Rob Hickey Photography

My wife and I worked with Rob this past June for our wedding. Rob was fantastic to work with. He was very responsive to all of our communications and always answered our questions with a detailed response. He was very helpful in working out the timeline for our wedding day to ensure everything ran smoothly. He researched the area we did our pictures in advance of our wedding day to find the most ideal location for the pictures. Rob’s second photographer Morgan was also great to work with. Our pictures turned out beautiful and our families were very happy with them. Rob also helped us design our wedding album and it turned out exactly how we wanted. We highly recommend Rob for your wedding day.

Rob was so professional and made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day! He even went to bat for us when our wedding venue didn't follow through with providing us the necessary materials to do our wedding party photos!

Rob was our wedding photographer this past October and he was amazing. Both he and his second shooter (Asa, I think) were so energetic and excited but in a way that didn't feel cumbersome in any way. Our pictures turned out beautiful. One of the reasons we chose Rob is because his photography style is timeless, yet still modern. A lot of photographers we looked at heavily edited photos and they all had a moody vibe, which is also beautiful, but we wanted something a little more classic. One of my favorite things about working with Rob was how he would help direct us into poses and natural situations that made for beautiful candids. He'd even come over and mimic what he was going for to show an example and help us understand the shot. I don't love being photographed and I was nervous about hating how I looked in photos, but I love every single one. A huge part of that was Rob's direction and how comfortable he made us. Rob and Asa were so dedicated to getting us beautiful shots. They were everywhere and nowhere all at the same time and became such a special part of our day. (Not to mention, he had the best pricing packages out of everyone we looked at.) 100% would book again and highly recommend them for any wedding or photography needs you have!

Rob is the photographer you want to hire for your wedding. We met Rob at our friends' destination wedding and it was highlighted to us then his attention to detail and friendliness with guests and other vendors. After witnessing him in session and seeing the photos afterward, we decided to hire him to shoot our wedding and that was one of the best decisions. He was very quick to respond to our inquiries and shared his insights and ideas. During the wedding day, he was patient with us and made sure to capture all the moments we discussed prior. He went above and beyond and we are very happy with his service. Thank you, Rob! You are amazing!

Rob was fantastic for our wedding! Very responsive when coordinating all of the planning, and was fully engaged throughout the entire celebratory day. We are so pleased to have worked with Rob and would 200% recommend him. The photos are outstanding and beautifully capture the joy of our entire event.

We highly recommend Rob Hickey as a wedding photographer. He exceeded all of our expectations. Our photos came out beautifully. He truly has a talent and will make you feel comfortable and guide you throughout the whole process. He is professional, communication is great and his photos speak for themselves.

Rob and Megan were amazing! They made us feel comfortable throughout each photo session and we’re very easy to work with. Highly recommend!!

Rob was by far our favorite vendor on our wedding day. We used his 8-9 hour package with 2 shooters and opted to get to know him better with getting our engagement pictures with him. Rob is a truly refined photographer. He gives great cues along the way to make sure everyone looks good in the photos, avoids being over-posed, and captures all the special candid moments along the way. Rob was our most responsive vendor-always emailing back within 24 hours. He also had such a calming presence on the big day. He truly exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend him!

My husband and I are so happy we decided to book with Rob! He did a phenomenal job capturing both our engagement session and wedding day! Rob is very organized, flexible, and always responds to you in a timely manner. He is laid back and calm which is a great presence to have on your wedding day. He is also always open to do any fun or creative ideas! My husband and I were so happy and impressed with the variety of pictures in our final gallery. Rob is an amazing photographer and a really great guy to work with - you will not be disappointed if you book with him!

Booking Rob for our special day was one of the best decisions we made. When I first met Rob I had no idea what we were looking for In regards to a photographer. However Rob was super nice! he explained his style , ideas, and thoughts. He came fully prepared with many images of weddings he has done. (absolutely beautiful)The Day of are wedding was absolutely amazing. Working with Rob was great everyone felt so comfortable with him around. He was very polite. Rob was very diligent and prepared. We Thank him very much for everything .

