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'm finally back from my awesome trip to Vegas for WPPI! I'm trying to catch up on editing and will get back to all of you who emailed and phoned me as soon as I possibly can.

I was fortunate enough to do a shoot with some models while in Vegas, here's a few from the shoot!

Here are some long awaited images from the Courts portrait session. As usual I had a hard time choosing which ones to put up here, I love them all!

All their Children were gorgeous and very natural in front of my camera, especially their daughter, Tess who didn't really notice me most of the time and just kept on being her 2 year old self.

The Youngest.

Tom and Christina have been together for four years and are getting married next March. They were so adorable and had such great chemistry together, I have no doubt in my mind they will have a happy happy life together.

As usual I just loved too many of the photos to choose a few so there are a lot! Christina had the cutest laugh and could not stop laughing and smiling at Tom.

I love how Tom and Christina were ready to just about do anything, it makes my job so much easier! They laid in the sand, splashed each other in the water and kissed till their lips were probably chapped!

Thanks guys! You were really awesome.

I've decided to change my "slogan" for 2008, I know I know it's a little late. But better late then never!

I'm still going to go through a few minor changes, but here it is...

Next Friday after two portrait sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, I'm heading to Las vegas for 10 days for the biggest bestest photography convention EVER! 

WPPI or Wedding and Portrait Photographers International Conference is in Vegas every year and is a HUGE gathering of wedding and portrait photographers with workshops and a trade show for days and days! I'm very excited and hope to gather a lot of information and get a new perspective on this business as well as some new creative inspirations.

Looking forward to sharing all that I learn with all my future clients!

On Monday a dolphin and her calf were in Cruz Bay Harbor and we were fortunate enough to be on the boat and see them.

Matthew was in the water before I was even up on deck, but once I realized what was happening I grabbed my camera and jumped in the dinghy to grab these shots.

Everyone came out to see them!
