Rob Tesar Photography

our special moments, but to spend the day with us! He and Kristen are truly a dream team! We were fortunate enough to have an engagement shoot with Rob a year prior to the wedding and he was so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We told him what we were looking for in our photos and he not only recommended a place, but his calming presence is key if you are even remotely nervous in front of a camera. He has a true artistic eye, he is efficient with time while also being extremely attentive to detail. The day of the wedding Rob would capture a shot and then turn the camera around to show us his work for a split second - it was moments like these that showed how passionate he was about his work, how excited he was to share it with us, and how much he truly cared that we liked the result. If you are looking to hire a separate videographer for your wedding day - Rob + Kristen work extremely well with (yet another husband wife duo) Brandon and Jana, at A Thousand Crane Productions!

truly blown away by the attention to detail and quality of the photos! Rob and his team were very friendly, put us at ease, and were professional throughout the multiple events we had during our wedding weekend. Even our other vendors complimented how Rob took command and made things go smoothly. He took some incredible shots that truly captured the love and joy that was expressed during the weekend events. He offered kind words of encouragement when we were feeling stressed. During the ceremonies he took a great mix of portrait and group shots, along with some creative pictures of the decorations and items used in the ceremony. For the baraat, Rob and crew were in the middle of the crowd of people dancing the whole time. This allowed them to take so many fun shots of all our friends and family dancing with the groom before the wedding. Our wedding day ended up being rainy, but Rob was able to use his experience and creativity to overcome these obstacles, and we ended up taking pictures on the golf course with his beautiful, clear umbrellas. Much to our surprise, these umbrella photos ended up being some of our favorites from the weekend! During the reception, Rob guided us to the locations he picked out for our family photos, and coordinated with the DJ to rapidly bring each table to the dance floor to take a picture with us. We asked Rob for ideas of our exit, and were able to have him capture our family and friends showering us with dried lavender! We will cherish these photos forever and are able to relive each moment from the weekend. We can't thank Rob and his team enough for all of their dedication throughout the weekend, and being flexible with timelines and weather issues and handling it with confidence. We were delighted that Rob shared photos earlier than anticipated. If you need an amazing, creative, and highly knowledgeable photographer for your upcoming event, do yourself a favor and hire Rob!!

y notions of awkwardness. We chose to have Engagement photos taken before the wedding, and our photo session felt as though we were simply walking around the park with our friend. The posing felt natural and the photos were stunning. We enjoyed getting to repeat the process for our wedding day. Rob and his partner were a joy to be around and when they would set up a staged shot, it still felt very natural. My favorite photos, though, were the ones of all the guests! It was so lovely to see everyone having a good time. They did a great job of capturing candid interactions (especially dancing). You only get to bring a few things home from your wedding, and I’d argue that photos are the most important. With Rob, you always get good photos

favourite vendor to work with. Super professional, easy to talk to, and so fun to work with! 10/10 would recommend.

got our previews the day after the wedding and the full gallery five weeks after. There were hundreds of photos and there isn't a single bad one in the bunch- they are all so beautiful and capture the joy from the day. He helped pose all of us which was a god send since we and our party are not the most comfortable in front of the camera. He captured every angle we could want, I swear he must teleport with how many photos he got of every moment. His work is just absolutely stunning- we would pay double what we did and I would hire him again tomorrow. Thank you so much Rob, for capturing how much happiness there was on our wonderful day and making everyone look so beautiful, these are truly photos to last a lifetime.

ture precious moments, capture expressions, and memories I forgot or wanted to relive all over again. As a bride you can’t be in all places at all times, and Rob magically was, I don’t think he missed anything, and you never knew he was there. I received a preview shortly after the wedding of some highlights, and then the “gallery” of photos a few weeks later. The sight makes it easy to share, download, or order directly. My friends and family are “obsessed” with the photos, as am I! I am so happy I went with Rob Tesar Photography.

nd easy to talk to. They made our special day all the better for being there. Book them and I promise you won't be disappointed!

