I’m Rob, a veteran, storyteller, and full-time creative based right here in Northern Virginia. My work lives at the intersection of grit and beauty — whether it’s a bold social media reel, a cinematic promo, or a quiet portrait that speaks volumes.
I’m proud to be a Top Pro on Thumbtack with over a decade of experience in photography, videography, and YouTube/podcast production. Clients come to me when they want work that feels like film, but with modern edge and emotion. I bring high-end gear, a collaborative mindset, and the eye to make every frame matter.
Let’s make something unforgettable.

Rob is extremely talented in his craft. He captured both pictures and video at our daughter's wedding. There is emotion and beauty in each frame. We loved his finished, edited product, which was readily available to us on the same week! Definitely recommend.

Absolute 5/5 stars for Rob G. Rob was incredibly responsive and accommodating while being extremely professional. I needed to problem-solve about getting footage over two days, and Rob came up with ideas, multiple equipment options, and a good attitude. He felt like a partner who had been on our team, not someone I had to manage/onborad at all. He GETS events. This was a relief as I had other things to manage as a producer. Delighted with his delivery and communication. And the shots are wonderful! Hire Rob! I sure hope to next chance I get!

Rob really came through for our family!! Rob traveled to our AirBnB house a few days after Christmas to capture some incredible memories. We’re not the most photogenic group, but he pulled out absolute winners and made the event so enjoyable. Quality work. Incredibly friendly. So very grateful!!

I was proposing to my girlfriend out in the woods at night (LOL). I had outdoor lights strung up in between trees and it was so incredibly pretty, BUT I had to get there and turn them on. Rob showed up early, in the dark, and hiked thru the woods to get there. I swear he probably thought I was a serial killer but he stuck with it and got some AMAZING pictures and videos. Dude has been doing this for years, has been passionate about film and photography for longer, and it shows. He's amazing at what he does and I can't recommend him enough. Knows how to shoot in low light and is extremely resilient in cold dark weather (lol sorry Rob).
Details: Social media profile • Outdoors • 2 - 5 people • My home, venue, etc.

Rob was fantastic, he was extremely professional and kind during our proposal shoot. We were uncomfortable as this was our first phot shoot but Rob did a great job at making it seem natural and giving tips and tricks at how to get the best photos. The results were amazing.