Highly recommend Rob for wedding photography! Rob shot our engagement session and our wedding day. In addition to many beautiful photos, Rob was super on top of all the details. He helped us scout photo locations, even visiting the spot in advance and thinking about details such as how wet the grass might be, he helped me with my wedding day timeline, and he is super prompt with email responses and answering questions. I felt very confident on my wedding day that i didn't have to worry at all about the photography. I also really appreciated that he offers a second shooter for a very low cost - that allowed us to have two shooters for the first look and ceremony without breaking the bank. Great experience overall and I received many compliments from my guests about him!

Rob did a phenomenal job for our wedding! He is very professional, knowledgeable, and easy going. All of our photos came out amazing and we couldn’t be happier!

Rob is an amazing photographer! My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding a couple of times and Rob was always responsive and flexible. He even drove a few hours away to photograph our small 2020 ceremony. He is both laid back and very organized! We are very happy we were able to work with him!

My wife and I are so happy we chose to go with Rob. He’s very skilled professional but also is a great person which makes him easy to work with and talk to. His second photographer was wonderful as well. Our photos turned out amazing and we love when we look back at them every so often. He put all our photos on a gallery website with a password so it made it super easy to share our photos with all our wedding guests. From photos taken outside in the rain to the ones taken inside on a dark dance floor, the quality of the images are for sure professional quality! We would recommend Rob Hickey to anyone in need of a wedding photographer.

I first met Rob when I was playing organ for another couple's wedding, and noticed Rob's respectful approach during the ceremony, his relaxed and professional style, the efficiency of his movements, and the courtesy with which he treated his second shooter. Having handled the music for many, many weddings, I've had the chance to experience many photographers and their styles, so I knew Rob would be a good choice. He was great to work with from the very beginning; he was calm, kind, and knew what questions to ask so that he could give his best. You can expect prompt emails, very reasonable pricing, and a lot of flexibility on the day.

Rob is phenomenal! He not only captured every glorious moment of the day, but he also found ways to incorporate fun and creative shots! All in all he was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend using Rob Hickey Photography for your photography needs!

We absolutely loved working with Rob! During our consultation, he listened closely to what we wanted our wedding photos to look like and was willing to do anything necessary to deliver that to us. During our wedding day, he was always there to capture those memorable moments (both planned and spontaneous). Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and we could not be happier with our decision to hire Rob.

Hiring Rob was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! The pictures we got are absolutely stunning and we will treasure them forever. From the outset Rob was a joy to work with. He was very professional and had a lot of great ideas. He also really listened to us and took everything we wanted into account. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, you will not be disappointed!

Having Rob as our Photographer was really a great experience! He was laid back and was helpful coordinating everything for our day. We love our photos and they came back quick! He was flexible when we had to move our wedding and was willing to work with anything we threw at him.

There isn't enough time or space to give Rob all the praise he deserves! He is incredibly professional yet easy and fun to work with but more importantly, he is organized, very detail oriented, and knows exactly what to do to ensure that everything goes smoothly on your wedding day from a photography standpoint! The quality of the experience of working with Rob in addition to the quality of the work he delivers are the reasons why I would highly recommend him to everyone! From our engagement session to our wedding day, it was always abundantly clear that his #1 priority was to genuinely invest in providing us with the highest quality of service and photography which is exactly what he delivered! What truly impressed me is that he seemed to consistently go above and beyond and out of his way to make sure he was prepared and able to deliver 110%. Bottom line advice - never pass up the opportunity to work with Rob if you get the chance!

From the start, it was clear that Rob was thoughtful, responsive, and detail-oriented. He was happy to answer any questions we had leading up to the day, often within minutes of us asking. Of all the stress and planning that went into the big day, we never once worried about our photographer. Day of, Rob was extremely professional with staff, vendors, and most importantly, our guests. He was a pro at getting everyone where they needed to be, when they needed to be there, but also did a wonderful job of not encroaching on personal moments or festivities. We absolutely adore the photos -- both the candid and posed pictures. There are a great mix of more traditional style portraits and fun, stylistic pictures. The wedding was such a blur, we were so glad Rob meticulously captured all of the details for us to look back on and cherish.

