Events By Heather & Ryan

I can’t say enough about Heather and Tiffany. This is my second experience working with Heather and both experiences were beyond amazing. She fit in like one of the family. She listened to my needs/wants and made sure I got them. She’s professional yet can blend in with the crowd. FIU! See you in Cali! More...

I recommend Heather and Ryan to anyone looking for wedding photographers! In addition to taking excellent, vibrant photos, they were incredibly kind, funny, and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us make the wedding run smoothly.

I could not be happier with the photos they took! Not only did they have great suggestions for group shots and poses, but they captured so many beautiful candid moments. Their photos are all bright, colorful, and lively. And their turnaround timing is amazing! They sent us 20+ edited “preview” photos less than two days after the wedding, and just recently sent us all completed photos, less than a month after the wedding! We did have a relatively small, short wedding, but that was so much sooner than I expected to have them!

Heather and Ryan are also just AWESOME people! They are so calm and professional, but also very funny, warm, and wonderful to be around! They graciously offered to help us anytime they saw we needed assistance. My mom definitely appreciated Heather helping her bustle my extremely poofy dress! They also managed the time we scheduled for photos very well. We never felt rushed, and they made sure they captured every moment that we wanted before they left.

We are so happy that Heather and Ryan were a part of our wedding. They were the perfect photographers, and excellent company! I would love to work with them again, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. More...

This review is long overdue, as our wedding was 7 months ago, but Heather and Ryan did an amazing job photographing our wedding day and engagement photos! They were super friendly and easy to work with. At several points, it felt like they were buddies of ours who just happened to be taking great photos of us. I felt really comfortable with them, and Heather even helped defuse a potential snafu with my bustle during the reception-- I'm still so grateful for that! Turnaround time is super quick, the photos are great quality, and on top of it all the pricing was way more reasonable than other vendors we were looking at. So, if you want a fantastic experience, amazing photos, and lots of fun and laughter at a great price, choose Heather & Ryan for your wedding photographers! More...

I have had the honor of knowing Heather and Ryan for over twenty years. Together they are a dynamic team! Watching these two work in tandem is a treat! Even with our family of 7 they have managed to capture the true personalities of each person, which is no small feat! There is no doubt in my mind we will continue to use these two far into the future! More...

We are so lucky to have found Heather and Ryan as our wedding day photographers. From my meeting with them to our engagement photo session to our wedding day, they were fun, yet professional and were always quick to respond to any correspondence I sent to them. Heather was AMAZING at keeping me calm throughout my wedding day and made sure I was taken care of on my special day. Ryan is hilarious and made me feel relaxed and comfortable as well.
They are VERY organized and prompt and even though they run a VERY popular business, they made time to make my hubby and I feel like a king and queen on our day. I just received my sneak peeks and they are PERFECT. They really captured our personality and essence as a couple. They also meshed amazingly well with my family and friends who attended. What made the day even more special is that we will ALWAYS share our anniversary with them. If you choose the AMAZING duo for your wedding photos, you definitely won't regret it !!! More...

I’m so incredibly happy with our decision to go with Heather and Ryan. Our photography was probably the most important aspect of the wedding to me and the thing I was going to be most picky about, and I am so beyond happy thrilled with the outcome. For starters, communication was good the whole time, from booking them last year to setting up our engagement shoot months later and preparing all the last minute details for the wedding. Heather was awesome on our engagement shoot. We wanted snow pictures up the mountain and we were walking all over; through the woods then over walls and through creeks to climb down to the river and she was down for anything. We just received all of our wedding pictures and Oh. My. God. There is literally not one moment they did not capture. It was actually emotional looking through all of them as the day went by so fast in such a blur so looking through so many pictures of the entire day felt like I got to relive it and really soak in everything that happened. I mentioned to Heather before that my favorite kind of pictures were candid shots, especially during the reception and some of the candid moments she captured really tugged at my heartstrings. If we did it all again I would hire Heather and Ryan again every time. Absolutely 110% worth it and we have the photos we’ve dreamed of that we can hold onto and love to look back on forever.

From the day I met Heather, I was in love with her and knew her and her husband would be the perfect duo to hire as photographers for my wedding. Heather and Ryan were amazing throughout the entire process. They did our engagement shoot for us. They suggested places around the city that I hadn't even thought of, and were super flexible when the unpredictable Seattle rain got in our way. Even though we got caught in a rain storm, they are pure professionals, worked around it, and got the job done. We had such a good time. I was so in love with our engagement shoot!

The day of, they were punctual, on time, and got right to work snapping pictures of my family as we got ready. They made the whole process go smoothly, and always seemed one step ahead of everything. I honestly don't think I would have made it through the day without Heather by my side coaching me (with a few laughs along the way). I was so comfortable with Heather and Ryan that I forgot that they were taking pictures the entire day.

