Incredible Photos!
We did a ton of research on potential photographers for our wedding, but Robert was the one and only photographer we met with - after seeing his photos, we knew we didn't want anyone else to shoot our wedding! The wedding photos are better than we even could have imagined. We received them a few days ago, and still cannot stop staring at them. Not only are they beautiful, but Robert also captured so many little moments from our wedding day - hugs and tears and glances - that make them so special to look through and such a great reminder of the day. Robert was also professional and easy to work with. He didn't leave the wedding until making sure every single photo we wanted had been taken. I cannot recommend him highly enough. -

We chose Robert because his moody shots stood out among the wedding photography we’d seen and his work did not disappoint. Our photos are absolutely stunning - we’ve gotten so many compliments. He and his team really captured every moment perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will cherish these photos forever. Truly, we can’t stop looking at them and it’s been almost a month since we’ve received them! On top of that, Robert was incredibly easy to work with. His laid back approach made us feel at ease. Would recommend Robert without any hesitation. He’s the best! -

I came across Robert’s instagram a few days after getting engaged and just knew I had to have him shoot our wedding. We met with him (on zoom during Covid) and knew we were going to book him before we even booked our venue. Once we finalized our venue we immediately booked and are so happy we did. He is literally one of the coolest, chillest people you will ever meet and takes the time to get to know his couples and understand your vision. He was organized, personable, and kind during the entire process as well as on our wedding day. It was literally like having a friend walk around and take our photos. He fit right in with the group and we had a great time working with him. We loved all of our photos so much from the engagement shoot to the wedding day, he is really so incredibly talented at taking amazing photos that capture all the emotions! -

When your wedding photog is THE BEST!
First and foremost we want to share how grateful we are, Robert and his team captured the most beautiful pictures of our special day.
My husband and I hired Robert not only because of his work ethic, professionalism and photographic style, but because of his passion to capture the essence of a special moment. We were and still are in awe of every single image taken at our wedding. Thanks to Robert we can re-live the magic of our wedding day for the rest of our lives.

We worked with Robert for our engagement photos, our city hall ceremony, and our reception. We actually booked him before we even got engaged because I knew the proposal was coming, and we knew vendors were going to hook up fast for 2022 weddings. We had an initial consultation with him and knew immediately he was who we wanted to hire. And he was so much fun to work with! So down to earth and easy to communicate with. It really felt like a long-time friend was behind the camera when we did our photos each time. He followed us around the city and captured our special moments perfectly. Any time we need professional photos in the future I will 100% book him. -

Robert was a literal dream come true. We had a few meetings planned with other wedding photographers, but as soon as we met with Robert, we knew exactly that we only wanted to work with him. We met for a drink to chat about his work and our expectations and it was like we had been friends for years. He understood our vision, what was important to us and provided excellent suggestions.
The package we chose included both engagement photos and wedding/reception photos.I couldn't have asked for better photos to remember a whirlwind of a day. I knew that I wanted candid shots, as well as the typical bride/groom photos and he provided both with ease.
Robert's ability to always find the best light, colors and backdrop is a talent that not everyone has. He blended in perfectly with our guests. Everyone, including our parents, were impressed with his friendly candor and ability to have fun but also get the job done. I would, without a doubt, recommend Robert for your big events in life. He is a true professional, an excellent communicator and is really the best at his craft. Thank you for our photos which will last a lifetime! -

Robert exceeded our expectations!
Robert exceeded our expectations in so many ways as our wedding photographer and captured the absolute best moments from our wedding. One thing I was looking for in a photographer was someone to capture the moments that weren’t staged. The raw, unfiltered moments that show the true emotion that we felt, and Robert did just that and more. We met with Robert before our engagement shoot for a drink so we can get to know eachother. Robert is kind, understanding and just a cool person to be around. He made us feel calm and comfortable. His photos from our engagement shoot and wedding wound up being everything we could have asked for and more! We would recommend Robert to absolutely anyone looking for someone to capture thier big day in the best way!!

Your search is over!
Robert is simply the best. As a former professional model for over 10 years I knew my search for a wedding photographer would feel almost impossible. After MANY months of searching and many profiles viewed my exasperated husband showed me Robert's profile off Instagram and I just knew he was it. Fast forward to our first video call where his cool calm demeanor sealed the deal. He confidently explained to me that while I had extensive experience in front of the camera that wedding photography entails more then getting the shot. It's knowing when and where to be, its corralling everyone from aunt sue to your maid of honor, its politely getting random people passing by OUT of your shots, its having a running list of every photo you know you want (and some you didn't know you wanted) in your head. Robert does ALL of this and more. In addition to his beautiful style and way of editing you get his years of knowledge. In an industry that is full of over the top personalities Robert is a breath of fresh air and a calm that you will need on your big day. Book him and you will not regret it. -

Robert took our engagement pictures a few months before the wedding. We grabbed a drink with Robert and got to know him more which helped make us feel more comfortable taking pictures with him. They turned out amazing and it was the perfect opportunity for us to understand his photography style in action before the wedding. Robert was a pleasure to work with both professionally and personally leading up to the wedding and especially on the day of the wedding itself. His calm demeanor, along with his incredible second shooter, Jen, helped us stay comfortable and relaxed while taking pictures (and in hot NYC August heat too!). Robert and Jen were genuinely fun to have around on our wedding day. When our coordinator wasn't with us to take pictures in Dumbo, Robert took lead in successfully navigating our large bridal party. Somehow, Robert and Jen managed to make every single one of our guests look their best in our wedding photos. Our experience on our wedding day and the pictures with our memories are perfect and we couldn't recommend Robert enough. Our wedding photographer was the most important vendor for us to book and Robert exceeded our expectations!! -

