Robert was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He was friendly and really listened to our needs. We wanted a lot of pictures with different groups of friends and he really listened to that need and made it happen. Not only do we love our photos, he also got great photos of all of our guests that we will cherish. Robert's pricing was incredibly affordable and he was great to work with. Highly recommend hiring him!
Robert was absolutely hands down amazing to work with! He was great at communicating through the whole process. He ensured to capture special moments and get all the photos we wanted. We have received so many compliments on both our engagement and wedding photos. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience with Robert. Very professional and went above and beyond taking a ton of pictures for a very reasonable price. Would recommend him to anyone and will legitimately actively do that if I know of others getting married in this area.
Wow! The photos Robert took of our wedding made it seem like there were 2-3 photographers present. He truly captured everything! I was very nervous about picking the right photographer for our day because we didn’t do videography. I wanted to make sure we still caught all of the energy and special moments of the day and Robert seriously delivered above and beyond my expectations. He took amazing shots that tell the full story of our day and somehow remained essentially invisible while doing it. He was also SO kind, calm, and genuine. He was fast to respond to messages and fast with getting our photos to us. Professional, reliable, responsive, and just an awesome guy. We could not have asked for a better photographer!
We really loved working with Robert - he's a good communicator, great at giving direction on poses, flexible with your needs, and easygoing. We were also really happy with our photos. Our one point of criticism is that we sent him a shot list but he did not check in with us during family photos and as a result, we missed a few people we wanted to get group photos with (we weren't paying great attention, just got married, in the moment). Overall we had a positive experience, just make sure your planner or other family members also have your shot list on hand so nothing is missed!
Robert was professional and communicated quickly to all our questions. His work exceeded our expectations! He did a beautiful job capturing memories of our son’s wedding!
Robert was so professional and easy to work with! He is responsive, considerate, experienced, and extremely patient. I loved seeing all the details in our wedding photos and he was able to capture the story of the entire night. For someone who does not know how to pose and is an awkward picture taker, he made the process so easy for us by offering advice on what looks best and natural. He is passionate about his work and delivers quality results. I highly recommend him and could have not asked for a better photographer. Thank you for understanding our vision and helping us create a memorable night, Robert!
While I wish we would have met under more positive circumstances, I am certainly blessed to have not only met Robert, but to have had him capture those last precious moments… Days before, my Dad had told me his biggest regret in life, was not being able to walk me down the aisle. He had recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer and was told he had weeks left to live. Unbeknownst to us at the time, we would only have 28 days from initial diagnosis, to my Dad's passing. What we did know, was that time was running out and we needed to make something happen immediately. I needed photographs of me in my wedding gown with my Dad, and I needed them now. I found McBride Photos online and reached out with my urgent request. Robert responded immediately and was willing and able to make it happen. The weather was terrible and my Dad's strength was diminishing quickly, but Robert was understanding and flexible. He was not only able to take breathtaking photographs, but he captured my Dad's last "good" day. The process was incredibly emotional for our family, but Robert was professional, kind, and patient throughout. That evening, my Dad was asking why nobody had their phones out to take pictures, because he wanted to see them and had not known I had told everyone to keep their phones away. Just then, Robert sent over a couple of images to share with my Dad, knowing that he would not live to see the final results. My Dad lit up looking at the photographs and was so happy to have "walked me down the aisle”, even though he had only been able to take a few steps in his hallway. Because of Robert, I will always be able to look back and see the smile on my Dad’s face when he first saw me in my gown and I will have pictures of my Dad at my side, in my wedding album. Because of Robert, I have photos of my Dad with my brother and I and even family photos with my Dad and his siblings. The pictures Robert took are something my family and I will cherish forever. I am extremely grateful for the beautiful photos and truly blessed to have met Robert. In addition to being an incredible photographer, Robert is genuine, personable, and compassionate. I look forward to sharing the photos with my family on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend McBride Pictures!
