotography.shootproof.com.

My sessions are extremely affordable and I offer tremendous value. Please reach out to me via my Contact Form and I will be happy to send you full pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most photographers only showcase their absolute best images on their website, making it nearly impossible to judge what you'll actually receive from your session—but with me, I encourage you to look behind the curtain and explore these complete, real client galleries so you can see exactly what working with me looks like from start to finish. This transparency gives you the power to truly compare my work against other photographers and make a confident, informed decision about who will capture one of the most important moments of your life.
