About

A life and career in photography may have been destiny, but it was not always in my plans. Everything changed for me, a former Economics major, during a year abroad in Paris, France, with a photography class I took during my junior year in college. Imagine my parents’ surprise when I called them in the States to announce that I had found my passion: that I was, in fact, an artist with a penchant for photography - and one who loved working with people too!

In an age of digital photography, I meld computer skills and an eye for intimate, natural moments to create some of the most stunning images unlike any this region has ever seen. I love capturing real life moments: a father seeing his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time; parents adoring their newborn baby, or siblings being silly together. I believe that the job of a photographer is to create an image that depicts emotion, whether that emotion is joy or sorrow.

I create images that tell a story – a process that starts with getting to know my clients early, and making myself available to them from the moment their contract is signed. Many consider my style a quiet, laid-back approach, which helps my subjects’ natural personalities shine through. Always dedicated to a perfect celebration, I freely share referrals of other expert vendors with my couples.

Excellent quality, Awesome person

Robert is an excellent photographer. His pictures are stunning. He is very personable and easy to work with. On our wedding day, he had an excellent team with him to capture additional shots. We could tell he was very experienced and knew what shots would look good. He took extra time to make sure things were done right. When our day of event coordinator said things had to be a certain way, he was a great advocate for us. Robert's experience, professionalism, attention to detail, and calming approach make him a fantastic photographer to work with. We highly recommend Robert to anyone.

Best of the Best

I could basically write an essay on how wonderful Robert and his team were. And how they absolutely got the vibe. The pictures were just beyond anything I expected. Still astonished at how quickly and intuitively he got us, our friends and family, and what we wanted in terms of the photos. Especially given that this was an out-of-town wedding and we hadn’t met in person before.

He and his team put everyone at ease. Were so kind and encouraging (especially considering a relatively photo-shy bride and groom). They just made everything so pleasant and relaxing. Even my husband – who HATES taking photos – had fun and enjoyed himself!

If you want a smart, funny, kind, and chill person who is also amazing at what they do (without any ego whatsoever), Robert is the person for you. So many guests asked me how I found my photographer because they were so impressed by him and his team. Quietly amazing is how I would describe him. His work speaks for itself. Best of the best.

Wonderful, positive

Robert and his team were absolutely wonderful! They were so encouraging throughout the whole process. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We had so much fun with our engagement shoot and on the actually wedding day we felt like movie stars! We had the time of our lives and it is all beautifully documented. I highly recommend Robert and his whole team!

Most Talented Photographer!!

Robert Radifera is the most talented photographer! I have worked with Robert through my career in interiors, but never in a personal capacity. Next thing you know I was engaged and setting a wedding date and in need of a photographer. I knew in my heart it would be Robert. Robert has made every shoot I’ve been with him on energetic, inspirational, creative, and purely joyful. His positive energy is contagious. He will set ease to a busy day and always keep it the most fun filled memorable experience. He is one of a kind and you don't want to miss the opportunity to work with a professional who only wants to make their craft better every day. Call Robert right away!

Amazing Fairy Tale Rustic Chic Barn Wedding

Robert and his work are amazing! My husband and I couldn't be more happy with the beautiful photos he took at our wedding! Well worth the wait! From the beginning when choosing a photographer, Robert was very efficient in responding to my many interview questions and able to provide us example photos from other weddings he shot at our Venue at Mount Ida Barn which were very helpful! Very easy to work with and even met with us when we were in town to go over some details. Captured wonderful memories that will last a lifetime, and very blessed to have gotten the opportunity to work with him and have him apart of our special day! Highly recommend! Will definitely use him again in the future!

Robert and his team were an absolute joy to have as my wedding photographer. They are all so personable, kind, funny, and really make you feel comfortable in front of the lens. He never fails to amaze me with his keen vision for the perfect shot. They go above and beyond to make sure every special moment of your wedding is captured. In my own words, he is “freaking amazing”!!! 

Robert was amazing to work with! He was quick with his responses and answered my (millions) of questions happily. Our first time meeting him was the day we did our engagement photos and he made us feel so at ease and as un-awkward as possible. He is so genuinely kind, has a great sense of humor, and is up for anything you suggest! He will do what he can to make it work! He worked his butt off at our wedding, too. He got at least one picture of every person there and was running around trying to capture everything. Our guests were commenting to us on how hard he was working! He is absolutely worth every penny and we are so glad we found him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
