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.

Award winning puppy!
I'm so incredibly proud of my little puppy, Lucca for winning 3rd place in obedience class of the Ag fair dog show!

I have been working very hard training her and it finally paid off! 
Hopefully we'll get first next year!

Riley aka Rye Rye
Some of you might remember my mom's dog Douglas who died in May.

We've been missing Dougie very much and my mom really missed having a dog around all the time... Sooo she got a new puppy!  She wanted to wait a little longer to get one but I saw an ad for Rottweiler puppies in the newspaper that were in our town of West Tisbury. 

We went to see the puppies twice before we chose to take Riley home, there were three males.  All the puppies wore different colored collars and Riley's was red so we started calling him "Red" which turned into Riley.

We picked him up a couple weeks ago when he was 9 weeks old.  He has grown SO much since she got him, I'm scared to think of how big he will get.  His paws are already bigger then Lucca's and she's 9 months! 

Here are a few photos of his second time at the beach.

I absolutely LOVE the photo below on the left! I'm gonna get a big print made for my mom to frame.

Ohh he knows that innocent face SO well! Don't let it fool you!
Riley_blog5.jpg
Alright so this photo is my absolute favorite!  Another I'm gonna have framed.  So my puppy Lucca is 9 months old and LOVES Riley.. a little too much!  Riley loves Lucca too but more in a "I don't know what to do with you so I'm gonna run and bite you" kind of way.  I think this photo is a perfect example of their relationship so far!  So funny! I love Lucca's face too, tongue out and ears flying!

An action shot.

I had no idea I got this shot till I downloaded the cards! He had shook his head because of the water and this was the next shot.... so cute.  The one on the right is just Riley, how he is all the time, always with the tongue out!
