ROMANTICS

Meet the artists

Ryan & Jenn

From the young ages of 7 & 11, what started out as a simple childhood crush, blossomed into a love story full of passion and excitement for one another. After getting married, they continued achieving their dreams and pursuing some of their hobbies. Avid lifelong Giants fans, they love the smell of the ballpark and the excitement of the game. They also dabble in cake decorating and enjoy creating edible treats together. Ryan and Jenn love making memories with their two boys and living life to the fullest.

Our passions

We are passionate about capturing stunning images. Breathtaking moments of beauty. Expressions of sheer bliss. These are the memories that bring joy for a lifetime. The ones that bring tears to your eyes, and those that make your heart skip a beat. We love watching weddings unfold minute by minute - quietly documenting a day full of passion.

history

ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL EFFECTS OF LIVING YOUR PASSIONS IS THAT IT INSPIRES OTHERS TO LIVE THEIR OWN.

history

est. 1978

Photography by McClaren first started in 1978 by Ryan's father, Rob. As a graphic designer and highly experienced, sought-after commercial photographer moving into weddings and portraits was a natural outpouring. From a young age, Ryan’s curiosity and passion for photography began to grow. Rob began teaching Ryan a firm technical foundation of photography when Ryan was just 13, using a 35mm film camera and eventually transitioning to medium format film cameras. Going to countless weddings with Rob, Ryan took every opportunity to grow his skills and produce images that could be cherished by clients for years to come. Ryan and Jenn excitedly took the helm of Photography by McClaren in 2008. Ryan and Jenn have an enthusiasm to see the world through a different light. Defining moments with a click of a shutter, and creating opportunity for those moments to happen. Ryan puts 40 years of photography history to work creating stories of passion through a lens.