McBride Pictures captured our wedding day beautifully! Robert was relaxed, easy to work with, professional, and kind. Honestly, exactly what you need on your wedding day. Any shots I requested he seamlessly made happen. Robert took amazing photos and I absolutely loved all the shots of our guests at their tables as well as dancing and interacting. It gave my husband and I a peek into moments we otherwise would of missed and seeing how much fun our guests seemed to have had on our wedding day! We our truly happy with our choice in McBride Pictures. We searched and searched to find someone that could fit our budget and give us quality photographs. Robert is that photographer and we will treasure all the gorgeous pictures he captured of our wedding day!
We have been looking at many photographers for our wedding and as soon as we saw Robert’s portfolio we were sure to choose his services. The quality of the pictures and his refined taste immediately resonated with us. Maybe even more important is how Robert takes the pictures. He has this cheerful engaging attitude that makes anyone want to pose for him. Professional and easygoing, Robert got us quickly through all the different angles and guest combinations so we could promptly return to celebrating this special day. He then became practically invisible getting the job done and in the end delivered a multitude of amazing professional shots of everyone and everything: the guests, the venue, the decorations, and the food. He was able to capture in a flattering light all the amazing moments of everyone just being themselves and celebrating with us. Robert gave us a preview of the pictures shortly after the wedding and then delivered the rest within a few short weeks.
We feel lucky that we crossed our paths with such an amazing photographer and a great person. Thank you, Robert!
Robert was the most perfect photographer for our wedding! He knew exactly what we wanted for our special day. He never felt intrusive or demanding, but rather quite the opposite! He was efficient as he understood time was limited and he even looked like he was having a good time! His photographs are absolutely stunning and I am so thankful we hired Robert for the big day. H was truly a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend!
Robert was a great photographer for our wedding. He was very accommodating and patient. He helped us work through our long list of photos we wanted to capture and even climbed a ladder to take a giant group photo! As awkward photo people, we felt at ease under his direction for our couples shoot and the results really showed it. He was detail oriented and made sure that everyone was looking their best. We appreciate the work he did at our wedding and all the photos he delivered after and couldn't recommend him more.
Robert is so helpful and his experience shows in the beautiful pictures he has provided for us to remember my only daughters wedding day forever. Thank you so much Robert! We love the pictures :)
I'm not the most patient person when it comes to having my picture taken but I must tell you, Robert made the experience actually pretty enjoyable. It was 106 degrees and we were married outdoors with a bunch of kids and grandkids running around. He managed it all like a real professional. And the end result are some of the greatest pictures we could have ever hoped for.
Don't hesitate to put your trust in him. He really is very good.
Robert was such a pleasure to work with. He is incredibly patient and thoughtful in his approach. His fee was so reasonable and the quality of his work far surpassed what we paid. He made things easy and comfortable. You won’t be disappointed!
When it came to finding a photographer for my wedding, I wanted one not only affordable but one who would take my pictures and they would look edited but also natural. You always see those wedding photographs that look super posed or they are sooo edited they almost look fake. So considering what I wanted it was sorta hard to find a photographer whose work I had liked, until my now husband researched on the knot and found Robert Mcbride and after looking at his work we knew we found our photographer. We had booked him after meeting with him and had the best experience when it came to him being so responsive when it came to communication/replying to my emails, aswell as even being so positive when I sadly had to push my wedding back the first time due to the pandemic.
So when it finally came to my wedding day, Robert came and was a rockstar. He came and caught every special moment and more, the poses we had done were so natural and of course a few of your obvious wedding poses but he didn't do the awkward ones people don't like doing. He was open to any ideas or poses we wanted to do, but we honestly left it all up to him to guide us which was the best decision I think I made cause he knew what would look good when it came to us. He was fast and on top of it when it came to keeping my pictures with in my cocktail hour so we didn't have guests waiting longer than needed, but within that hour he had taken every single picture me and my husband had wanted (us, us with family, us with wedding party, us with parents, etc) and through out the reception he took all the moments and the best action shots.
