    Highly Recommend

    Friendly, down to earth, and reasonable.
    Not only did McMillan Photography work with our budget to help us get everything we could but the husband and wife team were people we were pleased to have at our wedding.

    McMillan Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Aly! I loved working with both of you and wish you so much happiness. I know it wasn't Vegas but your family property was really special and beautiful. Keep in touch :)

    Amazing and super accommodating!

    Ryan was amazing to work with! He was super great with all the ups and downs and chain changes that came with a Covid wedding 😂 His work was amazing! He made our photos from a dreadfully windy day look completely stunning! Would definitely recommend to any bride ☺️

    McMillan Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Nikolette! It was a windy day but you and Porter were great to work with. I wish you too so much happiness and a lifetime of love. Keep in touch 😀.

    Wonderful experience!

    I loved McMillan Photography's work!! He was able to capture what that day
    meant to me in each photo with creativity and style. He has the gift and
    you will feel like family by the end!
    Even with the wedding being planned in 4 months, McMillan Photographer met
    the demands and rose to the occasion. Ryan was flexible and professional.
    You wouldn't regret booking him to take photos of your special day. It was
    the best experience!

    McMillan Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Sally for the kind words!! It was great to meet you and Josh and I wish you two all the best. Keep in touch!!

    Fantastic, Easy Going

    We hired Ryan for our wedding this past May and he was absolutely amazing! He was so easy going and a dream to work with. He was very knowledgeable on good places to go for photos, was able to have fun with us, and made the day run very smoothly. We had a traditional Scottish wedding and Ryan was able to immortalize all of those traditions in our photos. We loved working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    McMillan Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Rachel! Your wedding was beautiful, the Scottish elements were thoughtful and it was such a joy to capture the day for you and Andrew. I enjoyed getting to know you both and I found myself smiling behind my cameral often as I witnessed your love for each other. I wish you both the very best. Keep in touch :)

    Professional, friendly, creative, great value

    Ryan was professional and easy to work with.
    He was great with our family, very flexible and friendly. He captured so many wonderful moments. Great value as well.
    We are very happy with our photos, highly recommend.

    McMillan Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Maria and James. Even with a little bit of rain your joy in the moment and love for each other won the day. I had so much fun covering your wedding and found myself smiling as I watched you two interact. It was an honour to be present, I wish you both (and your family) all the best. Keep in touch :)

    Amazing professional photographer!!!

    Highly recommend Ryan for his services! Our pictures turned out AMAZING, he captured all of the important moments from our wedding. We get tons of compliments from our wedding pictures on how beautiful they are from family and friends. Ryan was extremely accommodating given that we had to plan our wedding 3 times due to COVID-19. He was very understanding and willing to travel 500+ km from our original venue.

    McMillan Photography's reply:

    Hi Anna and Devin,
    Thank you so much for the kind words! I know it was hard/heartbreaking to plan a wedding and then re-plan again during covid, but you did such an amazing job. We were all in it together and I was just so happy to be there for you both and see it come together. I wish you both a lifetime and more of happiness together. Keep in touch :)

    Absolutely amazing

    Ryan and his team were so amazing! We were able to pick our location, he worked with us on our photo package to make sure it fit our needs and we can’t be happier with the pictures we have. Thank you so much Ryan!

Ryan McMillan
Ryan McMillan
Owner/Photographer

My name is Ryan McMillan and I am a professional photographer based in the Calgary area. Born and raised in Calgary I love the mountains, hanging out with my family, going on mini adventures and taking pictures of my children. Did I mention my love of coffee, catching the first sight of hot air balloons in late summer, Christmas (Like the whole thing) and coffee? I have lived here my whole life and I am still discovering new things that I love about Southern Alberta.Photography has been a part of my life for a long time and is something that I find great joy in. I believe that creating art is a process of exploring the authentic connections people share, staying curious in the moment, and pursuing beauty in each setting. I love working with people and capturing the moments that help tell their stories. These stories are unique and they matter! Whether this is your story of starting a new life together or as a growing family it needs to be captured so it can be told and treasured. My photography is driven by the authentic connections people know of each other and is complimented by the environment surrounding them. From small intimate chapels to beautiful, wide open outdoor spaces I love working with couples to capture their day in a way that is true to them.
