I didn't see or feel love growing up
I didn't grow up with a mother and father who loved each other — who showed me, just by being together, what love was supposed to look like. I never had that model. I never got to see it.
I didn't have that foundation that so many people take for granted. And then I found photography. Through my lens, I'm able to see love. I'm able to feel love. Every wedding I shoot, every engagement session, every moment capture of two people choosing each other—it fills something in me that was always empty. I get to witness what I never had. I get to document the kind of love I was searching for my whole life. And in doing that, I get to help couples see their own love more clearly, more beautifully, more honestly. That's why this work matters so much to me. That's why I'll never treat it like "just a job." Because for me, it's healing. It's learning. It's experiencing love in a way I never got to as a child. When you trust me with your story, you're not just hiring a photographer— you're inviting someone who genuinely cherishes what you have. Someone who sees the sacred in the ordinary moments. Someone who will protect and celebrate your love like it's the most precious thing in the world. Because to me, it is.
About Working With Me
I know being in front of the camera isn't everyone's favorite thing—and that's
exactly why I'm here. My job is simple: you show up as exactly who you are, and I'll take care of the rest. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I've got you. My goal is to give you time to actually be present on your big day quiet moments just the two of you, getting you back to cocktail hour so you can celebrate with the people you love, and making sure you feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens, not awkward or posed.
I blend gentle direction with a fly-on-the-wall approach, so you get authentic moments without feeling like you're performing for the camera. All I ask? Be open minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically you. If that sounds like you, we're already a perfect match. Your love story matters. Let's capture it beautifully.
1/8
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me with a Red Bull in one hand and a caramel iced latte in the other
— yes, both. Hydration is a spectrum.
2/8
I'm a self-proclaimed geek at heart —
Marvel, anime, Pokémon, video games. Charizard is the GOAT and I will not be taking questions.
3/8
Dragon Ball Z is what pulled me into the anime rabbit hole, and I've never looked back.
Currently binging Arcane and trying not to have feelings about it.
4/8
I'm a soft-spoken introvert...
until the margaritas show up. Then apparently I'm everyone's best friend.
5/8
I'm a gamer at heart — or at least I used to be before kids and responsibility staged a hostile takeover of my free time.
No regrets. Mostly.
6/8
At every wedding I shoot, you'll find me sneaking a Nature's Bakery fig bar between shots.
It's not a quirk, it's a system."
7/8
Marvel over DC.
This is non-negotiable and also not up for discussion in my booking form.
8/8
I kicked off 2026 exploring Portland, Oregon — and I'm already counting down to September when I'll be shooting in Glacier National Park.
Mountains, wilderness, and my camera. Can't wait.
"It was a privilege to get to work with Rob for our wedding."
He went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly both during the wedding and in the lead up to it. He got up at the crack of dawn to meet us in Central Park for an early morning engagement shoot and came to Manhattan on NYE for our wedding, all while bringing an extremely calming energy that put everyone at ease. Even when things didn't go to plan or our schedule got messed up, he adapted and made it all somehow work out. Everyone in our bridal party and families who worked directly with him told us how much they enjoyed the energy
he brought and how nice it was to have someone so calm during a chaotic time. Wedding days are inherently stressful, so I 100% recommend working with Rob because he neutralizes so much of that stress. Then there are the pictures themselves. They are absolute art. We received our sneak peeks only a couple days after the wedding, and they are so perfect and wonderful. I didn't even see him during the reception, but he was there for every special moment, capturing snap shots of memories we'll now be able to cherish forever. We love you, Rob!

"We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding photographer, Rob."
From start to finish, the entire process was completely stress-free, seamless, and honestly such a joy. Rob was incredibly empathetic, caring, and attentive, which made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, something that does not come naturally to us. He took the time to really listen to what we were looking for, understood our vision, and fully delivered beyond our expectations. Not only did our photos come out absolutely incredible, but he captured the day in a way that felt
authentic and emotional. He didn’t just take photos he told a story through them, preserving the moments, feelings, and little details that made our day so special. We felt truly supported throughout the entire experience, and it shows in every single image. We would recommend Rob to anyone and everyone without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, kind, professional, and genuinely cares about you and your story, look no further. We are so grateful we chose him!

" Where do I begin? There are not enough great things to say about Rob as a person
and as a photographer."
He is so kind, caring, professional, punctual and a MASTER of his craft. My husband and I booked Rob for our wedding and engagement shoot. Rob is INSANELY talented and it doesn’t even feel like work. When we first met I told him I am not the most comfortable in front of the camera and he promised me he would capture our moments without stress. He kept his word! Not only did his shots come out PERFECTLY, I had so much fun! I am sad that our time together has ended and will most definitely book Rob without a doubt for anything in our future. I thank you Rob for making myself and Nico’s day so magical and stress free! We love and appreciate you!

"Rob is caring, creative, fun to be around and makes sure you don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable."
When we initially got engaged, my husband and I only knew of a couple of vendors we wanted to work with for sure and Rob was at the very top of our list. I kept saying to my husband, “we need to find a venue and date STAT so we can make sure we book Rob!”. And let me tell you, this man did not disappoint for a second.
Rob is caring, creative, fun to be around and makes sure you don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable. He asks great questions to get to know you and is always around if you have a last minute worry you need sorted out. When we sat down to dinner at our wedding, Rob already had some sneak peek photos for my husband and I to enjoy! Remember that your photographer is there with you for some of the most intimate parts of your wedding day, capturing those moments you first see each other and the candid glimpses you forget about; you want to make sure you have someone there you trust and I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Rob Charles.