Robert not only had gave me a few sneaks peeks the morning after my wedding but he gotten all my pictures back to me in a fast and great timely manner, I got them all back within a month of my wedding which I feel like is unheard of not to mention sneak peeks the morning after your wedding. But he not only got them back to me but they were amazing. Me and my husband were over the moon and just by looking at them brought back all those butterflies from our wonderful day.
His work is truly amazing and he has such a passion for this you can really see it in in his work, especially when you go through all your pictures the first time. Everyone who have I spoken to since my wedding, has said how great they thought our photographer was cause he was on top of it and and was so informative on what he wanted to capture. And everyone who has seen my pictures since I have received them has either cried, or said how beautiful they are and that our photographer had really captured us, the expressions, the looks we gave one another and of course every single smile. Not to mention how affordable he was and how many pictures we had received was icing on the cake when it came to our experience. He didn't take any unnecessary pictures or pictures you wouldn't want and I feel like he got a picture of every single guest whether it was ceremony, reception, or even them arriving.
I would recommend Robert in a heart beat to anyone I know getting married. He truly is amazing at what he does.
Robert was wonderful from start to finish! He over delivered. I am so grateful we chose him to capture our big day. I would not hesitate to recommend Robert for your big day!
The absolute best photographer! He definitely wowed us with our engagement pictures. Then our wedding photos came and absolutely blew us away! His love for capturing beautiful weddings is immediately recognized as soon as you set eyes on his photos. His attention to detail is pristine and untouched. Not one things is left out. Going through these photos brought out each and every wonderful emotion we felt throughout our wedding day and it felt as though we were reliving it. He was so helpful when it came to backgrounds and posing and cake cutting because we clearly had no idea what we were doing. As we finished dinner he approached us with a gorgeous photo of the sunset and asked us to sneak away to get some photos. Let me tell you these ended up being both mine and my husbands absolute favorite photos. He even went as far as using his own lighting for our guests who were trying to get photos with us once it became dark. Our experience with Robert was so amazing it felt as though we were being photographed by a dear friend.
Robert was AMAZING!!! He was so organized and ready to go. Most of the time I didn’t even notice he was there taking pictures, yet he got the best absolute pictures. He was always very responsive and informative when I had a question. His photography skills are out of this world. I have gotten so many compliments on our photos. He also had a very fast turn around time in getting the pictures back to us. I would recommend McBride Photography to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. We will definitely be contacting him in the future for any photo shoots we need and recommending him to all of our friends and family! Thank you Robert for capturing our perfect day
Robert is very friendly, he was punctual, knowledgeable and passionate about his work his personality brought out the best in our guest and it shows in the quality of photos and the abundance of different pictures to choose from you will not regret hiring Robert. My wedding was approximately 50 people of immediate family and everybody loved him.
Robert was the best photographer we could have asked for! He is super sweet and down to earth, which lends him to be great with customer service while providing gorgeous pictures of your special day. Robert was super flexible when we had to move our wedding up by 6 months and switched to a week day. He was very kind and understanding as we needed to change packages and venue as well. I was nervous about only getting one photographer, but Robert delivered over 1500 photos during a 5 hour wedding! He stayed a bit extra to make sure and capture my father daughter dance which was scheduled past his leave time. He captured the cutest moments of my husband and I as we read our vows and also got the crowds’ reaction. He picked out some really sweet poses and beautiful locations at our venue to get great pics. Our other vendors complimented us on how much of a pleasure he is to work with, which is great for running a smooth event. Robert truly adores weddings, often reminiscing about his own or speaking fondly of his daughter’s wedding. You can see his passion for photography and love of weddings in our photos. I’m so happy we decided to work with Robert for our big day. He captured the photos we wanted while keeping us on budget. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a kind and talented photographer who will be genuinely happy to be at your special day.
Robert McBride was great to work with and is very professional. Robert is very flexible and captures great wedding shots that make for a memorable experience. Would recommend him to be our photographer for future special events.

Robert did an amazing job capturing our special day. We are very pleased with how the pictures came out. His professionalism and curiosity were outstanding. We would definitely hire him again!
