There are honestly no words that feel big enough to express how grateful we are that we found Vild to capture our wedding day. Choosing our photographer and videographer was one of the most important decisions we made, because we knew that once the day was over, the photos and video would be what allowed us to go back and experience it all over again. They exceeded every expectation we had.

From the very beginning, they were so kind, patient, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. They took the time to get to know us, understand what mattered to us, and capture our wedding in a way that felt completely authentic to who we are.

Our wedding day went by unbelievably fast. There were moments we barely had time to process before they were gone, and moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Somehow, they captured all of them—the big moments, the tiny moments, the laughter, the emotions, the people we love, and all of the little details we put so much heart into.

But what makes their work so special is that they didn’t just capture what our wedding looked like. They captured what it felt like.

When we look at our photos, we don’t just see beautiful pictures. We remember exactly how we felt standing next to each other. We remember the people surrounding us. We remember the laughter, the nerves, the excitement, and the overwhelming feeling of realizing that this was the day we had been waiting for. And our video gives us something even more priceless—the ability to hear the voices, see the movement, relive the emotions, and experience pieces of the day that we would otherwise only have memories of.

They gave us the gift of being able to remember our wedding not just as a collection of moments, but as a feeling.

And honestly, the best compliment we can give them is that we don’t want this to be the last time they photograph us.

We hope they will be there for the chapters of our lives that come next—the anniversaries, the milestones, the family moments, and all of the beautiful things we haven’t even experienced yet. We already know that when another important moment comes along, they will be the first people we think of. We want to continue growing with them and have them capture our lives as our story continues.

We started this process looking for a photographer and videographer for our wedding, but we feel like we found people we genuinely want to keep in our lives for the years to come.

Thank you for giving us something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for seeing the little moments, capturing the emotions, and preserving a day that we wish we could relive a thousand times over. We will forever be grateful for what you created for us, and we cannot wait for you to capture whatever comes next.

If you’re considering booking them, do it. You will never regret investing in memories you get to keep forever.

WOW. Rob and M are amazing. Easily one of the best vendor decisions we made.

Choosing our photographer was the one vendor decision we put the most thought into. We looked through what felt like every photographer in Tahoe before choosing VILD, and it was for good reason—they are PROS at what they do.

They were professional, organized, fun to work with, and made the whole day feel easy. We also couldn't believe Rob had our preview gallery ready the day after the wedding. Like... come on!

Their background in landscape photography was a huge reason we booked them, and they absolutely NAILED it. They captured both us and the beauty of Tahoe so perfectly. We even did a one-hour session the next day, and we're honestly blown away by how epic those photos turned out.

We can't recommend VILD enough. Not only are they incredibly talented, but Rob and M are just genuinely good people. Thanks for capturing our day so perfectly!!

Rob and Marie from VILD Photography made our engagement and wedding experience unforgettable. From our June 2025 engagement session at Logan Shoals to our wedding on June 14, 2026 (starting at The Landing Resort and moving to Heavenly Lakeside Lodge), they captured our story beautifully. Rob is a top-notch photographer with an incredible eye for light and emotion. He and Marie worked as a dynamic duo, making us feel like longtime friends the entire day. They told our love story through stunning organized and candid moments, preserving memories that feel timeless. Marie's exceptional organization kept us informed and confident, providing all the thoughtful details that helped every bride feel comfortable.

My dad summed it up perfectly: "Rob wasn't simply taking pictures -- he was preserving treasured memories." He was especially moved by the iconic shot of us atop the majestic granite boulder high above Lake Tahoe. If you want talented, caring photographers who will make your day relaxed and capture it perfectly, choose VILD. We couldn't recommend them more!

We live in Germany, and we chose Tahoe as our wedding location. Coordinating with vendors 6000 miles away can be, unsurprisingly, a bit complicated. Thankfully, Rob and M did not add to this complication. Nay, they in fact removed any complication. They are so good at what they do, that a single phone call, a few emails, and an online form was enough for them to know exactly what we wanted and to absolutely nail it. Their quick and thoughtful responses made it feel like there was no distance or time difference between us.

The actual wedding day was smooth as can be, and they both took all of our myriad requests in stride. From assisting us with our DIY videography setup to requesting a specific song from the band (with whom they happened to be friends), they were so accommodating and had a vested interest in making this the best day possible for us.

Our wedding was just as much a celebration of our community as our relationship (that’s why you get everyone together, isn’t it?), so we asked Vild to focus on taking photos that our guests would enjoy as well. They more than understood the assignment, as evidenced by the reception photos that beautifully convey motion and emotion all at once. Both Rob and M have such a knack for making what is already fun seem even more convivial. They were absolutely all over the place, capturing practically every moment being simultaneously unintrusive.

