    Absolutely recommend, without any hesitation; well worth the investment

    Kniley photography was exceptional to work with for my proposal. Bob responded right after I reached out on his website and was able to fit me in to his busy schedule without hesitation. Right away, Bob went above and beyond to help me with logistics and settle my nerves: he recorded a video introducing himself and set up a call for us to discuss my plans and share some of his suggestions. Once we reached an agreement, he sent me a video tour of the proposal site I had decided on, providing insight and photography suggestions, but always supportive and willing to accommodate. The actual proposal day went perfectly, and the photos came out spectacular; I have received countless praise on the quality of the photos and couldn't be happier with how they came out. My fiancé was surprised and thrilled to have these photos capturing this special moment. I would absolutely recommend Kniley photography, without hesitation. Well worth the investment. Each of these "5 stars" is placed with honesty, sincerity, and truth.

    Incredible Attentiveness and Personability

    My fiancé and I had a wonderful engagement shoot with Bob. We're both a little camera shy, yet Bob took such care and patience to direct us we didn't have to worry about a thing. We also received our pictures much earlier than we expected, and they turned out amazing. Super excited to get to work with him again for the wedding day!

    POST WEDDING UPDATE:
    Bob and Becky were absolutely wonderful and exceeded our already high expectations. They were professional, patient and courteous, making us and our wedding party feel at ease in front of the camera to lead to some incredible photos.
    Bob took care to check in multiple times during the wedding planning process and jumped on a very helpful detailed call one week before the wedding (which put our last minute worries at ease). Choosing Kniley Photography was one of our best wedding decisions without a doubt.

    Amazing Photographer!

    Bob is an amazing photographer. He's extremely good at what he does, and he is a true joy to work with. The quality of his work has far surpassed our expectation, and choosing him as our wedding photographer was a no brainer! Highly recommend you consider using him.

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much! You two make it easy! :-) I love that you've felt good about your decision so far, and I'm looking forward to planning the perfect day with you in the months ahead.

    Outstanding work

    Other than the venue, the photographer was the biggest, most important decision for me. I had a very specific vision I wanted for our photos and felt like I was going to have to settle. I talked with about 9 photographers before finding the right one. Bob Kniley is based out of Lima, NY. After inquiring with him, my husband and I went to his studio and talked for about 2 hours about our relationship, families, friends, and our wedding day. Not only is he extremely talented, which you can tell upon first glance at his portfolio, but he is so thoughtful, kind, and really goes above and beyond for his couples. He was THE BEST. He talked with me multiple times throughout the planning process, gave me the best advice for the wedding day, and overall was just so supportive and excited throughout the planning process. We are looking forward to our “reveal celebration” where he brings each couple he works with into his studio where you get to see your wedding photos as well as customized album(s) and artwork for the first time together. After seeing a few sneak peek photos, I cannot wait for the big reveal! I seriously cannot recommend Bob enough, such a hardworking, dedicated, talented, considerate photographer and person!

    Highly Recommend!

    I can not say enough wonderful things about Kniley Photography. Bob has been absolutely amazing throughout this whole wedding process. During our engagement session, he made both me and my fiance feel comfortable in front of the camera which made our experience that much more fun. Not only is he a ​​phenomenal photographer that truly cares about you, your vision, and your wedding but he will help you along the way with anything you may need. I highly recommend you consider him for your wedding!!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Wow Mackenzie, thank you so much! I loved our session together and the vision you brought to it - I'm glad I got to capture it with you! Can't wait for your wedding!

    Engagement Photos

    We had a great time at our engagement shoot and love our photos. We absolutely cannot wait for Kniley Photography to photograph our wedding next spring! We love Bob’s simple, natural style. Also Bob was super kind and flexible in helping us get some photos with our pup who has been having health problems and couldn’t join us for the full shoot. Thank you!!!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much! I'm so glad we got pictures with your pup, and I hope he gets better soon!!

    I love the natural smiles and laughter you two had together and I can't wait for your wedding day!

    Professional Photographer that Feels Like a Friend

    From our first interaction with Bob Kniley we were struck by his professionalism and sincerity. Bob has a very warm nature, which proved to be very helpful and calming on our wedding day. Bob also has great attention to detail. We had multiple meetings and conversations with him in advance of our wedding day so that he understood our vision and so that he would be able to capture the moments that were most important to us.

    This advance work paid off on our wedding day. Bob made sure to capture all the shots we wanted during and after our ceremony and at our reception. Bob's assistant photographer, Natalia, was also great to work with and was very helpful. We couldn't have been happier with how the day went.

