About Aryk Copley Photography

Aryk Copley Photography

Wedding Photographer

Welcome! My name is Aryk, I’m a self-taught artist who built my skills from the ground up. My experience in photojournalism and street photography combined with my love of fine art are the foundation of my style. My approach to weddings is that of a documentarian and a witness. My couples are folks who value quality and intimacy, and want their wedding day illustrated with a unique album filled with artful candids, punctuated by breathtaking fine art portraiture.

I'm a diverse, mixed bag of an artist: I juggle cameras and mediums ranging from film to digital to polaroid, and use every tool in my arsenal to tell your unique story. My style is organic, illustrative, and candid. I'm predominantly a film shooter, meaning I prefer the physical medium of celluloid to digital, although I usually shoot a blend of both. I approach weddings with a relaxed, easygoing perspective and work hard to make sure my couples are present for their big day while still getting a beautiful album.

    Looking for candids, street-style, and a mix of digital and film? Aryk is the photographer for you! Aryk captured all aspects of our September San Francisco wedding (welcome party, getting ready, ceremony, and reception), and every single image he captured was perfect. We wanted a gallery consisting mainly of candids and street-style images shot on mainly film but also digital, and Aryk delivered just that. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but we felt so comfortable with Aryk behind the camera! Aryk is incredibly calm, kind, fun, easy-going, creative, and thoughtful, professional, and punctual. He responded very quickly to emails not only from us, but also from our family members who had questions once we received our gallery. Added bonus: Aryk was very popular with our friends, family, and other vendors. Not only did everyone love the photos he captured, but they loved getting to spend time with Aryk. We are still receiving compliments on our photos! We highly recommend Aryk, and we will definitely work with him again.

    Aryk was friendly and responsive. We had an engagement shoot with him and our dogs, and he was wonderful! On the day of our wedding he showed up with a wonderful presence and put us at ease. We gave him a shot list of family photos and he executed it perfectly. He captured all of the important moments both planned and impromptu. He even taught us how to pin a boutonniere when it proved more complicated than we had expected. Our wedding photos are absolutely incredibly and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend Aryk enough!

    We hired Aryk for our wedding last summer and he was the absolute best! Not only do we love our pictures, but he was incredibly kind, calm, and all-around easy to work with leading up to the wedding and on our big day. He’s very punctual and responds quickly to emails. Aryk was also a big hit with our guests; we’re still receiving compliments on our pictures! We highly recommend Aryk and would definitely work with him again. He is the best! One last thing - I highly recommend scheduling an engagement session with Aryk prior to the wedding; it gives you a change to get to know each other and get comfortable before the big day. I know it might seem unnecessary, but I promise it’s well worth it.
