Ryan Phillips Blog

Check out 500 Photographers, a blog by Pieter Wisse. He has put together an amazing display of photography from all over the world. Beware, this is a total time vampire and you will lose hours looking at all the amazing work.

Great news this morning, we were featured on Style Me Pretty. Not just because of the feature, but because it was one of our favorite brides! Megan and Jason both work for Classic Party Rentals and they are just amazing people. Here is a little note we received from Megan this morning about her feature. Then go check out SMP to see the whole post…

From Megan:

Thank you, Courtney for submitting our wedding. I love style me pretty oh-so-much! Truly, you guys were amazing! You took all my designs & visions and made them come to life. And Ryan, oh Ryan how you captured those magical moments. Stunning. Still makes my heart melt every.single.time I see them.

You guys are fantastic at what you do…and are always top on my list when people ask “who should I use?” Easy answer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you…for making our day truly special.

Xoxoxo,
M.

Thanks to wedding planner extraordinaire Jill LaFluer for getting this posted. If you are getting married and don’t have Jill on your short list of wedding planners, she’s a must have!

It’s not just that it was shot with a still camera, it’s the angles, the moments and some damn steady camera work!

I have been planning to launch a commercial website for a few years now but due to the amount of work involved I have put it off. Enter Big Folio! I can’t even tell you how impressed I am with them. I have been with LiveBooks for close to 5 years now and couldn’t have imagined there could be anything better. Well there is! I had a Big Folio site up and running in a matter of hours. It is amazing how much easier their Admin is than LiveBooks. The BF admin is wicked fast and it’s all drag and drop. Customer service is 5 star!!! I know this sounds like an advertisement for Big Folio but it’s not.  I just love to share products that make a difference for Photographers. Whether you want custom or a template site they have it and will get you up and running quick. Thanks again to the BF team! Get your own Big Folio site here…

Wedding + Portrait site is still in the same place…

Carrie and I recently did our first wedding show ever. It was held at Sunriver, Central Oregon’s premier wedding destination. Bravo did an amazing job putting it all together and the show was a huge success for us. Here are a few snaps of the booth. Carrie and I would like thank Nicole @ Singing Sparrow Flowers for helping make our booth look fantastic! We picked her because we heard she was the best…She did not disappoint. She did an amazing job. If you need a florist in Oregon call her!

Every few weeks I will be featuring some of my favorite vendors. If you need a great Florist, Event Planner, DJ, Band, Lighting, etc. then try the people in my Vendor Highlight posts. If I am featuring them it means I have worked with them many times and recommend them without hesitation. This week it’s Toby of Lilla Bello Studio. She did a fantastic job at Erin and Kevin’s wedding at Trump National. She is easy to get along with and is all about the details. Check out her clients page, if those A-listers trust her than you can too ;-)
