About Swanson Photography
Swanson Photography
Weddings go by fast — we make sure you don’t miss a thing. We’re Ryan and Rachael, a husband-and-wife team capturing the real, unscripted moments that make your day yours. Our approach is relaxed, fun, and focused on letting you be present while we quietly document the laughter, the tears, and everything in between. When you look back at your photos, we want you to feel your day all over again.
We blend vibrant, cinematic style with a documentary approach, so your photos feel alive — never stiff or staged. As a husband-and-wife team, we work seamlessly to catch every angle and moment without pulling you away from your celebration. Couples tell us it feels like having friends there with cameras, not vendors directing the day.
