Our hair and makeup girls took much longer than anticipated and it unfortunately cut into photo time, but Ralph didn’t disappoint. He still managed to get plenty of beautiful photos and far exceeded my expectations with what he had to work with. I felt so comfortable with him during our engagement and wedding photos and you can see it in the quality he delivers. Literally stop looking and just hire him already. I promise you- I did all of the research in the world and he is by far the best! read less

There are so many qualities that Ralph has that many other photographer that I came across lack and one of them is the excitement he has to get to know the couple explain the process and make good suggestions for the big day !! I can't say enough positives things about Ralph and his crew they are so professional and know very well what they are doing. He captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding day and we have now the most amazing pictures .The day of our wedding we wanted to go around Philadelphia and take some pictures with our wedding party since that's where we my husband and I first met and its meaningful to us .Ralph suggested a couple of neat spots around the city and now , we have so many gorgeous city images just like we visioned. He helped us to create that city wedding theme just like we dreamed of .It was so much fun going around the city and taking those pictures Ralph and his team are so delightful , they were like part of the family . I also did a boudoir photo session with him and what a great experience .. him and his team are so professional , they made me feel so comfortable , beautiful and sexy and more important my husband loved the pictures ...it was his wedding gift from me :-)I'm so glad I found Ralph he did such a phenomenal work with our pictures we couldn't pick which photos to put in our wedding album because we loved all of them . For my husband and I Ralph is now a friend to us and we will be forever to grateful him !! He will be doing our maternity, family and another boudoir session soon . Don't look anywhere else Ralph is your photographer he's literally the best of the best !! read less

Yes he was professional, but most importantly he made me feel comfortable. He literally went above and beyond to try and get to know my husband and I as a couple, so he could truly understand our relationship in order to create the most perfect photographed story of our day. He was able to capture the most beautiful photos on our wedding day, and I can not even begin to tell you how many compliments my husband and I received after sharing our photos with friends and family. From our outside center city Philadelphia shots, to the most fun champagne popping bridal party shot, Ralph did an AMAZING job capturing the most important elements of our day. I cannot thank him enough for being a part our of special day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for any special event in your life. read less

Ralph was the best photographer we could have possibly have imagined for our wedding.

Ralph has an incredible eye, a deep sense of the range of human emotions, a talent for story telling, and the energy and instinct to realize all of his gifts amidst the chaos that often comes with all the moving parts of a wedding. But what really sets Ralph apart from other photographers is his ability to set his clients immediately at ease and work with people of diverse backgrounds, interests, and tastes. Ralph was enthusiastic about understanding the wedding day aesthetic we were going for, and his photos totally captured the vision we had in our mind. He also made really useful suggestions to help us plan the day. He loves weddings and the process of getting to know a couple and really capturing the beauty and joy of their big day. And he goes above and beyond when he’s working – he gets down on the ground, has lightning-fast reflexes in reacting to unexpected moments, and doesn’t lose his cool in 100 degree Victorian ferneries! We were amazed at the images he captured from our wedding. Their composition, lighting, and style paired perfectly with the honesty of experience they express. read less

From the first call we had with Ralph, he was so personable and excited to meet us.

Unfortunately, it kept raining on the day we scheduled for engagement pictures. Ralph kept telling us, “You can control the weather for your engagement pictures, but not your wedding day!” He was so helpful and accommodating in rescheduling our engagement pictures to make sure we had the perfect day and the perfect shots.

In addition to our engagement pictures, Ralph made the effort to get to know us prior to our wedding day. He met us at our venue to scope out the space to make sure we got our dream wedding photos. Ralph worked with our wedding planner to create a timeline so that everything we wanted was captured, and there would be no day of stresses.
Ralph and his team certainly captured our event absolutely perfectly. When the photos came, we couldn’t stop looking at them. We would highly recommend Ralph Deal and his team without any hesitation. read less

I ended up on Ralph’s page EVERY time I found a photo that I LOVED. From the second my husband Jim and I had our first phone call with Ralph we immediately knew we didn’t have to look any further. Ralph genuinely cares to find out about you, and your story rather than just taking your pictures. He wanted to know every detail from how we first met, to how we knew each other was the one we wanted to spend forever with! Ralph made sure the timeline the day of the wedding ran smoothly, and eased my wedding day nerves on multiple occasions. If you’re even considering selecting Ralph for your photographer, take it from one of the pickiest brides ever-DO IT! You won’t be disappointed. read less

