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.

While doing all the things I have to do, I was glancing through some of Saturday's wedding and these two jumped out at me.  There's plenty of other gorgeous shots!

I know that Lisa and Michael have been waiting patiently for a sneak peek of their wedding photos and while the internet is good here in the Dominican Republic I'll make it quick.  They had a wonderful ceremony at The Westin Resort  and a fabulous reception at Asolare Restaurant

Here are just a few of my favorites!

Alexis and Tom were married a couple weeks ago at Hawksnest Bay on the North shore of St.John.  They had a intimate ceremony with a reception at Vistaero Villa.  They also scheduled a day after session with me...coming up next!


Their rings were so beautiful I couldn't decide which photo I liked better.

Marcy and Derek were married at the end of April, the first of my "spring rush".  I've been looking forward to this wedding since the first time I met Marcy a year ago.  They chose to have the ceremony at Cinnamon Bay and their reception at Asolare. 


They chose to see each other before the ceremony and it was a very emotional moment for both of them.

Marcy's vows were very moving.

So sweet...

I love the way her dress moved in the wind.

My first attempt at a ring shot using flash...I like how it turned out a lot and will be doing this much more often!

This photo reminds me of a old painting.

I took this while the guests were eating dinner. It's Cruz Bay harbor and St.Thomas. You can actually see our boat way down there.

I have lots more wedding and portraits to post up here so look for them in the next few days.
