Rob Jinks Photography

lead up to our wedding, Rob continued to work with us to plan our weddings timeline, including our first look and time for photos before the ceremony. He also built lists of specific photos we wanted, such as groups/specific locations. On the day of Rob was pleasant and professional. He walked us through our planned photos and new ones effortlessly. His creativity and talent really showed as we walked through the venue taking outside the box photos. He also checked in with us throughout the evening to ensure he was getting everything we wanted. All in all, Rob was one of our favorite vendors to work with.

ught of it. He made everyone comfortable and really made sure to get those shots during the wedding with dancing and fun

, patient, and overall pleasant to be around. It's SO important to get along with the vendors you'll be around all day, and Rob made it easy. He took our engagement photos about a year and a half before our wedding and was so patient with our crazy dogs in DC. Between then and the wedding, he kept in close contact and his operational processes for timelines, requesting details, and auto emails were extremely communicative and straightforward. On the way of our wedding, Rob and his second shooter, Anthony, were a dream team. Weather was weird but they took the opportunity to take memorable photos of the wedding party running from hail. His approach of taking candid, un-posed photos was perfect for my husband and I's personality. We're still waiting for our photo reveal, but we know the final product is going to be beautiful. The first photo is what he sent us the night of our wedding (SO FAST!!) and the second I screenshotted from an Instagram reel he posted. We can't wait to see the other beautiful candid shots he took that day. Thank you, Rob and Anthony, for being part of making our wedding day perfect! I'd recommend him to any of my couples any day.

shots! I am absolutely thrilled at how Rob was able to capture our relationship with each other, our families, and our friends! To top it all off, Rob was such a pleasure to work with - he is professional, but also warm and friendly!

trigued us, and his warm, friendly, easy-going personality sealed the deal. My husband and I are a bit camera-shy, but Rob was so kind and earnest and worked very hard to support us through our engagement and wedding photos. The quality of his work is incredible - he captured so many unforgettable moments and we felt truly blessed to have him supporting us on our day.

d always with so much enthusiasm and positivity. He's so much more than just a photographer, his guidance was crucial in helping us get organized, hit certain deadlines, and remember other little details that would have otherwise been forgotten. All that praise and we haven't even gotten to the photos themselves yet, which are worth every single cent. We cannot recommend Rob enough as a photographer - truly the best of the best!

s great- he captured all the right moments and i loved the candid pictures he took as well as our portraits. Everyone loved his pictures when I shared them and his professionalism and how organized he is was so great. I will recommend him to any of my families who needs a great photographer!

o get to know who you are and what you're looking for. We had the pleasure of getting to work with Rob twice for our wedding(s), due to COVID, and pivoting to an elopement first and then the big day way later than planned. Through all the changes, Rob worked with us seamlessly, was really responsive and supportive. When he's taking photos he provides great direction and the results are STUNNING. His photos transport you back to the moments they were taken and are so meaningful.

look to use for the ceremony. We also did a hike with Rob at sunset and got some really beautiful shots. He was able to roll with the punches (pretty intense winds, high energy family members), came super prepared (even bringing us granola bars and flashlights for our hike), and is a consummate professional. He helped make our wedding feel really fun and memorable, and it goes without saying that he has an amazing eye for light, angles, and shot composition. We had a very small, lower-cost wedding, but we are so glad we invested in working with Rob to capture memories to last a lifetime!

and he was willing to work with us to make everything work out.

ry moment of the celebration without being a distraction. I’m extremely pleased by his work and would highly recommend his service.

ing to discuss what we were looking for in which he was open and enthusiastic. Booking far in advance, we changed the date because of the availability of our location, and then had uncertainty as a result of the cicadas. Rob was very flexible and open-minded about our needs. When we arrived on the day, Rob had arrived 20 minutes early, meaning we could get going earlier. He was very enthusiastic and innovative at finding unusual shots, as well as the more traditional pictures. An opportunity arose to use a third "area" within our location right near the end of the session, and despite having started earlier, he used the full official "booked" time allocated to get us more pictures, which we really appreciated. His website is clean and easy to use, and in the "reveal" session online he had produced a great slideshow as well as the picture selection. The pictures themselves really captured what we were looking for, and are timeless. Highly recommend.

