Rob Greer Photography

It was around one year before our wedding that I was actually looking for photographer for other needs, but when I came across Rob’s portfolio website, I was immediately intrigued and sent the link to my wife saying «This is the photographer we need for our wedding!!», and that was exactly what we did.
As Photographer, Rob is talented, experienced, fun, engaging, and always given the right advice or joke to bring the best sides out of you. With him in helm at your photoshoot, there was no worry whatsoever.
As Professional, Rob is detailed oriented, providing lots of pre-​shoot planning advices and follow up to make sure everything during the wedding day will go smoothly and swiftly. Honest and direct, Rob is firm, but flexible at the same time. He demands certain requirements, but all will prove as the better options for the best result, but if you do have difficulty or certain requirement, he will work with you on the best possible solution without compromise the quality of the shoot.
The SHOOT! At the day of wedding, Rob was fun, engaging, and in charge of all time. Our groomsmen and bride’s maids are not so photogenic, but Rob was able to find ways to bring out the best sides of them. Jokes and laughs where throughout the shoot, which make the long photography session pleasant and swift at best. All our wedding party and family members love Rob!
The PHOTOS! Rob’s work is clean, natural, but timeless. His composition is simple at first glance, but magically attractive. The focus will always on you and only the necessary elements needed at the time to create the perfect sentimental moment with intriguing elegance. We have awesome shots that Rob curated, but there were also many shots of unexpected yet priceless emotion been captured even without our awareness.
Pick Rob as your wedding photographer, stunning photos you will get is a sure thing, but the great shooting experience he will bring is truly incredible and wonderful!

I was searching for a photographer in Los Angeles that could shoot something really stylish for me and Rob fit the bill. I mean, his photos belong at an art exhibit or something.
He coached me through the whole session and made me feel like a master model doing a photo shoot. And he had his high end lighting setup down pat. Just about every photo he took is completely usable. Very impressed.

I don’t really write Unilocal reviews, not even for 5-​star dining experiences at hot restaurants in the city. But we had such an amazing experience with Rob that I wanted to make sure people know that there’s only one photographer you should ever work with.
I was searching for a good photographer in LA/​OC area to take maternity photos/​family portraits. I had recommendations from friends but I wasn’t quite sold on their style of photography. I wanted a talent with a modern creative approach with a little bit of quirk. I didn’t want cheesy at all! I mean, I can get behind cheesy as long as it is done in a funny or a clever way. I browsed online for potential photographers and found a couple of good ones but decided to go with Rob as I found his portfolio to be very interesting and non-​cheesy!
The moment I reached out to Rob via email, he displayed professionalism and responsiveness. I expected that he would be very busy and pretty much booked for the rest of the year, but I was ecstatic that we could get on his calendar despite his busy schedule. On our shoot day, Rob was actually sick but that didn’t prevent him from doing his best work and capturing the right moments.
We absolutely love our photos! They turned out classy and timeless, with a unique creative twist. You’d think that he was taking one shot but then you look at the final photos and you then realize he was capturing something completely different — whether that’s zooming in on a certain angle or taking a wide shot, they all came out beautiful but still focused on us as the subjects while taking advantage of our surroundings. He also incorporated our French bulldog in a lot of our photos, which we loved. Our dog is so spoiled and we treat her like our baby, so having her be part of our photos was amazing.
Will definitely recommend Rob to friends and family and I look forward to working with him again in the future to take more family portraits when my baby arrives! Rob’s services is definitely money well-​spent.

I don’t write a lot of reviews — but when you set the bar high, and the person exceeds every one of your expectations… it’s impossible to not want to share that.
We hired Rob to shoot our wedding — and it was love at first meeting. The thing that I noticed about his photographs as opposed to others is that everyone from bride to groom to guest all looked relaxed in his photos. Now having hired and gone through with him shooting our wedding — he was funny, calm, and professional… and often totally stealth. Looking at our album, I had no idea how he got all the shots he did because I totally forgot he was there half the time.
Our pictures are incredible. I am not big into putting up pictures of yourself around the house, but honestly his photos are equal part sentimental and artwork and beg to be hung up.

I met Rob a couple years ago when I was looking to have some photos taken for my costuming collection. Rob is nothing less than professional all the way around. In a studio setting, he has an eye for detail and will not take a photo until it is almost visually perfect. He doesn’t miss anything and his photos show it! I’ve had photos taken by a variety of photographers before, but Rob Greer is by far and away one of the top photographers and I would recommend him to anyone looking for any photography needs from Head shots to Weddings, this is the man you want!

