the Scenes:
Del Ryder, a creative image maker and award winning professional
wedding photographer in Fresno, Central Coast, and Southern California,
Visalia, Huntington Beach, opened for business in Fresno, California
in August 2005. He is one of the key photographers who popularized
the wedding photojournalist style on the west coast in the mid 1990's.
Del successfully blended his experience in fashion and fine art
photography into wedding photojournalism to create a unique "on
the fly" style that captures the beauty of life on the move.
His work has consistently exceeded the highest expectations of his
clients and has been published nationally in several magazine feature
articles, art journals, and photographic books. Del personally photographs
all events and does not send "associate photographers"
to weddings. To ensure the best coverage for his clients he is always
accompanied by an assistant. Anticipating the move to Fresno, Del
started booking weddings in early 2005 for Fresno, Clovis, Visalia
and the Central Valley. In the Fresno area, Del is referred by many
highly regarded venues including the Copper River Country Club,
the Belmont Country Club, the Piccadilly Inn-University, the Pines
Resort- Bass Lake, the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center and

and Northern California for weddings and is a highly referred wedding
photographer throughout California. As a Professional Wedding Photographer,

Wedding
Anticipation: When planning the wedding day the bride
and groom often consult with important wedding resources to help
calm nerves and ensure
that the big event will unfold as planned. Having a great make
up artist and hair stylist
arrive at the hotel or bride's home before the wedding or relaxing
in a hot sauna before putting
on the bridal gown are some of those planning efforts to make
for great pictures. The photographer offers some helpful tips: Wear
comfortable shoes on your wedding day. Fashionable
bridal shoes do not have to be uncomfortable! Make sure you
eat a light snack before
walking down the aisle. For more information on how to prepare for
the big day, visit the our page of helpful hints written by the
photographer, Del Ryder. As a professional documentary and photojournalistic
wedding photographer, Del has photographed over 800
wedding ceremonies throughout Central Coast, Southern and Northern
California, Bass Lake, Fresno, Yosemite and Sacramento and Fresno
County areas resulting in outstanding pictures for the bride and
groom. The most important message the photographer gives to all
his brides and grooms is this: Have
Fun on Your Wedding Day!!!

Wedding
Guys: In
Central California, the Central Coast and Fresno, photos of the
groom, the best man,the ring bearers, the groomsmen and wedding
ushers are one of the wedding photographer's favorite aspects of
the wedding day photographic event. Photographic portrait opportunities
before the marriage ceremony for the groom often include pictures
of thoughtful reflection,
photos of the groom with
his best man and with good friends and often photographic moments
of the groom with his father. The wedding photographer tries
to capture the groom with
his best man in a carefree photojournalist style of pictures
as well as traditional wedding photos of the little
guys or ring bearers. Well
behaved groomsmen can often be photographed at the alter during
the ceremony. After the wedding ceremony, the men, or as we like
to say at Del Ryder Photography, The Wedding Guys... like
to kick back, blow off
some steam and have some
fun with the bride and groom and bridesmaids
or women in the wedding party.
- Wedding
Munchkins: Flower
girls, ring bearers,
junior bridesmaids, junior grooms men, the little ones or as we
like to call them, Munchkins at Del Ryder Photography
add heart warming photographs
and pictures to the complete wedding story for the newly married
couple. Often the flower girl is related to the bride or groom as
a niece or the ring-bearer as a nephew. These cute
and special photographic portraits captured on the wedding
day in Fresno, Bass Lake, Yosemite, San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento
County and Centra, and Southern California will be cherished by
your parents, moms and dads, sisters and brothers, and best
friends of the bride and groom. While often difficult to pin
down for a group photo, the photographers at Del Ryder Photography
are well trained in their
skills of photojournalism and documentary style of fast acting
clicks of the camera shutter
to capture a picture of a Munchkin on film. As you begin to
select your wedding party, remember that the photographers at Del
Ryder Photography have years of experience photographing these fast
moving little ones... ringbearers and flowergirls.
Keep in mind, however, that sometimes, the photographer does manage
to get a lucky break in which case a little one will actually
pose for a quick photo!!!