nd hike up the mountain. His attention to detail and to our requests was superb. Thank you Rob for sharing your talent and capturing our wedding day!

his photos aren't just wedding photos - he has an amazing eye that takes the photos into the realm of art. Working with Rob was so easy! He was so responsive and flexible and did a great job getting to know us, so the photos he took really reflect our personality as a couple. During our photos he was efficient and focused but still fun - it was a great vibe. And then we got our photos... there are just no words. We would ABSOLUTELY pick Rob again!

t has been easy going throughout the whole process. We loved all the amazing images he captured of our special day from the emotions, small moments and friends just having a great time! We highly would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

us to keep us on track. All our guests loved the pictures they saw (Rob was able to show some off at the wedding), and the complete package was perfect.

EASURE to work with. He cares about your vision and making sure you are 110% satisfied. He has an amazing ability to capture the essence of the event, the people, the love. And while there are a million wonderful things I could say about Rob‘s talent as a photographer, his genuine character and the care he puts into his work are equally important and rare. I couldn’t be more pleased.

aptures their stories and interests through his work. Rob is the opposite of pretentious, is super knowledgeable about photography and always finds ways to take artistic shots. He also does a great job of incorporating technology into his clients’ user experience – his website is easy to navigate, and he likes to use video call check-ins which are easy to schedule. Rob had photographed my friends’ wedding, so I knew he was going to be great, but I was still blown away when I saw our photos. They are absolutely beautiful and captured very artistically. Rob paid attention to what we wanted and surprised us with his own ideas. If you’re deciding between photographers, book Rob! You won’t be disappointed.

s photos and his ability to capture the best moments of the night in such a natural way. Rob did not disappoint! He was so much fun to work with. He’s got such a cheerful personality, that helped make the whole experience so wonderful. My wife and I are avid hikers, and we wanted our engagement shoot to feature as much nature as possible. Rob helped us find the perfect location, and was willing to take us through some off the trail paths to capture some of our favorite photos from the shoot. He even recommended our wedding band, who kept all the guests dancing till the very end. The wedding photos are stunning. I’ve never had so many people compliment a choice of photographer as I did for our wedding. Rob was able to surprise us and the guests with a slide show of some early access photos from the day. It was such a unique experience, that everyone enjoyed. My uncle was even joking that people were so captivated looking at the photos they didn’t even need to talk to us. Rob, thank you so much for all the hard work and fun we had along the way. Sad that it’s over, but I look forward to reliving the day for years to come with the incredible pictures you captured for us.

was one of the first vendors we booked. I looked at dozens of photographers, and Rob really stood out. I chose Rob as our photographer based off of the emotion / vibe he was able to capture in photos, and you did an absolutely amazing job at doing exactly that. When looking through our photos, it takes me right back to the moment. There is nothing more you can ask for! Rob was also very easy to work with, organized, and flexible. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

esponsive, punctual and so easy to work with. Both experiences were absolutely wonderful and the picture blew us away! To top off our wonderful experience with him, he even had a surprise for all of the guests at the reception as well as a gift for us at the end of the night. Our wedding was over a month ago, and we are still getting compliments from our guest on how wonderful they were!

talented and creative. The day of the photo shoot he made us feel at ease and made the whole experience stress free. Rob went above and beyond to capture our personalities and amazing backgrounds on every photo. We are very pleased of how quickly we received our photos. Our photos are beautiful and unique. We highly recommend Rob.

am took some truly stunning photos and we feel very blessed that he was able to help us document our memories. We'd definitely recommend Rob to a friend!

g on them. He was so easy to work with and was flexible on payment options. Our friends and family are going crazy over the photos. Wedding photos are forever, we are SO glad we picked Rob! We loved taking our couples photos, it gave us a few moments alone to relax together while Rob took awesome shots. We are so excited to see how our Wedding Album will turn out!

