Vendor Feature: Ryan Prins Photography-Pt 3

Today is our 3rd and final installment of our Ryan Prins feature. He's been a really good sport, and a lot of fun to talk with, so today we'll look at the lighter side....

As I said yesterday, you'll be spending a lot of time with some of your vendors (especially those like your photographer and wedding coordinator) so make sure they're a good fit for you. They don't have to be your best friend (but wouldn't that be great!) but you do need to be able to work with them through out the day!

Part 3: Ryan Prins: Let's Talk Fun!


Jessica: I know there's lots of fun photography equipment out there, and every photog I talk to is oogling over atleast one new toy....you've got $1000 to spend...what are you buying?!

Ryan: If I had a grand in cash, free and clear, I would buy portable lighting equipment – flashes, soft boxes, umbrellas, and radio slaves. I have enough right now to get the picture, but would like enough to really get creative with it. Whatever little I might have left (stress “might”) I would blow on music. Ever seen the movie “High Fidelity”? That’s me.



Jessica: Okay, to wrap this up, share something fun about yourself, or something people may be surprised (or shocked?) to find out!

Ryan: I don't think there is anything that surprising about me, but I suppose that is because I know pretty much everything about myself! I suppose most people who meet me now would
peg me as an artsy-fartsy photo geek and would not guess that I was one of those guys always in jeans and a black band tee shirt, riding around on a skateboard, going to hardcore and metal shows. But it's true. I even played in a hard rock/metal band in college, was a snowboard instructor, the whole package. If you happen to catch me outside of a "professional" environment, I will probably be blasting music while still wearing one of those tee shirts. If you really want to make me happy, just ask me to go skateboarding, to a show or, best of all, to listen to my band's old album. I still love it all.


Alright, so that wraps up our very extensive, very fun interview with Ryan Prins. Big thanks to Ryan for making this a fantastic vendor feature, and having so much fun with it! If there is possibly anything left you'd like to know about him (did we not cover it all?) check out his website and blog. His work is amazing, and he's a great person, so take a look!
