“If you want a great wedding photographer, go with Rob. In my view, it's that simple. He has mastered the ‘standard’ wedding photographs (and you do want those), but he will also deliver those signature ‘Rob Greer’ images that capture everything you're hoping for in a wedding. He photographed ours several weeks ago and I can definitively state that we could not be happier with both the day and with the results. The lighting (4 pm outdoors) was very tough, but Rob had the technical chops to make that a non-issue. He was sufficiently ‘take charge’ to push through the mandatory scores of ‘group’ photos (‘Let's have Mom with the Bride...now add in Dad...’) that had to be done on a tight time line, but he did it with such a light touch and good humor that he was able to capture authentic smiles from everyone. In our ‘bride and groom’ location shots, he composed beautiful images that will stay with us forever. He's great at the ‘set shots’, and he's also great a capturing those great moments” — not just in the raw photography, but also in the editing. He's a consummate professional, and a great guy as well. The photographer ends up being a very significant participant in this important day, so you want someone who has Rob's type of personality. He's very friendly and open, but without being overly familiar or intrusive. He listens, but he also directs” — reading the mood and context as to which approach would be most appropriate and helpful in the moment. I have written very FEW Yelp reviews, but we just had to write one for Rob” — he earned it!” — John McIntire
“Our first and favorite. I knew from the moment that I happened upon Rob's portfolio online that I needed him to be our wedding photographer. We interviewed several others, but we were not only blown away by the quality of his photos, but the knowledge and obsessive detail-orientation that he brings to the craft. Here's why you should hire Rob in a nutshell: 1) His images are timeless - all his photos are centered around people, not the background. His eye for detail is unparalleled, and his photos are the type that will remain relevant today, tomorrow, and for years to come. 2) He makes taking photos fun - we had many folks in our wedding party that weren't the most jazzed about having their picture taken, but they were converts after Rob. Whether it is making up funny nicknames, cracking jokes, or just generally being the coolest dude ever, he makes you want to laugh, smile, and most importantly, want to become his best friend. 3) He tells it to you straight / knows his stuff - Rob knows what is good and bad, and we have trusted his professional judgment on all things related to the wedding. He was an essential part of planning our details for the big day, and helped advise our other vendors about placement, timing, etc. Look no former than the wedding planning portion of his website to know that he knows what works and what doesn't - Rob's know how allows him to secure all the little details necessary to get that perfect shot. 4) Follows through and follows up - You're not just another client to Rob. He's in demand and can be choosy about who he works with (he caps how many weddings he takes on in a year). He truly wants to ensure the best possible outcome for all of his clients, and goes out of the way to check in, both before and after the wedding, to not only make sure what he needs is secured, but also to provide perspective and feedback on what would be best overall for your big day. BOTTOM LINE - Our first vendor, our favorite vendor. BOOK HIM!” — Kathy Choi
“This review is long in the making, but is very necessary. My wife and I were married in April. Leading up to our wedding, my wife and I had to make many important decisions, and I can say without reservation that choosing Rob Greer as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we could have possibly made. Rob was hands-down our best vendor. He brought with him a sense of professionalism and an understanding for how a wedding should look and feel, qualities that surfaced very early in the process when he made insightful recommendations regarding our venue, table arrangements, and getaway car. And you don't have to take my word for it - just look the wedding planning tips on his website. Furthermore, on the day of our wedding, Rob continued to impress. He kept the bridal party on schedule while taking AMAZING photographs. He understands that you don't just want pictures, you want captured moments. He would always position my wife, the bridal party, and I just right so as to capture our best sides. And he's funny too. Every single member of our bridal party raved about how awesome Rob was and about how fun it was to take photos with him. Also, for anyone planning to employ both a videographer and photographer on your wedding day, it's important that you understand the pros and cons of each (which Rob laid out to us during a call). Great video often comes at the cost of great photos as the videographers take the prime position for the first kiss, the walk down the isle, etc., meaning that your photographer is not able to capture photos from said prime position. Deciding which is most important to you (photo/video) is key - for us it was photos, which we articulated to both Rob and our videographer. With that directive in hand, Rob worked with our videographer to ensure that he captured the best photographs while ensuring quality video as well. I've heard horror stories of videographers and photographers bickering over position during the actual wedding and subsequently both producing poor quality products, so Rob's ability to control the situation in a zero stress manner helped keep the focus on what mattered - our wedding. Should my wife and I plan another special event requiring a photographer in the future, Rob will definitely be the first person we call. With Rob you get what you pay for - quality and professionalism of the highest degree.” — Doug Mansfield
“We had a wonderful experience with Rob. From the very beginning he was responsive via e-mail and available by phone. We got to meet him personally to go over details before hiring him and it really helped us to see if we would mesh. He and my husband hit it off right away and that's when I knew that Rob would be our photographer. He's funny and outgoing and he made the whole wedding party laugh and have a great time. My husband, who dislikes getting his photo taken, said that being [photographed] together by Rob was his favorite part of the whole wedding. That really tells you something there! Rob really knows how to capture the moment and make everything look stunning and he has a great eye for detail. The end results are amazing photos that we will cherish forever! We plan to hire him again, [but next] time for family photos.” — Jessica Larson