ing a wedding photographer was the one item that caused me the most angst. The best advice I got was to choose someone who a) you like their photos and b) you get along with because you end up spending A LOT of time together on the wedding day. We loved the albums we got to preview and had a zoom call with Rob and Kristen to get to know them/ask them any questions before hiring them. They were so down to earth and I think we all ended up chatting for way longer than we planned! We were able to do an engagement shoot session - which again I had a lot of angst about - what do we do for two hours?? - but Rob and Kristen made it so easy and comfortable. They were able to scout out the perfect backgrounds for some really freaking cool photos and had the perfect balance of artsy photos and more standard portrait type. Fast forward to the wedding day and they were equally wonderful! We were focused on getting all of our photos done before the ceremony so that we could enjoy as much time as possible with friends/family at the reception. Rob + Kristen were super accommodating and made sure we were able to get all the pictures we wanted, but stayed on schedule so no one was late for the ceremony! They were extremely organized and had a shot list ready to go for all of our family photos, bridal party, etc., that we wanted to get. They were able to get amazing shots throughout the day but we never felt like they were there/in our way. For both our engagement shoot and the wedding day we wanted to make sure we got some photos with our dogs. Rob + Kristen were great with the pups and had some pretty great tricks up their sleeves to get them to pose right for the camera. We could not recommend these guys more!

m the ground up through wildflowers to name a few!) in addition to more traditional photos that are also stunning. We cannot wait to see all of our wedding photos. One of the truly wonderful things about Rob + Kristen is how they made our wedding process and day so special! Even before our wedding they guided us through timing of our wedding day to make sure we captured the best lighting and provided numerous vendor suggestions to us at our request. On the day of our wedding, Rob + Kristen guided us through pictures and made our wedding party laugh while doing so. They went above and beyond by helping restyle flowers on our welcome sign, helping a family member with mobility challenges throughout the night, helping to calm our nerves before our first look, carrying tissues in case we needed them and even helping with the bustle of my bridal gown! We received several comments throughout the day and night from our wedding party and guests who commented about how great both Rob + Kristen are, which was so wonderful for us to hear. Rob + Kristen absolutely went above and beyond for us throughout our entire wedding process, and we are so grateful to them for their attention to detail, patience, and thoughtfulness. We had such an amazing experience with Rob + Kristen and cannot recommend them highly enough!!

vel. They worked with us so patiently as we navigated postponing our wedding two times due to COVID and were beyond understanding as we dealt with all of the uncertainties of our wedding planning. Our engagement photos were so fun to do and they had such an eye for taking photos in spots we would never think of that turned out to be our favorite ones. They were very great to work with our dog and we absolutely loved our family pictures with him. When we postponed our wedding, we did a mini photo shoot at home with them which was so casual and yet they are still some of my favorite photos that we have. As we got closer to our final wedding date, they were so responsive at working with me to make sure we had our timeline firmed up and that our photo list was ready to go. They were on time the day of the wedding and found an amazing spot for our first look that made it very special. Throughout the night of the wedding, they did a great job at taking photos without us noticing but always being available when we were ready to take posed photos. The weather was extremely windy that day and they were able to make the photos look flawless despite that. When they left for the evening, I was genuinely sad to say goodbye because of how much I enjoyed working with them. Their photos are a combination of elegant, fun, vibrant, classic, and uniquet. I know I will look back on all of our photos with them for the rest of my life and cannot wait to make a photo album with them all. I truly cannot emphasize how amazing Rob + Kristen are to work with and how happy we are with our photos and experience working with them. If they are available the date of your wedding or event, book them ASAP and stop inquiring with other vendors. You will be so happy to work with them - I promise! Thank you so much Rob and Kristen for making our day absolutely perfect!!

and we truly love them- not to mention their work is PHENOMENAL! They were able to truly capture our essence as a couple and beautifully display our love for each other, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with both our wedding and engagement photos! My husband and I are both super shy but Rob and Kristen were able to make us feel comfortable and excited throughout our time with them and that’s something so important on wedding day. You will not regret booking them, 10/10 recommend these amazingly talented people!!

re blessed to have them on our big day. Rob has such an eye for a great shot and will work tirelessly to make sure he provides you with the best of the best. Kristen is a girls best friend. When we did posed photos, she was always there to make sure my hair was right, we were standing correctly, holding flowers when I was not using them - she even held my lipstick in her bag for me and reapplied when needed! They got our pictures back to us so quick and we could not be happier!

