Kniley Photography

cause Bob was just such a pleasure, and is clearly very skilled and artistic. Our wedding weekend was a multi-day event including both Indian and American events - Bob had not photographed an Indian wedding before but he took on the challenge with grace - and style, I should mention! We had both ceremonies in one day and Bob showed up to our Indian events wearing traditional eastern clothing, which was so incredible!! He did a costume change for the American ceremony later in the evening as well. Bob, and his lovely second shooter Coco, worked seamlessly with us. Honestly we hardly noticed he was there for the candid photos. He was very organized in the months leading up to the wedding weekend and made sure to know ahead of time what details were important to us. His attention to detail was evident, and it was much appreciated. Bob’s energy is very calming and kind. He really was just such a lovely person to have as one of our vendors. Photography was very important to us and Bob’s style really resonated with us; he has a classic, beautiful style. We are not drawn to the trendy ‘editorial style’ photography with the direct flash look which seems to be all the rage in 2025… we wanted a photographer who offered a more timeless style, which Bob absolutely does. He made us feel very comfortable during portraits as well, which can be pretty awkward to do! As of now we have received some preview photos, which are just unbelievably stunning. I can’t wait for the full gallery in a few weeks - which I know will be a lot of hard work because over two days Bob and his team took over 14,000 shots! I would not hesitate to hire Bob for any event photography, and truly if you’re lucky enough to book him you will be so grateful that you did.

was no different, he handled everything so well and made us so confident that we were going to end up with an unbelievable collection of photos.

ion to detail and of course his resume! He not only takes incredible photos that turn into pieces of art but also made a connection with us and our guests that everyone loved. We were confident our photos would be amazing but we did not know we were also getting someone who would help organize our wedding day, would be there for a safety pin when you needed it and had great advise to share. 20/10 recommend Kniley photography!

t a special experience to work with him. In addition to everything photo related, his experience was so helpful in planning timelines, giving advice, and sharing his experiences within the wedding industry helped us with what can be an overwhelming experience in getting everything ready for the day. I cannot recommend him enough, he was beyond professional as well as just a great person to communicate with, bounce ideas off of, and was always willing to go the extra mile to help us with any part of planning the wedding. In addition, the reveal session in his studio was a blast, getting to review the photos with him, get his thoughts on different shots from a photographer's and artistic eye was really great so we could choose amazing photos to be in an album and wall art we had purchased. Honestly, just a great experience, so glad to have had Bob on this journey with us, and everything turned out amazing.

was our photographer. He has a professionalism that surpasses many and his work is amazing, but what really sold us was how amazing he was to talk with and how comfortable we instantly felt when around him. He is funny and down to earth and amazingly personable. When we had our engagement session and I was so nervous to be in front of the camera and not behind it. Bob made me feel so comfortable and the session was perfect. I can’t wait for our big day!! Oh

s, especially of myself, but Bob made us both feel calm and comfortable as if it was just a normal walk in the park. The photos are stunning and we can't wait to see how he captures our wedding day!

Inn on Broadway and Bob's familiarity with the venue was one of the reasons we chose him. We couldn't have been happier with the day and how things turned out. Bob was a huge part of making this happen. Thank you Bob we loved having you be a part of our day!!!

Bob helped make sure our wedding day ran smoothly and we knew he would capture every special moment from our day! Bob helped make the wedding planning process easy and would email helpful reminders and suggestions throughout the process which we really appreciated! During the wedding day he helped make sure our vision would come to life! Our family and bridal party also loved working with Bob :) highly highly recommend Kniley photography!!!!

possible business instead of us and our wedding. Bob is a true professional, creative, personable and genuinely cares and wants to know his clients. We challenged him a little bit with new locations, weather and picture ideas and he was down for all of it. He did both our wedding and engagement photos. Besides the little bit of instruction in the beginning, we didn't even feel like he was there. We were so comfortable with him. Bob was so on top of things, consistently sending us tips, ideas, anything he has found that is helpful to make wedding planning easier. I was able to text him about questions, concerns, or picture ideas. He made sure to have a list of all the pictures that we wanted at the wedding and was more than happy to add in spur of the moment (non candid) shots. We couldn't decide what package to go with so Bob worked with us to make somewhat of a customized package. I can't say enough good things about working with Bob, he is so worth it, especially for a day such as your wedding! We just got our sneak peak pictures, not even 2 days after the wedding, and they are gorgeous! We can't wait to see the rest if them!

