It was a delight working with Ryan on my last project, he's easy to work with, a clear communicator, and a top notch professional video editor. Working with Ryan means that we don't have to sacrifice quality to meet a rigorous deadline.

AO Productions is an absolutely fabulous, personable business that makes heartwarming stories in the forms of cinematic videos and advertisements. AO is, by far, the most booming freelance business operation I've seen in the city yet.
I have had the unique privilige to work for Ryan Ao, the owner, as his assistant for nearly a year. The projects he commits to are always a blast to work on and I've seen him service everyone from small budget clients to clients with astronomically high budgets. The working environment is not stressful at all, and he makes it all fun, while productive, and even will take the time to learn along with me and help guide me. The same with clients. If you get him amped about a project, he'll take you out for dinner and discuss the scope for hours. AO cares about the projects they're making and the people they're making them for.
I hope the legacy of AO productions continues to expand and stay close to home as one of Portland's best boutique production service, and I hope to stay along for the ride.
To say I'm pleased in an understatement! Ryan braved the elements, mud, rain, waterfalls to capture so many exquisite photos. He truly captured my essence and I not only highly recommend his service..but will use him again and again and tell all my friends! Thank you Ryan for making this such a memorable and amazing experience for me! ~Faith Spina
I recommend Ryan Ao Media for any video services you need! He is not only a good photographer but also an amazing videographer with great editing skills. I have worked with him for the project and seen his final product, they were so amazing, I was blown away!! He is constantly updating his equipment and learning new tricks, his work is getting better and better every time. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer for your wedding, portrait or any corporate event and project, I highly recommend Ryan, he is quick and very easy to work with. I will hire him every time!!
Ryan has an incredibly creative mind and he has a real talent for videos that really connect with people. I would recommend Ryan to any company that wants a video that customers won't forgot.
Ryan Ao was fantastic to work with and so friendly. Everyone loved him! He served as the videographer for my 3 day Indian wedding and was so easy to work with! He showed up early to the events and stayed until everything was over. He even surprised me when he showed up to one of my events that I did not pay him for! He puts his heart into his work. And, it showed! In less than six weeks, he compiled the most amazing snapshot of my wedding. We couldn't be happier. Thanks, Ryan!
We had a great experience with Ryan and he is a great value for what you get! He was asked to work in a somewhat distracting and challenging atmosphere and he worked around everything to make the most of the situation and find the best opportunities. We were greatly impressed with the end result and will be using him again very soon for an even bigger project!
Ryan's talent knows no bounds! Photographer, Director, Artist, Videographer, Curator... We met when he invited me to show art in his gallery and we hit it off instantly. His passion for art shines through and through. I would certainly hire him for any professional photography or videography project. Exceptional talent.
I've worked with Ryan a few times and he's personable, passionate and accessible. His team adds value to any project and I can't wait to work with him again!
Ryan was best thing that happened to us on our wedding! We were completely blown away by Ryan's photographic AND videography talent and creativity. We don't even know how he pulled them both off at the same time. The most amazing part is how well he blended in with our guests and the flow of the wedding. We don't know how he managed to take such extraordinary photos of us that looked so natural, spontaneous and candid. It was as if he invisibly tracked us all day and night on our wedding day and then his photos and videos magically appeared so personal and intimate. He captured some really creative photos and videos which magically captured the nuances of our feelings and emotions. Ryan went out of his way to connect with us and personally invested extra time to feel our love story. The results clearly demonstrated this extra level of commitment. No surprise were the superb photos of the classic wedding shots. Thank you Ryan Ao for capturing our memorable day with such beauty and grace. We are eternally grateful. Sean & Alexandra
Poppa Ryan was so fun and easy to work with. Creative ideas and open to my ideas, thank you for that and farm dog Dino says thank you for being patient with him too! Until next year's photoshoot...
Working with Ryan Ao is always an amazing experience! Professional, prompt, and highly detailed orientated. Our company is lucky to have such a refined collaborator to call on for filming, photography, and editing. We highly recommend working with Ryan Ao Media.
I love Ryan Ao! He is absolutely amazing as a photographer, he kept an open mind to my new ideas and works at the pace I set. We got in did the photo shoot, then after shoot he sat down with me edited the photos that I wanted and loaded them on to a jump drive. I left with the proof of concept that day. If he wasn't moving he would be the only photographer I work with.
We had our shoot with Ryan at the St Regis in Princeville. I have had couple of photo shoots earlier after my wedding in Los Angeles, the photographers came with fancy cameras , muliple lens and different flash lights but none of their pics came close to the pics taken by Ryan . Best part Ryan keeps us smiling and active throughout the shoot .If anyone is in Hawai and looking for a good professional photographer Ryan is the person to contact. Thanks alot Ryan for capturing our memories in Kauai. Wishing u all the sucess in all ur future projects
I have worked on a few projects with Ryan Ao and have been greatly appreciative of his vision, professionalism and quality of work. His videographer skills, editing and his ability to bring my ideas to life were priceless. I would highly recommend this talented artist for any project you are working on.
I ve had the pleasure of working with Ryan Ao in the past on a variety of design-related projects. As an entrepreneur and boss, Ryan is incredibly kind and understanding, providing a safe space for the people he works with to grow and learn. He took me under his wing and was so gracious and hospitable, providing opportunities that were incredible with a lot of creative control and constructive criticism along the way. He appreciates my time and really values the work I put into each project. Ryan runs his business with so much kindness and puts an immense about of care into every project and I am so greatful to have worked with Ryan and his team.
I discovered Ryan through a friends recommendation and after really easy communication we set up a time and date to shoot some photos for me and my salon. When Ryan showed up he arrived early and was completely prepared with everything he needed. He had all the equipment one could ask for and had a really great and artistic eye for what shots would look best. Ryan spent approximately a half hour in the space taking photos and moving stuff around and when he was done he put everything back in its place and cleaned up. He was very fast, and very professional. The pictures he took look great and are super high quality. I will use Ryan again any time i need more pictures or videos taken.
We were lucky enough to have Ryan for a guide on one of our hikes in Kauai. To our surprise and benefit, he's an amazing professional photographer that took creative, beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime photos of my husband and I while we were on this beautiful hike. He was very easy to relate, talk to and like for us all. Thank you, Ryan, the photos are amazing and I will be telling anyone I know heading to Kauai about you!