Couples: The professional Central Valley California
and Fresno, Visalia, Clovis, wedding photographers at Del Ryder
Photography have photographed over 800 romantic
weddings in Fresno County, San Diego, Central California, Fresno,
and throughout the United States. Over the photographic years, it
has become obvious to the photographer that brides and grooms from
Fresno to Bass Lake and couples from Clovis to Visalia and Yosemite
and Central Coast to Southern California have one thing in common
on their wedding day; the
desire to capture pictures of romance, love,
friendship, fun
and individuality. Whether photographed at the beach, the wedding
reception, the church, or in the ocean
surf, Central Valley California couples have been pleased with
their final black and
white or color photography picture albums.
- Wedding
Party: The members of the wedding party are chosen
by the bride and groom to
support them throughout the planning process as well as on their
most important day, the wedding day. In addition, the bridesmaids
and groomsmen add
fun and party spirit
to the event particularly in pictures after the wedding vows.
The photographer encourages the bride and groom to select a location
to photograph the wedding party in traditional group shots, candid
playful photojournalistic photographs, or documentary photos.
Photos that catch the wedding party in Central, Southern California
scenes such as helping the bride to arrange
her wedding gown train, running
through the ocean surf, the men
hoisting the bride up on the groom's surfboard, or just
fooling around with the women during group photos or at the
wedding reception
, all add to the excitement
of the day shown in the newly married couple's portraits and
wedding album.
- Wedding
Faces: Wedding portraiture or photos often results
in some of the most cherished photographs or images captured throughout
the wedding day. Photographing
the expressions of people
involved in this special day takes precise photo skill, reliable
and current photographic cameras and lighting equipment, and the
ability to be in the right place at the right time to take the pictures.
Never in any other time in a bride's life does she look
as beautiful as she will on her wedding day. Some brides choose
to have a make-up artist work with them before the wedding day,
while other brides prefer the natural look in photographs. It's
really up to each individual bride and what she is most comfortable
with and how she would like to appear in her wedding pictures. A
skilled photographer uses light, opportunity, and a creative eye
to capture emotions on film such as those of love,
friendship, devotion,
and pure joy. Using well
honed skills of photojournalism,
magazine and fashion portraiture, and special lighting photo techniques,
the pictures produced on your wedding by Del Ryder Photography will
always capture this up close and personal look without
infringing on your important day.
- Wedding
Reception: Del Ryder Photography
working throughout Central Valley California and Fresno County will
focus their attention at the reception on capturing
unique images and pictures that detail the celebration for the
newly married couple. Using skills of photojournalism
and editorial photography, he is able to show pictures of the
fun and excitement that always takes place at this time. Whether
the bride and groom chose a restaurant, a hotel, or an open
arena for their celebration, people invited to the wedding always
have fun! Important
photos to capture may include pictures
of the cocktail reception, pictures of the toast, pictures
of the table arrangement, pictures
of the bride dancing with her father, pictures
of the bride dancing, pictures of the bride and groom having
fun, and photographs that document the party atmosphere. If the
opportunity presents itself, the photographer tries to include pictures
of the entire reception in an overview
photograph.
- Wedding
Details:. The details of any wedding are often overlooked
due to the frenzied atmosphere in the planning and arrangements
that must take place to host a wedding. When our wedding couples
step back and notice the detailed images and pictures that Del Ryder
was able to capture on their wedding day they are thankful that
these special photographs
were captured for their wedding photo album. More importantly,
the details become a large part of the overall atmosphere of the
wedding and help set the
mood for the day. Del Ryder Photography is a master at showing
the details in pictures of this important day in his exquisite fine
art photography, photographing the
gown, gloves, and wedding
shoes or special arrangements
selected by the bride
and groom as important and significant to the beauty of their day.
At the reception the photographer photographs details that may include
pictures of the formal table setting, photos of floral centerpieces,
pictures of the wedding
cake and any other appointments
special to their wedding day.
