Meet Ryan Clark

With over 16 years of experience as a Virginia wedding photographer, I’ve always been captivated by the power of images to tell meaningful stories. My journey began in a darkroom eventually became a full-time passion—capturing weddings and portraits throughout Southeast Virginia and beyond.

As a Virginia wedding photographer, I specialize in preserving the moments that matter most — from quiet glances to joyful laughter, and everything in between. Because every couple’s story is different, I strive to reflect that uniqueness through timeless, emotive photography.

While some moments are posed, the magic often lives in the in-between. That’s why I focus on genuine emotion and honest connection, not just pretty pictures. In addition to capturing the highlights, I pay attention to the subtleties—the gentle hand squeezes, stolen looks, and spontaneous laughter.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, I’m here to help document it all with care and intention. So, if you’re searching for a Virginia wedding photographer who blends storytelling with elegance, I’d love to connect.

Engagement

Engagement sessions are the perfect way to celebrate your love before the big day. Not only do they create beautiful photos, but they also give us a chance to connect and get comfortable before your wedding. Together, we’ll capture meaningful moments that reflect your relationship and the excitement leading up to your celebration.

Getting Ready

The moments before the ceremony are often filled with emotion and anticipation. While you’re surrounded by close friends and family, I document the small details—like the bride’s dress, the groom’s tie, or a quiet hug from Mom. These behind-the-scenes moments help tell the full story of your day.
