     My wife and I eloped in Chicago from Nashville in December 2024. Thanks to Rya, our love was captured beautifully, and we have gorgeous photos to look back on for years to come. They were so kind and patient waiting with us at City Hall. They’re honestly such a cool human, and I hope we get to run into each other in the future!

Every couple has a story, let’s celebrate yours!

Hey, I’m Ry, fine art photographer and wedding & elopement documentarian. Also your new favorite queer, neurodivergent, extroverted introvert with a whimsical & silly side!



I know this may sound silly and corny, but I love love. I am a hopeless romantic; I cherish shared connections and shared experience. I still cry over heartfelt vows or a perfectly choreographed first dance. I never grow tired of the sheer joy couples feel at seeing each other in their wedding attire for the first time. I am honored and privileged to experience and document these wonderful moments. I photograph for the couples who love freely, authentically, and unapologetically, as who they are.
