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.

Reviews of Robert Radifera Photography

Robert was absolutely wonderful to work with! He worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator and our guests, and his work was fantastic. I especially appreciated how he captured special moments without being distracting during the actual events (he was able to capture all of the crucial moments while everyone just went about their day not thinking about photography). Further, he took wonderful portraits of the kids that parents really appreciated.

He is extremely organized, efficient and easy to communicate with. Although we lived far away from our wedding venue, Robert made it easy to set up meetings and could not have been more accommodating. Thank you Robert!

We hired Robert for our wedding at Trump Winery in Charlotresville. We began the process about a year out from our wedding date, and we truly appreciated how quickly he responded to all questions that we had. His professionalism and love for photography was evident from day one. The pictures turned out beautiful, as expected!! No need to look around all the different websites for recommendations; his work is A+. Highly recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Robert Radifera is an amazing photographer who has been in the business of producing gorgeous images of couples on their most special day for years. It shows in his work how much he pays attention to detail and is always in the right place to capture those unforgettable moment. He is a joy to work with and always up for going on an adventure to capture some of our most beautiful spots on the property. I don't think I've seen Robert without a smile on his face and a charming upbeat attitude making it easy for couples to be themselves and relax in front of the camera. Pictures are the one thing you can take away from your BIG DAY and Robert is someone I always recommend to my couples!