dorable smiles without any cheese :). We loved working with him too. He has an easy, friendly outgoing manner and is super flexible without being shy about offering his professional opinion to get the best shot. We asked to add a second photographer for our wedding about a month out...Rob found Miles, who was just as helpful and easy to work with! Looking at the content of the photos, Rob also has a quick intuitive understanding of who to focus on and who was important to capture among our guests. He relishes finding all the beautiful little details too. Of course, the images themselves are fantastic. A couple of his photos are marquee images for Skyland Lodge and Shenandoah National Park. Rob's portfolio I think speaks for itself even better than I can. You know what they say about pictures and words... Check it out for sure! You'll want to hire Rob right away!

ensuring that we had everything that we needed and more. I would recommend him 200%. He was my right hand on the day of the wedding, kept me calm, on time and took unbelievable photos without making you feel like he was there. He captured the true essence of the day and his pictures are a true art work. My guest were so blown away and we are still receiving complements on our pictures. AND let's not forge the album - it's perfect! You can't go wrong with Rob!!! <3

beautiful. He took his time to naturally capture the moments that were most important to us and our personalities. Beyond the amazing pictures, Rob was professional and organized in the planning process and very comfortable to work with. After the wedding, my mom commented that it was like having a cousin taking photos- he blended in seamlessly with the group and made everyone feel at ease. Rob took all of the stress of coordinating this part of our day off of our shoulders- he was always a step ahead in working with any obstacles (like a thunderstorm and tornado warning!). We cannot recommend Rob highly enough!

e re-living our day! It is evident how much heart Rob puts into his work. We're lucky to have found him, and if you have too, don't hesitate to book him!

my picture taken, but I felt at ease as he captured the interactions with my family in a very natural manner rather than forced and posed shots. It wouldn't be overstatement to say that the pictures Rob took of my family are the best photos we have of the three of us, and the way he captured the happiness and energy of my son and the loveliness of my wife was peerless. I greatly appreciate his work and his incredible competence and recommend him highly for any photography needs you might have.

s. Before our shoot, Rob took the time to learn more about us as a couple and the vision we had for our engagement shoot. He takes the time to ask the right questions and really understand what your specific vision is for your shoot even when you don't have a clear idea of how you would like it to go. We wanted to do an outdoor shoot in Shenandoah and with Rob's experience shooting they're he was able to provide us with a few different places we could shoot! I'm so glad we took his advice because it was spot on! We did a 20-minute hike up Little Stony Man and arrived at a backdrop from heaven! The timing and weather were perfect because Rob knew the right tools to pull this off. Our vision was to have epic photos with a scenic backdrop and let me tell you... the photos were EPIC! During the shoot, Rob was so flexible and creative in his shots. We even did a small nighttime sesh after the sun was set and somehow he caught a shooting star in our nighttime photo! If you don't believe me, look below. I could write a whole page and more of why Rob is amazing, but I think this will give you enough information to make the right choice. He is genuine, authentic, adaptive, creativity and ACTUALLY CARES! We highly recommend him! Romin & Johanna

ch place he photographed. For our engagement session, he was supposed to give us an hour and I am pretty sure it took 3+ hours - which he did not complain about at all and even offered an additional location! He is so passionate about what he does and is willing to wait for the perfect lighting to take the best photo. He was great at keeping in touch leading up to our wedding day and was so wonderful the day of. Rob did a great job of making sure all of our photos happened in the best lighting/scenery and most importantly in a timely fashion. He got such amazing pictures of my husband and I, the family, the wedding party, and everyone who attended the wedding. There were 2 photographers present, but it felt like there were 10 - not because of their huge presence (actually they did a great job of blending in), but because of how much they accomplished in such a short time frame. They not only took pictures of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, but they printed out individual pictures of me and each of my bridesmaids and gave it to them as gifts, printed out some favorite photos and made a small photo book for me, AND he got a slideshow up of pictures that was running by the bar area at the reception. I honestly don't know how he and his assistant got it all done, but it was unbelievable. I had so many comments about how wonderful the photographers were and now that the pictures are out the compliments keep pouring in. I would recommend Rob to anyone who wants someone who is not only incredibly talented with a great eye, but a wonderful person who truly cares about your day.

