About

hello and thanks for checking out my page on wedding wire. first of all, you will be spared any pseudo 'third person' text, supposedly written by someone else telling you how 'my inner soul is drawn to the intrinsic beauty of the sublime,' etc. geez, i don't know about you, but that kind of stuff turns my stomach.

anyway, i've worked for the key west citizen newspaper since 1997 and have shot countless weddings throughout the florida keys. if you're looking for a reasonably-priced photographer who actually IS a photojournalist, i invite you to check out my wedding galleries at roboneal.com. these days, anyone with a camera and a website considers themselves a 'photojournalistic wedding photographer.' a quick look at the images quickly debunks the claim.

another important point is that i don't just shoot weddings on saturday nights. i freelance regularly for the associated press and produce images on daily basis for the newspaper. i can't think of any better way to gain experience. the fact is, i absolutely love photography. i make annual trips to cuba that revolve around creating cool images, that's not to say i don't enjoy a little rum, but no matter where i go, i'm shooting something.

in addition to my 160-page coffee table book titled 'key west photo safari,' i produce a 12x12 wall calendar for the monroe county tourism council which showcases the stunning beauty of the florida keys. this year, i've been commissioned by margaritaville to produce a key west/immy buffett calendar for 2012.

please take a look at my work and let me know if i can be of service, i can assure you we'll have a great time together and you'll have something memorable to take with you.

My fiance and I both agreed that having a great photographer was one of the most important things to us. We quickly realized Rob O'Neal was who we had to have for our special day! We loved his journalistic approach to photography. The pictures were very natural which we really appreciated. We didn't want a bunch of posed photos with everyone just smiling and looking at the camera. The fact that he is a photojournalist and not just a wedding photographer, we felt would bring a different perspective and creativity to his pictures.

When I reached out to him, Rob let me know that he was recovering from an accident and did not want to promise that he'd be ready in time for our wedding. I told him that I'd check in with him in about a month or two to see how his recovery was going and if there was still a possibility that he might photograph our wedding. In my mind, there was NO ONE else that we wanted! A couple of months later he gave is a YES and let us know he would bring a photographer friend to help him cover the wedding because he still had some limited mobility. We were ecstatic!

Throughout the entire process, Rob was very easy to communicate with. On two occasions he made an impromptu trip to meet us out while we were in Key West prepping stuff for the wedding. The best way to describe him is he's someone you want to go hang out and grab a beer with. He showed genuine interest in us as a couple and our families and their story. On our wedding day he and his friend were on it! He was there from beginning to end. We had a torrential downpour during our outdoor and he was right there getting some great shots of the whole thing. He even stayed longer than he was supposed to just to make sure he got everything we wanted. The pictures were just BEAUTIFUL and everything we knew we could expect from Rob. We don't just consider him our wedding photographer but our friend and we really appreciate him as a person and artist. We highly recommend him to everyone!

Rob was to do our wedding but was unable to (at no fault of his own) after a terrible auto accident. He kept in touch thru every step. He replaced himself with one of his own mentors which scared us at first but was a blessing as the photos were great. Rob also found time to give us a free 2 hour casual shoot on the Island before the wedding to make up for the "trouble"...Rob it was no trouble at all both you and Rick did fabulous jobs both with the photos as well as with your customer service. Thanks

I don't even know where to begin --- My husband and I live in Denver, CO and wanted to take our immediate family to Key West, FL for our wedding celebration. Although I had 5 months to plan, I still had a really hard time finding a good photographer.....until Rob! We emailed back and forth several times, and once we got to Key West (2 days before the wedding), Rob made time to meet me, my husband, and my parents so that we could get acquainted before the actual day. He covered everything we needed to know and immediately felt comfortable with him - it's like he was part of the family! Every moment of the wedding day was captured and he even went out on a limb at a certain property in order to get us fun, creative pictures! And the final suprise: because it rained on our wedding day, he offered to meet us the next night to take a sunset photo if we were willing to get dressed up again :). Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate the entire 4 days we were there, but I really appreciated his offer! Thanks again for being a part of our day Rob- We will definitely look you up the next time we are there!
