Ryan Zarichnak Photography

Tell me a little bit about your business!

Wedding photography is a pretty special gig. As the guy behind Ryan Zarichnak Photography, I get to be a part of one of the most important and intimate days in a couple’s life. All of the happy tears, all of the emotions, and all of the dance moves enhanced by liquid courage. It has always been my desire to keep this wedding photography thing real as heck. When I say “honest photography” throughout my website, I mean it; I’m not into faking things. Every wedding day is unique and deserves photographs that will capture the vibe of your day. I want to get to know your friends and family so that they feel comfortable in front of the camera. People are pretty dang awesome and getting to know so many unique souls is why I love this so much.

What makes your work unique?

It is my hope that my personality is what sets me apart and makes me unique. I genuinely care about folks and love getting to know them and their stories. I want to sit down with you and grab a coffee or beer to listen and find out what you are all about. That translates into honest conversation and the ability for you to feel more comfortable during a photo session. When that happens, you get the best emotions, smiles, and laughter.

I hate being a salesmen so I don’t want to belabor the point of why you should hire me. But I will say when you first go to my website I want you to immediately connect with my work.  That’s why we are here, right? To get some awesome photos. But for me it goes beyond delivering great imagery. After all, wedding photography is an extremely personal business and you should feel comfortable in front of the camera. I get invited to one of the most intimate days of a couple’s life. For them to share that with me is something I consider to be pretty special. So if you are searching for a great experience and not just a photographer I would love to chat.

What is your ideal client like?

This is an important question. It’s the people that make this business amazing. Being able to connect with clients is the most important part about this job for me. I love working with couples that care deeply about their photos. I want them to hire a photographer because they want a great experience, not just great photos. My couples are usually down to do anything. I ask people to climb in weird places, ford creeks, and trust me to do my thing. I love travel, food, beer, all things outdoors, and so many other things that there is not enough space here. That’s why I like chatting with you. I get to see what interests we share. To sum it up: if you are a genuine person, you are my type of client.

What is your approach to photography?

My style is photojournalistic and natural. I don’t want to fake anything on your wedding day. My goal is to capture it as it unfolds. Every wedding day is completely different, which is what makes each one so special. I believe it is my goal to capture that uniqueness through my creative eye.

Rave Reviews

I cannot say enough positive things about Ryan. We spent SO much time researching documentary-style photographers in Pittsburgh and Ryan is that but so much more. Not only are his images stunning, his vibe is the best! He lets your personality guide the photos, which creates the best images ever. He is SO kind, funny, and go with the flow, and made taking family portraits FUN. I asked my husband who ‘our best' vendor was, and he didn't hesitate: Ryan!

Heather & Andy June 22, 2019

Thank goodness for Ryan! It rained non-stop the weekend of our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside on our family farm, but that didn't happen and I was devastated. Ryan, out of the goodness of his heart, offered to come back to the farm later and take sunny day portraits with us! He went above and beyond that day to get amazing shots even in the type of conditions we were dealing with! We are so grateful to Ryan and will cherish our memories forever!

Paula & Zach September 8, 2018

We were so blown away by how beautiful our wedding photos turned out! Ryan not only takes quality photos, but he captures the emotions and feelings of the day. You can practically hear my husband laughing in some of the photos, and the photos of my dad and I seeing each other for the first time at the wedding bring me to tears. Ryan is professional, nice, calming, and fun to be around. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to book a photographer for their wedding.