t say enough good things about them as people and as photographers! Great communication, flexible, accommodating, give good direction & so sweet!! We feel so lucky to have come across them & so thankful that they were a part of our big day! We CANNOT WAIT to have them shoot our Wedding Part 2 next year! We know the pics will be amazing...again!

sive posing), vs. capturing candid, special moments. My photos are gorgeous and vivid, which is exactly what I wanted! They look amazing printed in my living room! It is so special and fun to be able to relive this day through their talents. Thank you Rob+Kristen! We loved having you as a part of our favorite day!!

and on the day of the wedding. Planning the timeline of the day was incredibly easy with Rob and Kristen's suggestions. On the day of our wedding, they went above and beyond to not only get wonderful pictures that captured the day perfectly, but to also think of the little things, like helping the guys with their boutonnieres, carrying bouquets on the way to the ceremony, and bringing water for the bride and groom after taking pictures. After our wedding, we (and our guests) continued to comment on how fantastic Rob and Kristen are and how we were incredibly grateful that they were part of our special day!

artistic photos really came through in our wedding album and I LOVE the entire thing. They were so accommodating to include our dog in the engagement and wedding photos, which was super important to us since she's part of the family! The day of the wedding ran so smoothly, and we got all of the shots we wanted- including really great pictures of everyone on the dance floor after the ceremony and dinner. They were able to show through their photography how joyous and fun the day was for everyone, and for that I can't thank them enough! We couldn't have asked for a better duo to hang out with and capture our love during the best day of our lives.

throughout the day. They bring us back to the day and give us moments to remember with everyone, with unique photos instead of just stages ones. Rob & Kristen have an amazing eye for light and just generally beautiful photography. But on top of the gorgeous photos, they are a JOY to work with. From our first phone call, they were so easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable - something that makes it much easier for camera-shy people like me! It was immediately clear how much they care about the couples they work with. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond, talking to family members to relieve stress, even entertaining flower girls to give me a moment alone before the ceremony! We cannot recommend them enough!

ntive and several guests commented that they were so impressed with their dedication to photograph every moment. That was especially evident when we received our photos and they took our breath away! I would recommend them wholeheartedly and to every single bride & groom! Thanks R+K <3

hey made us feel so comfortable during our pre-wedding shoot, especially since we are camera shy. They even provided guidance on what to wear to that shoot. The photos were delivered even quicker than expected. On our wedding day, we had a morning ceremony so it was a long day of shooting but they remained energetic and creative. They went above and beyond getting shots with us interacting with the guests at every table. They gave us sneak peeks of the photos and even provided additional images early since I wanted them for thank you cards. In summary, Rob and Kristen made us feel comfortable and captured the essence of our relationship. I highly recommend them!

t we live in CA, so we had to plan our wedding from a distance. Even though we were far away, Rob and Kristen took the time to get to know us as a couple via Skype and email. From our first Skype session with them, it was very clear that they were exceptionally talented photographers, but also lovely people. I felt that Rob and Kristen truly cared about our story as a couple. Once we booked with them and the planning process began, Rob and Kristen made it so easy by providing a sample timeline and list of people/combinations of people for photos. I absolutely loved that I knew I could trust them to work their magic and capture amazing photos - it was one less thing to be anxious about on our wedding day! Rob and Kristen walked us through all of the pre-wedding photos, from the first look to the ones with the wedding party and family. They were great at keeping things moving while also keeping the atmosphere relaxed, even though people were switching in and out of photos. It started to rain after our first-look photos and before we had access to the church, so they came up with a great solution to take some photos with the wedding party in the church hall. Though the hall was not the most aesthetically pleasing space, Rob and Kristen created some beautiful and creative images. One of our favorite photos of the entire day was taken in the hall! They figured out how to create beautiful lighting effects and make it happen. In addition to capturing beautiful photos, Rob and Kristen went above and beyond to help us with other wedding-related issues. I was feeling fairly calm all day until right before I was supposed to walk out of the dressing room area to walk down the aisle. I think it was a combination of nerves, the tightly laced corset back of my dress, and the hot temperature in the room, but I felt like I could barely breathe. Kristen helped me with some deep breathing techniques and told me to focus on my future husband's face as I was walking down the aisle in order to calm the nervousness of all eyes being on me. That is definitely not in the photographer job description - I thought it was so kind of her! Rob and Kristen helped us out in another big way immediately following the ceremony. After we walked back up the aisle together, they told us we should duck into the dressing room quickly before people saw us and started talking to us. They said if people saw us, they would continue to hang around the church instead of going to our reception venue. That was something my husband and I never would have thought of, but I know they were right. They saved us from getting caught up by guests when we were supposed to be sharing a special moment with each other and our families. I could write a book about what an awesome experience it was to work with Rob and Kristen - if you want gorgeous photos that are unique to the couple and a great value, photographers who are creative and passionate, and people who are so kind and lovely to spend time with, please reach out to Rob + Kristen Photography!

