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.

Going through some images for a shoot I just did for Ranifly Bikinis for a feature in St.John Magazine this photo stood out. 

Love the overall feeling of this shot.  Pretty much sums up our day.

While I was in NYC I photographed Emma and Tyler for each of their modeling portfolio's, I was going to photograph them separately seeing as they had never met but decided it might be more fun to photograph them together for part of the shoot too.  They are both easy going people and had no problem acting as though they had known each other for years! 

Tyler is pursuing acting while Emma is a professional dancer in the city, both are going to do modeling on the side to make some extra cash.  

Here are a few of my favorites!  


Love these classic portraits of Tyler.  Such a pretty face!

Emma is a dancer and moved to NYC to pursue dancing professionally while doing some modeling on the side, she recently got signed with a dance agency and is on tour.  She even met her musician boyfriend while dancing in his music video, now if that's not a requirement in that industry I don't know what is!

I should say that your photographic skills are very good. And of course the models are really attractive.

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.
