An absolutely amazing photographer

Ryan and Alexis were absolutely amazing and super flexible (even rescheduling us twice because of the pandemic). The photos were received were absolutely amazing and Ryan made us feel comfortable through the whole process. I would recommend him a thousand times over

Amazing and super accommodating!

Ryan was amazing to work with! He was super great with all the ups and downs and chain changes that came with a Covid wedding 😂 His work was amazing! He made our photos from a dreadfully windy day look completely stunning! Would definitely recommend to any bride ☺️

Wonderful experience!

I loved McMillan Photography's work!! He was able to capture what that day
meant to me in each photo with creativity and style. He has the gift and
you will feel like family by the end!
Even with the wedding being planned in 4 months, McMillan Photographer met
the demands and rose to the occasion. Ryan was flexible and professional.
You wouldn't regret booking him to take photos of your special day. It was
the best experience!

Fantastic, Easy Going

We hired Ryan for our wedding this past May and he was absolutely amazing! He was so easy going and a dream to work with. He was very knowledgeable on good places to go for photos, was able to have fun with us, and made the day run very smoothly. We had a traditional Scottish wedding and Ryan was able to immortalize all of those traditions in our photos. We loved working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Amazing professional photographer!!!

Highly recommend Ryan for his services! Our pictures turned out AMAZING, he captured all of the important moments from our wedding. We get tons of compliments from our wedding pictures on how beautiful they are from family and friends. Ryan was extremely accommodating given that we had to plan our wedding 3 times due to COVID-19. He was very understanding and willing to travel 500+ km from our original venue.

Ryan McMillan
Ryan McMillan
Owner/Photographer

My name is Ryan McMillan and I have lived in Calgary my whole life. I love the mountains, hanging out with my family, going on mini adventures and taking pictures of my children. Did I mention my love of coffee, warm summer evenings, and catching the first sight of hot air balloons in late summer.

I am professionally trained photojournalist who loves true to colour, candid and real moments. However, as an artist, I also can't help but explore the settings I am in to capture authentic artistic compositions.

I love working with my clients to find what matters to them in a way they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Alexis McMillan
Alexis McMillan
Assistant/ Second Shooter

Alexis is an incredibly talented and important part of McMillan Photography. Not only is Alexis my wife, but she is also my second shooter and assistant at weddings. Alexis just knows me and how I work. This means that Alexis anticipates me and moves in coordination with me to get the extra angles where I am not.

I also know Alexis, I trust her completely and there is no one else that I would want with me when photographing a wedding.