them, DO IT! You will be delighted.

es; it was such a relief to find these wonderful people who simply offered to photograph our wedding. They made us so comfortable, worked quickly, and delivered the most beautiful and unique photos I’ve ever seen. We cannot wait to work with them again.Thank you Rob and Kristen! We love you guys!!

ted photos with mountain views, but our wedding was in the middle of February. Rob and Kristen were excited and even eager to take a little hike up in the freezing wind to capture the most breathtaking photos. Their dedication and love for their work truly shows, everything they do is high quality and well worth it. Choosing them as your photographer is the best choice you could make! We have beautiful memories captured in these photos to love and appreciate for the rest of our lives.

oals for our Wedding, and we had NO DOUBT that we could sit back, relax, and let them capture the magic of the evening on the night of our Wedding. The feedback I have received from family and friends that were with us on this truly special and magical day, is that Rob + Kristen were “nowhere but everywhere”, meaning they were able to capture truly special moments in time, however they were not invasive or demanding with either the posed or candid shots. Rather, they TRULY captured the feelings of love and happiness in their most natural state. We are SO thankful Rob + Kristen were a part of our special day!!!

the time to get to know you (your interests, hobbies, personalities) and incorporate that knowledge into their photography. This makes for beautiful photos that are not only easy on the eyes but also so meaningful and personal. They also have an artsy edge and in addition to capturing the tradition bride/groom/family photos, they throw in some unique and fun images that (for us personally) turn out to be some of the favorites! In addition to being incredible artists, they are kind, genuine, down to earth people. You almost feel as though you're working with good friends, and forget that they are professionals hired to photograph you. They have an ease and natural way that makes your nerves disappear, and therefore allows you to feel comfortable with a lens in your face (not always the most natural thing!) I cannot recommend these two enough! Both our engagement photos and wedding photos are out of this world, and we will cherish them forever. Don't hesitate to hire Rob and Kristen! You won't regret it.

their investment (aka cost). Finding a wedding vendor who would actually tell you what you would pay for exactly what service provided up front without a meeting is a rare find we learned. Rob + Kristen are up front and professional the second we met them we knew we would be lucky if we could work with them. Combing their extensive positive reviews and prolific blog posts, you will feel just like we did! Gotta book them! We had our initial meeting with them 11 months prior to our wedding. We discussed a lot of expectations and special requests that day and Rob + Kristen remembered ALL of it. The galleries they showed us were of couples of all sizes and weddings of all budgets with space constraints and lighting challenges of all kinds. If you are not a "photo geek" you would never be able to tell! In each of them they capture the most authentic little moments and allow the radiance of each couple's love and style to shine through. Our gallery of 1,200 incredible photos is no exception. They balance the couples shots, details shots, and family shots beautifully. Your gallery has so many photos you truly can't believe they were everywhere at once. We love how many sweet moments between our guests they immortalized for us to cherish forever! During the ceremony we never saw them and some guests commented "your photographers never got in the way, we forgot they were there" yet every single moment of our ceremony was documented in the most beautiful way. R+K were also extremely and respectful of our sensitive family dynamics and turned what could have been tense and stressful family portraits fun for everyone involved. We are forever thankful that Rob + Kristen were with us on the most special day of our lives to date and we cannot recommend them enough!

ing day and helped me feel relaxed. My husband does not like taking pictures, but they made him feel relaxed and comfortable. AND our pictures turned out great. My husband was commenting last night on how great they looked. I highly recommend them!

