Calm, Elevated Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Experience
Welcome to Seneca Ryan Weddings
We're husband and wife wedding photographers and founders of Seneca Ryan Co. Based in Northeast Pennsylvania and Central New York, we photograph weddings throughout Scranton, the Pocono Mountains, as well as Syracuse, Skaneateles, Cazenovia, and the Finger Lakes region. You’re planning a wedding that truly matters, one full of people, moments, and feelings that you want to remember forever. You want to be present and you want to trust that the most important moments, from laughter and happy tears to quiet, in-between moments, will be captured beautifully.
Our work is rooted in over 15 years of experience, calm guidance, and a deep understanding of how wedding days actually unfold. We believe the best images come from trust and presence. From refined family portraits to candid moments you didn’t even realize were happening, we guide when needed, step back when it matters, and make sure nothing important is missed, so you can stay fully present with the people you love most. The result is photographs that feel timeless, honest, and true to your story, images that bring you back to the joy of marrying your best friend for years to come.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Seneca and her team. From our call with Seneca, she made an incredible effort to get to know my wife and I. When we met to have our engagement photos taken it was like we had already known each other and been friends for years. Her and Paul have a special way of making you feel totally comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot and it definitely shows in the final product. Seneca is beyond professional and organized and she was regularly in touch with us as our wedding day approached. On the big day her experience and passion become as apparent as ever. We could not be happier with the photos and memories she captured on our wedding day. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you book Seneca Ryan Co. if you are looking for a photographer!
"Having Seneca Ryan Co as our wedding photographer team was one of the best and easiest decisions we could have ever made! Seneca was great to communicate and work with throughout the planning process. Seneca took our engagement photos. Paige and Eva were our wedding photographers. We couldn't have asked for a better group of ladies to work with. They were professional and had a passion for capturing beauty and our love for one another. They also handled our goofy bridal party perfectly and embraced us with open arms! We have already received a sneak peek and we cannot wait to see the rest of our photos! I would recommend Seneca, Paige, and Eva to anyone and everyone looking for a dream team of photographers! "
