    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.

    Robert Radifera Photography's reply:

    Anna, Thank you for the very best review I could ever ask for. I appreciate it so much! My team and I loved your wedding and spending a joyful day with you and your guests was just the best!

    Thank you so much Charlotte! Big hugs to you and the family! Hope to see you this spring for some family portraits:)

    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!

    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!

    Robert Radifera Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Kendal! I appreciate the kind words! You and Matt had a spectacular wedding day and I am grateful to have played a small part.

    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 Radifera Photography's reply:

    Thank you SO much for the awesome review Katy! It means so much and I am incredibly grateful to have met you and Kevin. Please stay in touch!

    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 Radifera Photography's reply:

    Brandi! Thank you so much for the very kind review. We all had a great time documenting your day and the smiles on your faces only made us work harder:) I think you guys are pretty freaking awesome as well. I'll be in touch soon with a sneak peek...promise!

    Robert is not only a talented and amazing photographer but also an amazing person. His eye for detail and beauty is impeccable, but it's really his kindness and sincerity that brings out the best shots in his subjects. He and his team worked so well with our vendors and they made it a point to make us feel comfortable and confident in our pictures. Our guest raved about how much they loved our photographer.
    Robert is also incredibly generous. He offered to meet with us many times for a walkthrough with our vendor and really listened to the types of photos we wanted from our special day. We are combing through our photos now and can't believe how many great shots he captured, we're finding it hard to choose the ones we would like print for gifts and put together in a book.

    A great photographer is essential for capturing those special moments on your big day-especially as the day flies by so quickly. Memories are difficult to rely on, so great photos help you relive those moments.

    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 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!!

    Working with Robert was an absolute dream! During our search for a wedding photographer, we came across Robert's profile and absolutely loved his work. Once I had the chance to speak with him over the phone, I knew we had found our photographer! Robert clearly explained his process, costs, and wedding packages, and I felt he picked up on our aesthetic and vision just from our first phone call. We were so impressed with his work and professionalism from our engagement shoot. We had to meet at the edge of a forest at the crack of dawn in order to catch the cooler August morning and Robert was so flexible. He just made the whole process fun and so memorable, despite the August heat once we reached mid-morning! During our wedding, Robert did a fantastic job rounding up the wedding party and family members for the major pictures. I had also listed a collection of "special moments" we wanted to capture and Robert captured each one. We recently received all the photos and we were just so impressed! He captured the day and our loved ones beautifully. Robert was not only a pleasure to work with because he is professional, but he is also so pleasant and he makes the entire environment feel fun and relaxed (which is what you need on your wedding day!). We really could not have asked for a better experience!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Robert. From beginning to end, Robert was accommodating, perceptive, professional and - importantly on the big day - delightful to be around. Robert is reasonably priced and over delivers at every opportunity. It's evident that he's incredibly passionate about what he does and that is what is driving him. Our pictures were beautiful (engagement and wedding) and we will cherish them forever. We'd highly recommend him to any future bride and groom!

    A great experience from start to finish. I was a long distance bride and he worked with me to make sure my vision of the day was captured for eternity! Thanks again Robert and Team!!!

    Robert and his team were awesome! I planned my entire wedding from abroad and it was super important to me that my vendors were responsive, trustworthy and understood what I was looking for without me having to meet them and go through all the traditional processeses. We clicked on the phone and rest is "fabulous photos"!!!!

    Robert and his team were amazing! My husband and I didn't want a super long, drawn out photography session, but instead wanted to get to our guests. Robert knew our feelings on where we wanted to spend the majority of our time, and worked with us to make the whole wedding photography thing fun and stress-free.

    Robert was a dream to work with! Our photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY, and we are so happy we chose to have Robert be such a big part of the day...those photos last forever, people! Choosing a talented photographer is so important. Not only is Robert incredibly good at the actual photography part, but what makes him so special is his genuine care for his clients. He showed an honest interest in our "story", and wanted to know our vision, style, personalities, and really spent time getting to know us. We ended up chatting over coffee for 2 hours during our initial consultation, and it was soooo natural and easy, like talking with an old friend. Robert is so easy to get along with and really put us at ease throughout the wedding day. We don't love having our picture taken, but he has a way of making you feel so relaxed and natural, and it shows in the pictures! We will forever cherish our wedding photos and are so grateful that Robert Radifera came into our lives.

    Could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding! Robert is an incredibly talented and hard-working photographer while also being a bright, friendly, easy-going and thoughtful person. He came highly recommended by our wonderful wedding planner and after looking through his portfolio, we were pretty much sold. Upon meeting him, we knew that we would get along well and were so excited to work with him and have him be the one to capture our special day. Leading up to the big day, he was great with communication - always quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. He asked what things about the wedding were most important us, what family and group photos we wanted, etc always emphasizing what would make us most happy to see looking back on our wedding day. We especially wanted to include our sweet, happy and sometimes hyper golden retriever in our day-of pictures and Robert was so patient and got amazing shots with him, along with many, many more that we absolutely love and cherish. Very highly recommend!!

    Robert was absolutely amazing! He impressed all of our family and friends with his willingness to get the perfect picture. He was down on the ground, in the grass, dirt, and bushes to ensure he got the best shot. In addition to his amazing craft, he has the best personality anyone could ask for. He is wonderful when it comes to working with all ages (2 to 92)! My niece (4) and nephew (2), who were our flower girl and ring bearer, adore Robert! I highly recommend him for documenting any life event!

    Robert was an absolutely phenomenal photographer. His experience and expertise were so evident not only to me but so many of our guests commented on his professionalism as well. For example, I was committed to doing a receiving line and he had suggestions of when and how to time the receiving line to be finished in time to get the best light for the formal photos. I couldn't believe how many formal, family and group photos he was able to capture in such a short period of time. He was fun to work with, so gracious to our guests and it was wonderful to see an artist in action. I guess the bottom line is that our wedding photos surpassed my expectations and I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to have framed and hung in our home. A few of our guests who have seen our photos are going to use him as their photographer for upcoming weddings because a) they too were so impressed with his photographs but b) he truly is an expert at what he does and his experience really showed. I appreciate that he thought to take so many wonderful photos that I didn't think of (up close shots of my dress, floral bouquets, candids and formals, the venue). I couldn't recommend him more highly!