Robert is Amazing! He listened to us from start to finished. He captured our Wedding and Reception. The details in every picture tells a story one that we will have for years to look back on. He took his time didn't makes us feel rushed. We got to living in the moment is why our pictures turn out so great. HE'S THE BEST!!
Thank you so very much...
The GOAT! Simply the Best
Robert McBride @mcbridepictures takes the cake when it comes to wedding photography. As soon as I saw the color in his portfolio I knew he was the one, then he proceeded to exceed my expectations. My wife is gorgeous and when you're working with the Aphrodite, you hire the "Botticelli of photography" to capture her beauty. Robert then really worked miracles and made me look handsome. I am basically the pre-Michelangelo pale ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and didn't realize I could look so good until an artist got ahold of me! Seriously, you could throw the finished photos up in the air and anything you caught could go straight into a magazine.
Pros:
He is the definition of Professional: Fast responses, timely, delivers
He was a ninja at the wedding! Zero distractions while capturing it all
Knows lighting like few artists do
Good pricing and passionate
Detail-oriented, focused, doesn't waste time, etc...
Cons:
None, stop reading reviews and hire him.
I am so so pleased with my photos! I booked him for my wedding on 11/8 and already received my sneak peek pictures! They are all gorgeous and Robert was so courteous and flexible with everything we wanted. My family and my in laws even commented on how good he was! So so pleased with the pictures and so thankful for him!
I couldn’t of asked for a better photographer, Robert was very professional and was able to capture my special day in such a beautiful way. Every picture tells a story and I can feel the love and laughter through my photos. Due to the fires we had some smoke in the air but you couldn’t even tell in the photos. Not only were the photos amazing but he go them to me in lightning speed. I got married on September 12th and I already have the photos in all their glory. Only thing I wish is that I had him there for even longer. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding you have come to the right place Robert is well worth every penny.
Robert did an amazing job photographing our wedding. He helped us feel comfortable when we aren’t used to be photographed, and we didn’t even notice he was there most of the time. He is also very kind and understanding. Our wedding had to be moved to be downsized due to the COVID-19, and he took the changes in stride. We had some family drama come up during pictures before the ceremony and he kept everything moving while still allowing us to handle the problem and compose ourselves to continue with pictures. On top of all of that, the pictures turned out beautifully and his prices really can’t be beat. With all of the craziness going on in the world right now and all of the changes we had to make to our wedding to keep it safe, it was so nice to not have to worry about whether our photographer would be able to manage the changes. If you want beautiful photos at an affordable price, with a great person to boot, Robert is your guy. My husband and I are so glad we picked him to work with.
Robert did an amazing job for our Wedding Day. He was very professional and personable. He made us feel very comfortable as well as allowing us to recomend different poses and would work with us to make the best picture possible. We were so happy we got to the chance to work with Robert and would highly recommend him to anyone!
My husband and I truly had the most amazing experience with McBride Pictures. Our wedding day had to be rescheduled and planned on multiple occasions due to the covid-19 pandemic, which meant more stress and planning with vendors. This gentlemen made the tedious and stressful process that much easier. Overall communication during the planning process and the wedding itself was great, he was informative and quick to respond. He truly honors his pricing for the packages and everything included with them. He worked so well with everyone at our wedding, the photos were fun to take but coordinated so they didn't drag on, and they came out more beautiful then I could have imagined. In my honest opinion, I think he goes above and beyond for his clients and you can truly see his love for photography.
Robert and his wife were absolutely amazing! Communication with Robert was a breeze, he always responded right away. He made sure to get the timeline for the day of in advance and really stuck to it, which I greatly appreciated. They were there on time, took incredible shots and captured the greatest moments. I would highly recommend Robert to any couple looking for a photographer for engagement or wedding photos. Can't forget to mention, his prices and quality are unbeatable! We will definitely be reaching out to him for family photos in the future. Highly recommend!
Robert is amazing, very professional and truly great at what he does!!! I recently got married 03/07/2020 at Catta Verdera and I am so very thankful I booked Robert. He capture every amazing shot. There was not one moment I didn't see him snapping pictures lol. He worked well with my other vendors which made this seamless.