    Bob's professionalism, responsiveness, and calm demeanor helped make our perfect wedding day possible. We are so grateful that we had Bob be part of our special day and we would recommend Kniley Photography to anyone. We have already seen a sneak peek of photos and they are incredible. We can't wait to see the rest. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in the Rochester area, look no further the Kniley Photography. You won't be disappointed.

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Wow Sean, thank you so much for these kind words! I'm so glad I could be part of your day - you both put so much into it. Thank you for letting me be part of it all!

    Kniley Photo 10/10!

    We are so grateful to have booked Bob. From the moment we first met back in 2018, he immediately clicked with us and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and excited to take pictures. On the wedding day, Bob was so professional and attentive to scheduling, which made everything feel effortless. We are so excited to see all our pictures and are so grateful to have had this experience!

    Phenomenal!

    Bob and his assistant were amazing! He is so creative with his photography skills. He captures the little moments! I would HIGHLY recommend Bob and Kniley Photography! Bob was there from start to finish to help with the details. Helping plan a schedule and stay on track. We spoke about group pictures we wanted before hand, so it wasn’t crazy during the moment. He is professional, and fun to work with!

    You NEED Bob as your photographer!

    Bob was incredible to work with! We just got married three days ago, and he was so professional and just plain “classy” from start to end. One of the things we especially appreciated about Bob was his communication. He was responsive to all of our requests, and sent frequent email updates and check-ins throughout the engagement. Also, and most importantly, his photos are out-of-this world gorgeous. Our engagement photos blew us away, and we just received our sneak peak photos that I am already obsessed with. We can’t recommend him enough!

    Bob Kniley was an excellent photographer!! He was very fun, engaged, and creative in all of our photoshoots. On the wedding day he took so many stunning photos and we are so happy with his work 😄

    Choosing Bob is the best decision you can make!

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer choosing Bob is a no brainer. The way he supported and guided us throughout our wedding process put everything at ease for my wife and I. Not to mention, he stuck with us for 2 years due to the pandemic. His attention to detail and how comforting and organized he was truly blew my expectations away. You should not consider any other photographer for your special day and make the very easy decision and choose Bob!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Brendan, I'm so glad everything came together like it did, despite all the delays of the pandemic. You two were amazing from start to finish. You two look great in photographs and you're wonderful together! Thank you!

    A Wedding Dream!

    We knew instantly we wanted Bob as our photographer the moment we met. From there, we couldn’t have asked for anything better between our engagement session and the wedding day! He made everything seamless, talked with us openly and honestly about wedding details, and we felt like it was a friend photographing us and not just a vendor. We wish we could hire Bob over and over again!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Oh my goodness Mary, thank you so much! I loved every bit of your day, and I appreciate how genuinely you shared all of your most important moments with me and those around you. I'm so honored that I got to be part of your wedding. Enjoy your honeymoon!!!

    Photography that's Extraordinary!

    I cannot say enough great things about bob and Kniley photography. From the beginning I knew we could trust and count on them to capture our special moments. They stayed in contact with us the entire time and made everything so easy! They are so thoughtful and kind. We received tickets and a gift card to the movies for a date night on them randomly prior to our wedding and had so much fun. They really think of all the little details and have the best communication. Bob sent us videos throughout our time up to the wedding to help explain things which was amazing. We received our photos quickly and he even has an app made for your phone to view them. The quality of the photos are just amazing and he really captures the emotions. The products that you can order after like photo books and wall art are such great quality. I have not seen anything close to this photography company when I was looking prior to deciding on who to use. We are so happy with Kniley photography and all of our photos!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Alicia, your day was so wonderfully gorgeous, fun, and YOU - I'm so glad I got to be part of it! Thanks for sharing you story with me, and enjoy your photographs!

    Already looking to book Kniley Photography again!

    Bob Kniley should be at the top of your wedding guest list! He is the most enthusiastic, supportive, and reliable photographer we could have asked for, and is so much more than a wedding photographer. Bob really took the time to get to know who we were as a couple prior to our wedding. This was important in accurately portraying our story... you can tell he’s so dedicated to his craft! He provided us with helpful tips and advice beginning months before our big day, which really helped ease any pre-wedding jitters we had. On our wedding day, he made sure to be present at all the special moments, capturing both the big and the little moments, and made us feel relaxed and comfortable with the photography. We are going to look back on these photos and treasure them forever. We can’t thank Bob enough and we’re already looking for another excuse to book him again!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Hi Lauren, thank you so much for your kind words! I've loved working with you and your team to capture your gorgeous day, and I'm so happy with how it all turned out! Thank you for inviting me to be part of your story!

