Robert Rios Photography
I’m Robert Rios, a wedding and portrait photographer with over 15 years of experience, dedicated to capturing the intersection of genuine emotion and timeless elegance.
Documenting budget weddings and celebrations with an editorial lens for cost conscious clients with whimsical style.
With a formal education in architecture, a professional history as a Creative Director and Project Management, I bring a unique structural and cinematic perspective to my work. My approach is a deliberate fusion of creative artistry, modern composition and editorial flair.
I love working with creative, high-spirited couples who value authenticity; and if you have a geeky vibe we might just be a perfect fit. By fostering a meaningful connection with my clients, I create an environment where they feel comfortable being their truest selves. This bond allows me to move beyond traditional posing to capture the real, spontaneous moments and emotions that define the story of your day.

Comic Culture Canon:
At 6 years old my mom took us to Universal Studios California where I saw the "Back to the Future" Delorean and spoke to K.I.T., as a kid that had just moved to the States from Nicaragua, this was a core memory that would play a role huge role in guiding me to a life of comics, superheroes, drawing and all things creative. My cinematic holy trinity consists of The Matrix, Avengers: Infinity War, and literally anything with Star Wars in the title.
Soundtrack:
I’ve spent most of my life behind a drum kit, playing in various bands but the main stay has been my my high-school band and its various names throughout the years (Hard Core Jalapeño in highschool and final form of "City of Sirens"). If you hear heavy polyrhythms echoing from my office, I’m probably listening to Tool, Primus, Deftones, Korn, Metallica, or Pantera.
Fun Fact: I've DJ'ed weddings and have been in the live band for weddings.
Fuel & Refreshments:
My culinary allegiance belongs entirely to Mexican cuisine. Hand me a Margarita—specifically the legendary one from Lime—and lets have a good time.
On the Move:
When I'm not behind the lens or my computer editing, my wife and I are usually in motion. Running, cycling or gym. Traveling is also a big part of our lives and enjoy adventuring across the globe. Thus far Portugal and Spain have been our top locations.
Why PHOTOGRAPHY
After everything is said and done, all we have are our memories and pictures, and sometimes memories fade.
I love being able to give my couples, families and clients images that will allow them to relive moments in their lives that spark joy and happiness. Images that bring them back to that special time in their lives.