“I'll never forget our first meeting with Rob. I cried three times! His vision of our wedding day was just perfect. Rob was always quick to respond and very helpful whenever I needed some input or recommendations. He never made a promise that he didn't keep, and he is very upfront and honest, which is important when you are trusting someone to capture your special day. When you are a bride, you miss a lot, so the photos taken to document the details and moments are priceless! We are so in love with our photos and we could not be happier with them. They are perfect, thanks to Rob! I also want to say thank you to Vanessa. Rob, she was wonderful! We highly recommend him! Rob, you exceeded our expectations!” — Arlene Roberts
“Rob was terrific from the start. He was quite professional and very helpful not only with the photography but also with recommendations for the other parts of the wedding as well. His presence was seamless with the timing of the photos and the activities of the wedding and reception. He worked well with the videographers. He was also great with the kids as well. Both the engagement and the wedding photos were awesome. He seems to have an ability to truly capture the moment. I definitely would recommend him to our friends.” — David Shaw
“From the first time we met with Rob, I knew that our wedding photography would be in good hands. We were assured that he planned for the worst so that the day would go smoothly no matter what, and he really did did! Even when things didn't go as planned, he helped us through and got all the shots we wanted! Rob was easy to work with, listened and provided advice when needed, had fantastic [rapport] with the guests (and my 2.5 and 5 year old nephews who he got to smile for all the pictures for us) and on top of all of that, took fantastic pictures! He is on the more expensive side, but well worth it. I count myself lucky to have had Rob as my wedding photographer!” — Rebecca Waterman
“Rob runs a tight ship on making sure our wedding photos came out the best way possible. He understands timing, venue locations, guest lists, and all of the many hiccups that may occur on wedding day, to the tee, and will help you forecast any potential issues. This is extremely helpful when it comes to photography. And when things don't go as planned, he will go out of his way to ensure the right moments are captured for the couple. We don't remember much from our wedding day, but are thrilled to have it captured in beautiful photographs.” — Fay Ho
“He made things much easier for my wife and I with his professionalism and attention to detail. He had a great attitude and was fun to work with. Highly recommended.” — Wesley Singer
“Rob was nothing short of amazing! He offered lots of great advice during the planning stage, and has lots of great reading material on his website. We chose Rob based on his portfolio--his work is fresh and fun, and really comes alive. He was also really great on the day of--very personable and really took the time to get everyone to look their best. His assistant was wonderful too. All in all, we couldn't have been happier with his work, and our guests can't say enough about how pleased they are with the photos. Highly recommended!!” — Ian Hunter
“Rob Greer is a fabulous! Rob made the process easy, comfortable and fun. He was great at communicating, finding out what we liked and capturing it. Since our wedding, we have received countless compliments about the photos. They are crisp, clean and modern (yet timeless). When looking back on all of our wedding expenses, Rob's photography was worth every penny.” — Johnnie Thompson
“Rob is an incredible photographer and amazing to work with! My whole family and I were nothing but impressed with Rob from start to finish. We had a lot of fun and felt very comfortable working with him. He's great at handling different personality types and does all he can to ‘help the day of’ run smoothly for the bride and groom. We had an amazing wedding with wonderful photos to show for it and I know that's in part to the fabulous job the Rob did! I cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a photographer.” — Ashley Lingle
“Rob was fabulous! He handled all the various personalities very well, organized everyone patiently, and even gave framing tips to all the cell phone photographers who where driving us all crazy. Highly recommend this photographer! The photos certainly captured the event. So easy to work with.” — Gale Lingle (Ashley Lingle’s Mom)
“Rob's portfolio online played a big part in the decision to hire him from my point of view as I was in the UK at the time and didn't have the opportunity to meet him, unlike my wife who met with him initially, until we did the engagement shoot that came as part of the package! This made me a bit hesitant at first but Rob was a consummate professional from start to finish. I was at ease the whole time, he was very good at explaining what he was doing and why so that we could also help to bring the best out in our wedding photography, he kept us on our toes and kept us laughing and smiling. And that was just the engagement shoot! I think that the engagement shoot was a really good idea, it gives you the chance to relax and get to know Rob without any pressure and to enjoy an afternoon taking some photos before the big day. The wedding day itself went really smoothly, I was with Rob's second, she was lovely and unobtrusive, some lovely photos of myself and the groomsmen getting ready, I think the room we were getting ready in at the venue wasn't the best for light but she made good use of what she had and then we had fun doing a whole bunch of shots all over the venue. We were then all ready for the first look and Rob did his best to make me overcome with emotion, all the while my wife was stood right behind me! Throughout the ceremony and dinner I pretty much had no idea where Rob and his second were but the photos look wonderful! They have captured some brilliant moments of levity, love and laughter. My wife looks resplendent in her dress, I look pretty dapper in my suit if I say so myself! The photos really reflect the amazing incredible day that we had and everyone that we shared it with. Rob and Dina did a wonderful job and I look forward to sharing the photos with my family and friends.” — Josh Meeklah
“I like to think that I am stickler for high standards and attention to detail so of course when it came to shopping for wedding vendors it was no easy task, except when we made the decision to INVEST in Rob Greer's services. What first attracted us to him was his photographic style, it stood out from all the other plain vanilla photos we've seen from friends' weddings. In fact, contrary to ‘comparison shopping,’ Rob was the first and only photographer we met with. From the moment we met with him in his (beautiful) home to his very impressive presentation, we were honestly blown away. His presentation was like no other vendor's we've encountered, by far. In no way we are saying he's for everybody, but he definitely was perfect for us. He is the type of person that will leave nothing to chance, and speaking after our wedding event, we've learned how important that is. Rob is the epitome of the aforementioned high standards and attention to detail that we look for. His structure to his services and thoroughness leaves nothing in the dark. The passion he has for his craft is very evident.