m so glad we did it because it gave us a chance to get to know Rob and Kristen and to get comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding was during Hurricane Florence and they never gave us any indication that there would be any problems on their end - in fact they reassured us that they had dealt with hurricane weddings previously! They were so relaxed on the day that it helped us to relax and have a good time despite other weather-related snafus! We just got our pictures back from our wedding (5 week turnaround! Quicker than I expected!) and love them. I don't know how else to end this review except to say that if you're considering Rob + Kristen, stop right now and just hire them.

essed with the level of service provided. Rob and Kristen were always prompt to respond to emails and they went the extra mile to deliver exactly what we wanted. They worked with us to come up with a package that met our needs and budget and captured every moment without being too intrusive. When direction was needed they told you exactly what to do so you weren't left wondering. We received our photos quickly (just a little over 3 weeks for 1200 photos). And most importantly, they really seemed to care about us as a couple. Kristen in particular was wonderful! Two examples that really stand out to me are when she ran to her car to get some hydrocortisone cream and helped me rub it on my mosquito bites and that she offered to hold my bouquet between photos (it really was heavy!!). All in all I can't recommend Rob and Kristen Photography enough.

but also fun to be around. Rob and Kristen are two of the most genuinely kind and thoughtful people I can think of. They really helped my husband and I stay in the moment at our wedding, not to mention they are fantastically talented photographers! I still can't believe that they managed to get so many great pictures of our day (literally all of them are print-worthy). They captured every moment, including ones I didn't even notice on the day. I would recommend them to any couple!

- AMAZING!!

the craziness of our day. They captured exactly what we were looking for and we received our photos and video extremely quickly. Both the photos and video brought us to tears because of how perfect they turned out. My family and friends gave us compliments for weeks about how amazing the photos were. Do yourself a favor and hire someone who knows what they are doing because the memories are priceless. You will never regret hiring them and will feel so comfortable on your big day!

ach incredible artists with an amazing eye. We are astounded by how both sets of photos turned out and show them off at every opportunity we get. They aren't your standard wedding photos- they're 10x better and super unique. Rob & Kristen are SO much fun and truly capture the essence of your big day. Look no further!!!

lso made me feel good while getting photographed! They were calm and cheerful, gave great directions, and were a pleasure to be around. As a team, they strike the perfect balance of totally organized and pleasantly flexible. I couldn't imagine a better experience -- plus my family and friends were thrilled with our wedding photos, too. If you can book them, DO IT! You'll be so glad you did -- I certainly am :)

some and the entire process was so smooth with them.

our wedding, they were absolutely amazing and thorough. I would call myself a little uptight and tough on myself when it comes to pictures, but I felt completely at ease with them and their creative vision. They provided us with such amazing photos that I almost cried when I saw them because they were better than anything I could have imagined! They are very good with communication and very accommodating to what our vision was for our wedding. During our ceremony, they were so subtle and made sure to not interrupt any of the service while still getting amazing shots. The best part of working with Rob and Kristen, apart from the amazing work they do, is how genuinely nice they both are and how easy they are to work with. I cannot recommend them enough for wedding and engagement photos. It was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding!

e the most incredible people and photographers I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. They were incredibly professional and kind throughout the whole process from our very first meeting to sending us our wedding photos. Not only do they take the time to get to know you and your relationship, they also make sure to reflect that in the photos they take. I received so many compliments on how incredible they were on our wedding day. All of our family were amazed at how quickly they were able to get through our very long list of family shots as well how beautiful all the shots turned out. Trust me on this, they truly are the real deal! Kristen and Rob were also life savers throughout our big day, Kristen even bustled my gown and Rob was a huge help in helping my husband stay calm prior to the ceremony. We absolutely LOVED working with them and I know you will too. If you want someone who knows what their doing , creates beautiful photos and short videos and will pour their heart into their work then these are the people you need to hire! THEY ARE WORTH EVERY DIME AND I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE THEM! Every step of the way they made sure to explain what would be happening, created a very detailed and efficient time line and family shot list and made sure that my husband and I had time together just to enjoy our special day. These are good people that I'm very proud to now call friends, you won't regret booking them! :)

