Ryan Taking Photos

Ryan Taking Photos The Photographer for people who hate getting their photo taken. My best work is almost always a result of capturing moments that would otherwise pass us by.

I hope you've guessed it by now, but my name is Ryan and I to capture images of people that make them feel gooey inside, in exchange for money! Dabbling in photography since halfway through University in 2016 (I'm a nurse by trade), I have decided to see if I can make other people smile with my images. In other words, my family are bored to tears of me and my camera and I am seeking new subjects

Ironically, I despise getting my photo taken, and I expect there are many, many others out there like me. I prefer to not make you pose, feel awkward or, actually, feel like you are getting your photo taken at all. I am an introvert at heart, which I channel into my workflow by letting moments happen naturally, rather than imposing and making them feel artificial. But, if the moment calls for it, I can do something a little more flashy. Whether it be something as simple as a walk with family, formal occasions such as weddings, or something in between, I like to just let you do your own thing whilst I tag along and transform those moments into images that will simply make you grin. Feel free to contact me with any enquiries. No question is a stupid question and I would love to hear from you!

Murron + Connor

20th of June 2026

I will not forget the constant belly laughing of Murron and Connors' ceremony. They continued this theme for the rest of the day and it was a wonderful soundtrack. Their dog Zaggy gets a special. Mention as the ring bearer and mascot. Despite all the planning and thought that very obviously went into the day, it all came off as effortless and made my job simple.

Sarah + Beth

18th June 2026

Beth and Sarah got officially married the day before but wanted to have a reception with all their friends and family present to celebrate their nuptials. And they did it in absolute style. Canvas is a beautiful, modern venue situated in the heart of Dundee and was the perfect choice. And you could tell very simply by the fact that neither bride sat down for even a second that there was plenty of love to go around for these two.

Sarah and Liam

30th of May 2026

These two were exactly my kind of vibe. Sarah was very calmly stressed, but exceptionally organised, and Liam is perhaps the most relaxed groom I've ever met - if he was anxious, I had zero clue. They chose their friend Des to be their celebrant and Sarah's sister was their florist. Lots of little personal touches throughout made their wedding very much a "them" kind of thing and I like that I'm seeing more of that and less "traditional" tropes. It was 👌.

Stacey + Chris

30/12/25

This couple were very much my vibe. Very chill despite all the pressures that come with a wedding day, and the weather played a blinder for them too at Forbes of Kingennie Country Resort. They both took my EXTREMELY MINIMAL guidance to create some beautiful images during their brief little couples shoot and the results speak for themselves. A brilliant way for me to round out a fantastic 2025.

Oh hi.....I'm back!

I've taken the first three months off from my little side hustle. The winter months tend to be quieter so I thought I'd catch up on the other aspects of my life that I neglect during wedding season. In addition to capturing weddings, I also work full time at my day job - yes, I am mad.

I've also got two kids who are at the age where they've developed some sense of what not to do in order to stay alive but aren't yet fully able to convince me that they won't do something inexplicably deranged and cause a house fire.

And I have been busy attempting to renovate my house which I stupidly bought with the best intentions but was blind to how many unnecessary holes the previous owner left and covered up with newspaper balls.

So yeah, normal service now resuming ......

Dom + Emily

6th of December 2025

I gush with pride every time I see these images.

Dom and Emily are a very chill couple who wanted all the important bits captured from their wedding but didn't want it to become a photoshoot. So they hired me! Every single guest on the day was effervescing with subtle joy watching these two tie the knot and this was one of those weddings where you don't really feel like a hired employee, you feel like a guest.

The two are from down south but Crail is a special place to them so they decided "Why not just get married here?". The local residents were full of compliments for the couple during their mini shoot at the town harbour, which is always a pleasure to witness.

These two deserve ALL the praise!
