Reviews for Heidi Ryder Photography
GUEST




I am completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with the experience I received. The pictures came out even better than I expected and captured all the right moments. Something we will truly treasure forever. Best and most worth it expense of the wedding.

Heidi is absolutely amazing. From the very beginning of my research for a wedding photographer, Heidi was my first choice based on her work alone. I was so relieved that when we met with her, she was as awesome of a person as she is a photographer. And I was extremely excited that she was available to work our wedding day! I knew I wanted great photos for our wedding, but I also knew that we would have to like the person we hired as we would be spending a good part of our day taking pictures.First, I want to say a bit about the nuts and bolts of doing business with Heidi--it was so incredibly easy. Her entire online system is automated and allows for online payment, so it could not have been simpler. Also, Heidi was very accommodating to help us get the services we wanted at a price we could afford. Out of all of the vendors we worked with for our wedding, Heidi's system was definitely the easiest. In addition to her online system, Heidi was always accessible by email and quick to respond, no matter how ridiculous my questions were. I know how busy she is, but she always made me feel like I was her only client, which is a wonderful feeling for any stressed out bride.It is clear from looking at Heidi's portfolio that her work is fantastic. As we learned during our wonderful engagement session (which Heidi traveled to San Diego to take), part of why Heidi's work is so amazing is because of how comfortable she makes her clients. It is a little weird to spend time in front of a camera when you are not used to it, but Heidi does a great job of making you feel comfortable and creating a fun atmosphere. We were so happy with how our engagement photos turned out, several are framed in our house, and we used them to create a photo-guest book for our wedding.Our wedding was just last weekend, and even though we haven't yet seen our pictures, I have no doubt that they will be amazing. We had so much fun with Heidi and Candice during our photos before the ceremony. It was great to have that time to have fun, relax, and get a ton of photos. During the ceremony and reception, it seemed as though Heidi and Candice were everywhere simultaneously (but unobtrusively), capturing every important moment. I can't wait to see how everything turns out.We can't thank Heidi enough for everything she did for us during the planning process and on our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Heidi is amazing! We are so happy with our wedding and engagement photos and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I immediately loved her style from her website. She has a great eye and uses her surroundings incredibly. She also is extremely personable and made my husband (who hates taking pictures) and me very comfortable during both our engagement session and our wedding day. I feel so lucky to have found Heidi and would recommend her to anyone (including future Disney brides!).

I found Heidi through a google search online! We planned everything out via email throughout the year prior to the wedding. Planning was super easy with Heidi because she always got back to me right away and was very helpful! Heidi was meeting us in Las Vegas and we scheduled photography for after the ceremony and a day after shoot at the Neon Museum. For the amount of pictures and coverage she offered, we got such a bargain!!!! Upon meeting Heidi, I was so happy with her! She was easy to get along with, very flexible, and made my fiance and I feel comfortable taking lots of photos. She photographed around our big day and never stopped us or our guests from having fun! She caught all the fun we had in her photos! Within days of returning from our trip, Heidi sent us a link to the gallery! She was super prompt in getting our online gallery up and the pictures were better than I could have imagined! Heidi asked us to choose 30 favorites and we had such a hard time narrowing it down to only 30. The prints we ordered from her are beyond good too! I am so thrilled we had Heidi document our wedding and love for Vegas! She is truly talented!

One of the best decisions we ever made was hiring Heidi to be our photographer! She is sweet, kind, quick to respond, makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and produces great work. Unless you're a model or an actor, who here really is used to having their picture taken professionally? But Heidi makes the process so easy and effortless. We were blown away with the engagement photos and our wedding photos. I'm encouraging all our friends to hire Heidi because I want them to be just as happy with their photos as we are with ours. Having Heidi there capturing our most precious moments is something we'll never ever regret.Heidi, you are my jam, you know that right?!? ;-)




Heidi is absolutely amazing! The minute I saw her work, I couldn't get it out of my head. Both my husband and I loved her use of color, the way she captured a moment, and how natural everything looked. We had an engagement session with her about a month before our wedding and not only did she get some amazing shots, but she was super friendly and made us feel really comfortable. After our engagement session, I was really confident in her to capture our wedding day and I never doubted her! On the wedding day she was on time, professional, and got some awesome pictures! We also got our pictures back super quick, which was amazing :) I couldn't say enough wonderful things about her and would recommend her to other future brides!

After seeing Heidi's work I thought her prices were going to be way out of our price range, but I was thrilled to see that Heidi's prices are extremely reasonable. We are so happy we chose Heidi to be a part of our wedding day. She went above and beyond to provide us with special photos for our day. Our engagement session was equally as fun - Heidi brought so much excitement and energy to our session, and she took extra time out of her day to make sure she got just the right shots. Her work speaks for itself, but her friendly attitude and professionalism is the icing on the (wedding) cake!




Heidi was absolutely amazing. Our engagement photos and wedding photos came out so beautiful. I was impressed at how unique and personal all of her work is, not just the same pose over and over. She was extremely responsive to all emails and made me feel very comfortable.
The album she provided with our package is stunning and we couldn't be happier with all of the work she did for our special day. We ended up with over 1100 photos in our gallery and all of them are fantastic!!! I highly recommend working with her.