And it’s because I’m not able to find the words to describe how the pictures turned out, how Ralph made me feel while taking the pictures and how impressed I am with our album. I knew going into it that I would love his pictures since I loved what I had seen of his work but that was with other people in them not me. I tend to always be the weird looking one in the group (like I don’t know the picture is happening, but I do). We also aren’t a couple who likes to have pictures taken of us (except for a random selfie here and there) so yes, we were awkward in front of the camera and I’m sure there was a lot of editing needed. But Ralph was able to get amazing pictures and made us feel like movie stars! I also can’t even describe the album; I had no idea something this nice could be made and every one of my friends who I’ve let touch it are shocked! (I’m slightly protective over it.) I cannot say enough good things about Ralph, he made a couple of ugly ducklings into swans for a day!!! read less

My wife and I used Ralph for our wedding. We were so blown away by his work, that we elected to bring him to Mexico for our destination wedding, rather than just use the resort provided photographer and would not hesitate to do the same again given the chance. I can not emphasize enough how phenomenal our experience was with Ralph and how wonderful our photos came out. 13/10, would highly recommend.

I could go on all day long about how amazing our experience with Ralph and his team was, from our engagement photos to our wedding day we felt like he was part of the family.

Ralph and his team were absolutely amazing to work with. They made my wedding day look like something out of a fairy tale. Ralph kept everyone on schedule and captured the most beautiful photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!!

We had the best experience with Ralph on our wedding day! He brought our winter wedding to life, and the pictures are incredible! My sister and friends are getting married this year and booked him as well. I am so excited for them!!! He captured every detail, emotion, moment and not to mention is SO much fun to work with! He takes care of you!! The absolute best in the business.

Ralph and his team were phenomenal! They made me and my husband feel so comfortable throughout the experience. They took their time, listened to wants and needs, and truly LOVED their time doing it. Their responses were quick, and his work is BEAUTIFUL!

From our very first phone call, Ralph took the time to listen, ask questions, provide suggestions to make sure he really understood our vision and expectations. He put together a timeline for us with photos in several different locations around Avalon the morning of the wedding . He arrived on time and was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. The weather the morning of the wedding was awful, so we were not able to get the majority of the photos we had hoped for. ICONA Avalon is not a large hotel and Ralph was left with a challenge to try and get the variety of photos that we wanted, all indoors. He did a great job utilizing different areas of the hotel and we were able to get some great photos for our album. The family photos were a little hectic and we somehow missed getting a photo with my husband, myself and two step-daughters, which was a bit disappointing but other than that, he did a great job keeping everyone organized. We received the album proofs promptly and opted for a call to review them. The album was ordered from Italy and is a beautiful keepsake and such great quality. Ralph Deal Photography was well worth the investment - wedding photos are so important and Ralph did not disappoint. read less

My wife Elizabeth and I were married on November 10th, 2018. Ralph was our photographer, but he was so much more than that. His exceptional knowledge of the wedding day process made him a better wedding planner and strategist than we could have ever hoped for. He ensured every beat and minute was planned to perfection. He guided us through the day to make sure every moment and every picture was perfectly captured. Most importantly, Ralph was a welcome calming presence on what can be a hectic day; always assuring us we were doing great and the pictures looked wonderful. Ralph was amazing and patient with our giant families and wedding party when we needed to gather large group pictures. He works well with other vendors, the venue staff, and the videographer. Our images and wedding album are stunning and unique and we will cherish them forever. We will be using Ralph for family photos and any other events we need photographed for years to come. read less

Everyone on the team, from makeup and hair to his assistant, were just incredible.I've always wanted to do a photo shoot, but was never really sure on how to get started. I never thought about a boudoir shoot, I am so glad I did. I will and have recommended Ralph to everyone! I instantly felt comfortable from the moment I walked through the door. Ralph gave amazing direction and the results were beyond what I could have ever imagined. He is there to help each step of the way keeping you updated and providing you with all the information you need before and after your session. I loved reviewing my gallery and building my book with my favorite photos (which was hard, I didn’t think I would love them all).A boudoir shoot sounds scary and intimidating or something that doesn’t seem realistic for the average everyday women. However, it is a real confidence booster and it will change the way you see yourself. Working with Ralph you will not be disappointed. I really couldn't be happier and look forward to working with Ralph again in the future! read less

Ralph is photographing our upcoming wedding in October and we just shot our engagement session with him.