First thing we did after our engagement was search for a venue and photographer. Rob was our first pick and we are so happy he was available. From the start Rob was very responsive especially during the pandemic. We lived in VA so trying to find a weekend where we could meet and do our engagement photos was tough. He gave us a few spots for us to pick from and as soon as we were ready he planned out everything, from where we were going to start, poses, and we even started to improvise. His pictures were amazing, he really kept us engaged, knew when to get our attention and when to let us be natural with each other. He captured all the right moments, the laughter, the love and the candid. He sent us all the photos leaving us to decide which ones we wanted which is more than we could have asked for. Wedding day, Rob and his second were amazing. The pictures from the bridal suite with the girls getting ready were so much fun, and he caught all the fun pictures. During the ceremony, and the reception, Rob captured all aspects that made the venue and party so spectacular. It was a blast for us to relive moments, and experience moments for the first time through his pictures. Besides being a great photographer, he was such an amazing person to have on our special day. He kept the energy light and positive even in stressful moments. We were truly honored and grateful to get to know him and have him photograph our day!

Having Rob as the photographer was probably the best decision we made for our wedding. He was so easy to work with and captured every part of the day beautifully. We had so many guests comment on how great he was throughout the day and night. The formal photos were just stunning and for people like us who feel a little awkward in front of a camera, he was really helpful with making everything feel relaxed while still guiding us into the right angles and positions. All of the photos look so bright and natural and we could not be happier with how they turned out. I especially love that we have so many candids of moments we didn’t get to see throughout the evening. I HIGHLY recommend Rob Hickey for your wedding!

Rob was so great to work with! We did both our engagement and wedding photos with him! I love his candid style and they way he captures the moments! My pictures are beautiful! I loved everything!

In a year where our wedding plans were constantly in flux, working with Rob was an easy decision. Rob's portfolio online speaks for itself, and we quickly realized that Rob is a kind and flexible business owner. Rob stuck with us through changed plans, and gave us the reassurance that if we had to reschedule and he had a conflict, we would just pay for our engagement session. For our engagement photos, Rob followed us around the city in the cold to four locations, spending over three hours. At our wedding, Rob was calm, organized, and efficient. My sister in law texted me to say that if I didn't write a review for Rob, she would. She has an eye disorder, and Rob made sure she was on the "right side," throughout the entire night. If you're planning a pandemic wedding, you can rest assured Rob's got *anything* 2021 throws your way covered, and you'll have incredible photos of your celebration at the end of it all.

Rob was amazing. My husband and I couldn’t have picked a better photographer to so perfectly capture our very non-traditional wedding day! We had a spot picked out for our outdoor ceremony and some other loose ideas in mind, but Rob helped with more research and planning out our day. He was very accessible and made the whole process SO easy. My husband and I aren’t much for taking pictures—didn’t have any engagement photos or anything done, so Rob tailored to our personalities more and did mostly candid photos, but the posed photos didn’t feel awkward, weren’t excessive, and came out so beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend Rob for anyone needing anything from a laid back family portrait session to a full day of wedding photos.

After our initial photographer very unprofessionally backed out, we found ourselves in a desperate search for a new one with about a month left. We were looking for someone who would work with us and for us, as our wedding was unusually small due to COVID (5 people plus us), we were only looking for a few hours of someone's time. I had a lot of responses in my initial frantic search. Sometimes, you just trust your gut and run with it! We could not have been more pleased. Rob was so responsive from the very first contact. He answered so many questions and never seemed put off by any of them. He continued to respond to questions after our digital files arrived and always did so in a timely manner. The day of our ceremony, he was personable, hard-working, patient and most of all FUN! We had some issues with the sun on the water and he waited patiently, never holding us hostage to his watch or the exact amount of time we had agreed to. Once our pictures arrived, my husband and I were literally brought to tears going through them and re-living our special day. He captured some amazing moments and even some of the "posed" pictures were playful without us having a clue that day. His talent is amazing, it speaks for itself. Talent is important. Talent isn't / shouldn't be all that matters in my opinion. Having someone who genuinely cares about you on your special day, spends time with you, asks repeatedly if there is any other pose you would like or anything 'he may have missed, that is all such a huge part of choosing a photographer. In normal times, this person may be with you all day long. You will not regret having Rob around or the pictures he takes. I cannot thank Rob enough for capturing our special day through the photos he took.