“When it came to the actual photography portion of our investment, he handled our engagement shoot and wedding coverage with the utmost professionalism yet was still very personable and humorous. At our initial engagement shoot location, security enforced a new rule that neither we or Rob knew about (he shot there many times before that with no problems) requiring us to have a permit so we were immediately kicked out. Rob, however, did try to get a hold of his contact at the venue to no avail. Admittedly, we were very bummed because we chose that location for a reason, but Rob gave us some suggestions and we moved on to a nearby favorite location of his. Although our predicament was no fault of his, he had it in control and our shoot was still a success. The day of our wedding, as is the experience with most people, was definitely surreal and seemed to be a blur so to speak. Photographers are most likely the only vendor you will have the most contact with on your big day and once again Rob and his second shooter Vanessa made us feel at ease and comfortable. (Rob even let all my groomsmen touch and play with his newly acquired iPhone 6 Plus which had just come out the day before!) This guy trusted us way too much! But perhaps that just may be his style, he will be silly at times and trust you and in return, you cant help but feel relaxed and trust that he will do an amazing job. Due to a late start at the ceremony, our reception timeline got pushed back 30-45 minutes. Rob, being the play maker he is, controlled the field and got us back to within a reasonable time frame by adjusting where when and how he would take our photos. He was always in clear communication with us first and foremost before working things out with the MC/caterer/driver. Days after our wedding, among other things, we received several compliments from guests about ‘the photographer,’ They mentioned how funny he was and how cordial he was with those he was photographing. This to us not only shows professionalism but pure class, after all, our guests weren't the ones investing in his services. His photos speak for themselves, but his character, also, is something he holds to a high standard. We are 100% happy that we invested in Rob Greer, the adage ‘you get what you pay for’ rings true in this case. Thanks again Rob!” — Minette Galam
“When I first started the process of planning my wedding, I hadn't thought much of the photographer as I was busy trying to find a venue. One of Rob's portraits happened to be displayed at one of the venues where I happened to be looking, and I just couldn't take my eyes off it....the picture was that amazing! I knew at that moment, I had found our photographer! Sure, I had gone through the motions of looking at and speaking to other photographers over the phone, but knew no one's work even came close to what I had seen that day or in Rob's online portfolio. His pictures are truly works of art! Rob was the first and only photographer we met with, and we booked him on the spot! My then fiancé and I were so impressed by his meeting/presentation, professionalism, and skill. We were confident we were in great hands! Rob did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing our wedding day! From beginning to end, we have an incredible picture story. He demonstrated great skill in getting just the right shots while creating a setting in which everyone in our wedding party actually had fun taking wedding party photos! Rob not only took great shots of us, but he also was able to get some remarkably priceless shots of our parents, family members, and even our friends! Everyone keeps raving about our awesome pictures! If you are looking forward to having best wedding pictures ever, (and who doesn't??? ) then Rob is your guy! My husband and I are so very happy with his work, and know you will be too!” — Kimberly Thomas
“From the very beginning we knew Rob was our guy. He welcomed us into his beautiful home and showed us videos and albums of his previous work, which we could tell he was very proud and passionate about. Not only were we impressed with his talented work, but our personalities clicked instantly and just like that we had our wedding photographer! We choose to do engagement photos with Rob, which he highly recommends, in order for each of us to get more comfortable and familiar with one another. Rob has a ton of experience so he is great at suggesting ideal locations if you aren't set on a specific spot. We wanted an urban and modern setting and had so much fun shooting at The Walt Disney Music Hall in downtown. After hours of smiles we we're all exhausted but knew Rob captured some great moments. Just a few short weeks later we received our engagement photos back, which we loved and were able to send out our save the dates. Rob was very transparent and asked us for our honest feedback with what we liked and didn't like in order for him to improve on his shots for our wedding day. As we got closer to our wedding day we were in contrast contact with Rob, going over shot lists, timing and all the other finalizing details. Rob was also great about communicating with our coordinator and other vendors to ensure everything was planned and executed perfectly. On the day our of wedding Rob and his assistant showed up earlier than scheduled and immediately started working. He and his assistant went back and forth between the girls and guys while we were all getting ready as he shot both candid and posed looks. Everything was on schedule as the day progressed, which I understand never happens, so we had plenty of time for our individual, bridal party and family photos. Again, Rob was extremely organized and had a vision for everything, which is a major reason why the whole day was absolutely magical and we couldn't be more obsessed with how all the photos turned out!” — Darci Gwartz
“If there was a piece of advice I could offer any couple planning their wedding it would be this: Hire the best photographer your budget can afford. I was adamant about finding the best photographer we could find and it took my number one priority when wedding planning started. After searching through several pages of photographers on the wedding circuit (wedding wire, the knot, wedding bee), I had only come across (maybe) 3 photographers that had caught my eye- the number one contender being Rob Greer. I was immediately drawn to his style- classic, clean and timeless photos. Nothing trendy or gimmicky- they were photos that told a story. This is what I was looking for. I was not simply looking to find someone to capture our moments but someone who would articulate our specific story through photos that spoke to the viewer. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Comb through the highlighted photos on Rob Greer's website- they don't just speak a thousand words, they tell you a thousand stories, each one unique to the couple/family/individual being captured. If you are deciding on pictures alone, Rob's portfolio is enough to end your search. But on top of being such a professional creative genius behind the lens, Rob is simply a good guy to be around. He made us feel comfortable at both our engagement shoot and wedding day. He put us at ease, he made us laugh, and was just a genuinely cool dude to hang out with. Maybe this is why he is able to capture such warm and interesting photos- he actually cares about making his subjects comfortable in front of the camera! Hiring Rob was the smartest and best decision we made while wedding planning. Rob is a nothing but a pleasure to work with- smart and honest with talent beyond measure. He was easily accessible for any questions you might have and was an index of amazing wedding advice and tips to keep in mind during wedding planning. But all that is an extra bonus when picking Rob. His photos speak for themselves.” — Alexis Bautista
