BEHIND THE LENS
Getting to know me as your photographer is just as important as me wanting to know the authentic YOU. So hi, I’m Riann - which is just “Ryan” like the boy (can you tell I’m used to that one? LOL). You don't know this yet, but by the end of this whole experience.. we’ll pretty much be best friends! I’m an Oklahoma based photographer, traveling worldwide to capture honest and true love stories.. (& loving every minute of it)
RIANN HASSELL
What I love -
Some of my favorite things include: my boyfriend, my dogs, iced coffee, working out, being an aunt, the beach, new places + people, and listening to music (usually I like anything but country, but if there’s line dances played on your wedding day, I’m somehow caught leading the crowd)
I believe the best photos come from a real connection.. when you feel comfortable being yourself and letting your love shine through. That’s why I focus on creating an experience where you can be present, soak it all in, and trust that I’ll capture the feelings you’ll want to relive for years to come. Your story is personal, and your photos should feel that way too.
YOUR FULL-TIME HYPE GAL
Half the time, I can’t believe this is actually my JOB - I get to witness the raw emotions, stolen glances, and heartfelt connections that make each celebration an unforgettable experience! I'd like to think I’m known for my laid-back and friendly nature, which allows me to connect with couples and make them feel at ease in front of the camera. Not only are you hiring me as your photographer, I also take on roles including being your full-time hype gal and fully giving my all to celebrate your day, your way.
GENUINE + TIMELESS LOVE
Your love story deserves more than posed photos - it deserves to be felt every time you look back. I take time to understand what matters most to you so your wedding gallery feels personal, intentional, and deeply authentic. From the big celebrations to the quiet moments, my goal is to capture it all with care. & if your guests happen to mention that your photographer was everywhere at once (while still blending right in), then I know I’ve done my job right.