lanning phase leading up to our wedding, Bob sent out some really informative emails to help give us tips and tricks for as successful a day as possible. He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had, and he was accommodating to meet with us at a time that was convenient for our schedule. In particular, I really appreciated his insight and coaching regarding how we could maximize our photographic opportunities. The day went by so quickly, but he was there with us every step of the way to help keep us on schedule and guide us. When you make the decision to work with Bob you get more than just a photographer. You get a professional who produces amazing photographs but is also laid back and treats you like family. We could feel how much our satisfaction meant to him and it was a beautiful, collaborative experience. We are VERY happy, and grateful, for having had the opportunity to work with Bob! Therefore, we highly recommend Kniley Photography to you as well.

Bob for your own wedding!!

sband and I feel so comfortable throughout the day, constantly checking in on us and how we were feeling throughout the day. We cannot thank Bob enough for being there capturing our special day.

had a little bit of sticker shock, I honestly had a hard time because he was over my budget and id have to give up getting a videographer. When I saw bobs photos i knew I needed to get on this guys schedule. His photos are timeless and magical. I was a professional photographer for 10 years and I shot weddings and when I tell you he really knows his stuff about settings and lighting and artistry.....he really does. Not only is he super knowledgeable but he is an amazing person in general. I was an out of state bride, living in Orlando getting married in Rochester....it was hard picking a photographer because i wouldnt have a chance to do an engagement shoot with the same photographer so i wouldn't be able to see whoever's photos i decided upon earlier than the wedding. So I really need to be sure in my decision. From off the bat Bob was professional, cordial, caring and friendly. He didnt just talk about himself but he asked about us. After we signed with him bob made sure to send emails every couple of months, and then every couple of weeks/days as the wedding got nearer. We even got regular mail from him which truly made me feel as if we were getting to know him more. As an out of state bride that made me feel like i was connected to him and getting to know him as he was getting to know us. He also has great buisiness tactics. As an out of state bride I knew we wouldnt be able to fly up for an engagement session, although he didnt have to he went and moved that engagement hour to my wedding timeline which really helped me because I was struggling to see if my timeline would work. On the day of the wedding i told bob how excited I was to see him. I told him that he had full creative freedom to shoot how he wanted and we got amazing photos!!!! We havent gotten them all yet but our sneak peak photos really show his talent. I told him i wanted a stunning night photo. He went and took this stunning dark photo in our ballroom. He got those moments with our bridal party to truly look effortless even though it was 85 degrees out. My hair was already coming undone at sunset when we went out at golden hour but you literally cant even tell. I also cannot wait for this stellar photo that he has of us walking on a hill with an inky blue sky and us as silhouettes. I'm literally giddy about that photo. At the end of the day I guess what I am saying is this......if photography is the most important thing to you then I would choose bob in a heartbeat. Even though he was out of our budget bob really made us feel confidant in our decision every step of the way. We felt truly special because of him, even before meeting him in person. if i could give more than 5 stars i would in a heartbeat.

utiful spots at our wedding venue! My husband & I were amazed at how many special little moments he captured to make each one last a lifetime. He was willing to go above & beyond to try to catch the sprinkling of rain in the evening, and he used lighting around the venue which literally made us feel like we were in a movie. On top of all that, our wedding guests couldn't stop gushing over how personable and talented our photographer was. Bob made me feel at ease when getting ready and throughout the day, and now we can look back on our photos and reminisce. <3

g for a photographer I looked at ALOT. I did my research. I looked at how they edit, their style and a lot were just overly edited or not the style I was looking for. I would reach out and have a hard time getting information or they were too pushy to work together. When I was introduced to bob I got a response almost immediately, but not just any response…I got a personalized VIDEO message. Like what? I thought that was so beyond cool and I was sold! We had a zoom meeting a week or so later and I knew we had to hire him. He is so nice, so genuine and we vibed instantly. We first got to work together when we did our engagement shoot and he was super easy to work with. Sometimes getting professional pictures taken can be awkward lol kissing and being affectionate in front of a stranger isnt always easy but bob made it so easy. He gave direction so well and helped us loosen up and had us laughing and smiling in no time. So when it came time for the wedding we knew he had it in the bag! He got along so well with all our other vendors. He actually had worked many times with our videographer before so their ability to work together on our big day was FANTASTIC. They fed off each other and worked so well together and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Bobs work speaks for itself. It’s not overly edited, he worry’s more about getting the moments that the filters. It’s a raw real picture that transports you back in time to that moment. We couldn’t be happier with Bob and will recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer. Bob thank you so much for being apart of our special day and being apart of this amazing chapter for us! We love you and hope to get a chance to work together again soon!

