Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you help me with planning or the layout of the day?
    • Yes I can. I am always available to answer questions on the phone, but more than that, with couples who book with me I will send you a pdf with advice to help you plan your wedding. This will include estimates on how long some things like family photos will take and what you can expect.
  • Why Photography and Videography together?
    • The best photography compliments video in a way that allows you to see your photos around your house and watch the moments from your day as they were happening. As a trained photographer/videographer I am able to capture both without there being a conflict between two vendors wanting your attention. A highlight video that is professionally edited to match your photos is the best of both worlds.
  • What if we need more time?
    • Not a problem. I get it, sometimes delays happen and I want your day captured, in full, just as much as you do. If that happens we will talk during the reception and I can stay a bit longer to make sure it gets covered.
  • What if neither of us like being photographed?
    • I get it, I feel the same way!! Most of my couples feel this way and it is why I love doing what I do. Your engagement session is our time to get to know each other, find what works and capture some amazing photos at the same time. My process works because it allows couples to go at their pace, allows space for them to relax, gain confidence and build trust between us. By the time we get to your wedding day you will be able to enjoy the day knowing that I am getting the shots that you will love.

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!

An absolutely amazing photographer

Ryan and Alexis were absolutely amazing and super flexible (even rescheduling us twice because of the pandemic). The photos were received were absolutely amazing and Ryan made us feel comfortable through the whole process. I would recommend him a thousand times over

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.

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.

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 ☺️

Meet the team

Ryan McMillan
Ryan McMillan
Owner/Photographer

My name is Ryan McMillan and I have lived in Calgary my whole life. 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, warm summer evenings, and catching the first sight of hot air balloons in late summer.

I am professionally trained photojournalist who loves true to colour, candid and real moments. However, as an artist, I also can't help but explore the settings I am in to capture authentic artistic compositions.

I love working with my clients to find what matters to them in a way they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Alexis McMillan
Alexis McMillan
Assistant/ Second Shooter

My name is Alexis and I am Ryan's wife and second shooter! We have been married for almost 19 years, have 5 children and love this adventure of life we have created.

Working together, as a team, means that we know each other, trust each other and love working with couples to capture what matters to them. It also means that we can be in two places at once working with the couple's best interest in mind.

I love capturing the candid, fun moments of the day, alternative angles during the ceremony and helping with the details.