When I received my photos, I was in love with all of them! Seriously. They were everything I was hoping for and more. Heather and Ryan captured literally every moment of the entire day. The great thing about them is they edit your photos, and give you every single picture so that you are the ones who can decide which photos you like the best, not leave it up to their discretion. I think I got over 2,000 photos back. It was so much fun to relive those moments and is so special to know that I have all of those memories to keep forever. My entire family was so happy with all of the photos. Everyone keeps commenting on "They did such a great job! These are such great photos!". They made us look good, feel good, and capture precise moments that mean the most to us. I am 100% so happy with the work, and friendship, they provided! More...

Love love love these guys. They are very flexible and outgoing. Made all of my crazy groomsmen pay attention in pictures and helped make the wedding flow with the DJ. Helped me with things that were not even their job such when my dress ripped or got me a drink with my dinner and carried my plate to the table so I didn't step on my dress. I called the day before and asked about a photo booth and they said sure no problem. They are very helpful and go with the flow people. Loved working with them and can't wait to get family photos with them soon. More...

Absolutely the best vendor we had at our wedding. We hired a number of vendors for our wedding this past month. It seemed like there was an issue with every one of them, whether it be the cake topper was missing, the menu for the meal was incorrect to the wrong flowers, Events by Heather & Ryan were the only ones who got it all right. They showed up on time and even stayed beyond the time they were supposed to. We highly recommend them. More...

My husband and I hired Heather and Ryan to photograph our wedding in September 2016 and we couldn't be happier with the results. We felt an immediate rapport with them when we first met over coffee, and we decided to follow our instincts and book their services. They did a tremendous job shooting the usual post-ceremony photos, and the quality of the final photos certainly exceeded our expectations. But what we really appreciate is that they took the time to interact with our guests and take lovely candid shots. We hoped they would feel comfortable enough to be part of the day instead of just observing it, thinking that would lend itself to a wider variety and better quality of shots -- and that's exactly what happened. It was almost overwhelming how many great shots we had to choose from -- constructing an album turned out to be challenging because we wanted to include more photos than we had room for. Not a bad problem to have! We're happy to recommend Heather and Ryan based on the excellent experience we had with them. They didn't just take our pictures, they took care of us. More...

Heather and Ryan were wonderful to work with and the photos were amazing. We cannot say enough good about great our photos turned out. They were easy to work with, responsive and captured everything we wanted and more. Heather was wonderful on the day of the wedding, with running the show, getting all the photos we requested, checking in with me to make sure I was okay, making people laugh. We got so many compliments from our bridal party and friends about them. I cannot recommend them enough. Hire them! More...

Heather and Ryan are great! Granted we haven't gotten married yet, just our engagement photos. But I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that everything will be perfect.
My fiance and I were nervous about our engagement shoot at first because we don't really know how to act when people are taking pictures of us.

Heather and Ryan are wonderful to work with! Being a student, living on the opposite side of the state, and having a horribly crazy schedule is making planning a wedding crazy, but these two are amazing and so flexible. I feel so comfortable working with them since they have done so many weddings and seem to care about the couples they work with. I would suggest them to anyone that wants a steady and dependable person there that is professional and has a great artistic eye! More...

We used Heather & Ryan for our wedding photographers. We had a very early morning ceremony, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get all of the photos I wanted before (first look, wedding party, family). Heather & Ryan did a really great job of getting all the photos I wanted, while still staying on schedule! During the reception, our guests commented on how fun Heather & Ryan were, and how they can't wait to see all of the photos from our wedding day. Heather & Ryan are a great value for a wedding photographer. You get two shooters for a very, very reasonable price, and you will be thrilled with how amazing their photos look! More...

Finding a photographer for your wedding is probably one of the hardest decisions. My husband and I met Heather and Ryan at a nearby Starbucks and instantly felt that great connection! When it came time for our engagement pictures, Heather made us feel totally comfortable and let us just be us! For our wedding yesterday, Heather and Ryan went above and beyond for us. Not only were the pictures fun and I'm sure beautiful, Heather was there to help my mother bustle my dress! They also were there to console us when a elder family member had an emergency and always made sure that we were doing well. To top it off, Ryan even drove us to our hotel after our grand exit. I cannot say enough how wonderful these two are and I highly recommend them to everyone, you will not be dissapointed! I will be using them again for maternity and baby pictures when the time comes :) More...