    Kniley Photography is so much more than an amazing photography business. Bob's talent and artistic eye are phenomenal and his genuine willingness to get to know you as a couple is so refreshing. He was such a huge help leading up to the big day and became essential to the flow of all things happening on the most important day of our lives. Hands down, hiring Kniley Photography was the best decision we've made, second only to our decision to get married in the first place!

    We love Kniley Photography!

    We chose Kniley Photography for our wedding photographer, and we are so happy we did! Bob is awesome, great to work with, and truly cares about getting to know his clients! We had to postpone our wedding, due to COVID, and changed our wedding date not once, but twice. Bob was there for us the whole time, and kept in touch with us consistently throughout the wedding planning process. He was a great resource and gave us lots of helpful hints and ideas, which I really appreciated. He spent almost 2 hours with me, during the week before the wedding, going over my schedule and shot list - I was so impressed.
     
    On our big day, Bob helped make sure everything was running on time with our schedule. One thing that really stood out to me was that I actually forgot about a few pictures on my shot list that I wanted - Bob made sure to come up to me on the dance floor, before he left, to ask if I still wanted those pictures - and I am so grateful. His assistant Becky was also fantastic! She was a friendly, smiling face that was close by the entire day for anything we needed. She helped set up a lot of our shots, and also corralled family members into the group shots, which was super helpful! Many of my guests commented on how great Kniley Photography was at our wedding: "he must have taken a million pictures," "he was there at all the crucial moments." We cannot wait for our "grand reveal" to see all of the pictures from our beautiful day! Thank you, Kniley Photography!

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your thoughts, Kaitlyn! You two were so thoughtful in your plans from start to finish, and I'm so honored and grateful I got to photograph your memories for you. I can't wait to show you the moments we captured together, and thank you again!!

    Thoughtful, Professional & Experienced Wedding Photographer

    Bob is the best of the best when it comes to wedding photography. I have attended a number of weddings but I have never been in a wedding myself and didn't know the first thing about how to plan or prepare for my wedding day. Bob went above and beyond with helpful hints throughout the planning process that I wouldn't have thought of or considered, and he made my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera. As we got closer to the wedding day, he took the time to have a thoughtful and thorough conversation about the day of timeline which no other vendor paid a lot of attention to. His attention to detail to our day of timeline and family photo lineup allowed me to be so stress-free the day of. I truly think our wedding day could have gone off the rails timewise if Bob wasn't there to be our fearless leader keeping everything running smoothly. This includes getting ready, first look(s), ceremony, post family pictures, post receptions pictures and so many more!! Bob is truly the most experienced and trusted wedding photographer in Rochester, NY. I did not have a care in the world on my wedding day because I knew I could trust Bob who had prepared equally as much as I did. I am thrilled with our wedding photos that we'll cherish forever.

    Kniley Photography's reply:

    Umm, I have tears in my eyes at how beautiful your words are. You, your family, and friends made your day so wonderful, and I'm incredibly honored I got to be part of it. I love the plan we made together and how comfortable it made everyone throughout the day. Your wedding was amazing, and you two are beautiful people. Thank you so much for inviting me into your story! ❤️

    Incredible, great to work with!!

    Bob was absolutely amazing to work with. From the day we sat down to meet him and go over what we wanted for our day, we knew that he would be the perfect photographer to capture every precious moment. He spent well over an hour talking with us, getting to know us and our story, and what we had in mind for our day. Bob made the planning process as easy as possible and was extremely responsive to all emails and calls as we worked out our schedule and the things we had in mind for the day. On our wedding day, Bob and his assistant Becky were very professional and organized and had our day running smoothly. He worked closely with our day-of coordinator, DJ, and caterer to make sure that we were on schedule and the team was on the same page. He also did an incredible job at arranging our family photo sessions as I have a very large family. He handled it with ease and never missed a beat. I highly recommend Bob to anyone. He is an incredible photographer and just overall a great person to work with.

    You know those people who hate their wedding pictures?! IMPOSSIBLE WITH BOB KNILEY! He was so attentive and amazing on our wedding day. He put my wife at ease by assisting with a wedding timeline and sticking to it. Our photos are amazing and he made it so easy.

    Bob was so responsive, professional, calming, endearing, and enjoyable all at the same time. His assistant was a perfect fit, and SO helpful throughout the entire day. I would choose Bob over and over for future photography. His assistance with building the wedding day timeline and the follow through was very helpful, I didn't have to think about a think on my wedding day!
