Rob was professional, communicated well, and his skill is simply stunning. As a person of color it can be hard to find a good photographer , and when I tell you he nailed it, I truly mean it. I couldn't be happier with out pictures

Words do not exist to describe what a gift Rob has. We were married at Overlook Barn on October 1st, 2023 and we are so grateful that Rob and Kristen were there to not only capture our special moments, but to spend the day with us! He and Kristen are truly a dream team! We were fortunate enough to have an engagement shoot with Rob a year prior to the wedding and he was so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We told him what we were looking for in our photos and he not only recommended a place, but his calming presence is key if you are even remotely nervous in front of a camera. He has a true artistic eye, he is efficient with time while also being extremely attentive to detail. The day of the wedding Rob would capture a shot and then turn the camera around to show us his work for a split second - it was moments like these that showed how passionate he was about his work, how excited he was to share it with us, and how much he truly cared that we liked the result. If you are looking to hire a separate videographer for your wedding day - Rob + Kristen work extremely well with (yet another husband wife duo) Brandon and Jana, at A Thousand Crane Productions!

My husband and I hired Rob and his team as the photographer for our wedding this past May and it was one of the best decisions we made! After seeing the final photo gallery, I was truly blown away by the attention to detail and quality of the photos! Rob and his team were very friendly, put us at ease, and were professional throughout the multiple events we had during our wedding weekend. Even our other vendors complimented how Rob took command and made things go smoothly. He took some incredible shots that truly captured the love and joy that was expressed during the weekend events. He offered kind words of encouragement when we were feeling stressed. During the ceremonies he took a great mix of portrait and group shots, along with some creative pictures of the decorations and items used in the ceremony. For the baraat, Rob and crew were in the middle of the crowd of people dancing the whole time. This allowed them to take so many fun shots of all our friends and family dancing with the groom before the wedding.

Our wedding day ended up being rainy, but Rob was able to use his experience and creativity to overcome these obstacles, and we ended up taking pictures on the golf course with his beautiful, clear umbrellas. Much to our surprise, these umbrella photos ended up being some of our favorites from the weekend! During the reception, Rob guided us to the locations he picked out for our family photos, and coordinated with the DJ to rapidly bring each table to the dance floor to take a picture with us. We asked Rob for ideas of our exit, and were able to have him capture our family and friends showering us with dried lavender! We will cherish these photos forever and are able to relive each moment from the weekend. We can't thank Rob and his team enough for all of their dedication throughout the weekend, and being flexible with timelines and weather issues and handling it with confidence. We were delighted that Rob shared photos earlier than anticipated. If you need an amazing, creative, and highly knowledgeable photographer for your upcoming event, do yourself a favor and hire Rob!!

I can't say enough good things about this photography studio!

As someone already prone to feeling awkward, I had an extra dash of nervousness around taking photos. Rob defused any notions of awkwardness. We chose to have Engagement photos taken before the wedding, and our photo session felt as though we were simply walking around the park with our friend. The posing felt natural and the photos were stunning. We enjoyed getting to repeat the process for our wedding day. Rob and his partner were a joy to be around and when they would set up a staged shot, it still felt very natural.

My favorite photos, though, were the ones of all the guests! It was so lovely to see everyone having a good time. They did a great job of capturing candid interactions (especially dancing).

You only get to bring a few things home from your wedding, and I’d argue that photos are the most important. With Rob, you always get good photos!

Rob’s photos speak for themselves, so I don’t really need to gush about how beautifully the photos turned out. I will gush about how great it was to work with Rob. He was by far my favourite vendor to work with. Super professional, easy to talk to, and so fun to work with! 10/10 would recommend.