I am a three time Rob Greer customer. The pictures that he takes are absolutely gorgeous! Rob’s photos are the ones that you can’t wait to show off to others. In fact, his pictures will probably be the best photographs that you will ever own; the ones you keep going back to over the years. This latest family photo shoot was no different. Rob has a cool confidence about him, and you feel totally at ease knowing that he has an artistic vision that you can trust. He jokes around with my children to bring out the most natural smiles out of them. My wife and I were admiring how beautiful the images of our children were, and said to each other why do we even bother to pay for «school» pictures? Rob’s pictures document our children’s growth in such an amazing and profound way, I’m sure I will be returning to him again real soon. Thanks Rob!

If you want a great wedding photographer, go with Rob. In my view, it’s that simple. He has mastered the «standard» wedding photographs (and you do want those), but he will also deliver those signature «Rob Greer» images that capture everything you’re hoping for in a wedding. He photographed ours several weeks ago and I can definitively state that we could not be happier with both the day and with the results. The lighting (4 pm outdoors) was very tough, but Rob had the technical chops to make that a non-​issue. He was sufficiently «take charge» to push through the mandatory scores of «group» photos («Let’s have Mom with the Bride… now add in Dad…») that had to be done on a tight time line, but he did it with such a light touch and good humor that he was able to capture authentic smiles from everyone. In our «bride and groom» location shots, he composed beautiful images that will stay with us forever. He’s great at the «set shots», and he’s also great a capturing those great moments — not just in the raw photography, but also in the editing. He’s a consummate professional, and a great guy as well. The photographer ends up being a very significant participant in this important day, so you want someone who has Rob’s type of personality. He’s very friendly and open, but without being overly familiar or intrusive. He listens, but he also directs — reading the mood and context as to which approach would be most appropriate and helpful in the moment. I have written very FEW Unilocal reviews, but we just had to write one for Rob — he earned it!

Our first and favorite. I knew from the moment that I happened upon Rob’s portfolio online that I needed him to be our wedding photographer. We interviewed several others, but we were not only blown away by the quality of his photos, but the knowledge and obsessive detail-​orientation that he brings to the craft.
We have not been disappointed. Rob photographed our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and big day. Here’s why you should hire Rob in a nutshell:
1) His images are timeless — all his photos are centered around people, not the background. His eye for detail is unparalleled, and his photos are the type that will remain relevant today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
2) He makes taking photos fun — we had many folks in our wedding party that weren’t the most jazzed about having their picture taken, but they were converts after Rob. Whether it is making up funny nicknames, cracking jokes, or just generally being the coolest dude ever, he makes you want to laugh, smile, and most importantly, want to become his best friend. Multiple friends have commented on the experience being the best they ever had with a photographer.
3) He tells it to you straight /​knows his stuff — Rob knows what is good and bad, and we have trusted his professional judgment on all things related to the wedding. He was an essential part of planning our details for the big day, and helped advise our other vendors about placement, timing, etc. Look no former than the wedding planning portion of his website to know that he knows what works and what doesn’t — Rob’s know how allows him to secure all the little details necessary to get that perfect shot.
4) Follows through and follows up — You’re not just another client to Rob. He’s in demand and can be choosy about who he works with (he caps how many weddings he takes on in a year). He truly wants to ensure the best possible outcome for all of his clients, and goes out of the way to check in, both before and after the wedding, to not only make sure what he needs is secured, but also to provide perspective and feedback on what would be best overall for your big day.
BOTTOM LINE — Our first vendor, our favorite vendor. BOOK HIM, and book him fast, else someone else is going to get lucky and you’ll be missing out.

Rob was a true pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond. He literally helped create an entire timeline for our wedding and made the entire weekend as seamless and organized as possible. His second shooter, Vanessa was wonderful as well. Rob is simply the best!

We had a wonderful experience with Rob. From the very beginning he was responsive via e-​mail and available by phone. We got to meet with him personally to go over details before hiring him on, it really helped to see if we would mesh well. My husband and him hit it off right away and that’s when I knew that Rob would be our photographer. He’s funny and outgoing, he made the whole wedding party laugh and have a great time. My husband who dislikes getting his photo taken said that being photographer together by Rob was his favorite part of the whole wedding, that really tells you something there! Rob really knows how to capture the moment and make everything look stunning, he has a great eye for detail. The end result are amazing photos that we will cherish forever! We plan to hire him again, this time for family photos :)

Rob Greer is a fabulous! Rob made the process easy, comfortable and fun. He was great at communicating, finding out what we liked and capturing it. Since our wedding, we have received countless compliments about the photos. They are crisp, clean and modern (yet timeless). When looking back on all of our wedding expenses, Rob’s photography was worth every penny.

