WEDDING

PHOTOGRAPHY

OK, so you’ve looked through some photos, perhaps read some reviews, and now wish to learn more…

Choosing the right wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning your day. At Rob Hickey Photography, I offer wedding photography in Rochester, Buffalo, the Finger Lakes, Syracuse, and throughout Western NY with a style that blends authentic photojournalism and creative portraiture.

Tailored Wedding Photography Packages

Every couple is unique, which is why I offer customizable wedding photography packages. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a full-day celebration, I provide coverage designed to fit your needs. Packages often include engagement photo sessions, timelines, and the flexibility to create something personal.

What to Expect on Your Day

My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you to focus on your wedding while I capture the story as it unfolds. From preparation through your first dance, I document candid moments and create timeless portraits with minimal staging, ensuring your images feel genuine and natural.

Serving Rochester & Beyond

While I am primarily a Rochester wedding photographer, I also photograph weddings across Buffalo, the Finger Lakes, and Syracuse. Wherever your celebration takes place, I bring the same dedication to capturing authentic memories that will be cherished for generations.

Booking Me

Once the contract is signed and the 25% reservation deposit is received you are booked.

Prior to Your Wedding Day

Throughout the entire time leading up to your wedding day I am always available to promptly reply to your calls and emails.

I will have already discussed the importance of time-line planning that realistically reflects time allotments for every facet of your day. From a wedding photography perspective this affects your all formal photos (couple, family, wedding party) the most. They are the one part of the your wedding coverage that’s not observational photojournalism in nature and must be planned and directed by me.

If you’re using a wedding coordinator, please introduce us via email. We need to be on the same page with the time-line and other details to best serve you.

Next, I will send you a questionnaire that asks specifics about all you might want in your coverage. Aside from general info you’ll be able to pick your “must haves” for family & wedding party groupings and nearly everything else you can think of. Most selections are in check box lists for you to select. Write in’s are there for what I don’t cover that you wish to add.

I ask for the questionnaire to please be completed no later than 2 weeks prior to the wedding day. That far out leaves enough time for us to address possible bottlenecks in time-line that slipped though.

Finally, approximately one week out we’ll have a final phone consult to finalize your day.

Full day wedding coverage begins at $2400
