Rob captured excellent pictures of my daughter's wedding. I'm an amateur photographer and I could not imagine making pictures like those that Rob made. As seen in my rating he was responsive and professional and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for event pictures. Great work!

My husband and I choose Rob and it was such a great experience! He took both our engagement photos and was there for our wedding day too. Both times we met, he was very punctual and throughout the whole process could not have been more professional and accommodating. The turn around time for our wedding photos was surprisingly fast and the quality he maintained was impressive. We, and our family and friends, really love the finished product! Highly recommend.

Rob showed up early at the bride's house to take photos, then went to the church and then to the reception. He took all the photos we had on our list and lots more candid shots. He worked very well with the guests and had good people skills. He was very unobtrusive and at the reception we often didn't even notice he was taking pictures. The shots turned out great and he had very quick turnaround time on getting the digital file to us. There are a lot of things to worry about in a wedding but Rob was not one of them. He is on time, professional and friendly.

Rob did our engagement photos too, which turned out beautiful, so we didn't worry about our wedding photos with him. He was early, he knew what he wanted to do, he handled our last minute pictures that we wanted to do too. He told us what to do and how to pose which is so nice, since I hate trying to figure out what pictures I wanted to do. We really liked working with Rob and will try to get him to do other pictures for us in the future. Thanks Rob!!

Rob Grant promised great photos with a journalistic style, and he delivered!!! He captured our very special day detail by detail, and he did it all without our guests even knowing he was there! Rob photographed our 120 person wedding with ease, and he did a really fantastic job! We were so grateful of his promptness, attention to detail, and creativity. Highly recommended!

I had a very hectic wedding due to people running late, rain and general chaos. Rob was always cool headed and listened to my requests while also making his own suggestions when he felt it was warranted. For instance, I had very specific shots I wanted to make sure I got, so he did not hesitate when I said, "I would like to do this shot now". But when it came to the location for the portraits, he made a suggestion for a better location that what I had picked. And now that I see the photos, I see that the alter was a much better spot that the staircase for all of those portraits. He has a laid back attitude which puts you at ease and you really feel like he is there for you, and not just there to do a job and get out. I enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him to others!

Rob was fantastic! He had great reviews, and offered a great price, and we were thrilled with the results. He was flexible on the hours and didn't charge us extra even though the whole day went a little longer than planned. He was friendly and professional but unobtrusive - we never felt like there was a camera in our face, but he managed to get all the important shots. He takes suggestions and direction really well, was up for trying anything, and happily complied with all my photo requests. The finished photos are lovely, and he did a bunch in black and white at my request. I think it was $2000 for the entire day/evening and then you get the rights to all the pics.

We are thrilled with Rob's services!

From our first chat on the phone, it was clear that Rob had a laid-back, pleasant, detail-oriented, and low-stress attitude. Before we even booked with him, he was sharing tips about our venue from his years of professional experience. He is pleasant, professional, and very responsive. During planning for our day, he never tried to convince us that more (or more expensive) coverage or options would be the right choice - he truly considered the needs of our day and our guests.

We had good communication in advance of our wedding day and knew what to expect. He arrived well in advance of his stated arrival time, and was pleasant and low-key during preparations for the day. I was particularly impressed with his day-off services: he was a constant presence (when looking for a quick group shot with friends or family, etc), but he was never demanding or really very noticeable! He was there when we were ready for him, but never pushy or very vocal. He seemed to document the day without interfering in the least, and kept us on schedule with a positive and fun demeanor.

Our edited photo discs were sent to us before we returned from the honeymoon, in a beautiful case adorned with our picture! And the quality of his photographs: excellent! He had a very challenging setting (backlighting during our ceremony), but you would never know: absolutely gorgeous!

We feel fortunate to have had a photographer that felt comfortable and friendly during our day, and created beautiful photos we'll always treasure.

Thank you, Rob!

Rob was very easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable. He was always super prompt in responding to any questions (whether in email or on the phone). I can't think of one photot shot that he didn't get which we wanted. He captured great memories for us and was a complete professional the entire time. We received the photos very quickly and the album which was made for us turned out beautiful and we were surprised how quickly it was completed. We would definitely recommend Rob to anyone looking for a qualified, super nice, professional, affordable and reliable photographer.

If I could give Rob more than 5 stars in each of these categories I definitely would! Rob was absolutely fantastic to work with on our wedding day! Upon first meeting with Rob we knew he had to be our photographer given his calm demeanor and engaging personality....plus it didn't hurt that he shared some of his beautiful photography with us too! Both my husband and I have fathers who are involved with photography and wanted to be our photographers for the wedding...which was out of the question : ), but Rob handled them beautifully and they both loved the pictures and had nothing but positive remarks to share about Rob! Rob ensured that the photography component ran as smoothly as possible even with tons of people around and having to manage large vs. individual shots throughout the day. Rob arrived early and stayed till the very end to ensure he captured every moment and he did so even better than we could have hoped! The pictures are absolutely stunning and demonstrate how hard Rob worked on our wedding day to ensure we were left with beautiful wedding memories. He will ensure you feel comfortable throughout the day and you won't even know he's there snapping away half the time given his non-intrusive approach. He has a wonderful sense of humor as well, which we found refreshing considering how much time we spent together on the wedding day! Rob had our photographs to us in less than 2 weeks and upon providing these to us, he packaged them in a beautiful keepsake case with a photograph from our wedding day; just another example of his thoughtfulness. If you're looking for a photographer for your big day, I highly recommend Rob! I can't say enough good things about him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