If there was a piece of advice I could offer any couple planning their wedding it would be this: Hire the best photographer your budget can afford. I was adamant about finding the best photographer we could find and it took my number one priority when wedding planning started. After searching through several pages of photographers on the wedding circuit (wedding wire, the knot, wedding bee), I had only come across (maybe) 3 photographers that had caught my eye– the number one contender being Rob Greer. I was immediately drawn to his style– classic, clean and timeless photos. Nothing trendy or gimmicky– they were simply photos that told a story. This is what I was looking for. I was not simply looking to find someone to capture our moments but someone who would articulate our specific story through photos that spoke to the viewer. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Comb through the highlighted photos on Rob Greer’s website– they don’t just speak a thousand words, they tell you a thousand stories, each one unique to the couple/​family/​individual being captured.
If you are deciding on pictures alone, Rob’s portfolio is enough to end your search. But on top of being such a professional creative genius behind the lens, Rob is simply a good guy to be around. He made us feel comfortable at both our engagement shoot and wedding day. He put us at ease, he made us laugh, and was just a genuinely cool dude to hang out with. Maybe this is why he is able to capture such warm and interesting photos– he actually cares about making his subjects comfortable in front of the camera!
Hiring Rob was the smartest and best decision we made while wedding planning. Rob is a nothing but a pleasure to work with– smart and honest with talent beyond measure. He was easily accessible for any questions you might have and was an index of amazing wedding advice and tips to keep in mind during wedding planning. But all that is an extra bonus when picking Rob. His photos speak for themselves. Rob is THE wedding photographer. Do yourself a favor and sign him before he gets booked!

Creative… Organized… Punctual… Rob is a gifted professional in the highest sense! You can relax in knowing that you’re going to get great photos. And you’ll get exactly what you agree upon. Rob was the very first vendor my husband and I locked in as we knew we wanted to have the best photos possible to capture our big day. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the amazing museum quality images he created for us. And it’s been wonderful to see how captivated and pleased our friends and family have been by his work — with many of them commenting that the photos should be published in a magazine. Definitely check him out!

Rob was nothing short of amazing! He offered lots of great advice during the planning stage, and has lots of great reading material on his website. We chose Rob based on his portfolio– his work is fresh and fun, and really comes alive. He was also really great on the day of– very personable and really took the time to get everyone to look their best. His assistant was wonderful too. All in all, we couldn’t have been happier with his work, and our guests can’t say enough about how pleased they are with the photos. Highly recommended!

It’s been seven years since Rob shot my wedding but I felt compelled to come back and write a review.
Rob is an AMAZING photographer! Our wedding photos are STUNNING. He captured so many «magical» moments. Most important is that he is a professional and so he listened to what we wanted and delivered hundreds of perfect photos. If you hire him, I’m sure you’ll be very happy with the results too.
Thank you Rob!

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Rob to be the photographer to capture the most memorable day of our lives! We came across his pictures while browsing through numerous wedding blogs online. We really liked his style of photography. His pictures were a perfect blend of timeless/​classic with added personality of the couple. He was the first and only photographer we met with and the easiest vendor we dealt with while planning our wedding.
Rob is a true professional and very passionate about his work. He prepares you with many helpful documents and really guides you through the entire process. He responds quickly to email correspondences and always arrives early. On our wedding day, he started shooting 30 mins before our contract time and captured some spontaneous, fun photos of me and my bridesmaids!
The day of the wedding went by so fast and certain moments were a blur, but Rob captured every meaningful moment in just one perfect picture. We didn’t have a videographer and I don’t regret it one bit because when I look at one of Rob’s pictures, it tells the entire story of that moment. We attended 7 weddings this year, including our own, and we can’t help but compare. Sure others had better floral arrangements, dance floor, or lighting, but we for sure had the best photographer! And as an added perk, Rob posts a few pictures on facebook the very next day! We highly recommend Rob and can’t thank him enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully.

Rob was awesome.
From the first meeting with him, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Obviously my husband and I liked his photography style (otherwise we wouldnt have met with him), but it was his approach that I really liked. Like me, he likes to be extremely organized about the day and will definitely help move you along to stay on track. He worked with us on getting the timeline down to what fit our schedule and budget and he definitely made it work! We have so many great pictures to choose from.
He was great with the kids in the wedding party and got them all to laugh for the photos. I have so many comments from family and friends who were at the wedding about how much they liked the photographer.
If Rob is in your budget, he is worth every penny!