tures in Shenandoah National Park. We wanted to do sunset pictures but also explore a little in the park. Rob found us a waterfall and we were able to do some hiking, see the falls, and get our sunset pictures! Afterwards he even treated us to some pizza!He was able to get our pictures to us quickly even during the "busy season". Rob pours his heart and soul into his work and it really shows when you see the pictures. He has a gift of being able to capture and immortalize all the love and happiness in one of the most important times in your lives. We highly recommend Rob to everyone for all of your engagement and wedding pictures needs! Rob - Thanks for all your hard work and for these amazing pictures! They truly are breathtaking!

hed for weeks in hopes of finding a photographer that understood our vision. When we came across Rob's website, we felt the energy in his photos and saw that he captures the most incredible moments with his lens. You can also tell how much he loves his job the moment you speak with him. His upbeat personality, attention to detail and thoughtful questions immediately put us at ease. Our guests loved Rob! A few friends and family members commented on how engaged he was and that he gave clear instructions when trying to capture specific photos. Weddings go by quickly so you need a photographer who can direct large groups all while making them laugh. It's a talent and Rob is a pro! We loved having him there for our day and know that anyone who chooses Rob will have the most amazing wedding photos that truly tell their wedding story.

on board with little notice. This being our first time doing something like this we were quite nervous. Rob quickly dispelled those feelings. Shortly after meeting him we felt comfortable in the moment. He provided excellent guidance throughout the experience. We really enjoyed the creativity of his photos, and he welcomed our suggestions for certain shots. Afterwards Rob did a fantastic job of setting expectations on timelines. He was able to get us our photos much sooner than expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Rob and would gladly work with him again in the future.

tured many beautiful spontaneous moments of Greg and Alyson, not only for the wedding day but the engagement photos as well. The engagement photo session was held at Manassas Battlefield. One of the memorable shots was towards the end of the day with Greg and Alyson standing on a hill and a cloud was behind them making it look like the two of them were rising up into the cloud. It really put into words how that looked. You have to check out his website and see for yourself!

! A friend of mine attended a wedding which Rob photographed, so she showed me his blog post from that wedding and I was very impressed. Rob was very easy to work with - responsive, friendly, proactive, and organized. He helped me plan out my wedding day itinerary to maximize the best photo opportunities, while still getting to enjoy the reception as much as possible. Our wedding party and relatives all commented how fun and personable Rob was. Just a few days after the wedding, Rob posted a blog post with a preview of our photos. Then, only a couple weeks later, he had finished the entire gallery of our pictures! The turnover time was amazing, and even better than that, the pictures were absolutely breathtaking. My friends and I were in tears reliving the day and seeing just how beautifully Rob captured the entire day. Rob truly does tell a story with his photos - you could feel the emotions and the love just by clicking through the gallery. I feel so lucky to have had Rob capture our wedding in pictures and I would absolutely recommend him.

style and our photos came out beautifully! He listened to all details and suggestions, and made the entire process/experience feel extremely comfortable and natural. our timeline on the day of the wedding got pushed back a bit and Rob was so flexible! We loved his friendly nature and his work is amazing. So glad we chose hime to capture the moments we will cherish forever! Thanks Rob!

ible throughout our engagement shoot - he is pretty hands-off and appreciates the candid moments, so I had to ask him to make sure we weren't making any crazy faces. Bonus, Rob is super nice and great to work with. Our engagement shoot was like hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking our pictures. We haven't seen all of the wedding photos yet, but the preview ones are amazing. He did such a great job capturing the beautiful moments that I honestly don't even remember because the wedding day was such a blur - it is so nice to be able to look back at the pictures! Thank you, Rob :)

grapher. He is very professional and friendly. Rob has an amazing eye for finding the beauty and uniqueness in every moment and capturing it. Our engagement pictures were taken at the Shenandoah National Park and the pictures were breathtaking. Rob's pictures are so real, natural, and candid. Looking back through our wedding pictures, I was amazed at how stealthy Rob and his assistant were, I didn't even notice their presence for some of the pictures yet they were able to capture everything! Rob is very reasonably priced and he really is one of the best wedding decisions we made. There really aren't enough words to describe how happy we are with his services.

