Hi, My name is Greer Rivera.

       This blog documents my life as a professional photographer, it includes photos from recent shoots, offers helpful tips for your wedding, island info, as well as my personal and travel imagery.

My business is based on St.John, US Virgin Islands where I spend my winters, and Martha's Vineyard where I grew up and still return for summers. 

       I believe photography should be natural, classic, clean and simple.  Whether photographing weddings, kids, families, or commercial assignments, I create organic editorial imagery with a genuine life-stylistic approach that is full of energy.

More of my work can be viewed by checking out my website: greerrivera.com

To view images from your session please visit our Client Proofing section. 

Feel free to leave a comment, check out the navigation bar at the top that has lots of useful information or use the search bar if your looking for something specific.

I enjoyed this shoot so much! I'm experimenting with blog photo formats to see what I like best to use on the new blog... Let me know what look you like.

I've been looking forward to this wedding for a while! Ann is a wedding planner for Katilady Katerers and is so wonderful to work with. Contact Ann or Hannah to coordinate your day! This wedding was full of locals (which I'm not used to) and it was great, I'm now known as "Photographer Greer" by the attendees. The flowers were by Susan Pratt atPassion Flower and were so gorgeous!


I love shoes! Even mens...

Just married!

After the ceremony we headed to the beach for some photos.

Such a cute couple.

Michael takes time to smell the flowers.





I couldn't get enough of these flowers.


The paparazzi!

It was a beautiful night at the Westin.

I know I've been MIA lately... I promise I will post ALL the weddings that I've shot this last month very very soon!! If your waiting to see your preview you won't have to wait much longer. Thanks for being so patient... I'm trying to get everything done. 
Updates:~I finally found a new office, definitely outgrew the old one pretty fast! It's at the Marketplace and I love it. I finally have space to breath! ~Matthew and I have been working hard to get the season started right and with all the right equipment to suit my clients needs. I have 4 new lenses coming that I just ordered, so if your wedding is coming up get ready! ~I'm having a new blog designed and will be full of large photos, lots of client resources and even a section for photographers and will be wicked awesome!! Can you tell I'm excited!?~I can NOT believe it's almost Thanksgiving!

If you haven't heard already St.John is getting hit with a category 2 hurricane named Omar. We arrived late last night and have been preparing for the hurricane ever since!

My apologies for not returning many emails as I was traveling and now dealing with the hurricane all while trying to keep up with all my editing.

Right now we are moving to my aunt's house which is much safer. There are reported 10 inches of rain and 100 mph winds coming our way.

I'm a little worried about my wedding on Saturday, but it should be over by Friday morning.

I will not have internet at the other house, but as soon as the hurricane is over I will return all the emails. Thank you for your patience.

Introducing my new logo!

and new Wedding website!

I thought it would be easier to keep portraits and weddings separate.

I still have a few more changes until my new image is complete!