I will absolutely book Robert again--hands down He is the best!!! I can tell he enjoys what he do because he does it well and with joy.
S/O to Robert McBride-thank you for capturing one of my most wonderful moments of my life. You Rock!
Robert was an amazing photographer! We were more than happy choosing him to capture our wedding. He took really good photos of the entire day and sent us our photos in one month. He was easy to communicate with us and prompt to answer any questions. Many of my guests commented on how personable he was and how he worked pretty much the entire night. And he took some amazing photos. Don't hesitate to hire him as he will not disappoint. We will be reccommending him to anyone who needs a photographer.
We loved working with Robert at McBride Pictures. Robert was very professional, communicative, and overall extremely easy to work with. Robert is also a great resource for planning and day of organization. We were very well pleased with the photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day. We would definitely recommend McBride Pictures to a relative or friend.
Everything I could have hoped for and more!
Robert was absolutely wonderful! He put me (an awkward photo taker) at ease and captured some fantastic photos from our day. He was personable and professional. He was very responsive in the pre-wedding, day of, and post-wedding process. He was flexible in our last minute request to upgrade our package to include a first look, which we are so glad we did. He even put up with our two rowdy dogs! Do not be fooled by his low prices - the quality is amazing.
I would highly recommend McBride Photos!!
Robert is a fantastic photographer to work with. He was very receptive to all our needs during both the engagement photo shoot and during the wedding reception. Thank you for working so hard to capture our moments!
Robert was absolutely amazing, thank you so much I cant express how grateful my husband and I are. Robert captured all those moments and I am so happy. I have pictures with my grandparents(candid) pictures so much emotion in them and I love them , pictures with my parents crying and I am just so happy because that all I wanted ALOT of pictures and beautiful pictures and Robert did just that . Know I just have to design my wedding album.
Robert McBride completely exceeded all of our expectations and some! The pictures came out AWESOME. He did a fantastic job capturing real moments as well as getting the classic photos. We had a residential backyard wedding and McBride hid the eye sores in the landscape well! We gave him little to no direction and he made sure to cover all of the requests we did have. He helped in so many ways to ensure our day went smooth, it is obvious that he cares a lot about his clients and truly enjoys what he does. Right before our ceremony, our microphone battery died and in seconds he lent us his extra battery!! He is patient, helpful, assertive when needed to capture those moments, quick on his feet and just a cool person to have around. He is professional and very experienced in photographing weddings. We recommend him with the highest regard. Thank you for your help in making our day and our pictures PERFECT!!!!
My husband and I would like to give a glowing recommendation for Robert McBride photography. Robert was an absolute joy to work with from the very first communication. He is extremely kind, professional, responsive, and made the planning of our engagement and wedding photography a breeze and enjoyable! For our engagement shoot, he was extremely flexible with time and venue as we had a busy schedule with the purchase of our new home. Our engagement photos are absolutely breathtaking and we've had so many responses from family and friends about how wonderful our pictures are! Robert was equally as amazing to work with on our wedding day, and again, was so flexible, kind, and made the day smooth and enjoyable. We have received our wedding photos and are absolutely blown away with the quality of the images. They are candid and posed and capture beautifully every moment of our special day. Our guests enjoyed Robert as did our family and wedding party. He made it fun! I'm so thankful we chose Robert for our wedding photography, we couldn't be happier! Our family and friends are raving about our amazing pictures and I can't wait to get them in an album and up on our walls to enjoy daily! His pricing, professionalism, great personality, and his undeniable talent are hard to beat! If you want great pictures and an amazing photographer to work with, you can't find a better photographer than Robert McBride! We will treasure his photos for a lifetime! Robert will remain our chosen photographer for all our lifetime events in the future! We thank you Robert!

If you are looking for a photographer that is professional, easy to work with, won’t break the budget, and will give you photos that you will cherish forever; McBride Pictures is the photographer for you!
