About Us

Rob is a reformed computer hacker who spent more than a decade writing code for a giant bank so he knows how the system works and how to fit in. He is the primary photographer and our lighting specialist. His love for technology makes him the go to guy for IT related questions. (Test him by asking what camera to buy!) Rob believes that AI will change the world but doesn't think that it is ready to be trusted with your images yet. He is known for his enthusiastic passion and his love of coffee.

How We Met

Our friends set us up on a blind date, but we both bailed. Later, Jill’s mom, convinced we’d click, emailed me from her AOL account to arrange another meeting and she was right. I thank her for being persistent all the time.



How We Got in to photography

Both Jill and Rob grew up captivated by photography—Jill with her dad’s 35mm camera, drawn to storytelling through vibrant colors and composition, and Rob with an old 110 film camera, fascinated by the technical intricacies. When Jill became pregnant with their first child, Rob dove into mastering modern photography techniques, determined to capture their growing family’s moments. Their photos soon caught the eye of friends and friends of friends, leading to a flood of bookings. Overwhelmed by demand, Rob left his software engineering career to pursue photography full-time, and within a year, Jill followed, leaving her job as an occupational therapist to join him. Together, they turned their shared passion into a thriving creative partnership.




Hello From Us!

Our Resume

You can send a message through our Contact Page and tell us a little bit about your event / project and we will reach back out to you right away.

Jill grew up in sunny South Florida. From an early age, her father always had his camera close by, capturing moments that would later inspire her artistic journey. Jill is an artist and she finds joy in creative expression. She loves practicing yoga, spending time outdoors immersed in nature (the further she can get from a cell phone tower the better), nurturing her plants (she has a succulent hospital), and listening to live music.

Rob grew up the Treasure Coast. His passion for all things technology developed at an early age, as he found joy in taking apart various electronic devices and writing video games for his first computer - a TRS Model 80. He would eventually land a job with a giant banking institution where his specialty became writing high-volume transaction systems. After a few years of working in online banking he started tinkering with website design, graphics, and photography - which would soon become a full blown passion.

Rob and Jill met when Rob got an email from Jill’s mother. The email was just two lines. In the email she asked Rob if he would take Jill, who had been out of town for a couple of months at an intensive yoga training, on a date. Rob thought it was one of his friends pranking him until he got a message from Jill apologizing for her mothers's email. They now have 2 wonderful children (Elizabeth and Ethan), 2 dogs (Marshall and Indy), a cat named Ziggy, 5 ducks, and a booming photography business.

Rob worked his first wedding to help a friend and he knew right away that this is what he was supposed to be doing. He sat Jill down and told her that he wanted to leave the corporate cubicle landscape and embark on this photography adventure. Jill encouraged him from the start and within 2 years she left her career as an Occupational Therapist to join him at the studio full time.

Our philosophy has always been simple: we think weddings, even the planning process, should be fun. We love spending time with you so that we can learn about you first hand. We want to hear how you met and what you love about each other. We want to watch your expressions and see what you are excited about so that we can combine our own unique blend of humor, encouragement and OCD to tell your one of a kind story in the most awesome way possible.
