New Hyde Park, NY

5/5(187 reviews)SampleFrom $550

Hi, I'm Robert, a wedding photographer from Long Island, New York. My passion for photography began early, always being the guy with the camera at parties. However, it was my own wedding in 1985 that truly sparked my interest in wedding photography. Over the past 35 years, I've photographed around 800 weddings, gaining invaluable experience in managing the inevitable challenges of a wedding day with calm and poise.My style is a blend of photojournalism and traditional directed shots, aiming for natural, candid moments without intruding. This approach uniquely captures the true emotions of your special day. I love documenting the range of emotions, from happy tears to laughter, and my relaxed, humorous nature helps me blend into the background. Despite my easy-going demeanor, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my craft, always striving to capture the best possible shot.

Thank You so much for being a part of our special day! Thank You for capturing all of our special moments from this day! Thanks for all that you do!

Katie & Tom

Hi Robert, Tom and I wanted to thank you so much again for photographing our wedding! We absolutely loved every minute of it and it wouldn't have been the same without you! You were amazing every second of the day and made taking the pictures so much fun! There were so many photos we wanted to take and you worked SO hard to make sure we got every single one and had fun doing it. The table "game" was a stroke of absolute genius. We cannot wait to see the pictures!

Christina & Peter

We are all so obsessed. These are so wonderful! Can’t thank you enough 💜 just got home and Pete and I opened up our gift. We cannot believe how thoughtful you are!!! Pete and I are blown away by the photo. We are going to hang it up in our bedroom tonight. Also, the personalized flash drive is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! We were so impressed and thankful for all of your hardwork on the day of the wedding, but this really is the icing on the cake. Thank you so very much!!!