Rob captured our wedding day so beautifully and with such ease. Half the time we didn’t even know he was there, allowing us to be fully present with one another and with our guests. During those times, he sneakily captured the raw emotions and natural beauty of our day. During posed photos, he provided the guidance needed, but ensured we were comfortable and never overly staged. Not only were we 110% pleased with the final gallery Rob provided, but we loved working with him from start to finish. From our first meeting through the big day, he was clear, thorough, & communicative; he was attentive & thoughtful; and overall a genuinely good guy. He went above and beyond for us… He stayed past the allotted time without charging extra. He was flexible through all of the covid changes. He gave us a gift on our wedding day. He mingled with our friends & family. And providing the personalized USB with all of the photos is such a nice touch! Rob takes a genuine interest in his couples, which puts him above so many other wedding vendors. Thank you again, Rob. We would share a beer with you any day!

Rob is everything my husband and I could have hoped for. After we hired Rob, our original wedding was delayed due to COVID and we decided to have an intimate ceremony instead. Rob worked with us every step of the way. He is communicative, friendly, his prices are reasonable and his photography is outstanding. We wanted a mix of candid and posed photos and he gave us a great mix of both. Every photo he gave us was fantastic, from the first look to the ceremony and the photos of our loved ones. I am so glad that we hired Rob over everyone else. He went above and beyond in every way and I cannot even believe the value we got when we hired him. He gave us formal photos that look classic, candid shots with my friends looking overjoyed, cool modern photos with smoke and moody lighting, and photos of our band jamming out! He even photoshopped my in laws next to us because they wanted to maintain social distancing. We could not stop talking about how great he was after our wedding. After the wedding, he set up a great online gallery that myself, my husband and my mother-in-law could access. He even gave us a custom engraved USB. I will cherish these photos forever.

Rob has been such a pleasure to work with! He takes the time to listen to your style and vision and adapts to the personalities of everyone around you during your event. Rob creates natural poses by using his surrounding environment and resources. He guides and provides as much or as little support necessary in order to capture those intimate moments during your event. Rob has been very accommodating, especially during the pandemic, where venues and guidelines were constantly being altered. He is willing to travel to multiple locations in order to capture those special moments. I would highly recommend Rob for any event!

Rob has been such a great vendor to work with. We were really happy to have him as our photographer for our engagement photos. Although the plan was for him to be our wedding photographer, we had to postpone and he was already booked on our new date. Regardless of that, he gave us amazing photos for our Save the Dates and I also used them on our website. He was flexible, easy to communicate with. Artistically, he's able to highlight the beauty of ordinary places. We did at our engagement sessions at High Falls and Downtown by the Liberty Pole and the results were fantastic. Everyone loved our photos, and they made for great memories. I will cherish them forever. Thank you, Rob.

We worked with Rob for our wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn. He was one of the first vendors we had decided on and he was always professional and responsive. He was helpful and insightful as we worked to pick photo locations around the city prior to our ceremony and provided great suggestions. On the day off we needed to change some of our photo sites due to pouring rain. Rob didn’t miss a beat. He as able to come up beautiful and creative shots at the new location. His positive attitude and guidance during the shooting put us and the wedding party at ease. Throughout the day his passion for his work and commitment to us really showed through. Rob was very quick to get us samples of the photos to post online and share with friends after the wedding! A short while later he had all the photos online for us to access; they were everything we hoped for and he was sure to hit all of the shots we really wanted. We could not be happier with our choice to use Rob as our photographer and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for gorgeous wedding photos!

Rob was fantastic! We needed to replace our photographer on short notice and he ended up being a perfect fit. His pricing was reasonable but his service was invaluable. He was a consummate professional and worked with us consistently throughout our wedding planning process and on the wedding day to make sure we got the photos we wanted. He made our very special day that much more memorable by providing both excellent service and a great final product.

