Natural photography captured by a great guy!

Rob captured our wedding day so beautifully and with such ease. Half the time we didn’t even know he was there, allowing us to be fully present with one another and with our guests. During those times, he sneakily captured the raw emotions and natural beauty of our day. During posed photos, he provided the guidance needed, but ensured we were comfortable and never overly staged. Not only were we 110% pleased with the final gallery Rob provided, but we loved working with him from start to finish. From our first meeting through the big day, he was clear, thorough, & communicative; he was attentive & thoughtful; and overall a genuinely good guy. He went above and beyond for us… He stayed past the allotted time without charging extra. He was flexible through all of the covid changes. He gave us a gift on our wedding day. He mingled with our friends & family. And providing the personalized USB with all of the photos is such a nice touch! Rob takes a genuine interest in his couples, which puts him above so many other wedding vendors. Thank you again, Rob. We would share a beer with you any day!

Highly recommend!

When I look back on mine and my husbands wedding day, our photographs are what we have to physically look back on, and we can’t thank Rob enough for giving us exactly what we wanted. We are able to look at every special moment of that day in pictures, they all turned out amazing. The engagement photos are the same too. Working with Rob and his assistant Morgan was fun and easy going. Both of them listened and gave us what we asked for. He helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us suggestions and directions when needed. Months later Rob is still communicable and helpful with questions that we have, we can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Rob for helping us remember one of the most special days of our life!

The photographer for you!

If you’re looking for a photographer than look no further. Rob was amazing to work with. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Rob on our engagement shoot and wedding photos. He was great and coaching us with poses. He went above and beyond for us when our camera wasn’t working on our wedding day. He used his own camera to record our ceremony and we are truly grateful for that. All our guest had nothing but wonderful things to say about Rob. We will definitely be hiring Rob for our future photography needs.

5* photographer!

Rob is the most lovely man and best photographer for your wedding! He was super helpful and responsive leading up to the day, helping us to curate our timeline, giving feedback and providing suggestions on locations for photos, etc. On the day he made us feel so at ease and we loved spending the time being photographed by him! The finished results were stunning, we're over the moon with the amount and quality of the photos we received. Rob accurately captured the characters of our guests, details of the day and everything in between!

Rob Hickey - Recommend 100%!

We originally reached out to Rob because based on his portfolio, he has a great eye for lighting and documentary style/candid photography. We chose to do our engagement shoot and wedding photos with him. We were certain we made the right choice after our engagement shoot! Not only is his work amazing, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and just really really easy to work with from the start.

My fiance and I were both quite nervous going into the engagement shoot, and my fiance is NOT one to like getting photos taken, but we instantly felt so comfortable with Rob and had such a fun time working with him! He is really great at setting up a pose to look like a natural interaction, which is exactly what we were looking for. (My mom looked at the pictures and said "Wow, he made you guys look like models!" LOL)

Both for our engagement shoot and wedding photos, Rob independently scouted the locations ahead of time, which really impressed us. It just shows his dedication!

Our wedding was May 30th - we're a few months out from it now and looking back, there's nothing we would change about working with Rob. Not only was it a super fun experience having him spend the day with us, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. He has been super responsive to all of our emails/questions and gave us a clear timeline for when to expect the photos back. It was also a really quick turnaround for us, which was awesome. Our families and friends LOVE the photos he took and everyone else who interacted with him day of felt that same instant comfort. We recommend him 100%. THANK YOU, ROB!

Highly recommend!

Rob was a blast to work with! He made us feel comfortable the whole day and he fit in like he was one of our family friends. He was very accommodating/flexible and quick to respond with any of our questions leading up to the wedding day. We also got our wedding photos back quickly and they are amazing! He did a beautiful job capturing all the different moments of the day. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone!

Great experience, beautiful photos!

We are so happy we chose Rob to photograph our wedding! He has a very calming presence and was easy to work with. We had a winter-time engagement session, which went really well and gave me a lot of confidence that our wedding would go well. On our wedding day, Rob was timely and communicative. We picked the package that included a 2nd photographer. Morgan was great to work with as well. The pictures turned out beautifully and really captured the joy of the day. I could not be happier with our experience!

We could not be happier!

From the beginning, Rob was responsive and easy to work with. He laid out everything so clearly and was genuinely interested in capturing the moments we wanted and candids throughout our whole day.
Rob not only worked well with us but our guests as well! Our wedding party consisted of many parents of young children. He made all the formal shots short and sweet. Our wedding party could not stop praising Rob. He went above and beyond taking formal shots of our guests and their families as requested.
From the gorgeous staged photos to the precious candid shots, we absolutely recommend Rob as a wedding photographer.

Talented and Personable Photographer!

My husband and I were so pleased with Rob's work. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with him and his team. From the first time we met him for our engagement pictures, we felt at ease with his friendliness and flexible style! He blended his professional skills and artistic eye with our own quirkiness and casual style. The photos did not feel staged and he produced absolutely beautiful results. At our wedding, he and Morgan were a delight and just the right photographers we could have hoped to share our special day with. We hope to work with him again and highly recommend him to any couple looking for authentic photos and a photographer genuinely interested in your story!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