ur wedding day was stress-free not only because of Bob’s efficiency and attention to detail, but because of his impressive organizational skills!

the dance floor for the perfect shot of your special day. Hard to imagine there is a better photographer in the Rochester area.

lients' best interests into consideration. He gave us exactly what we wanted and more. Using his creative vision and wealth of knowledge, he has created photographs that tell stories and will stand the test of time. We cannot recommend him enough! We look forward to keeping in touch with him :) - Lizzie and Nick

se blew us away; but the ones he captured yesterday will knock those out of the park from the glances we got at them. He made such a heartfelt connection with us as a couple and he did everything we asked of him and so so much more. We were honored to have him as a photographer and guest at our wedding. The day wouldn't have been the same without him there cheering us on throughout the day and making us so confident in who we are as a couple in every photo. All of our guests loved him and couldn't stop saying amazing things about him. By far he is the best person we could've asked for as our photographer and share this once in a lifetime experience with.

ok months out from the wedding, meeting in his office to discuss details as to what my wife and I were looking for, to his location research for the perfect shot, we felt confident we'd be well taken care of. The day of the wedding, Bob was present and engaged from the moment he arrived to the end of the night. He worked diligently to not only ensure that every moment was photographed, but also making it an enjoyable experience for all. The pictures we've seen already are simply stunning and we cannot wait to see the finished product. Would recommend 10/10!

ons, thoroughly thought out the entire day, and made incredibly thoughtful suggestions to give us the best memories to look back on forever. The images from our special day are more wonderful than we ever could have imagined.

ressed by the genuine love and passion him and his team had. The sneak peak pictures we have seen so far are above and beyond anything we could have hoped for! We are so excited to see the rest! We would highly recommend Kniley Photography, for incredible pictures and even more incredible people and experience to spend your special day with! They made us feel so comfortable! Our bridal party went on about him and his team and the love and passion they shared with our bridal party and everyone involved in our day! Thank you so much Kniley Photography!!

he was able to capture our personalities and love for each other in each photo. You wouldn’t think there would be many candid photos in an engagement shoot but most of our photos were candid, and we loved this! It felt natural. Bob worked well with us to include our puppy in some of the photos as well. From the time we started working with Bob he made it clear he wanted to get to know us personally and understand what kinds of photos we want. We can’t wait for Bob to be the photographer for our wedding!

e also received our pictures much earlier than we expected, and they turned out amazing. Super excited to get to work with him again for the wedding day! POST WEDDING UPDATE: Bob and Becky were absolutely wonderful and exceeded our already high expectations. They were professional, patient and courteous, making us and our wedding party feel at ease in front of the camera to lead to some incredible photos. Bob took care to check in multiple times during the wedding planning process and jumped on a very helpful detailed call one week before the wedding (which put our last minute worries at ease). Choosing Kniley Photography was one of our best wedding decisions without a doubt.

ry step of the way and you can always count on photos that have captured special moments. Bob is a must for your wedding!

aphy to anyone looking for a great photographer, a stress free experience, and beautiful wedding photos!

e made sure to make me feel at ease with the entire process. He really took the time to get to know me and my (then) fiancé through zoom meetings, phone calls and emails. He continuously checked in on us and was always there when we had questions. Because of his attentiveness to our needs and to all the details, I completely felt comfortable with him, which is very hard for me since I don't like having my photo taken. He went the extra mile for us and I can't express how grateful I am! He even sets up a photo reveal session at his office where we get to relive the day he captured so perfectly! He was open to all our suggestions, but ultimately his work speaks for itself - absolutely breathtaking!!!

s not always about really pretty photographs which you will definitely receive. He really tried to get to understand us as a couple, and what was most important to us for our wedding day vs. the standard let's do standard xyz. He is very easy going, attentive, relaxed, creative and fun! He made a sometimes stressful, chaotic day, so enjoyable and we would choose to work with him 100x over again. Bob is also very organized and helped us build our wedding timeline among helping with small reminders throughout the long wedding planning journey. - Justine & Jason

edding even loved him! I couldn’t recommend him more!

aptured some really lovely images. He put two introverts- both of whom hate the camera and avoid it, at complete ease. the session was fun, relaxing and the results capture us, and who we are together. I could not have asked for better and I cannot wait to work with him again for our wedding.