I wanted a specific type of look from a photographer that I couldn't describe but knew that once I found it, it would be the one. My husband and I looked at countless photographers work before we came across Ralph. I called right away and he was so friendly, it was like talking to an old friend. He was thorough, kind, and available on my wedding day so we booked him right away. We scheduled an engagement shoot and Ralph spent hours walking around Olde City with us, looking for the perfect lighting and perfect shots. He was so upbeat and full of energy. I was thrilled with our engagement photos. The day of our wedding, he was early and ready to go. He made me so comfortable and calm when my nerves were the exact opposite. My hairdressers ran late and I worried after that we might not have gotten enough photos-- I was so beyond shocked when we got our photos back. There were so many beautiful shots. I can't put into words how perfect they were and what a great job he did with a not so perfect (lighting-wise) venue. I will treasure the photos for the rest of my life and I am so thankful we found Ralph. I couldn't recommend him enough! read less

He made sure the lighting was perfect and found spots in the area to make sure there was diversity in backgrounds and settings. The only reason we aren't using him for our wedding is because he is already booked. We told him that if anything opens up on that day that we want him there! We haven't even gotten our photos yet and we wanted him to be our photographer on the big day! I can say with 100% certainty that our engagement photos will be amazing. If you are looking for a photographer look no further. He's that guy you want. Thank you so much Ralph for making this an unforgettable experience. read less

When we started planning our wedding, people consistently talked about the photographer. Either how great they are or more so the horror stories...After all, pictures are the only thing you have to show for that day after it is all done and over with.

Either how great they are or more so the horror stories...After all, pictures are the only thing you have to show for that day after it is all done and over with. So needless to say we did a lot of research when choosing our photographer. I am very uneasy in front of the camera so we were looking for more candid photos and a photographer who made us comfortable. We met with Ralph and his easy going fun, yet professional, personality meshed perfect with ours. During the planning process, he was always quick to respond to e-mails and questions. We greatly appreciate the time he took with us before the wedding to go over his extensive questionnaire relative to what type of pictures were important to us and the timeline of the day. We had a DIY wedding on a family member's horse farm with a private ceremony and pig roast reception under a tent so the decor and details were important to us. We really wanted it to be casual and didn't have many of the traditional wedding formalities. Our wedding day was perfect! We had beautiful weather and the entire day was surreal! Ralph and his crew (Greg and Gina) were so great to deal with...it was like hanging out with friends which really helped me forget the camera was there. Anytime I was feeling awkward, Ralph gave me direction, where to put my hands, where to look, etc. We had quite the adventure through fields, high grasses, sticker bushes, etc. but it was well worth it. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful! They are very picturesque but also capture the moment. It's amazing how he captured the love and casual atmosphere through the photos. Our pictures truly tell our wedding story. We couldn't be happier with Ralph! read less

Ralph was absolutely incredible to work with and is extremely talented!

If you're anything like me (and probably most brides) and get a bit anxious on important days (i.e. your wedding day), you NEED to hire Ralph! He has the most calming personality and is constantly reassuring you that everything will be great and has the talent to back it up. Perfect example - We hired Ralph after a successful engagement shoot in NY. Not only did he meet us in NYC, but when my husband and I went to the wrong location and were almost 30 minutes late, he stayed calm, cool, and collected and stayed longer than he had scheduled in order to ensure we got all of the great photos he wanted to take. I was so frazzled but he ensured me not to worry, calmed me down, and we ended up getting beautiful photos. That had me sold, and then he further proved himself leading up to and on our wedding day. He took the time to drive around the city with us ahead of our wedding to select different locations to shoot and we later prioritized such locations to ensure if we ran low on time, we had a plan. The day ran so smoothly and I never looked at the time once because I knew he had everything covered. I am so excited to create our album, but I know it will be difficult because we have so many incredible photos to choose from! THANK YOU Ralph and your entire staff for capturing the most perfect night of our lives! read less

Is there word limit on this?? I have too many good things to say. From the day I met Ralph I knew I wanted to work with him. While his work speaks for itself, its his personality and style that sealed the deal for me. He is the kind of guy that makes you want to find more reasons to work with him.

Ralph and his team were stellar the day of our wedding. Funny, kind, and extremely talented. They made jokes but also gave us pointers (look here, chin up) that made out pictures look so good. Looking back at our pictures, it is clear that he is not the "point and shoot" kind of photographer I was used to seeing. All of our pictures are have a magical quality to them..they have something unique about them and this has not gone unnoticed by our family and friends. Do yourself a favor and book with Ralph, I mean it. He is a gem! read less

Ralph's personality coupled with his amazing talent was a great photo session experience and would definitely recommend him. Our engagement session was so much fun and can't wait for him to photograph our wedding day!!

I could not have asked for a better photographer to work with me on the most important day of my life! Ralph is a total professional and perfectionist and his work shows it. He has an amazing attention to detail and creative eye. My new husband and I, as well as our family and friends, are absolutely enthralled with our photos! They could not be more beautiful and are absolutely one of a kind. I... read moreI could not have asked for a better photographer to work with me on the most important day of my life!