My wife and I hired McBride Pictures because we noticed how passionate he was about taking pictures. We were reassured of this decision when Robert ran all over Downtown Sacramento with us for 5 hours for our engagement shoot. Through the whole process of preparation, Robert was extremely easy to work with and communicated very well.
The day of our wedding, we had a few of our guests tell us that they had Robert photograph their weddings and how happy they were with his product. Throughout the night, our guests kept coming up to us to tell us how awesome our photographer was. And we noticed the hard work he was doing, not by the typical wedding poses he had us doing, but by the fact that any time there was an opportunity for a picture Robert was there. Every time we went to hug a guest and thank them for coming, Robert was there. We just got our pictures back a few days ago and he delivered over 2000 photos and we literally have a picture with every single person that attended. We love all of the photos and are having a hard time choosing our favorites.
We are so grateful for McBride Pictures and we will recommend his services to any one in need and we will definitely be calling him for future needs 🙂. Thank you Robert!
My husband and I loved Robert's work the moment we saw his website. He had the aesthetic we were looking for without the enormous price tag some were trying to put. We valued his professionalism too, as he was very prompt and replied to emails/texts super quickly. The day of the wedding he arrived early and took amazing pictures! My family was so happy that he was flexible and super professional even with 15+ kids to get to look at a camera! He was one of the few vendors I did not have to worry about! We got our pictures back within the time frame promised (and a lot sooner than my whole family expected i.e. in less than a month we had them!) We are so happy that we were able to get Robert for our wedding! We loved our pictures!
Robert is a true professional and a great pleasure to work with! His pricing is very reasonable per the amazing services and quality photos we received. It was awesome to see him spot beautiful locations and scenery in areas we would normally overlook. His passion for photography is fun to watch and be a part of. The turnaround was quick and the photos turned out beyond perfect--which made it very difficult for us to choose just one photo for our Save the Date cards! We look forward to working with him again very soon!
Absolutely wonderful!
Robert was such a pleasure to work with, he did such an amazing job capturing our special day. I absolutely LOVE my photos. He is punctual, professional, affordable, and so talented. He is easy to work with and and has great communication. I even got compliments from our guests about how proactive he was but also hardly knew he was there. We have so many good photos to choose from, we cannot be happier! Highly recommended. Thank you!
Working with Robert was amazing! From the first email sent, he was on top of everything & very personable. His prices are phenomenal, which honestly scared me at first because it was so cheap. However, the photos are sooo amazing! And I have over 1000 photos!! We used his wife as the second photographer and she took amazing photos, too! They captured every one of my must haves and then some. I loved how into photographing he got, and he also took the time to chit chat about life outside of photography and get to know my Husband and I. I cannot wait to make a scrapbook with all of these photos and decorate my house with them. I will forever recommend Robert McBride Pictures, and will definitely use him in the future!
After a few weeks of tireless searching, my husband and I stumbled upon Robert. Not only were his photos stunning, but he was within our budget. Initially, we thought we were looking at prices that hadn’t been updated. How could someone who had such beautiful photos be so affordable, we wondered. We reached out to Robert, and sure enough, his prices were current, so we booked him right away.
Working with Robert was incredible. From the moment we started emailing about our wedding, we knew that we had found a photographer who truly cared about his work. He wanted to know our vision for the photos and told us that we could create a Pinterest board to show him what we were interested in. This was so surprising to me because I have worked with other photographers who were really resistant to changing their style.
Not only was Robert willing to bring our vision to life, but he was really helpful when planning the timeline of our wedding and knew a lot about lighting and pacing of events.
When the week of the ceremony came, my husband and I created a timeline for Robert to follow that would just give him a general guideline of how we wanted the day to go. Robert was extremely mindful of the timeline during the day of, making sure my husband and I were done with our posed photos by the exact time we had written down. This was really helpful because no matter how much of a planner you may be, getting married is a weird out of body experience and you will lose track of time. He also built in a lot of breaks for me.
From the time Robert arrived to the time he left, I don’t think I ever saw him stop moving. We just got our photos back (3 weeks later and absolutely beautiful) and were able to see that he literally captured every aspect of our day. Both the photos and Robert were more than we could have ever hoped for, and we feel so grateful to have stumbled upon him.