“As the groom I did not have a photography perspective that I was looking for in regards to a photographer. I wanted someone who was easy to work with, assertive, and would be able to tell a story for my wife and I on our special day and Rob Greer delivered all of this and more! Not only was Rob extremely professional, but he had a knack for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and helping you relax your nerves when it was needed. When you talk to Rob, not only are you getting great photography advice, but he is full of additional wedding advice that you may not know you needed, or even had though about. He was able to help guide us on our day to make it as smooth as possible, while providing amazing photographs as well! Rob is well worth the time and money and if you want your photos to be with you and represent your day and tell your story in the best way possible. Give Rob a call and set up an appointment!” — Peter Colantoni
“Creative... Organized... Punctual... Rob is a gifted professional in the highest sense! You can relax in knowing that you're going to get great photos. And you'll get exactly what you agree upon. Rob was the very first vendor my husband and I locked in as we knew we wanted to have the best photos possible to capture our big day. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the amazing museum quality images he created for us. And it's been wonderful to see how captivated and pleased our friends and family have been by his work - with many of them commenting that the photos should be published in a magazine. Definitely check him out!” — Natasha Dixon
“Using Rob Greer Photography is absolutely one of the best decisions my wife and I made when planning our June wedding earlier this year. Actually, Rob was the first vendor we locked in. We knew that we wanted the very best photos possible to document our big day. And after looking at numerous photography websites we landed on Rob's page. All of the work on his website immediately resonated with us. Lots of wonderful images. If fact, all of our guests and Facebook friends continue to rave about our wedding photos. Rob is an amazing photographer with a wonderful sense of composition. It's no wonder that he's won awards. He pushes himself to be the best and his passion makes for some magical imagery. On the business end of things, he is very structured and particular. Everything is laid out on his website in great detail with all of the costs and procedures listed very clearly. While his pricing isn't cheap, I do believe it's fair. And the work is certainly spectacular. Rob and his assistants were totally fired up on our wedding day. And they totally hit it out of the park! We have some incredible photos that we look forward to passing down to our family... Visual heirlooms all made possible by his exceptional level of artistry! Thanks Rob!!!” — Benmio McCrea
“My wife and I hired Rob to photograph our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. A few thoughts:1. Rob takes excellent photos. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, check out his website to see some examples of his style. And while what you see there will give you a sense of his style, he isn't a mechanical photographer who takes the same shot over and over. He adapted extremely well to our preferences, venue, and wedding, and created a whole set of unique shots that my wife and I love. The hardest part was narrowing down our favorite the photos to fit into an album. 2. Rob is easy to work with. He showed up to everything on time, responds to emails and calls promptly, got along well with our other vendors, and provided us with so much helpful information and input about the photography process and wedding experience. And to get his great shots, Rob never ‘got in the way.’ He always was ready to get the shot, but he never was obtrusive, took over, or otherwise interfered with the day.3. Rob is a great value. For all of the services that he provides, Rob is an excellent value. Between our engagement session and wedding, we received well over a thousand photos, and he provided us with digital copies of all the photos to share with friends and family. Furthermore, while Rob isn't a wedding coordinator, his advice is almost coordinator-like. He provided thoughts on our wedding day timeline and vendor recommendations, helped calm an anxious relative, and other similar services.” — John Cise
“Impeccable photos, all-star personality, and a true professional in every sense of the word. Rob talks-the-talk and the exceptional caliber of images speak for themselves; but out of the well over 20 vendors in the wedding planning process Rob was the ONLY one who walked-the-walk. Rob makes only promises he can deliver, he will tell you like it is, and he will not disappoint you when all is said and done. I am hyper critical of myself in photos and I loved every one Rob took of me on my wedding day. So many photographers just turn every picture black-and-white or put these crazy filters to hide their lack of quality, but each one of Rob's images are real, authentic, and beautifully simplistic. He is clearly looking at the world in a different way than most because the pictures he takes almost feel more amazing than the actual reality! Aside from looking good, the next most important thing to me was my wedding running on schedule and Rob was supremely paramount in making that actually happen. I know it's incredibly important that a photographer take great pictures, but you have no idea how important it is for the photographer to also be highly organized until that big day comes. Rob embodies that rare combination of a true artist, but also a genuine professional; a vital mix needed for a successful wedding. Rob is a wealth of knowledge and throughout the whole planning process sent articles, tips, and advice on any number of issues. Sometimes we thought it was over-the-top all the tips, but we always came back to the fact that we were so thankful we actually hired a photographer that cared so much about the quality of his product and the satisfaction of his client that he was willing to spend so much extra time to make sure we were as educated as possible. When the big day came, we could not be more pleased that we read each and everything he sent us and tried our best to adhere to his recommendations and expertise. We did not do our part perfectly, but Rob still did his perfectly, and we can't ever thank him enough.” — Katie Sullivan
“When my daughter called with news of her engagement my husband and I immediately reminisced about our wedding moments! We pulled out our photo album of 35 years ago and said ‘Oh, Lordy, we have got to make sure she and her betrothed have wedding photos that are timeless and beautiful, not frightful!’ Our children loved to look at our wedding photos when they were little and I cringed every time the album came out! I wanted my daughter and her husband-to-be to have photos to cherish forever and be proud to show their children! The very first thing we did is scour over SCORES of photographer websites looking for ‘THE PHOTOGRAPHER.’ I'm not kidding when I say scores. Night after night we poured over those websites. And then we saw Rob's pictures. It was love at first sight. We sent the engagees an email with our favorite 10 and hoped they'd see what we saw. And they did! His work is beautiful. The fact that he was a former marine like my husband only bolstered ‘the love.’ I cannot say enough good things about Rob. He was far and away our favorite vendor. He even tweaked the placement of my daughter's veil to perfection! He was professional, detailed, fun, quirky and his photos are gorgeous! He captured so many beautiful moments-in-time that I would have never seen otherwise. He delivered in every aspect and I will recommend him to anyone that asks! When my sons get married, he's number one on my list! No need to look any further. You cannot go wrong with Rob! 5 stars is not enough.” — Kathy Sullivan (Katie Sullivan’s Mom)
