    Amazing Wedding Photographer

    Rob was our wedding photographer this past October and he was amazing. Both he and his second shooter (Asa, I think) were so energetic and excited but in a way that didn't feel cumbersome in any way.

    Our pictures turned out beautiful. One of the reasons we chose Rob is because his photography style is timeless, yet still modern. A lot of photographers we looked at heavily edited photos and they all had a moody vibe, which is also beautiful, but we wanted something a little more classic.

    One of my favorite things about working with Rob was how he would help direct us into poses and natural situations that made for beautiful candids. He'd even come over and mimic what he was going for to show an example and help us understand the shot. I don't love being photographed and I was nervous about hating how I looked in photos, but I love every single one. A huge part of that was Rob's direction and how comfortable he made us.

    Rob and Asa were so dedicated to getting us beautiful shots. They were everywhere and nowhere all at the same time and became such a special part of our day.

    (Not to mention, he had the best pricing packages out of everyone we looked at.)

    100% would book again and highly recommend them for any wedding or photography needs you have!

    Great photographer

    Rob was excellent to work with for our wedding. He was always quick to respond, organized, and professional. He familiarized himself with our venue and knew exactly where to go for photos. I would absolutely recommend Rob for wedding or any other professional photography.

    Wonderful Experience & Exceptional Service

    Rob is the photographer you want to hire for your wedding. We met Rob at our friends' destination wedding and it was highlighted to us then his attention to detail and friendliness with guests and other vendors. After witnessing him in session and seeing the photos afterward, we decided to hire him to shoot our wedding and that was one of the best decisions. He was very quick to respond to our inquiries and shared his insights and ideas. During the wedding day, he was patient with us and made sure to capture all the moments we discussed prior. He went above and beyond and we are very happy with his service. Thank you, Rob! You are amazing!

    Great experience!

    Highly recommend Rob for wedding photography! Rob shot our engagement session and our wedding day. In addition to many beautiful photos, Rob was super on top of all the details. He helped us scout photo locations, even visiting the spot in advance and thinking about details such as how wet the grass might be, he helped me with my wedding day timeline, and he is super prompt with email responses and answering questions. I felt very confident on my wedding day that i didn't have to worry at all about the photography. I also really appreciated that he offers a second shooter for a very low cost - that allowed us to have two shooters for the first look and ceremony without breaking the bank. Great experience overall and I received many compliments from my guests about him!

    Our Favorite Vendor of the Day! Exceeded our Expectations!

    Rob was by far our favorite vendor on our wedding day. We used his 8-9 hour package with 2 shooters and opted to get to know him better with getting our engagement pictures with him. Rob is a truly refined photographer. He gives great cues along the way to make sure everyone looks good in the photos, avoids being over-posed, and captures all the special candid moments along the way. Rob was our most responsive vendor-always emailing back within 24 hours. He also had such a calming presence on the big day. He truly exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend him!

    Great photographer, great experience!

    I first met Rob when I was playing organ for another couple's wedding, and noticed Rob's respectful approach during the ceremony, his relaxed and professional style, the efficiency of his movements, and the courtesy with which he treated his second shooter. Having handled the music for many, many weddings, I've had the chance to experience many photographers and their styles, so I knew Rob would be a good choice. He was great to work with from the very beginning; he was calm, kind, and knew what questions to ask so that he could give his best. You can expect prompt emails and a lot of flexibility on the day.

    Highly recommend

    We cannot say enough great things about working with Rob for our wedding day! From day one, Rob was very quick to respond to email/phone calls. Being an out of town couple, he was able to work with us over the phone for all of our needs. Leading up to the day, we filled out a detailed questionnaire that covered things one could easily forget. The day of our wedding, Rob walked in, knew everyones name and knew exactly how to get us started with getting ready photos. His calm demeanor really gave me confidence that he was going to get all the shots we needed without missing any. The weather didn't cooperate on our wedding day, but Rob had some ideas using the decor of our venue to help get some great group shots. After receiving our photos online, my husband and I could not be more impressed with his style and eye for detail. Again, highly recommend!

    Incredible posed and candid photographs!

    We absolutely loved working with Rob! During our consultation, he listened closely to what we wanted our wedding photos to look like and was willing to do anything necessary to deliver that to us. During our wedding day, he was always there to capture those memorable moments (both planned and spontaneous). Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and we could not be happier with our decision to hire Rob.