There is so much to say about Robert! He did an incredible job and made my day the best! The photos were incredible and the price was very cheap. He worked very hard and did everything he could to make my day a breeze. I highly recommend him for any of your photographer needs!!
From start to finish, we had a great experience working with Robert McBride. I chose to meet with Robert because #1 I liked his photography style, and #2 he was affordable. After meeting with him, I knew Robert truly enjoyed Photography, so we decided to hire him! I sent him a list of photos that I wanted captured, as well as inspiration pictures. He did a good job and we love our pictures! We really appreciate how patient he was during our reception, at times when I felt rushed and flustered, he slowed the moment down and made sure the lighting was good before he moved on to the next picture. You could see him switch between cameras if he wasn't getting the best picture (I don't know if it was the lighting or the lenses). He also sent teaser photos a couple days after the wedding, and got everything back to us in three weeks! You have complete printing rights. Again, our experience was great, and we 100% recommend!
Robert went above and beyond on providing beautiful pictures as well as professional service. My husband and I do not live in California, so all our communication was via emails and texting. Every message I sent was responded to within the same day. Robert was a ninja at the wedding! He captured beautiful moments that I didn’t even see! After the wedding, I had many guest complimenting on how much they enjoyed Robert. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants beautiful pictures to remember forever!
Robert did such a great job with our engagement and wedding photos. We were nervous about hiring someone that we found randomly online for such a big, important event. Robert did an amazing job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and while taking pictures. The quality of the photos is amazing and we couldn't be happier with the experience, price, and person behind the camera!
Definitely don't hesitate to hire him!
You have got to pick Robert! My husband and I are not familiar and experienced with professional photographers, and we met with Robert for our engagement photos and knew it would be great! He was so awesome about encouraging us to try this or that, and for our wedding, he made sure we captured all of the love we felt. There are so many beautiful pictures of our guests getting to celebrate our beautiful day, we had both worked so hard to plan this day that our friends and family could share with us. And the photos that Robert took really show that our guests loved it as much as we wanted them to! Robert is a rockstar, and when you choose him as your photographer, you get the whole package, and someone who will do everything that they can do make your dreams and ideas into something amazing!
Pick McBride photos!
Robert did an AMAZING job on our wedding photos. We've gotten so many compliments on them and people asking for his information so they can hire him. He makes everything so easy. My husband isn't super comfortable taking photos, but he looks like a natural thanks to Robert! The price is unbeatable, the quality is exceptional, and his responsiveness and turnaround time is outstanding. We received our wedding photos only 10 days after our wedding. Seriously, hire Robert and I promise you won't be disappointed!
Robert was a fantastic photographer! He made everyone feel comfortable and really made things easy. There was a few things going wrong with our wedding, but Robert was not one of them! He put us all at ease, and is honestly the service we do not regret spending money on.
My husband and I got married in May 2018 and we are so happy that we used McBride Pictures! The pricing is so reasonable that we wondered if there is a catch. Besides each other, the photos were most important to us. When we met Robert in person, he explained his pricing and it made a lot of sense. He was professional from the start, has good reviews, and has won awards- so we decided to book him. The package includes an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and get used to Robert. He was always more concerned about us getting good photos than the time. The pics turned out gorgeous! Robert was timely in responding when I had questions and it was easy to come up with the photography schedule for the wedding day. I didn’t know where to begin so he provided an example, then we made adjustments. He was very flexible with whatever we asked, and helpful when we needed ideas. We chose to do a first look and take photos before the ceremony, which made a longer day for Robert… but he never complained. He even agreed to stay an hour longer than planned. The day of the wedding Robert arrived on time and took photos of my dress, the rings, and other details… before taking pictures of me and my girls (and the guys) getting ready. He had lots of good ideas for poses. The first look, photos with the bridal party, etc all went very smooth and we had fun. During the ceremony Robert took a lot of photos but was not distracting. During the reception he was always around for any photos we needed. Robert got our photos back to us within a month, which was fast compared to the 3-4 mos I hear it takes most photographers. And he gave us all of the ones that he took! He gladly did any editing changes. There were some that I thought weren’t as “sharp” as they should be, but Robert did everything he could to make sure that we were completely satisfied. And we are! We will definitely use him again, and you should use him too!