From the moment we saw Rob’s photos, we knew we had to have him shoot our wedding. His work was so creative and fun, and showed that he had a great eye for what’s important in a shot. On top of that, his approach to his job leaves you with no doubt you’re in good hands. Rob is organized and methodical, and makes shooting with him easy and fun. We ended up with so many beautiful, print-​worthy photos of ourselves and others, including my most reluctant family members.
The day after our wedding, Rob had already created a small facebook album where we could share some key photos with all of our friends and family. To this day we still get comments from people about how great our wedding photos are. Amid all the wedding albums on facebook, people remember ours.
I would love to hire Rob again, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer they can trust to get amazing, artistic photos of once-​in-​a-​lifetime events.

After meeting with at least 4 different photographers in preparation for our wedding, my (now) husband and I unanimously decided on Rob Greer. Between his easy-​going demeanor and his extraordinarily beautiful body of work, it was a really easy choice.
Rob was extremely creative during our engagement session and that photo shoot was so much fun and the photos were so personal. We are both high school teachers and met on the job so we took really cool pictures all over the campus. We were so happy to display our photos and had a super difficult time choosing which ones to print. The little bit of practice we had in working with Rob at the engagement session really made the actual wedding day photography completely stress-​free and a lot of fun.
On the day of the wedding, Rob was incredible working with those «problem personalities» that every family has… diffusing any issues before they even became issues. Even better (and more complicated), he had a blast working with the kids in the family and getting fabulous photos of them both posed and otherwise. At the end of our very perfect day, we were really happy with the way all the photography went. However, the real test of a photographer is in the images, right?
When Rob posted our «teaser» photos the very next day after our wedding, I was in tears! He captured some of the most beautiful images of a wedding I’ve ever seen! The rest of the files/​proofs were ready in a timely manner and we were thrilled with the results. The images were crisp, the color was gorgeous, and everyone looked prettier/​more handsome than I had remembered. Every special moment was captured and now we have these images to look back on forever. Everyone who sees our album or any of our photos asks who our photographer was or tells us we had a great photographer. We couldn’t agree more!

I honestly have so many amazing things to say about Rob that I’m borderline afraid that Unilocal is going to try to filter my review for being too gushy. If, like me, you have a bit of ADD and this is too long for you OR you are just looking for the Cliff’s Notes version of this review — just know that my husband and I both feel that of all of the choices that we made for our wedding day, hiring Rob as our photographer was the best decision we made — by a landslide.
When I began searching for a wedding photographer I was sure of only one thing — I didn’t want my photos to look like every other wedding photo I had ever seen. I did want some traditional shots, but I wanted a photographer who had a quirky twist, while still being mindful of all of the aspects of good photography. I am extremely particular, and I literally looked at almost 30 photographers and contacted 8 before I hired Rob.
Before we hired him for our wedding day we actually hired Rob to take our engagement photos — I wanted my rather camera shy husband to meet him before we put down the deposit for our wedding day. Suffice it to say that by the end of our engagement session my husband got in the car and said «PLEASE book him for our wedding.» So we did, before ever seeing a single photo from our engagement session (they were phenomenal, for the record).
Considering that we had already worked with Rob, we thought we knew what to expect when Rob and his second photographer showed up on our wedding day. We didn’t. He far exceeded our expectations that day — he was fun, relaxed, and willing to roll with the punches. It felt like one of our good friends was our photographer — we were so comfortable with Rob and our family all fell in love with him too. By the end of the night, everyone was laughing and joking with him as if he were a part of our family — he fit right in.
Rob went above and beyond to accomodate our wishes. Due to our budget we were only able to hire him for a certain amount of time, and technically that time ended right before the toasts and before dinner began. Rob helped us to stage a cake cutting (that looks JUST like the real thing in photos) and stayed through the toasts even though we were running late. We invited Rob to stay for dinner, and he did — laughing and joining in with the fun and festivities. However, when he saw the incredible sunset — he grabbed his camera and came over to us excitedly — asking if we wanted some sunset photos. Of course we said yes, and as with all the rest of the photos from that day — the photos are stunning.
Hiring Rob to take our photos was the best investment we made in planning our wedding. Now that all of the other details are fading into the distant corners of my memory, I’m thankful to have these incredible photos that will last forever. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rob and his level of expertise and professionalism. Thank you Rob!