“As father of the bride I had few choices in wedding preparation. What I did get to do was look over the many photographer websites and help select. The one that stood out was Rob Greer Photography. His pictures had a creative flare that in my opinion were unparalleled. It was a no-brainer unanimous decision he was our choice. I didn't have a chance to meet Rob prior to the wedding day, but I knew as a former Marine like myself I could trust that he would have the same attention to detail as I would have. The day of the wedding when Rob arrived at least an hour earlier than what he had said and mapped out his plan of action, I knew we were in good hands. He helped us tweak the seating arrangements in the garden for the best possible photo opportunities. My daughter, her fiancé and Rob set off for some pre-wedding photos and Rob somehow finagled his way into a well-known celebrity's spectacular gated property where he took some amazing pictures in the garden. Simply incredible photos. Aside from his beautiful photography he bailed me out of a sticky situation with my daughter when I was unavoidably detained at the reception site trying to pull all the last minute stuff together. Unbeknownst to me my daughter was waiting for me for the initial roll out. I being completely oblivious to this, saw my daughter as I drove up, probably cutting it a little close to wedding time, and whipped out my cell phone to take some pictures. I would personally like to thank you, Rob, for saving my a$% and diffusing that situation. He captured photos of our father/daughter dance that makes me shed a tear every time I see them. Basically, if you're looking for a wedding photographer, the search ends here.” — Mike Sullivan (Katie Sullivan’s Dad)
“We chose Rob as a photographer because his photos made us feel like we knew the people in them. Each photo we saw made us feel the emotion of the moment and that is what we wanted to be captured on our special day. Leading up to the wedding, Rob was friendly and down-to-earth, while also maintaining the utmost level of professionalism. He was detailed and thorough, and made us feel confident that the timeline of our day was in good hands. On our wedding day, Rob and his second photographer, Vanessa, felt like old friends. From nicknaming our wedding party to making sure we were hydrated, they made us feel so comfortable while helping to create and capture wonderful moments with our friends and family. Our getting ready photos were HILARIOUS. Let's just say fancy pinwheel sandwiches turned into eyeballs and winky faces got fierce in a hurry. So much fun to do and even more fun to see in a photo! The First Looks that I did with my father and my husband were moments that I will never forget. Not only did the photos turn out beautifully, but Rob really celebrated each moment with us. For example, when my dad was waiting to turn and look at me for the first time in my wedding gown, Rob reminded him that for 27 years, I've been his little girl, but that when he turned around, he would see me as the woman I have become. Needless to say, we were both sobbing happy tears when we saw each other. For the couple's First Look, we were both so nervous that we kind of just stared at each other, smiling. Then Rob told me to tell my fiance why I loved him. When I did, we not only had a beautiful moment on our wedding day, but also photographic evidence of my husband crying. Throughout the day, Rob was kind enough to take portraits of couples and families that were at our wedding- which our guests loved! How often do you get to have a professional photo taken of you and your loved ones in your Sunday best? Some of our favorite photos came from an unexpected photo shoot as the sun was getting low. Rob came up to us and said 'This is it! We've got like 5 minutes to capture this light! Let's go!' We loved the end result and we loved the spontaneity! It also provided us with a very intimate, sweet and romantic moment to share as a newly married couple. For me, this was that moment when time stopped, and all I could see was my husband. Our goal in the beginning was for someone to document our wedding day. But what Rob gave us was something much more than that. He captured exactly who we are as a couple, and as individuals, laughing, crying, and being silly. Most of all, he captured our love for one another and our families on one of the most important days of our lives. I wasn't just satisfied with our experience with Rob, I was greatly impressed. And so were all of our guests and other vendors. If you are looking for someone that will make your day run smoothly, teach you how to hold your train so it doesn't get dirty, take stunning photos that will make you relive each moment like it was yesterday, and who is just a real nice guy in general, Rob is your guy. Thank you for everything!” — Lauren Paaske
“Rob was absolutely fantastic. He handled everything throughout the day with a great deal of professionalism. He kept us on schedule which we both really liked. He was extremely patient at all times and always knew the right locations for the best pictures. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone and you will not be disappointed.” — Shaun Delhousay
“Rob and his team were a pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, Rob communicated his vision very professionally and clearly. We felt comfortable and trusted his plan would achieve an awesome representation of our family, friends and ceremony all at once. Thanks Rob for sharing your commitment and craft on our special day.” — Shannon Enox
“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Rob Greer and his assistant on our wedding day. The entire experience was well planned as every detail was accounted for. If you are looking for attention to detail, creativity and professionalism then Rob Greer Photography is the vendor for you on your special day. Make the investment as you will not regret it! Thanks again Rob.” — Nate White
“Rob Greer was a pleasure to work with. From our first initial meeting with Rob, he was detailed and thorough. My husband and I knew exactly what to expect when it came to the quality of our photos, details about pricing, and details concerning our engagement session and wedding day. Working with Rob was pretty straightforward and easy. During our engagement session, we were initially a little nervous. Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos in this fashion before. Rob was patient with us, even when I was a little tense because of my husband's goofiness. He was sure to take us step by step through the process. Rob produced such high quality engagement photos that I was not the least bit nervous for our wedding day coverage. When our big day arrived, Rob was not only on time, but early. This gave him and our second shooter time to take pictures of the details (e.g. invitation, flowers, newspaper for the day, shoes, dress, etc.). Rob made the engagement session and bridal party pictures a fun experience! He had many creative ideas on how to pose us, but also took all of our suggestions as well. So now, we have some really fun and fantastic photos of the men holding bouquets and the women holding the sabers. He even captured some of my favorite candid moments of the wedding. Everything that was planned in terms of photography, Rob Greer has delivered above and beyond our expectations!” — Jackie Lim
