We are a husband and wife team offering a wide range of photography and/or videography services for individuals and small businesses. Combining both video and photography in one package is the most economical choice if you are at all considering both, especially for weddings. Video is an excellent way to capture a moment or get a message across. We have also live streamed a number of weddings since the COVID pandemic and continue to offer this as a reasonable option on any package. We have lived and worked all over South County and Newport and consider these areas to be a specialty for us. We are very outgoing, super easy to work with, and above all else provide each client with a high degree of service. We often work as a team, most especially on portrait sessions, surprise proposals, and weddings, which helps to make the most of any occasion. Bob is an FAA licensed drone pilot and we incorporate drone footage whenever possible at no extra charge. Please visit our website to read more about us and see more of our work.

We absolutely enjoyed our photoshoot with Bob. From the start, he was very easy to talk to and very responsive. He understood exactly what we wanted and was able to deliver that. He helped us pick the perfect location and made adjustments in his schedule to accommodate our request for a sunset photoshoot time. He and his wife were very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. I would choose Bob for all my events without thinking even thinking twice. Thank you Bob!

Bob was the best engagement photographer I could’ve asked for, we’re so grateful for Bob’s help and his amazing photography! Bob is very personable and goes out of his way to make sure everything is coordinated ahead of time which is so helpful for a surprise engagement shoot. I was nervous about executing everything without tipping off my now-fiancé about my plans and Bob made sure that everything went smoothly and we had a well-thought out plan in place. We spoke on the phone twice prior and Bob even adjusted our plan the day before the proposal when I found out I could no longer propose at the location I had initially wanted to.
On the day of the proposal, Bob, and his wife Jackie, willingly traveled by ferry to Block Island early in the morning to get there ahead of my fiancé and I to shoot the proposal. My fiancé was completely surprised, the photos of the actual proposal were amazing, and we took many additional staged photos after. Jackie also took photos of everything in addition!
After the photo shoot, Bob shared the photos in a very timely manner so we could share with all of our close friends and family. We’re so grateful for Bob and Jackie’s help making this such a special day we’ll remember forever. Highly recommend using Bob if you’re looking for an engagement photographer!

Bob was great from start to finish. We started with an introductory call to talk about all details and he checked in multiple times before the date of engagement. Day of engagement he was on time and not visible. He got great shots of the proposal and helped guide us to take to great additional shots. He was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend!

I loved my experience working with Bob! He was very professional and did a great job at communicating before and during the event. I was going to propose to my girlfriend but wanted to keep it a secret, she thought we were just getting photos taken as a couple. Bob kept the secret and was able to be there to capture the moment and did an amazing job!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All shoots are different and require flexibility on my part to meet on common ground and create a win-win situation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First is to understand all there is to know about what their requirements are - any customer - and to do all that is necessary for them to feel satisfied and well taken care of when our engagement is over.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a continuing education certificate in photography from Rhode Island School of Design and also belong to Professional Photographers of America. I use a steady stream of self-learning resources to be constantly on top of current practices.