Like every bride on here, my fiance and I felt the same way. We are VERY picky when it comes to photos. I looked at over 20 different photographers before finding Robert. From the moment we spoke, i knew he was the perfect choice. He works off of the couple, and before we booked him, he wanted to meet us, to get to know our "vibe". Throughout Covid, he has been flexible, and caring. I know as a bride this year has been extremely hard, but every vendor is also going through the same thing. Robert has been so professional, and has made us at ease with everything that is going on. We can't wait until 10/9/2021! -

Robert popped up on our search for a photographer and from the moment we saw his photo style we were hooked. We love the way he captures candid moments so effortlessly and doesn’t necessarily “stage” his photos. We loved his previous work and decided to meet with him for a drink to talk more. We felt immediately comfortable and left knowing he would be our photographer and we were SO EXCITED. Well, then COVID happened. We didn’t know what we were going to do but we felt hellbent on pushing forward and having a wedding of some capacity. Robert assured us he would work with us this year or we could postpone until next year. We felt relieved he was so helpful and understanding. Robert and his second shooter, Jen, were so professional and calm during our big day. They listened to all of my crazy ideas (bridezilla) and got SO MANY awesome shots. When we received our photos we were blown away. They are absolutely gorgeous, timeless and elegant. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about how beautiful every photo turned out. We would recommend Robert and Jen 10x over. They are so kind and were truly so good at their job. They helped make our hectic stressful COVID wedding feel perfect and flawless! -

When our photographer pulled out less than a month before our wedding, we went off of a friend's recommendation and called Robert. Thank GOD that photographer pulled out. Robert went out of his way, changing his travel plans to accommodate us. We met with Robert before our wedding and he immediately put us at ease - he is down to earth and gives off extremely calming vibes. On the day of - it was like having a friend hanging out taking photos. When we got our photos back my jaw was on the ground. There are no words to describe how amazing they are - we could have not asked for better photos, the most important memory of a day that went by in a blink. Friends who saw could not commenting that they were the best wedding photos they had ever seen. If you don't have a photographer booked - book Robert IMMEDIATELY. -

Best Wedding Vendor/Partner We Had
We were so impressed seeing Robert in action at one of our best friend's weddings that we made sure he was the first vendor we booked for our wedding - a solid 2 years in advance of the day. We were immediately struck by his uncanny ability to be everywhere at once and capture in-the-moment pictures that were just as amazing as the poised and posed shots. There was no doubt that he had to be part of our special day! And we were lucky to book him when we did - he’s definitely in demand (so book him ASAP).
Rarely have I been so impressed with a photographer's work. His passion for what he does comes through in every photo and his excitement and energy helped remove any nerves we had in front of the camera. He was willing to go anywhere and everywhere to capture the shots we had envisioned and those we hadn't - he quickly registered the room aesthetics or spaces throughout Nomad so we could get truly unique shots to commemorate the day. He was able to seamlessly herd two large and loud Italian/Irish families into perfect shots in a quick and efficient way - there was no loitering (and for that, grandma was especially appreciative).
You can trust Robert to capture your day in the best possible way, from those tiny details you put so much time and energy into, to the love and excitement that will undoubtedly permeate your celebration.
We couldn't recommend Robert more! That is all. -

Jennifer Sent on 11/10/2019I only regret that I have but one wedding for him to shoot.
If you want a photographer you can trust implicitly, then stop right here and hire Robert. With a level of talent that can only be described as wild yet casual, I only regret that I have but one wedding for him to shoot. And once I get our shots, I can't guarantee I won't try to ask my husband to do it again- just for the photos.
When it came to wedding photography, I had a general idea of what I wanted but was looking to have more of a collaboration with our photographer rather than handing him a list of shots I wanted. I am generally a pain in the ass when it comes to aesthetics, and somehow Robert not only got into my head to make my visions come true, he far exceeded my expectations and threw in a healthy dose of ideas I didn't even know I wanted for my day. We also had engagement shots done with him last year, getting a sneak peek of his talent, but I was truly blown away when he shot our wedding.
Robert is quietly passionate and fiercely talented in a fashion that is truly unparalleled, and it shows in his product. What's even more comforting- especially on what is a truly hectic and stressful day- is his laid back, casual professionalism. He manages groups of people so insanely well and with an abundance of patience that doesn't betray a single ounce of panic on his part. He also works incredibly well on the fly and will work with you seamlessly in the event that things go a little belly-up. Robert knows his stuff and if you let him, he will make gods out of monsters for you. Hire him or let him be a favorite secret for a select few- the choice is yours. -

Marie G. Sent on 01/11/2020Skilled photographer, stunning photos!
Robert is a seasoned professional and his dramatic, intimate photography style beautifully captured our fall wedding in Astoria in November 2019. Through his experienced lens, he was able to document so many lovely moments with me, my husband & our dog before the reception, and during the event, he was everywhere at once shooting all the action! The results were stunning, and with all the amazing shots he gave us, the hardest part was selecting which pictures to frame. Robert is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend! -