I would 100% recommend Rob! He was extremely easy to contact and communicate with! He was very respectful, professional and fun on the big day. Not to mention he took amazing and beautiful photos. He was very centered around our wants and needs, making sure to ask many questions and following up when we had any questions as well. Over all, Rob made our day more comfortable and enjoyable for us.

From the time of our first communication to receiving the final product, Rob made our pictures an easy, enjoyable process. Aside from knowing how to take amazing pictures in any setting and atmosphere, he is very personable and easygoing, responsive to email and texts, and reasonable in pricing. We were very happy with our pictures and would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a photographer.

We used Rob & a second photographer, Morgan, for our wedding and we could not have been happier! He was incredibly responsive to our questions & very easy to work with. We also got both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures back in less than one month! He is very reasonably priced based on the market and his level professionalism & incredible work. We really cannot say enough great things about the photos that he takes- 10/10 recommend!

We met Rob after winning a free engagement session at one of the Rochester Bridal Shows. Right away, we had an instant connection! Rob was honest, professional, flexible, and amazing to work with. He was willing to meet us an hour away from Rochester to shoot at a new location for our session. We were nervous at the beginning of the photoshoot but by the end, we felt more comfortable and relaxed thanks to Robs’ guidance! After our engagement session, we knew right away we wanted Rob to shoot our wedding day. He took the time to really get to know us and learn what was most important for us on the wedding day. He came early to the first location to get the getting ready photos. Then, he took photos at our ceremony location (many different beautiful angles of our ceremony). We then took photos at a park near our reception venue. Our wedding party was bigger than most, but he captured all our personalities and made the day more special. You can tell right away Rob loves what he does and is very knowledgeable. All of our engagement and wedding photos were spectacular; we receive compliments everyday of how beautiful the photos are! We recommend Rob for any photography occasion!

My husband and I were both very picky about what we wanted from our wedding photographer and we were very pleased with Rob and his work. I found his website from an online bridal site and immediately fell in love with the natural-looking style of his work. From day 1, Rob was professional and easy to work with. He had us fill out a questionnaire and spoke with us over the phone (as we live out of state) before the wedding to learn what our expectations were for the day. He listened to what we were looking for and made sure that was what he delivered. He captured so many big and small moments that beautifully show the joy felt by us and our guests during the whole day. His creativity also left us with many shots we love but never would have thought to get, including many beautiful candid shots. He was very relaxed and just captured the day as it unfolded. We are so impressed by how the photos make it seem like he managed to be everywhere to capture every detail of the ceremony and reception, but he was not the least bit intrusive. Overall, I am so happy that we made the choice to hire Rob for this important job and that we have so many beautiful photos to always remind us of our beautiful day!

If you want the true magic of your day captured, then you should hire Rob Hickey to be your wedding photographer. Not only is Rob exceptionally easygoing, he's also incredibly professional. He has a quick, artistic eye and knows how to get an incredible shot at every turn. Photography was a top priority for us, and Rob exceeded our expectations. His photojournalistic approach allows for many candid moments and had everyone at the wedding very relaxed in front of the camera. Our photos look timeless and sophisticated. We would also recommend booking Rob for an engagement shoot because not only do the photos look great, but you have the opportunity to work with him prior to the big day and get familiar with his style. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. -Renee & Patrick Kelly

Rob is professional, attentive, fun, extremely talented, and worth every penny. Rob was the second shooter at our wedding. It was clear that he has an incredible eye and can find the most beautiful backdrops in the most uncommon places. Because of that, we hired him to take pictures to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. We sent Rob some ideas ahead of time and he made all our requests come true while making my husband and I look natural. Despite only being a two-hour session, going to two locations, and doing a wardrobe change, we never felt rushed and he was constantly showing us previews on his camera so we left our session knowing we were getting exactly what we wanted. My husband and I highly recommend Rob and we can't thank him enough for our beautiful pictures.

My wife and I found Rob on the knot and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Rob took the time to meet with us and figure out who we were as a couple in order to best serve our needs as a photographer. He was very professional and responsive in coordinating meetings. He made us both feel comfortable for our engagement photos and at our wedding. For my wife and I, that was a big deal for us. He had us laughing the whole time, smiling, and joking around. We truly enjoyed our time taking photos and they came out looking great! Lastly, I appreciated how flexible Rob was in dealing with our special day. He really makes it a point to let you know that he is there to support you and make sure your day goes as planned. It is comforting to have that reassurance on one of the busiest days of your life. Thanks for being wonderful, Rob!