“For me choosing a wedding photographer was the second most important thing to do once we got engaged. As a photographer myself, this was by far the hardest decision we made. I wanted someone who my fiance was comfortable with as well. When we met with Heather, we both felt so comfortable with her, I loved what the packages had to offer & we both really loved the option of the photo booth!! We are so so pleased with the service we received with both Heather & Ryan over the past year. We did an engagement session, I did a boudoir session as a surprise for my husband to be, they felt with me as a picky person. But the wedding day by far was amazing.

Heather & Ryan are fantastic. I hired them for our wedding. We had a small wedding with just a few of our friends and close family. Well, I'll just say they fit right in. Heather has a personality that will mesh with anybody and Ryan...let's just say he knows his stuff. He's kind of a perfectionist behind the camera yet very approachable when you ask him a question. Our 12 year old nephew is trying to get into photography and Ryan kind of took him under his wing for the night and taught him a few things. The two of them together are a powerful combination. The pictures came out fantastic and their delivery was super quick. A blog the next day and pictures a week later, nicely categorized. My husband and I highly recommend them not only because they do great work, but at the end of the day they grow on you and they become like family. More...

I loved working with Heather and Ryan. The value for what you get is just what we needed and for two photographers on our wedding day - totally worth it. Heather even did our engagement shoot which turned out great. I knew from the moment I met her that we were going to select Events by Heather & Ryan (formerly HR Northwest Photography). I felt so comfortable knowing that our photographs would be in their hands. When I received the edits from our wedding, they were perfect. There were only a couple of shots that we didn't get, which was my fault for not providing a shot list - but I am more than happy with the shots we did get. Even though Heather was not able to make it to our wedding, they still provided a second photographer who was just as fun to work with.

We absolutely could not have been happier with Heather and Ryan. They made our day perfect! They not only took some of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen, they helped to make our wedding day go smoothly. Heather helped with getting ready processes and gave advice on things I never would have thought of (such as deodorant on inner thighs!) and was the only person who could figure out how to bustle my dress after the ceremony! They took their time in making sure that all the pictures had the perfect lighting, shadows etc. They even posted a morning blog on your Facebook page with around 20 of their favorite photos, which we thought was really unique, and was a fun thing to look at for the morning after the wedding. We got all our pictures back within a week after the wedding (way sooner than we expected considering there were thousands of them!). We even rented a photo booth from them which was a huge hit at the wedding with our guests.

Ryan got the flu on our wedding day but Ivy stepped up and filled in right away and she and Heather were AMAZING!!!!! They were so fun, so funny, and so good with our young ring bearer. They both had a way of completely relaxing me on my wedding day. They thought of creative/out of the box shots, they got all the classic formal shots, and they provided an awesome photo booth! They stayed until the very end and got every moment. Also, Heather was more than just our photographer, she was willing to do anything that needed to be done. She assisted my mom at the church before the ceremony when the staff at the church were MIA. When it was time to bustle my dress, she got right to it and figured out my complicated bustle. I got MULTIPLE comments throughout the night about how awesome our photographers were. "Where did you find them? They are awesome!" and "your photographers are so much fun!"
And talk about fast! We got a sneak peak of our shots the day after our wedding and then all of the rest of the shots came a week later!!

Having found Heather and HR Northwest Photography was one of the best things that could have ever happened to my husband Kevin and I. She and her incredible friend Ivy flew all the way to Boston this past October to photograph our wedding and I simply cannot imagine our day and weekend, without them there. Heather's professionalism, honesty, work ethic, love of what she does and incredible work product helped to make that part of the wedding planning process fun and easy. Our numerous phone conversations and emails made me feel as though we really chose an amazing photographer for our big day and that certainly was the case. From my first ever Boudoir session on Friday night to kick off the wedding weekend, to our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on Saturday night, to our spectacular wedding day on Sunday, Heather was there to capture every moment perfectly and for that I will be forever grateful to her. Her happy go lucky personality and love of her work just draw you in an make you laugh and smile and just be so happy to be with her. She also was able to switch hats many times with ease and help us get our wedding party organized during the rehearsal and even drove Kevin and I to our reception when we had some car difficulties during a stop to take some pictures after the ceremony. That caused for a few panicked bride moments to say the least but Heather was there every step of the way helping with her expertise and truly put me at ease. I would 110+% recommend Heather as your photographer of choice for any and every important and special moment of your life. She is a tremendously talented, beautiful, funny and professional photographer and now someone who I can call a friend. Our wedding and wedding weekend pictures came out better than I could have ever dreamed!

After researching for wedding photographers online and seeing reviews I came across HR northwest photography, and boy was I lucky! Heather is not only professional and creative, she is patient and kind. She worked with my 2 year old daughter and that definitely takes patience. My favorite part of the night was when she took the time to stop what she was doing to go dance with my daughter to the music on the streets. So compassionate!
