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.

On January 30 I went to the Animal Care Center here on St.John because I saw a puppy in town and the owner said there were more at the Animal Care Center. 
I fell instantly in love when I saw the four of them in their cage and my heart sunk because I knew I wouldn't be able to take all of them..if any. 

I went home that night and talked about the puppies for probably 5 hours!

The next day I returned with my mom and decided to try out a puppy for a week trial. She was the smallest one and just as feisty as her brother and sisters. It was heartbreaking taking her away from her siblings and mom but I know she will be happier. 
Matthew was pretty shocked when I arrived home with a puppy in hand, but fell in love pretty quick! That night we both decided we could not bring her back and had to keep her! 

Introducing our new puppy, Lucca! We named her after a town in Italy that we visited this June. 

I love this one!

This is what I saw the other day while leaving my office at the Marketplace.  I didn't have time to go back inside to get my big camera so I took this one with my iPhone. STJ sunset.jpeg
There is no photoshop done to this image, just natural yumminess! It really was breathtaking.