    Great Photographer

    Having Rob as our Photographer was really a great experience! He was laid back and was helpful coordinating everything for our day. We love our photos and they came back quick! He was flexible when we had to move our wedding and was willing to work with anything we threw at him.

    Above and Beyond Photographer!

    There isn't enough time or space to give Rob all the praise he deserves! He is incredibly professional yet easy and fun to work with but more importantly, he is organized, very detail oriented, and knows exactly what to do to ensure that everything goes smoothly on your wedding day from a photography standpoint! The quality of the experience of working with Rob in addition to the quality of the work he delivers are the reasons why I would highly recommend him to everyone! From our engagement session to our wedding day, it was always abundantly clear that his #1 priority was to genuinely invest in providing us with the highest quality of service and photography which is exactly what he delivered! What truly impressed me is that he seemed to consistently go above and beyond and out of his way to make sure he was prepared and able to deliver 110%. Bottom line advice - never pass up the opportunity to work with Rob if you get the chance!

    Outstanding Wedding Photography

    Having Rob as the photographer was probably the best decision we made for our wedding. He was so easy to work with and captured every part of the day beautifully. We had so many guests comment on how great he was throughout the day and night. The formal photos were just stunning and for people like us who feel a little awkward in front of a camera, he was really helpful with making everything feel relaxed while still guiding us to the right angles and positions. All of the photos look so bright and natural and we could not be happier with how they turned out. I especially love that we have so many candids of moments we didn’t even get to see throughout the evening. I HIGHLY recommend Rob Hickey for your wedding!!

    Amazing Photographs!

    My wife and I are so happy we chose to go with Rob. He’s very skilled professional but also is a great person which makes him easy to work with and talk to. His second photographer was wonderful as well. Our photos turned out amazing and we love when we look back at them every so often. He put all our photos on a gallery website with a password so it made it super easy to share our photos with all our wedding guests. From photos taken outside in the rain to the ones taken inside on a dark dance floor, the quality of the images are for sure professional quality! We would recommend Rob Hickey to anyone in need of a wedding photographer.

    Magical memories captured

    If you want the true magic of your day captured, then you should hire Rob Hickey to be your wedding photographer. Not only is Rob exceptionally easygoing, he's also incredibly professional. He has a quick, artistic eye and knows how to get an incredible shot at every turn. Photography was a top priority for us, and Rob exceeded our expectations. His photojournalistic approach allows for many candid moments and had everyone at the wedding very relaxed in front of the camera. Our photos look timeless and sophisticated. We would also recommend booking Rob for an engagement shoot because not only do the photos look great, but you have the opportunity to work with him prior to the big day and get familiar with his style. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

    Amazing! Captured all the emotions you want to see at a wedding and more!

    First thing we did after our engagement was search for a venue and photographer. Rob was our first pick and we are so happy he was available. From the start Rob was very responsive especially during the pandemic. We lived in VA so trying to find a weekend where we could meet and do our engagement photos was tough. He gave us a few spots for us to pick from and as soon as we were ready he planned out everything, from where we were going to start, poses, and we even started to improvise. His pictures were amazing, he really kept us engaged, knew when to get our attention and when to let us be natural with each other. He captured all the right moments, the laughter, the love and the candid. He sent us all the photos leaving us to decide which ones we wanted which is more than we could have asked for.

    Wedding day, Rob and his second were amazing. The pictures from the bridal suite with the girls getting ready were so much fun, and he caught all the fun pictures. During the ceremony, and the reception, Rob captured all aspects that made the venue and party so spectacular. It was a blast for us to relive moments, and experience moments for the first time through his pictures. Besides being a great photographer, he was such an amazing person to have on our special day. He kept the energy light and positive even in stressful moments. We were truly honored and grateful to get to know him and have him photograph our day!

    Rob helped make our day perfect!

    Rob was amazing. My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better photographer to so perfectly capture our very non-traditional wedding day! We had a spot picked out for our outdoor ceremony and some other loose ideas in mind, but Rob helped with more research and planning out our day. He was very accessible and made the whole process SO easy. My husband and I aren’t much for taking pictures—didn’t have any engagement photos or anything done, so Rob tailored to our personalities more and did mostly candid photos, but the posed photos didn’t feel awkward, weren’t excessive, and came out so beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend Rob for anyone needing anything from a laid back family portrait session to a full day of wedding photos.
