Robert Carlo

Cinematic. Editorial. simply real.

Robert Carlo documents weddings, luxury events, and high-profile celebrations around the world with a signature blend of modern photojournalism and elegant, artistic portraiture. From Paris to Portofino, Miami to the Hamptons, his work is cinematic, emotional, and editorial—imagery that speaks for itself.

Robert believes every wedding, event, and commercial assignment is an opportunity to tell a story with honesty and intention. His approach is defined by a calm, grounded presence—unobtrusive when needed, a steady director when the moment calls for it. He helps keep the day moving smoothly, offering guidance shaped by over a decade of experience, and always prioritizing the couple’s comfort and vision.

Robert doesn’t pose clients. Instead, he creates a relaxed environment where real moments unfold naturally. His goal is simple: for every couple, family, and client to feel at ease, fully themselves, and fully present. The result is imagery that is real, timeless, and deeply personal.

What sets Robert apart is not only his artistry—it’s the way he shows up for his clients. He sees himself as a true partner from the first conversation to the final delivery. With an expert understanding of light (“light is everything”), timelines, and flow, he ensures each shoot is beautifully executed and enjoyable.

Robert’s client list includes industry leaders such as Google, Rolex, Pernod Ricard, Glenlivet, Verizon, eBay, and more. He is trusted for high-profile events, brand activations, corporate gatherings, and intimate celebrations.

When he’s not photographing weddings or events, Robert can often be found wandering the streets of New York City—his greatest source of inspiration—capturing street photography, creating personal art, or unwinding in a classic cigar lounge.

He loves traveling the world with his wife, eating his way through cities, and exploring by foot with no agenda. Italy holds a special place in his heart; he proposed on the Isle of Capri, and the country continues to influence his creative eye.

When not shooting in NYC, Robert often escapes to the coastal low country town of Pawleys island, South Carolina where he spends time golfing, jet skiing, and cruising the beach in his vintage 1989 ford bronco II.

Whether documenting an intimate City Hall ceremony, a destination wedding on the Italian coast, a brand launch, or a milestone event, Robert brings the same dedication to storytelling, the same calm expertise, and the same belief:

- “My Camera is my Instrument. My Album will take Time. I will be Heard.”

Kind Words

  • When we first saw Robert's work, we knew we wanted to work with him.

    We were immediately drawn to his style and felt that his work looked really edgy and editorial, but still natural and fun. Then we met with Robert over Zoom and loved his overall vibe! He's very approachable and easy to talk to (even through a computer screen!), and was very aligned with our vision for our wedding photos.

    Robert really captured all the beauty and love of the wedding - and all the fun we had! There were so many incredible candids that were such a blast to go through and relive the day. We also love all the portrait shots of us, they look so chic - I feel like we're right out of Vogue!

    We couldn't recommend Robert more. He's professional, fun, relaxed, and, of course, incredibly talented! He helped the day run smoothly and captured the spirit of the day so beautifully.

  • We are SO grateful we chose Robert as our wedding photographer.

    His laid-back presence was exactly what we needed on a day that was bound to be busy and a little overstimulating. He brought a calm, easy energy to every moment.

    One of the biggest reasons we chose him to shoot our engagement & wedding photos was his ability to make the city feel like a character rather than just a backdrop, and he completely delivered on that front. NYC is our home and a huge part of our love story, so the way he wove the city into our photos is something we’ll treasure forever.

    Robert is talented, thoughtful, a great communicator, and extremely easy to work with. We couldn’t recommend him more.

  • We are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos!

    Robert exceeded every expectation and captured the day more beautifully than we could have imagined.

    Every time we look at our photos, it brings back every emotion - from the excitement and tears of our first look and vow reading, how personal our ceremony felt despite the grandeur of the church, and of course the absolute party we had on the dance floor. Robert somehow managed to capture it all - the big moments and the quiet in-between ones that made the day so meaningful.

    His photos truly tell the story of our wedding from start to finish, and we feel so lucky to be able to relive it over and over again through his work.