Rob Tesar exceeded all my expectations! He is a talented photographer producing high quality, beautiful color and lighting photographs. What was so wonderful is his ability to capture precious moments, capture expressions, and memories I forgot or wanted to relive all over again. As a bride you can’t be in all places at all times, and Rob magically was, I don’t think he missed anything, and you never knew he was there. I received a preview shortly after the wedding of some highlights, and then the “gallery” of photos a few weeks later. The sight makes it easy to share, download, or order directly. My friends and family are “obsessed” with the photos, as am I! I am so happy I went with Rob Tesar Photography.

Rob kept everything moving smoothly on day of and was able to really capture the essence of our party. We could not be happier with our pictures and Rob!

Rob & Kristen captured my elopement during the Era of COVID in the most beautiful way! I was already obsessed with their Instagram (check it out fall in love), but everything from that first phone call, to the constant communication with us from their part, their professionalism, and once we met them in person they are so fun, funny and helpful. They were flexible, when we unfortunately had to change our plans once we couldn't have our 100 person by Lake Norman wedding in 2020 to an elopement just my husband and I in Charleston. I will be using them again for family pictures and other events, and if I had to redo this day would hire them again in a heartbeat. They had great ideas and we let them have creative control because we trusted end results would be amazing, we just went with whatever they asked us to do. Everyone who has seen our pictures always gasps at certain shots, remarking how beautiful it all is. Because of them we were able to share our wedding story with all of our friends and family who were not able to be there. Do yourself favor and hire them!

Rob + Kristen were the absolute best duo for our wedding. Not only were their photos beyond incredible (seriously, we love them all), they are such great people to be around. Choosing a wedding photographer was the one item that caused me the most angst. The best advice I got was to choose someone who a) you like their photos and b) you get along with because you end up spending A LOT of time together on the wedding day. We loved the albums we got to preview and had a zoom call with Rob and Kristen to get to know them/ask them any questions before hiring them. They were so down to earth and I think we all ended up chatting for way longer than we planned! We were able to do an engagement shoot session - which again I had a lot of angst about - what do we do for two hours?? - but Rob and Kristen made it so easy and comfortable. They were able to scout out the perfect backgrounds for some really freaking cool photos and had the perfect balance of artsy photos and more standard portrait type. Fast forward to the wedding day and they were equally wonderful! We were focused on getting all of our photos done before the ceremony so that we could enjoy as much time as possible with friends/family at the reception. Rob + Kristen were super accommodating and made sure we were able to get all the pictures we wanted, but stayed on schedule so no one was late for the ceremony! They were extremely organized and had a shot list ready to go for all of our family photos, bridal party, etc., that we wanted to get. They were able to get amazing shots throughout the day but we never felt like they were there/in our way. For both our engagement shoot and the wedding day we wanted to make sure we got some photos with our dogs. Rob + Kristen were great with the pups and had some pretty great tricks up their sleeves to get them to pose right for the camera. We could not recommend these guys more!

We cannot imagine better photographers than Rob + Kristen! Our engagement photos are beautiful. We have many unique photos (falling flowers from a tree, light prisms, and shots from the ground up through wildflowers to name a few!) in addition to more traditional photos that are also stunning. We cannot wait to see all of our wedding photos. One of the truly wonderful things about Rob + Kristen is how they made our wedding process and day so special! Even before our wedding they guided us through timing of our wedding day to make sure we captured the best lighting and provided numerous vendor suggestions to us at our request. On the day of our wedding, Rob + Kristen guided us through pictures and made our wedding party laugh while doing so. They went above and beyond by helping restyle flowers on our welcome sign, helping a family member with mobility challenges throughout the night, helping to calm our nerves before our first look, carrying tissues in case we needed them and even helping with the bustle of my bridal gown! We received several comments throughout the day and night from our wedding party and guests who commented about how great both Rob + Kristen are, which was so wonderful for us to hear. Rob + Kristen absolutely went above and beyond for us throughout our entire wedding process, and we are so grateful to them for their attention to detail, patience, and thoughtfulness. We had such an amazing experience with Rob + Kristen and cannot recommend them highly enough!!