“Rob Greer has a great energy about him. He immediately won my bridesmaids over and got them to feel comfortable for the various pre-wedding photos. We were all laughing so hard at his jokes that we could barely stop smiling for the serious pictures! I've been a bridesmaid at weddings where the photographer is distant or kind of creepy, so I really appreciated Rob's personableness and professionalism. I will definitely recommend Rob to all my girlfriends as they prepare to walk the aisle!” — Nhi Khoan
“Rob is a terrific photographer with an eye for the ‘whole picture’, so to speak. He was extremely organized and helped us keep not only the photos but the wedding and reception on track. His confidence and leadership were very comforting to us as we fumbled our way through our first (and hopefully last) wedding. Rob possesses a keen artistic eye and uses it to make standard wedding poses fun and interesting. We loved his use of space and surrounding structures to give a surreal effect. He had the whole wedding party constantly laughing with his quips and helped everyone to feel right at home in front of the camera.” — Frank Clement
“Where to begin? Well, I looked at MANY different photographers and their wedding portfolios and none captured my attention like yours. The quality of pictures and the shots you took—I had to have you be my photographer. I was a little scared to find out how much you'd cost because your pictures were so superior to others I had seen and I was scared that I wouldn't like your personality as much as I liked your pictures. But, you were worth every penny and then some, and I walked out of our first meeting thinking, ‘He's the one!’ For several months I was really excited to work with you! Then came the engagement session. I knew it was be difficult to get my now husband to relax and loosen up but you made us feel so comfortable. The pictures were great, the experience was great—I can go on and on. Then came the wedding. You gave us what we wanted and more. I'm pretty self-conscious when it comes to taking pictures but I put all my faith in you and your direction and your talent and you never disappoint! If I could have you come with me and capture every important moment in my life I would. If I had to go back make the choice of photographer again, I wouldn't change a thing. If I know anybody that needs a photographer for anything, I would recommend you in a heartbeat. The entire experience was more than fantastic. I can't thank you enough for everything and for making it such a fun experience!” — Erika Garrido
“My partner and I got married on November 1, 2013 in California. I did a lot of online research. When I got to Rob Greer's website, I knew my search was over. His website, accolades, and photographs were quite impressive. The photographs were so detailed and exquisite and seem to capture the moment and emotions perfectly. You felt like you were there. I also read on the internet many reviews of past customers and they were a testimony to Rob's remarkable expertise. Many were like us, who had never taken professional photos before. We scheduled the engagement session with Rob for October 28, 2013. A week before the session the forecast called for rain on the day we were to shoot. I was a nervous wreck. I kept calling Rob worried about how the weather might affect our day. He was extremely patient and kind, assuring me it hardly ever rain in CA and it would work out. I must have called him 5 times over the course of the week. He assured me by some chance if it does rain we could schedule for another day. The session was awesome and it did not rain. Rob was just as nice and friendly in person as he was over the phone. He has a great sense of humor and was focused on making this a memorable, fun and relaxing experience. He is an artist behind the camera. He has an expert eye, direction, imagination and attention to detail. The end result was even beyond what we had hoped. The photos were spectacular. Every single person we have shared our pictures with were beyond impressed. Their positive responses just reinforced what we knew all along about choosing Rob. I strongly recommend Rob to anyone who desires their special day, event, wedding or engagement session to be photographed by one of the best in the business. You will not be disappointed. Your pictures tell a story that you want to always cherish. There is no one better than Rob Green, to entrust it will be done with great care, professionalism and to your full satisfaction.” — Guss Riddles
“When we googled ‘quirky photographer,’ little did we know that we'd find someone who would allow us to crawl under a railcar, chase after chickens, or include photos of Carol Burnett in our album. In short, thank you for humoring us. We've had a blast with you. Only someone with infinite skill (& patience) could have rolled with the punches while capturing photos that deliver so many different stories and emotions … sometimes within a single shot. You made it look easy. Clearly, it is not. We are thrilled with the photos and could not imagine having anyone else there for us that day. Period.” — Lesley Chiou
“I was probably one of the most particular brides Rob has worked with. I'm a film director and professional photographer as well. So, you can imagine what the screening process was for all of our vendors. The moment we met Rob, we knew that he was the right photographer. Of all of the photographers we met with—and we met with MANY, Rob was the only one that guaranteed that he'd be the one photographing our wedding. Other vendors would meet with us but then say that one of their associates would photograph it—meaning, we really wouldn't have any idea what the person's personality is like. My fiancé/husband is camera shy and it was very important for him to be acquainted with the photographer well before the wedding. Rob was also the only one we met with that had a great photo presentation without doing a hard sell on us. He gave us the room we needed to make our own decision so we could feel solid about it. Trust me, that's rare in the wedding industry! When the big day actually arrived, I got so much more than a photographer. While I had a ‘day of coordinator,’ nothing changed the fact that any payment issues, lost guests, etc. would end up coming through my mobile phone. I was so miserable and tired that morning. The moment Rob arrived, everything became more light and fun. He was ultimately the person who kept me sane in the midst of all of that chaos. Plus...he knows how to place a veil and bustle a dress! As someone in the arts, I'll say that his photography skills and professionalism is something we all aspire to. But as a bride, I'll say that I probably would have become a momentary bridezilla had he not been there. We're looking forward to someday having Rob photograph us on an anniversary and do portraits as our family grows. The wedding portraits and candids are amazing. He captured the beauty and importance of the day while also capturing the humor. He brings out the joy and sincerity out of anyone. He's the best there is.” — Jenny Januszewski
