You’ll feel calm, seen, and fully supported. This is photography that doesn’t demand you pose. It invites you to exist. You’ll feel at ease knowing you’re being cared for by someone who values empathy just as much as artistry. From our first call to your final gallery, my focus is protecting your peace while creating images that make your story feel eternal.

Imagine a moment suspended in light. Your partner’s hand in yours, the quiet exhale before the vows, laughter echoing off the walls of forever.

At Hidden Flame, I don’t just take photographs. I witness you. Your wedding isn’t a performance. It’s a tapestry of tenderness, adrenaline, stillness, and spark.

I'm here to honor that, with imagery that understands you , even before a word is spoken.

I Don’t Just Capture Your Love, I Preserve Its Flame

learn more about me

I’m Ryan—a writer, former Navy Corpsman, and photographer who believes love is art and life is fleeting. My camera is my way of slowing the world down, of noticing the quiet moments that might otherwise pass unseen - the way your partner looks at you when no one’s watching, or how joy trembles in your chest right before a vow.

I photograph to honor what’s real and lasting, to give you images that feel like memory and proof all at once. If you’re looking for someone who sees beyond the surface, who will treat your story as something sacred, you’re in the right place.

Writer, Witness, Photographer of the Quiet Beautiful

Hidden Flame:
Present. Empathetic. Soulful. Quietly Observant.

Emma

Ryan took the time to truly get to know us, and it changed everything about the experience. He made the day feel effortless, personal, and fun, and we trusted him completely to capture the moments that mattered. The photos are stunning, filled with his care and attention to detail—we couldn’t be happier. We’ll cherish these images, and the experience of working with him, for years to come.

Kind Words

"Within an hour, we knew we were working with a friend—a very talented friend we could trust completely."