do’s and don’ts and all of them said to not cheap out on your wedding photos. We immediately started looking, we looked at so many photographers and just couldn’t find the right one. A good friend of mine suggested Bob from Kniley photography and with one look at his page i fell in love with his work and just had to reach out. I went to his website and filled out an inquiry form. Now before, any other photographer I reached out to would simply send me a message or a text with one or two exchanges back and forth or they never responded at all but when I reached out to bob, I got a personalized VIDEO message introducing himself and telling us a little about himself and that he would call me in a few days to talk more and I was speechless. LIKE WHAT??? How cool! I have never seen anything like that before, he was so genuinely nice and personable and I knew right then and there I had to have him for my wedding. We planned to meet Bob at his studio and talk about our vision and get to know each other but unfortunately I came down with Covid the day we were supposed to meet. So instead of rescheduling Bob offered to do a zoom meeting! Even though I felt like complete garbage I never had more excitement in a zoom call ever. He showed us more of his work and went over his packages and got to know us as a couple and without hesitation we knew he was our photographer and booked him by the end of that call. We started planning our engagement shoot and decided we were going to have them at Highmark Stadium, home of the BUFFALO BILLS as my fiancé is a season ticket holder. We were so full of excitement and not at all nervous about working with Bob, at this point we still have never met face to face but we never had any doubts we wouldn’t get along and vibe well. My fiancé and I are “vibe” people and when we finally met Bob in person we loved working with him. He truly is so genuinely nice and such a great person, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease that we were going to get the pictures we wanted. We never once felt awkward or uncomfortable. Nothing felt forced, he gave us directions and had us laughing and took the time to make sure he found the best spots or positions to get the best shorts. The whole experience was so amazing, to be on the 50 yard line popping champagne with my future husband was so unbelievably cool and to get to share that moment with Bob who was equally as excited is a moment we will never forget and I’m sure he never will either. I’m so happy we found Bob and that he captured our engagement session so well and I CAN NOT WAIT for our wedding and to get to work with him again! Without a doubt I will recommend Kniley Photography to anyone in need of pictures. -Alexis & James

in the grass after all day rain- my husband ans I are so grateful for all his true hard work and really the art in his photos. Cannot sing his praises enough- here is one of our favorites from our big day that he took

planned meeting a week before the wedding to go over the timeline of our big day, worked with us to organize a list of photos we wanted with various bridal party and family members, and made sure to listen to any kind of specific events unique to our wedding that we wanted photographed. All of our guests loved having him around during the ceremony and reception that day. We've already seen previews from the wedding and have been very impressed and excited with Bob's work and cannot wait to see the final products! Thank you for capturing our big day Bob!

noticed that he has an eye and skills as a photographer that are well above the competition. From our first meeting with Bob through our engagement session, and finally our wedding day, he has been a pleasure to work with. He has truly felt more like a member of our family than a photographer. He has shown a genuine interest in us as a couple, he spent time learning our story, and I believe that extra work really comes through in the art he creates. Bob created a wedding day schedule that made sense and kept everything flowing well, we wasted no time and had an absolutely magic day. During the wedding Bob and his assistant were somehow everywhere at all times, but never in the way. I have no reservations recommending Bob to photograph the most important day of your life, as his work is magical and timeless. It has been a pleasure getting to know Bob, as we feel like we have gained a friend in the process!

ated about Bob was his communication. He was responsive to all of our requests, and sent frequent email updates and check-ins throughout the engagement. Also, and most importantly, his photos are out-of-this world gorgeous. Our engagement photos blew us away, and we just received three sneak peak photos that I am already obsessed with. We can’t recommend him enough!

sneak peek and overly joyed to see the rest! He’s highly recommend!!!

bum, Bob was professional, offering endless support, advice and guidance. On our wedding day, we felt safe and relaxed in the hands of Bob and his assistant, Bethany, who followed the wedding timeline to a “T” and kept everyone in the wedding party on task. We couldn’t be more happy with how our photos turned out! The photos we have shared with our friends and family, we have received nothing but compliments and praise on how beautifully they turned out! Bob Kniley is seriously talented and genuinely loves what he does! If you are considering about booking him for your wedding , don’t hesitate! You won’t be disappointed ! They have captured memories we will cherish forever ❤️

flawless wedding day. He went to our reception space and even toured our church to prepare. He also looked at spaces that we were planning on taking pictures to make sure they would have the right lighting. He was punctual and great at communicating on our wedding day and took some amazing photos!