Throughout the experience, it was very clear that they know how important and special this day and experience is for their clients. Nothing exemplified this more than the fact that they had a preview gallery ready for us the very next day (a Saturday no less). As amateur photographers, we know how much effort goes into poring through thousands of photos in order to find the few great photos that exist in there, so what they did was nothing short of wizardry. Even in this small preview gallery, we could identify dozens of photos worthy of hanging as prints on our walls, as they are perfect and creative compositions. This artistry is exactly why we chose Vild in the first place, and we are so thrilled with the results.

Overall, our experience with Rob and M was incredible and we cannot recommend them enough. The only regret we have is that we don't live in the Tahoe area to have the opportunity to get to know these two more and make friends!

If you are going to splurge on a vendor, do it with Vild. At the end of the day, your wedding photos will be much sweeter after a year than that piece of freezer-burned wedding cake, and they’ll certainly outlast it. Stop looking around and book Vild now!

As an officiant, it is great to watch other vendors and see how professional they perform. Such was the case with Rob last Sunday on the Tahoe Bleu Wave at Kate and Cal's wedding. The couple and the rest of the 13 guests loved him. I found it interesting that he was giving directions to the boat captain in order to obtain the best lighting on the subjects. He had evidently prearranged such, and the captain was more than willing to accommodate him. Great job Rob. I hope we work more weddings together.

I'm a trained photographer with a degree in photojournalism. For our wedding we shopped around a ton and Vild was the clear winner.

1) Composition - This ain't Rob's first wedding. I've photographed a couple weddings for friends and did a decent job. Rob takes it to another level as if he's mind reading you and your wedding guests. The number of amazing candid moments Vild got were off the charts, including being really well positioned anticipating the candid reception hugs with our parents. In that moment Rob captured legitimately the happiest I have ever seen my dad.

2) Technical proficiency. Rob knows his stuff, and his images are flawless. He works well in that wedding season summer midday sun which is pretty harsh to shoot in, and as the light improves in the evening his work really comes alive in excellent detail in highlights and lowlights (darker areas) and super well done contrast (gives the image that extra pro look).

3) Handling the crowd and herding the cats. There's a lot of people at the wedding, and for group portraits Vild moved everyone along very professionally. The only thing I would have changed here is picking our group portrait spot ahead of time with Vild as we ended up on fairly un-even ground, so the larger group photos are quite slanted in terms of everyones heights.

4) Dance photos - As a photographer I know it's sometimes dance photos are show up with the right flash, couple settings, and you can blow people's minds with the pics. Rob brought it again to another level! Instead of using one flash on the camera like normal, he also had a second setup across the dance floor as a backlight, sort of making his own stage lighting. He then used a way to focus the flash on his camera to be really narrow, and only hit just the couple people in the center of the frame which makes the image feel really intimate and magical (see the sequin tux jacket photo in this review)

5) Nice! It was just nice working with Vild. You spend a lot of your wedding day with your photographers, and they were great to work with. I had one impromptu request to take some reception portraits in a spot more wind-sheltered, as I knew my mom with her thin hair wouldn't be happy with the original spot. Rob set it up on the fly and got one of the best photos we have of my immediate family.

We had the best experience with Vild - Marie was very responsive and was a tremendous help throughout the wedding process, especially with the timeline. Day of, Marie & Rob were AMAZING - so much so that I had guests telling me how great the photographers were. They were organized, professional and were everywhere, capturing the day perfectly. My husband and I aren’t the most photogenic people but you wouldn’t able to tell based on the photos, which were stunning. I HIGHLY recommend Vild - you couldn’t have a better wedding photographer duo!

Rob & M at VILD Photography were our "big splurge" vendor for our winter wedding on Lake Tahoe in January 2024, and they were worth every. single. penny. From a wonderful engagement photo session at Sand Harbor to our wedding at Sunnyside over a year later, VILD was with us every step of the way. They were professional and fun, got our preview photos out within 24 hours of our wedding (amazing!!) and we just got the final full album- WOW. I cannot say enough good things about them. I wanted to capture the love and fun on our wedding day, unique and entertaining guest experiences, our months of planning DIY details, and especially convey the natural beauty of the landscape where we said our vows- and we got all of that and more. Thanks Rob and M!! -Kelsey&Chase 1.14.2024

If you're looking for the BEST photographer in NorCal region then VILD is who you are looking for. I'm SO happy I was able to book them 1 year before my wedding because they do book out fast. The day of the wedding they brought all of the fun and positive energy, all of my wedding party loved them. I'm not the best at posing for photos so I loved that they told me and my fiance how to pose and provided tips throughout the shoot.

Can't say enough good things about Vild Photography, our wedding photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. Rob + M are such a great team and went above and beyond to help us get our wedding day perfect. They are very easy to work and would recommend them to just about everybody.