“I'm a guy who hates being the center of attention. So, the idea of having 60 people watching me take my vows and being photographed on top of it all was not my idea of a dream day. But after doing a ton of research and meeting more photographers than I ever thought possible, I/we realized that Rob was really they only way to go. He was great. I've got awesome photos that I not only feel comfortable displaying but am excited to.” — Jason Mendoza
“We couldn't be happier that we chose Rob to be the photographer to capture the most memorable day of our lives! We came across his pictures while browsing through numerous wedding blogs online. We really liked his style of photography. His pictures were a perfect blend of timeless/classic with added personality of the couple. He was the first and only photographer we met with and the easiest vendor we dealt with while planning our wedding. Rob is a true professional and very passionate about his work. He prepares you with many helpful documents and really guides you through the entire process. He responds quickly to email correspondences and always arrives early. On our wedding day, he started shooting 30 mins before our contract time and captured some spontaneous, fun photos of me and my bridesmaids! The day of the wedding went by so fast and certain moments were a blur, but Rob captured every meaningful moment in just one perfect picture. We didn't have a videographer and I don't regret it one bit because when I look at one of Rob's pictures, it tells the entire story of that moment. We attended 7 weddings this year, including our own, and we can't help but compare. Sure others had better floral arrangements, dance floor, or lighting, but we for sure had the best photographer! And as an added perk, Rob posts a few pictures on Facebook the very next day! We highly recommend Rob and can't thank him enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully.” — Grace Kim
“When looking for our photographer for our wedding, Rob Greer was one of the only ones that stood out from the rest. His pictures were absolutely stunning and really had that style of what we wanted in a photographer. We ultimately chose to go with Rob because we felt his pictures were timeless and beautiful and did not require a lot of filters like a lot of the more trendy photographers are using nowadays. This, of course, is a preference, but it was what we wanted. After we finally chose Rob, he sent us many documents with research on locations for our engagement session, what colors to wear, what time of day, and where we would need permits (if any). The man knows his stuff and you can tell it comes from just having tons of experience. Rob by far was the most professional of all of our vendors and knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done. We did both the engagement session and the wedding coverage with Rob. Both my wife and I are not really big into taking a lot of pictures of ourselves but Rob made it very easy for us and knew how to get the shots that he wanted. Sometimes it felt weird posing or standing a certain way but once we saw the end result, we had no complaints. Rob will get the shots and they will be amazing. The wedding day was a blur, but luckily Rob perfectly captured every major element of our wedding and we were able to relive it through the photos. He can really capture your day without having to take a bunch of random pictures. He does direct a little, but it really is worth it because the pictures from our wedding were amazing. Everyone comments on how great the pictures are and we wholeheartedly agree. If we had to do it all over again, we would only pick a few of the same vendors and Rob is for sure the first one we would call, and that can't be said for every one of our vendors - BELIEVE me.” — Tyler Yamasaki
“I met Rob a couple years ago when I was looking to have some photos taken for my costuming collection. Rob is nothing less than professional all the way around. In a studio setting, he has an eye for detail and will not take a photo until it is almost visually perfect. He doesn't miss anything and his photos show it! I've had photos taken by a variety of photographers before, but Rob Greer is by far and away one of the top photographers and I would recommend him to anyone looking for any photography needs from Head shots to Weddings, this is the man you want!” — Scott Allen
“Rob is so much more than a photographer. He gave us advice on all things wedding related. After our initial meeting with him we were so pumped and excited for our wedding day and our photographs! He was always very upfront and honest, and gave us the best advice for a smooth wedding and for great photos. He really connected with us and brought out the best in us. I absolutely recommend Rob!” — Lynn Thanarajakool
“Rob was a bit on the high end of our budget, but based on past reviews we decided to meet and see what he had to offer. The first thing I noticed upon meeting Rob at his home/office was how amazing the decor was. The landscaping was beautiful and the house was very tastefully done. I thought in my head...if this guy manages himself and his house so well, he has to be a real pro. My thoughts proved correct. Rob is an absolute pro that simply gets the job done with fantastic results. There were a lot of family to arrange and he handled them with aplomb. Rob managed to lower our stress levels and take charge when needed. I HIGHLY recommend Rob Greer photography. Great guy, beautiful pics, and the right attitude to get it done. He was worth every penny!” — Henry Alvarez Jr
“Hiring Rob Greer was the best decision we made for our wedding day other than saying ‘I do.’ From start to finish, from planning to execution, from a year out to day of, this man was SUPERB. We purchased the 2nd highest package (forgot what it's called) but it included the engagement photo session. Highly recommend that bc it was not just a blast, and very helpful getting to know Rob and his photography style, but we got some super cool, sexy, funky photos that people RAVED about. As we came closer to the date, Rob provided copious documents that had a plethora of helpful info. Info that not only pertained to photography, but just making our lives easier in preparing for our big day. He was the best at getting back to us in a timely manner. Emails and phone calls were all answered same day, and he always had an answer to all of our questions. He was fun and funny and even my shy, introverted husband was laughing and feeling comfortable at the end of our photo shoots. Our wedding photos are stunning and we get compliments on not just how great my husband and I look on our wedding day, but specifically on how gorgeous the photos are. He truly is an artist and a pleasure with which to work. Can't recommend this professional enough. He will make your life so much easier and provide you with the best photos you've ever taken. You might even find yourself Facebook friends down the line too.” — Katherine Reichman (via WeddingWire)
“Katherine [From The Knot]: Where to start... Rob put the ‘professional’ in his title of ‘wedding professional.’ He not only did his job as photographer by producing stunning photos, the caliber of which are displayed on his site, but he was a sheer delight with which to work. From engagement photos to our big day, he was prompt, prepared, fun and funny, and just made us feel so at ease. He even helped put out some fires the day of the wedding: way beyond his call of duty. He thinks of everything and helps you prepare for little details that make your life so much easier. He responds to calls and emails right away and is eager to do anything he can to get you what you want when you want it. We love our photos and get compliments from everyone on not just how great WE (my husband and I look) but on the photography work overall. They're not just photos- they're really like art. Sounds cheesy but it really is true- he is that good. We wish that all our vendors were as amazing as Rob! He's worth every penny and you should have him be your photographer too! Plus he snorts when he laughs and it's pretty disarming.” — Katherine Reichman (via The Knot)
