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 much needed vacation... and it was WONDERFUL!
I have a million other things to be doing then editing photos from my trip but while I work on getting everything done here's a photo from our anchorage in Bahia de Samana in the Dominican Republic.
Here's a slideshow of Matthew's photos as well.

A few months ago my friends and I rented the power yacht "Bad Kitty" (which our friend captains) and headed out to Virgin Gorda for the day. We went to the baths, it was my first time, and it was AMAZING! These photos do not do it justice... You'll have to just go see for yourself.
Here's a few favorites of my beautiful friends!
Coco in motion...
Zan and Carey, Coco decided to splash them in the face with some water right as I was taking a "sweet" photo of them. But I like this WAY better!
Zan. Enough said.
Beautiful Carey
80's jump!
Vine climbing.
The water was so warm that day.
If you were wondering that is St.John on her side, not just a squiggly line.
The gang. Don't know who those people are behind us.
Lounging on a rock...
Then my creative friends wanted to make a VI for Virgin Islands to represent.

Our family/my mom's Rottweiler, Douglas had to be put down today.
He was 11 1/2 years old and will be missed incredibly. We buried him on my aunt's 5 acre property in Coral Bay overlooking a gorgeous view under a tree next to a very old stone wall... a perfect resting place.
Douglas was a very unusual dog, he preferred green peppers before steak, I once held the two out for him and he grabbed the pepper...then the steak! He also LOVED anything that smelled good, perfume, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body wash, clothes from the dryer... and hence his love of women.
On numerous occasions when I was in high school, in the morning I would shower, then run downstairs in my towel to get clothes from the dryer... well I never made it very far because Doug would rub up against me (all 115 pounds of him) and knock me to the ground just rubbing his face into my hair while inhaling deeply. Those were happy times.
Here's a photo of Dougie I took at the beach a few months ago, right before we got Lucca.
Before we got Dougie as a puppy he was photographed by the famous Weimaraner photographer, William Wegman. The photo is too adorable for words but unfortunately I don't have it here to show.
We miss him very very much and will treasure all the photos I have of his life with us.

In a little over a week we are packing up our things bringing our home with us and sailing out of here up north to the little island of Martha's Vineyard, where I'm originally from. We love the migration we have established and spend every summer there!
We will be sailing our sailboat/home "Basta" our 30ft Charlie Morgan where we will make several stops along the way. Some of the planned locations on our "cruise" include (in sailing order) Culebra and Vieques (small islands off of Puerto Rico); Old San Juan, Puerto Rico; Samana, Dominican Republic; The Turks and Caicos; The Bahama chain (most islands there), then we will head off shore for 4 days till we get to Beaufort, North Carolina where we will enter the Intracoastal Waterway (aka the "ICW") from there we will follow that up the east coast of the US, where we will stop in Wilmington, NC (to visit friends we know from St.John for a few days), Annapolis, Maryland; The Chesapeake; Cape May; The Outer banks; Washington D.C.; NYC; Long island; Providence, RI; and then finally Martha's Vineyard where the boat will stay till October when we sail it back down! We know people in most of these places so it should be a great time!
I will be returning to St.John for weddings and portraits between June 18-July 5, then returning to Martha's Vineyard for the whole Summer!
I will be posting photos and updates along the way whenever we are somewhere with internet service.
I will be taking photos to publish a potential book that Matthew will be writing in!
I get pretty sea sick so I've packed lots of Bonine and might get the sea sickness patch so I can still help sail!
We've been planning this for a few months now and are very excited that it is right around the corner, I just need to get all my work done and train Lucca to go to the bathroom ON the boat after we've just trained her to NEVER go on the boat!
Things could get interesting! :)

We hope to do this every year, if everything goes well! But this is our first time we're sailing up. Wish us luck!

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.
