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've been so busy trying to get all my work done before we leave for the season in a few weeks I almost forgot to post some photos of The Hicks family I photographed at Caneel Bay.  

A whole family of lawyers!

Today Lucca is at the vet all day getting spayed. :(  I miss her terribly at the office today so I'm putting up a few photos of her from last month on Matthew's Birthday, the first day she swam alone without us putting her in the water!  We were so proud of her... Our little baby growing up!

This is soooo cute! I love swimming dogs. Truly, I love almost all dogs, but swimming ones have that expression that says "ahhhhh" and it's heart melting.

Jacqueline and Richard were married on Trunk Bay in the late afternoon and chose to have their reception at Rhapsody Villa right outside of Cruz Bay with a fabulous view of the sunset. 

The day was coordinated by the fabulous Janelle Scott from Island Bliss Weddings, the wonderful food was prepared by Passion Fruit Chefs and the jammin' music was provided by Eric aka "DJ Snow", with Captain Phil Chalker officiating! 

The details on Jacqueline's dress were amazing!

Jen and Todd were married in the morning at Caneel Bay Resort on St.John.  We met an hour before their ceremony was scheduled on the sailboat Spitfire

Here are some of my favorites. 


This is probably my favorite ring shot I've ever taken! I love that stuff on the left.

A few weeks ago we headed over to Tortola for 2 days to do yet again another Photo shoot for Ranifly Bikinis's website and promo pieces.  Justin and Natalie (pictured below) were kind enough to welcome us into their luxurious home "Steele Point" to shoot, play and sleep. 

I love love this one! Are they not the most adorable couple?! They have a wedding planned for the future, I'm hoping to shoot it.

Ranifly2_blog3.jpgI'm in love with the cut of these bottoms-a little low rise, a little boy shorts!