“Highly recommend this fun, professional, talented & dedicated photographer! Rob was definitely one of our favorite wedding vendors. He was fantastic about following up with email, phone calls, etc. (which MANY of our other vendors were not) and his responses were actually helpful to boot! He put together these extremely in-depth PDFs chock-full of tips and tricks to make your day go smooth as can be. And we're not just talking things to make HIS job easier- I mean little details that simply help YOU have a successful big day! He was also super fun and easy-going when it came to snapping pics. We did the engagement shots and ended up with some sexy, edgy photos because we felt at ease and able to open up for that unique vibe. Which brings me to the actual photos. We probably got more compliments about our engagement and wedding photos than we did any other aspect of our wedding (almost as many as our personalized vows, written straight from our love-filled hearts). Everyone RAVED about the unique shots. They were a great blend of romantic, sexy, artsy, modern and vintage. He captures the love and happiness that's just radiating from you and your partner. Just take a look at his website and you'll see what I mean. On the actual wedding day, he continued his pattern of going above and beyond, helping squash tiffs and drama so they didn't interfere with my big day or stress me out. He had a list of day-of bridal emergency kit necessities, and even hunted down some of his own when we needed a pin and mine wasn't big enough. When I was searching for our coordinator or a family member, he or his assistant would help us hunt them down. And he also helped keep the night on track, alerting us when it was time to do the bouquet toss. Overall, you just plain want to hire this gentleman. Tried and true.” — Katherine Reichman (via Yelp)
“I had the pleasure to work with Rob Greer during my wedding ceremony. He shot both my engagement and wedding photos. Before hiring Rob, I did extensive research to find the perfect professional to record the most important day of my life. I was looking for someone that can take modern photographs with a delicate artistic touch. After reviewing dozens of options and comparing their final products, Rob's work really stood out. Rob focuses on simplicity, elegance, beauty and modernity. His pictures are clean, inspirational and profoundly reflect their subject. He is able to utilize the right lighting, props, poses and angles to create memorable photographs. He really understands what his clients are looking for and he is not afraid to push the envelope a little in order to create amazing memories. My partner and I felt really at ease during the photo shoots and my guests were very comfortable as well. Rob is extremely professional, well-mannered and attentive to all of our questions and requests. During my dinner party, he blended in like a chameleon which made the party much more pleasant. Bottom line: don't waste your precious time researching photographers; Rob is by far the best one in town.” — Same Sex Wedding (contractually anonymous)
“Rob was awesome. From the first meeting with him, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Obviously my husband and I liked his photography style (otherwise we wouldn't have met with him), but it was his approach that I really liked. Like me, he likes to be extremely organized about the day and will definitely help move you along to stay on track. He worked with us on getting the timeline down to what fit our schedule and budget and he definitely made it work! We have so many great pictures to choose from. He was great with the kids in the wedding party and got them all to laugh for the photos. I have so many comments from family and friends who were at the wedding about how much they liked the photographer. If Rob is in your budget, he is worth every penny!” — Alexandra Holtzman
“From the moment we saw Rob's photos, we knew we had to have him shoot our wedding. His work was so creative and fun, and showed that he had a great eye for what's important in a shot. On top of that, his approach to his job leaves you with no doubt you're in good hands. Rob is organized and methodical, and makes shooting with him easy and fun. We ended up with so many beautiful, print-worthy photos of ourselves and others, including my most reluctant family members. The day after our wedding, Rob had already created a small Facebook album where we could share some key photos with all of our friends and family. To this day we still get comments from people about how great our wedding photos are. Amid all the wedding albums on Facebook, people remember ours. I would love to hire Rob again, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer they can trust to get amazing, artistic photos of once-in-a-lifetime events.” — Evan Schiff
“Not only is a Rob an amazing photographer, he's also a genuinely great person. He has a wonderful ability to put people at ease so he can get the best pictures possible. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of the camera, but Rob changed that for us. He made taking pictures fun. We had a great time with Rob and we absolutely LOVE our wedding pictures. He is an artist.” — Jennifer Kline
“Hiring Rob Greer was the best decision we made for our wedding. We were initially impressed by the unique look and feel of his work, but his professionalism, vision, and ability to deliver what he promised (spectacular wedding photos) solidified our initial impressions and continually blew us away. What we loved about Rob is that he took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to get a sense of our expectations and what we really wanted to see in our wedding photos, and he was very, very professional in all our dealings. As we have seen and heard from many of our friends and family members who have dealt with wedding photographers, this is not often the case. Rob is a rare combination of an artist and businessman, so he is able to produce stunning photos that depict his unique style while, at the same time, making sure his clients are happy. The photos, as you will see, speak for themselves. In terms of flexibility, Rob runs a tight-ship both before and during the wedding and often demands certain things in terms of how and when the photos are taken. Thus, he is not the most ‘flexible’ photographer you will deal with. If you want a photographer that allows you to fully take charge, Rob is not your guy. If you want a photographer who can handle a large crowd and who can effectively direct the couple, the wedding party, and the respective families so that the process is as efficient as possible, Rob is your guy. We should know because we had over 40 people in our wedding party, and Rob was able to handle everything and keep us on schedule so that we could finish our photos and enjoy our wedding (this is important). Rob is very busy and his schedule often fills up well in advance. So, if you do want to hire him, we would recommend contacting him well in advance of your wedding date.” — John Harabedian
