Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles, Orange County, Southern California

Welcome to theBlog

7.6.09 ... I moved back into Southern California over the 4th of July weekend. It was a tough move but it's good to be back. My business, Del Ryder Photography, provided wedding photography services from Huntington Beach from 1986 to 2005. In 2005 I opened for business and operated an art gallery in the Tower District of Fresno, California. Our gallery openings were amazing and attracted 300 to 400 people for each new exhibit. I also photographed weddings in Fresno, the resorts in the Sierra Nevada range from Yosemite to Sequoia National Park and the San francisco Bay area from San Jose to to San Rafael. I managed to do this while half my weddings were scheduled in Southern California. It has been busy and at times I would even say its been hectic but all in all its been a very exciting four years. My plans now are to finish up the weddings I have on the books up north and focus on the Southern California region again from my home in Huntington Beach to the Inland Empire and Riverside, California areas.

I am meeting with wedding consultants and wedding professionals in the area. It's going to be a big job and will keep me busy most of the summer. As always my clients are my number one priority so call me anytime. I'd love to talk with you about your wedding plans.

Update: I have a new number: 760.900.5556.