Robert is truly one of a kind. We loved working with him and we are very lucky to have found him!
He was very helpful from the beginning up to the end. He recommended the best spots to use for our engagement photos and was able to work with us and our furry babies! He didn't mind that we took our parents with us too and followed us around the whole day. He even offered to meet us halfway since we are at least 2 hours away from where he lives and we had furry babies with us but we couldn't make him drive too far on Superbowl Sunday! Yes, he didn't even mind that we picked that day to do our photoshoot! Truly professional. :)
On our wedding day he showed up early to scope down the place and didn't even need an assistant to get all the 'getting ready' shots he needed. He's always so positive and gave us compliments and great pointers when working with us. He also worked very diligently with our 2 videographers even though they have not worked or met with each other before!
We received our photos 3 weeks from our wedding day and we absolutely adore every single one of the images. He made our wedding day so special by capturing all the beautiful memories. Looking at the images makes me want to do the whole thing over again!
If you need an affordable, stress-free experience with THE BEST results, Robert is your guy! You will not regret it. :)
Robert was amazing to work with. We live in Florida but were having the wedding in California. He was easy to keep in communication with long distance. I was able to send him pictures of poses we liked and he made sure we got them done. He was busy taking pictures the entire time he was there. He got so many great candids as well as beautiful pictures of the wedding party. He definitely went above and beyond on our special day and captured everything. We got the proofs back quickly which was great. Very much recommend him!
Robert was fantastic!! Not only are his pictures beautiful and professional but he was just a joy to work with. He was never too busy to answer our emails and he went above and beyond to be accommodating. His prices are so amazingly reasonable, especially for the extremely high quality photos and service. He listened to what we wanted and was kind a courteous to us as well as all our guests. We simplly can’t recommend him enough!
We had been searching for a photographer and were coming up short finding someone that was artistically what we wanted and in our price range. Then we found Robert who almost seemed to good to be true. His photos were stunning and he was well within our price range. When we had a phone interview to see if he was right for us he continued to impress us. He let us see several complete weddings; instead of just having a few great photos. We were able to see how consistent he is as a photographer. The day of our wedding he was more then accommodating and represented all of our guest beautifully. We were shocked how many angles he had of the same photo, he is a ninja with the camera. We never felt like he was in the way. He also has a great demeanor for working with larger groups in photos and helps us to make adjustments to get the best photo. He captured the little details that we had no other photos of. Our photos were ready in 3 weeks and we were beyond happy with them. They looked natural and not over photo shopped with fake light sources. We were so lucky to find Robert and he is worth every penny plus some!
Robert was so amazing throughout the whole process of booking him for my wedding and the day of! His pictures are amazing and I am so in love with how they turned out!!
He was extremely professional and easy to work with. He did not require a lot of directions, which made our day that much better. Photos also came out great.
We absolutely loved working with Robert! He was very concerned about making sure we got everything that we wanted and gave us more than we possibly could have expected for the price. Robert's work is incredible--he does both candid and posed photos and shooting with him felt very natural as he gives great direction and you can really tell that he loves what he does. In addition to photos at our ceremony and reception sites, Robert let us pick out a place in the woods where we wanted to do another shoot. We received almost 2000 photos from him that we can go through whenever we want and print as many times as we want, and I love every single one of them. Robert is extremely professional and the friendliest guy, and he really took into consideration our input--even telling us we could put together a Pinterest board of ideas and a shot list so that he could make sure we got everything that we wanted. Our wedding day was probably the hottest day of the summer, it was over 108 degrees at our ceremony location and no matter how miserable he had to have been wearing all black he did not in any way try to rush us through our photos! We would definitely recommend him to any and everyone around, there is no one better!