I cannot say enough amazing things at Rob. From the beginning he was able to answer all of our questions and provide plenty of examples. The day off my wedding, he was flexible and accommodating even though I was sick and needed more breaks than I anticipated. If you want a photographer who finds the coolest shots and angles along with being a ray of sunshine on your wedding day putting any nerves out of your way then Rob is your guy!!!

My wife and I are very happy that we went with Rob Hickey Photography. Rob came right to our house and brought several examples of his work for us to view. Rob will tell you that he will try to make it seem like he isn't there to capture more natural photos. He does just that! The photos were very natural and in the moment. Very few were staged during the reception, which really captured the joy and fun during the night. Rob is very skilled in various areas of photography and is always trying new things. Rob had some great ideas with sparklers, the sunset, and off-camera lighting. The creativeness really showed in our photos. Rob's prices were very reasonable and he also offered a wedding photography registry that we took advantage of, receiving gifts through this from our guests. Rob works with some great photographers so I highly recommend that you choose a package with two photographers.

When my search for a photographer started I was feeling overwhelmed with all of the different packages and price points everyone had to offer. I had to choose what I thought might fit our needs based on websites and reviews since we live out of state. I came across Rob's work and knew pretty quickly that his style fit exactly what we were looking for. Communication was easy as he was very quick to respond to emails and sent us a few full weddings to look through that he had done before we officially signed on with him. His attention to detail is amazing and he is very laid back and easy to work with. We are thrilled with how our photos turned out and highly recommend Rob for your big day!!

Very pleased with our experience with Rob. Easy to communicate with along with talented. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I had a fantastic time working with Rob! He was great about communicating all the necessary details leading up to the wedding, made sure to capture all the family and group pictures we wanted and made the whole process so easy! We had multiple guests make a point to tell us they thought he was fantastic to work with as well. We got our pictures back quickly and absolutely love them!

Rob is the BEST. He was referred to me through someone I work with and I am so thankful to have been linked up with him. He is incredibly supportive and thorough throughout the entire planning process. When we cancelled our engagement shoot due to poor weather, Rob worked with us to figure out an alternative. He ended up shooting our rehearsal dinner and the photos were amazing. I am so thankful that he was flexible and worked with our vision of the wedding weekend. On the day of our wedding, Rob and his assistant James captured every shot I could've imagined wanting to see. We had a blast with them and they both made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I couldn't imagine working with any other photographer. I look forward to working with Rob for future family shoots! Thank you for everything. You are amazing.

We cannot say enough great things about working with Rob for our wedding day! From day one, Rob was very quick to respond to email/phone calls. Being an out of town couple, he was able to work with us over the phone for all of our needs. Leading up to the day, we filled out a detailed questionnaire that covered things one could easily forget. The day of our wedding, Rob walked in, knew everyones name and knew exactly how to get us started with getting ready photos. His calm demeanor really gave me confidence that he was going to get all the shots we needed without missing any. The weather didn't cooperate on our wedding day, but Rob had some ideas using the decor of our venue to help get some great group shots. After receiving our photos online, my husband and I could not be more impressed with his style and eye for detail. Again, highly recommend!

My husband and I were extremely pleased with Rob as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he put our minds at ease with how organized and detail oriented he was! Rob went above and beyond to capture our special day. He scouted out the best places around the area ahead of time and had great ideas that really kept the momentum going and maximized our time! Our whole wedding group made comments afterwards about how friendly and fun Rob was to work with! We just received the final pictures and are absolutely thrilled with how they all turned out! He captured so many combinations and unique backgrounds that truly make each picture so special! We would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day!!

Rob was a joy to work with from beginning to end and we'll treasure his suberb photographs of our wedding forever. Rob also did a wonderful job coordinating with our videographers. We can't say enough good things about Rob and his work. We're glad he was a part of our wedding.
