My journal highlights my personal and professional adventures as a full-time wedding photojournalist! I absolutely love being a wedding photographer! My "job" is to hang out with awesome couples on the biggest day of their lives! Throughout my career I've photographed city weddings with 300 guests and small intimate Riu Ochos Rios Jamaica destination weddings with about 30 guests! My wedding photography studio is based out of Lewes Delaware, although I've traveled all over the world including Kingston Jamaica and Montego Bay Jamaica to photograph two events with Prince Charles!!!
So if you want to hang out on your wedding day, please drop me a line...even if you don't have a date set, wedding reception site picked or even if there is no fat rock on your finger! ;)
Way back in March, while in San Diego, Susan sent me an emailing wanting to do some Anniversary portraits in Rehoboth Beach! Ben, her hubby, had proposed to her at the beach so it only seemed right to get some portraits there. So near the end of July, while they were vacationing, we set out to shoot around town. I’ve had dozens of portraits in Rehoboth beach, but we ending finding some new locations. Good times. ;)
So I get a sweet voice mail from a girl named Ashley, from Pittsburgh, interested in some engagement pictures in Ocean City Maryland. She explain that she wanted her engagement photos at the beach, since she was getting married in Pittsburgh PA. We actually chose the Friday of 4th of July weekend. Crazy huh? In actuality traffic wasn’t that bad. On my way down to OCMD I did enjoy seeing all the young teens speeding around town on their “Rent Me” Mopeds, wife beater sun burns, J.LO sun glasses and chin strip beards….beepin their squeaky little horns and tryin to bunny hop. lol. All in it Ashley and BJ were such a great couple and knew how to work it for the camera!

I can usually tell from the first email if “its gonna work out” with me and the couple. In this case…I knew it to be true! Meghan, Jamie and I finally met up and hit it off immediately. Meghan admitted her addiction to me and I won over Jamie’s heart by showing him the custom metal prints. Had a blast taking their Rehoboth Beach engagement pictures and very much looking forward to their wedding at Winterthur this October!
“Hi Rob,
So, I must admit that long before my fiance & I were engaged… my friends and I were admiring your website, especially the Trash the Dress pictures. I started to read about you and… my fiance is actually from Milton, DE too! When I showed him the website and the trash the dress photos… he said “I know them from life-guarding!” when he saw the pictures of John and Stacy. After that, we began to browse your site relatively frequently (I think Jamie was looking for more of his friends while I just liked the pictures). My fiance’s name is Jamie Walls– he also has a sister Emily Walls, not sure if you know either of them. So, now we are engaged and looking at an October 2010 wedding. We decided that we still love your pictures and would love to try to have you shoot our wedding if possible! We don’t have an exact date yet, still looking at venues, but we are hoping for Oct 9, 16, or 23 of 2010. I just wanted to email you and get an idea of your schedule and if you are already booked for any of those dates! Oh, also, in terms of venues… we are looking everywhere from Winterthur to Baywood Greens… to Long Beach Island, NJ… to Philly… to Mt. Washington, New Hampshire… so I am also wondering if you can give me an idea of your pricing if you have to travel!
Thanks so much, I hope to hear from you soon!
Meghan”
Meghan’s failed attempt to judo throw Jamie. It actually backfired.

“My name is Angie Choma and I am newly engaged! WOOO HOOOO!!! Sitting here on my little cloud of happiness I am trying to piece together my DE beach wedding for next summer. Thanks for your time and know that I am a big fan of your craft. You have an amazing eye and true talent for capturing all of the beautiful moments in a wedding. If it doesn’t work out for you to be my photographer, you still have a fan in me!” This was the first and last sentences of the initial email I received from Angie back in the day. Its always a good when a bride-to-be like my photos.
So we finally met up for Angie and Steve’s engagement pictures in downtown Lewes Delaware. Lewes is such an awesome little town. So many places to take pictures and all with in walking distance. We had a great time strolling the streets, sharing some laughs and chatting about their wedding! I’m very much looking forward to their Salero wedding in June!
