About

My vision is to capture the essence of your special day through the medium of storytelling. At the heart of my approach lies the strong belief that your wedding is not just an event; it’s the culmination of your lives so far both with and without each other. It’s the intricacies, your hopes, fears and dreams all intertwined to create a wonderful narrative like no other.

My background in art direction has enabled me to take a unique approach to documenting your wedding. Above all else I believe in the power of asking the right questions beforehand so that I can truly understand your journey as a couple. My goal is to seamlessly blend into the fabric of your day, ensuring that the flow remains uninterrupted while I’m documenting every authentic moment.

Having said that, it’s important to note that i am most certainly not a stand alone documentary photographer. I like to replicate the energy of a wedding day and read when it’s important to get in close and also know when it's crucial to step back and let the magic unfold.

While it’s common for many photographers to define themselves by a specific feel or style - a choice I respect, I personally find confining myself to one genre to be creatively restrictive and ultimately to the detriment of the couple. what i prefer to do is draw from a wealth of experience and blur the lines between genres in collaboration with you both, offering a new unparalleled perspective that adds an irreplaceable layer to the day.

Above and Beyond

Rob was hands down the best choice for our wedding! We were super excited about him being part of our day, He totally delivered the goods!

He stuck around till the party ended at 1am, sent us some sneak peeks the next day, and nailed capturing every single moment.

His photos? Absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, can't recommend Rob enough!

Fantastic photographer who can translate your vision into reality

Highly recommended Rob for your wedding.

He helps make everything as stress-free as possible. From the initial Zoom call to coordinating on the day, Rob was always on hand to reassure you.

Rob worked incredibly hard over a 12+ hour day with multiple locations including the hotel in the morning and some very busy streets in Soho. He made sure we got all the family and group photos as well as the more candid moments we wanted throughout the day.

Rob is not only a fantastic photographer who can translate your vision into reality but someone you can feel instantly comfortable around. Great for a couple who don't like their pictures being taken!