I am so glad we found Heidi after a random google search for "comic book wedding invitations". We could not have asked for a more professional, organized, nice, and incredibly talented photographer to capture our wedding! Aside from making us feel at ease in front of the camera and taking over 1,000 gorgeous photos of our wedding, Heidi is very on top of things- I totally appreciate the details like her company branding and presentation and super timely responses to phone calls and emails. Cannot recommend her enough!
GUEST




Heidi was amazing! She worked with us all the way from our engagement photos (where she included personal shots of our cat) to the big day. Not only were he photos beautiful, she makes it very easy to keep up with all the details - from giving you list of what shots you should need to fully digital proofing gallery - she's the best!




Heidi took boudoir photos of me as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. Heidi was so knowledgeable about the shoot. When I felt skeptical about a pose that Heidi had chosen for me, that photo was the one that looked the best. I felt like I was on a photo shoot for Vogue, she was so professional and she thought of everything, poses, props and lighting. I was just amazed and shocked at how awesome Heidi made me look. And the reaction that I got from my boyfriend when he opened it, I never could have imagined. As he was looking through the book tears were running down his face. The moment was absolutely priceless. I can never thank Heidi enough, and this is a gift that my boyfriend will cherish always, and according to him I will NEVER be able to top this gift.

Heidi Ryder is the most amazing photographer ever! She did such a good job putting us at ease and capturing so many beautiful moments of our wedding weekend. When we wanted to head out to the streets of Memphis for a photo session the day after the wedding, she gladly accepted the challenge even though the sun was setting and the crowds weren't cooperating. Heidi bonded with our families and friends, blending into the guest list as if she had known everyone forever. She was easy to reach during the planning phase of the wedding and never let a phone message or e-mail go unreturned. Best of all, Heidi brought her creative and artsy eye to our wedding photos, making them one-of-a-kind.




I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my wedding. I was so pleased with Heidi's professionalism and just awesome talent that I had recommended her to everyone I know!
GUEST




Heidi has been AWESOME in every aspect of our wedding shoot. We LOVED her style and was WOWed by her talent. You can't go wrong with Heidi!




We were on a budget so just hired Heidi to do our ceremony photos. She was amazing and I love the photos she took. She was so professional and discreet - I never noticed when she was taking photos, and that's a good thing! She took beautiful photos and I would reccomend her again and again.
GUEST




It would be difficult to overstate how happy we are with Heidi's photography. They are wonderful photos that capture us how we really are- while still looking beautiful. Heidi was very easy to work with, and amenable to all our requests. Best of all, when great moments were happening at our wedding, I would look up to ask Heidi to capture them- but she was ALWAYS already right there. We couldn't have made a better choice for a photographer.




Heidi captured every single special moment of our wedding. Every time something was happening that I didn't want to get I would look over to find Heidi capturing it with her camera. She seemed to be in a million places at once yet she was never intrusive or in our face. The photos she took at our wedding were breathtaking. I still cry whenever I look at them.
Heidi is a pleasure to work with! She is very professional and her images are gorgeous!
Heidi's photos are A-MAZE-ING!! She and her staff were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good photographer who's not only easy to work with, but also extremely professional. Her personality shows in her photos... They're relaxed, but edgy & O-So Cool! :)
I heart Heidi L. Ryder! She is one of my very favorite photographers to refer clients to because I know without a moment's hesitation that she will do a phenomenal job. Her work is literally breathtaking and as I look through our portfolio of weddings we've coordinated, Heidi's photos always stand out. They're gorgeous! And a resounding plus is that Heidi has a wonderful personality and she's a blast to work with. She's calm, stress-free, professional, sweet, and always fully-engaged in her clients' moments. She obviously loves her job and her clients absolutely love her!
Heidi and I worked together in June at a budget backyard wedding. The bride and groom knew they wanted phenomenal photographs despite a tight budget, so they hired her to capture a few hours' worth of photos. She went above and beyond, capturing stunning shots of the details the bride and I worked so hard on and sending them to me very quickly. Although the bride and groom preferred she not blog images of them or their guests, I did get a chance to see one of the portraits she took - and it was drop-dead gorgeous. I adore Heidi's work. And she was such a joy to work WITH - very communicative and responsive, prompt and incredibly professional but also incredibly friendly. I hope to work with her again soon!
Heidi Ryder is amazing. Her artistic eye combined with her sense of style and pleasant attitude makes her such a pleasure to work with! Would LOVE to work with her again! :) Kudos!
Heidi hired our DJ Jason Jones for her wedding a few years ago, when she was a Bride and not yet photographing weddings full time!Heidi was just getting serious about her Wedding Photography business back then, and we must say, since that time...she has done amazing things with the camera and her business. Heidi is an extremely talented photographer and has a heart and spirit made of gold. You'll love working with her...our DJs absolutely love her. We're very proud of Heidi and all of her accomplishments, you'll be glad you found her among the huge pile of Wedding Photographers in Southern CA. Keep it up Heidi!!
Heidi is fantastic! She's creative, fun, professional and open to all kinds of unique ideas. (Which means a LOT to our clients!) And as an added benefit, she's a true pleasure to work with. Rebel Belle Weddings is proud to endorse Heidi Ryder Photography!