to earth, and easy to work with, and he works quickly. Highly recommended!!

professional. Our engagement shoot was in Washington, DC and after meeting him and seeing the photos from that shoot, we immediately felt relaxed because we knew our wedding would be in good hands. He took the time to get to know us and the type of photos we were most interested in. His work is absolutely stunning and our photos turned out far beyond our expectations. We got married in Shenandoah, and Rob was very excited to try an idea with us, to hike to the top of Stony Man for a photoshoot in our wedding dress and suit. We are so happy we went for it because, the photos turned out incredible! They looked like they were straight out of a romance movie ;) In addition, he caught lots of wonderful candid moments that covered everything from our special day and tell an amazing story of our wedding. We never expected to have such memorable and beautiful wedding photos. We will always recommend Rob to our friends and family and we know if you choose Rob, it'll be one of your best wedding decisions.

age on WeddingWire and really liked his photography style. My now-husband, who's into photography as a hobby and understands quality better than I do, also LOVED his work. I contacted him to get an idea of what his price range would be and he gave a very reasonable quote. But more importantly, what stood out to me was that he seemed willing to go above and beyond. The reason that was important to me was because we had an Indian wedding with multiple days of events - which would have been his first Indian wedding. Initially I was skeptical about whether he'd be able to capture the events well without having any background in Indian weddings, since the ceremony (and everything else) is very different! However, he made me feel comfortable because it was so obvious that he was excited about the idea of taking on a new challenge and was willing to go above and beyond to do a good job, meaning: research on Indian weddings, meeting and discussing with me often to go over things specific to our wedding, site visit to the locations of the events to walk through the plan for the day, etc. On the day of, I got so many compliments from all our guests about how great Rob was. He was all over the place, going above and beyond to capture pictures from so many different angles and viewpoints and backgrounds. And he managed to capture the day perfectly without getting being disruptive (that's a big deal for Indian weddings, where guests are used to never being able to see anything because the photographers take over). Needless to say, the pictures are phenomenal, and it's because he captured the day so perfectly! Going through the pics made me feel like I was reliving the day all over again, which was exactly what I wanted out of my wedding pictures. If you're looking for a photographer, go with Rob!

h, flexible but has his own ideas so you don´t need to worry about it. Just trust him and he´ll take the most awesome photos. Would choose him again and highly recommend him.

engagement shoot and wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Rob is an AMAZING photographer, and absolutely wonderful to work with!! For our engagement pictures, Rob met us at Shenandoah National Park at 7am to catch the sunrise. It was a chilly October morning, and my fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of cameras, but Rob talked to us as if we’d known each other for years, and completely put us at ease. The pictures were gorgeous, and we got them back so quickly that we used them for our Save-the-Date. Rob had Adam as his assistant photographer for our wedding day, and the two of them were a wonderful team! Rob was with me and my bridesmaids as we got ready, and was so unobtrusive that we forgot he was there. Adam was with the groom and groomsmen, and thanks to his pictures I can tell they had a blast. The rest of the photos turned out beautifully, especially for our outdoor ceremony! Each time we look at our pictures, we are struck by how wonderfully he captured special moments throughout the day. The candid shots are absolutely priceless! Rob posted a picture on Facebook the morning after our wedding, posted a special one of me and my mom for Mother’s Day (this really made her day special), and he placed a 'sneak peek' on his blog three weeks after the wedding. We are very pleased with the shots and have received so many compliments from friends and family. Rob is confident, direct, creative, and can get a large group together and looking their best within seconds! He took an unbelievable amount of photos, edited them all for an unbeatable price, and turned them around very quickly! I highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a true professional that will make you look your best in photographs that will last for generations.
