About

On most weekends you can find Robert ('Bobby') photographing weddings—either in New York (where he lives) or farther a field: in various locations around the US and abroad. Bobby finds wedding ceremonies to be more than just a series of actions, people, and images to be "captured," but rather recognizes them as events full of deep personal and cultural significance, particular to a specific time and place and community. As such, he assumes the responsibility of documenting these moments with great respect, believing them to be deserving of a discerning eye and an artistic hand. In this way, he hopes to help each couple honor the beauty not only of age-old traditions, but also the distinctive and meaningful celebrations fashioned by those couples. Bobby enjoys getting to know each one of his clients through the places, symbols, rituals, and yes—food-- that are unique to their tradition and infuses those elements into the story he tells through pictures. Bobby applies the same personal perspective and distinct artistic flair to all of his photographic endeavors. By working with a limited number of couples and developing a rapport with each allows couples to represent their natural and best selves, couples simply love to work with him.

Named among the "Best wedding photographers in New York" by Conde Nast Brides Magazine, listed by New York Magazine as one of the top wedding photographers since 2009 and is an International Award Wedding Member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association

Perfect photographer

Everything about working with Bobby was perfect from start to finish. Not only are all the photos spectacular, but he was so easy to work with. He knew exactly what we wanted and was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Outside of the pictures themselves, which are stunning, we loved how low-key Bobby was. It felt like he blended into the wedding and the photos all feel organic and natural as a result, which is exactly what we wanted. I cannot say enough good things!

The best!

Bobby was simply outstanding. We were looking for someone who could give us a bit more of an artistic feel, while still providing the more traditional family portraits. He did all that, and more. Our photos came back STUNNING. He got so many amazing candids, made sure to bring us outside for a few minutes while the sun was setting, but also didn't take us away from the party for too long. He's just a pro. He got us our photos back quickly and we can't stop looking at them.

We couldn't recommend Bobby more, he's the best choice we made for our wedding. You won't regret it.

Best wedding photographer!

Bobby is as good as it gets in this industry. The planning leading up to the wedding was professional, flexible and very seamless. Photographs on the wedding day itself ran smoothly despite having to mobilize 16+ friends in the rain & 40+ family members and when we saw the preview of the photos, we were SPEECHLESS. The photographs were beautiful and captured the laughs, smiles, love & pure joy that was felt throughout the evening, not to mention the perfect midnight pictures on NYE!
