Introduction: Hi and thanks for stopping by. My name is Ruben and I’m a photographer. I’ve been a photographer for over 25 years and absolutely love it. Although I consider myself extremely well rounded in all facets of photography, I do get a lot of people work. Photographing people, interacting with people, making them feel comfortable in front of the camera, I get a lot of that. I would love to get to know you and your project. Please call or drop me a line. g-rphotography.com Thanks Ruben

Ruben did a fantastic job with our wedding (of about 60 people)! He made sure everything was laid out in advance without being at all intrusive, and at the event he was very easygoing and had fabulous rapport with everyone while still doing very professional work. His emphasis on the more candid elements of an event worked wonderfully for us and made it particularly nice to look back through photos with guests. There were, of course, plenty of posed photos, too, and they turned out beautifully. Ruben suggested plenty of combinations there and rolled with the punches on our own selections. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing. I was in a real bind looking for someone. Everyone was extremely overcharging and it looked as if I was not going to have a wedding photographer. Luckily Ruben reached out! We exchanged a quick “what I was looking for” and what he is able to do (everything if you’re wondering). He did not charge much and he was a solid half hour early to check the venue out and scope! I have to give credit that my wedding went smoothly BECAUSE OF RUBEN. I do portrait photography on the side/hobby and have little to no experience with people (other than friends and doing favors for them for photography). It was great to have Ruben take the leadership role and help guide the entire day. He ensured we had every group and couple shot possible. My husband and I were relieved he was available and booked about 50hours before our wedding!!!! After the wedding, he went to check the sun to see if it was in a spot that was best for us and our photos! He’s very easy to work with. He is really all about making sure everyone is happy with photos. He is kind, informational, relaxed, understanding, and overall excellent on excellent. Our families raved about what a gem he was and how lucky we were to find him!! It was meant to be. We will be booking/working with him for our reception and other events to come!

Rubin was AMAZING!! My sister is very indecisive and was very nervous about getting married; kept changing her mind about how she wanted the order of events to go... Rubin was patient and flexible throughout the entire process! She absolutely loved the pictures, he was professional, punctual, and thorough. Definitely going to consider him again for further photoshoots!! Thank you so much Rubin

I hired Ruben to help me out during my daughter’s 18th bday celebration. He was professional, easy to talk to and made me, my daughter and the guests feel at ease when he was taking our pictures. He took ALOT of quality pictures during the 4 hours that he was in our event. He gave us almost 1200 pictures and a slide show only 3 days after the party. I will definitely recommend him to our family and friends will hire him again in the future for our family portrait.

Ruben is an excellent photographer. He did an outstanding job at my daughter's Sweet 16 birthday party. Ruben captured every special moment from beginning to end, along with amazing candid shots. We received our photos and slide show within 3 days. Fantastic! Ruben was professional and easygoing. It was a pleasure to work with him. Ruben, thank you for everything! I recommend your services and look forward to using them again in the future. Thank you!
