About This Company
Robert Evans’ utter lack of ego belies his remarkable resume. It’s true: Robert was one of two photographers chosen from over a hundred candidates to document the celebrated nuptials of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. But instead of playing up his high-profile accomplishment, this unassuming wedding photographer would rather talk about how much he enjoys his job.
Robert shoots weddings to please himself as much as to please his clients. “When I see the photos developed, I want to be excited about the work I did,” he explains. And his artistry and enthusiasm are readily apparent in the finished product. “Rob’s strength is that he truly captures the feeling side’ of the celebration—the energy, flavor and spice of it all. He shot my wedding five years ago, and the day went by in a blur. But the proofs brought us right back to the emotions of the event, let us relive it,” says an admiring fellow photographer.
Any couple lucky enough to book Robert can rest assured that they will get his undivided attention. He only shoots 30 weddings a year so that he can take the time to understand his clients and produce remarkably personalized photos. While Robert specializes in candid, documentary-style photography, he encourages wedding parties to get formal shots, as well. But even his posed family portraits never look stiff or contrived; Robert allows his subjects to “fall into their own poses,” producing organic images of relaxed people.
Robert includes an engagement photo shoot at no cost as part of his package, partly because these photos are a vital part of documenting the couple’s wedding story, and partly because he believes spending time with his clients before the Big Day is essential to taking fabulous photos. “I pay attention to the nuances of the bride’s and groom’s personalities—getting to know your subjects ahead of time makes all the difference in the wedding photos,” he explains. Robert also suggests that the couple choose their own location for the engagement shots, ideally a spot that holds some special significance for them. “Our engagement shoot with Robert was one of my fondest memories of our entire wedding,” raves one bride.
The day of the wedding, Robert takes pains to be unobtrusive and to respect the couple’s privacy. If the bride and groom decide to do photos before the ceremony, Robert spends a few moments shooting their reactions upon seeing each other for the first time, and then disappears for a little while to allow the soon-to-be-wed pair the opportunity to spend some cherished moments alone together.
Another photographer always accompanies Robert during the ceremony and festivities. “He had his assistant up on a roof during our ceremony and he got this great aerial view of us. Everyone who sees our album says, You had your photographer in a helicopter? Wow!’” one former client recalls with a laugh.
Perhaps Robert’s greatest attribute is his perennially relaxed demeanor, a rare and invaluable trait for a wedding photographer. During the last fifteen years, Robert has experienced his share of wedding horrors—he’s even suffered through a bomb threat from a disgruntled uninvited guest—but he always maintains his composure. Fortunately, his sense of calm is infectious-—and it shows in his work.

Services
Robert and his staff choose to photograph only 30 weddings a year so they can spend quality time getting to know their clients and creating very personalized work. Robert uses a very candid, artistic approach; his goal is for his clients to have fun while he “captures what happens, not creates it.” Robert always works with an assistant who also takes photos, so they can be two places at once. They stay for the entire event to capture all the moments of joy from beginning to end.
Robert offers all his clients an engagement shoot that will allow you to get comfortable with each other. His studio offers full photographic services, so if you want a formal bridal portrait, family portrait, or even need photos for business, they can serve you.
Robert Evans Studios guarantees all albums, framed images , and workmanship for life.