photograph my wedding. I think I knew they were the ones before I knew my husband was the one. (Just kidding..... maybe.) So when we finally did get engaged, I knew I had to contact them right away. When we first met with them, we immediately had a connection. It was love at first sight/meet. They are both such fun people to be around, which made the whole process of getting to know who we really are as a couple so much easier. We could open up to them and share our story. It was definitely the most enjoyable experience of the whole entire wedding planning and actual wedding. My fiancé and I were so worried about the engagement photos because we are such dorks and can't take pictures to save our lives. But with Rob's brilliant direction and Kristen's entertaining conversation, we felt right at home and so comfortable. We were so sad the session had to end! Once we got the AMAZING pictures back (and saw how awesome they made us doofus creatures look), we were that much more ready for our wedding day with them as a part of it! Sure enough, our wedding day was absolutely incredible thanks to the timeline that Kristen created for us and their gentle nature all day long. I had such faith in them and felt so at ease all day. To say they were the best part of our wedding day (besides actually marrying my husband) would be the biggest understatement. We had such a blast with them all day. We got the most amazing, incredible, awe-worthy photographs (and short film, OMG did I mention the film??! Holy crap. Tears.) out of the whole experience with them. But more importantly, we gained two of the most amazingly talented friends. Have I said AMAZING too many times?? I'm not sorry. Seriously, anyone, anywhere, hire Rob and Kristen. You will not be disappointed! I cannot wait to book so many more random sessions with them just so we can have more of their talent on our walls. Also so we can hang out with them more (as if we need an excuse.) Rob and Kristen, we love you.

t they are also some of the sweetest most genuine people you will ever meet. Their communication is amazing, always prompt to get back to you and are great about reaching out to you with everything you need to know beforehand. They also exceeded our expectations on turn around time. Looking through our pictures was like reliving the wedding day. They captured it perfectly!! We loved working with them and seriously recommend Rob + Kristen to everyone we know!

tyle and feel of the photos. Rob and Kristen were so helpful and fun to work with throughout the whole planning process, and we genuinely enjoyed having them hang around with us throughout our big day. Not only do they take amazing pictures, they are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuine people. They are also incredibly efficient and organized at getting pictures taken. They kept us on schedule the entire day, and made everything go by smoothly! My parents even commented how much they enjoyed working with Rob and Kristen throughout the day and how helpful they both were. We are so thrilled that we got to work with them for both our engagement pictures and wedding photos and wish them the best of luck!

(thank you, Kristen, for fluffing my dress in the 90 degree weather so I didn’t melt!). They love what they do and it shows. We are so happy with our photos and cannot wait to book with them again for future shoots! Thank you guys so much for capturing the best day of our lives! You are the best!

had Tara (my wife) and I's best interest in mind throughout the entire process -- From the first time we met them when they were trying to get to know more about us all the way to our wedding night where they came with us to where we first met for one last shoot. They let us take control over what we wanted to do, only providing direction or poses to further enhance the photo. Whether it was standing 10 feet further up a path closer to seemingly discreet flowering shrub or putting us in what felt like an unnatural (yet an ultimately genuine) pose, R + K truly knew how to make us look good. I can't imagine the entire process going more smoothly. Tara and I were very lucky to find Rob + Kristen. We hope the you do the same!

bit “design-ey”. Rob + Kristen are both wonderful people with amazing eyes for photography and can create some incredible photos out of seemingly odd locations. As soon as we met with them (over beer of course!) and saw their work, we knew they were going to an amazing job at our wedding, and they most definitely lived up to the expectation. They get to know your personalities and do a wonderful job of catering your photos to you! All of our guests (many of them also being architects) have complimented the photographs many times over. On the day of, they were both so accommodating while taking portraits, making sure to keep us cool inside on a very warm day as much as possible. Additionally, as someone who does not fully enjoy the oodles of family photos that come along with a wedding, it was absolutely amazing how efficient and quick Rob + Kristen were able to move through them even while having a few curveballs thrown at them. During the reception, they did a wonderful job of floating in the background and capturing some amazing shots. Best of all, Rob + Kristen were so fun to work with, constantly making us laugh (those smiles are genuine in our photos!), and were so, so helpful at any time! We will cherish these photographs for years to come. Rob + Kristen, you are both amazing and we’re so happy to have met you!
