Hi, hello.
You are wildly unique and need a photographer to capture each and every detail of your unforgettable wedding day or portrait session. With nearly two decades of experience, I will not only photograph your story in full, but also provide a calm and steady presence all the while.
My name is Robyn, and I photographed my first wedding in 2006. Yes, that was before Pinterest or Instagram even existed, (they wouldn’t come along for another four years what!) in the days where following tradition felt literally more important than following your heart.
Now however, we exist in a time where you take the steering wheel and decide all the details of your wedding… including if you want to stick to traditions that are meaningful for you – or simply throw tradition out the window altogether.
What excites me most about photography after all of these years are the endlessly creative, imaginative and remarkably kind people I’ve had the pleasure to meet and work with.
Each and every wedding is one-of-a-kind, because the two people at the heart of each wedding are extraordinarily unique. I am forever humbled with the trust and kindness shown by couples and their community of family and friends, and I hope to never take for granted their entrusting me with capturing some of the most treasured moments of their lives.
As you’re in the process of looking for the Oklahoma wedding and portrait photographer who will capture your vision, I would love to connect and hear your story. Click the button below to reach out today.

“Robyn is one of the easiest photographers I have ever worked with, and the most organized too! Her attention to detail in photographs is breathtaking as well. Our wedding party had so much fun working with her! Thank you so much for capturing our perfect day! Every time I look through them, I want to go back and do it all over again!”
-Valerie
“From first sitting down with Robyn I felt instantly at ease. She listened and worked with me. She never tried to shove me into what she thought would be a good direction, but really just let me lead her to my vision. She tried her best to give me what I was picturing. I ended up with beautiful photos that were filled with love and joy. They truly captured what we were trying to achieve with our wedding and I couldn’t be happier. Such a joy to work with.”
-Julie
“Robyn came recommended by my wedding planner and from the very first meeting with her I knew she was going to be incredible to work with. She made it a point to find out exactly what our wedding vibe was, what kind of pictures we wanted, and what we expected out of our pictures. We also bonded over our mutual love of cats and I told her how much I would love to have a few wedding shots with our cats. She was completely on board and excited and assured me that she would be able to make that happen. She kept in touch with me up to the wedding day to make sure everything would go smoothly on the day of. I absolutely could not be more pleased with how my pictures turned out!! I get so many compliments on how fun and beautiful they are, and I frequently meet people who already know of me (“oh you’re the cat wedding lady!”) because my family/friends have shown off our photos so much. Robyn is a gem and I promise you, you won’t find a better photographer!”
-Tara
“I adored everything about working with Robyn. I appreciated her laid back demeanor and positive attitude, and I always felt comfortable around her. She is very affirmative and enthusiastic so I never felt stupid or like I couldn’t be me. Robyn is a treasure of a photographer and a gem to work with. Easily one of the best decisions I made about my wedding. She took time to make us feel comfortable, took amazing shots, and gave us images that perfectly encapsulated our engagement and wedding. I love her so much I have used her for boudoir shots and plan to use her for pictures in the coming years. She is professional, affordable, and has an innate talent to see beauty in the world around her. I wholeheartedly give her my highest recommendations.”
-Kelli
“I just looked at all of our beautiful wedding pictures again and I just can’t thank you enough for capturing our special day the way you did! It brings back all of the wonderful emotions and love from that day when I look at them. I am forever indebted to you!! You have an amazing talent and you were so easy to work with!”
-Christine
“I loved our photoshoot experience because it was my first one and Robyn made it so comfortable. It was a wonderful first experience and the location was amazing. If James and I see wedding bells in the future, I know who I’m going to be hunting back down as our photographer.”
-Westin
“Robyn is so sweet and generous with her time and ideas. She rolled with the flow when I wanted to bring furniture out to the edge of a lake, wonderfully worked with our persnickety puppy, and let us laugh and snuggle and have fun during our session. We treasure all of the photos she took!”
-Liz
“Photos are very important to me, and a photographer was one of the first things I chose for our wedding. It can be difficult to choose from the multitudes of photographers online, but after looking at her photos online of past weddings and engagement sessions I immediately liked Robyn’s style. We met with her once and knew we liked her immediately. She was one of the first wedding vendors we met with so I was nervous but she just has a way of making you feel at ease with her and we were laughing with her right away, which was great during the photo sessions. I loved all of our engagement photos and used them on our save the dates and even used some for our parent’s Christmas presents. When our wedding came around I was a little nervous that there was only one photographer to capture all the different angles of the ceremony, but after receiving our photos you would think there were two or three photographers, she didn’t miss a shot! All of our photos were beautiful and if I did it all over again I would definitely choose Robyn again!”
-Anna
“Robyn is such a great person to begin with, it was such an easy choice to use her as our photographer! So much fun and easy to work with! Thank you Robyn for helping make my wedding so memorable!!”
-Sarah
“Our marriage portrait session downtown with Robyn was fun and adventurous. Our photo session started as a thorough exploration of Full Circle Books, then we wound up dancing in the fall foliage downtown and playing with pumpkins by a cupcake shop! Some of our favorite photos were the ones that were completely unplanned, when we didn’t even realize the camera was going. It was a great way to showcase our relationship.”
-Christina
“Robyn did our engagement and wedding photos. I fell in love with her natural photography style and the raw emotions in her pictures. She captured our wedding day so beautifully and looking through the photo album I cannot help but feel all the emotions again from that day. Having a second shooter/sidekick to capture the details was awesome. Robyn is friendly and so sweet. We have enjoyed working with her this past year!! She has been a joy and everyone that has seen our wedding and engagement pictures rave about her.”
-Angel
“Robyn made both me and my husband feel very comfortable. Robyn was quick to respond to any and all communication and was truly interested in what we wanted. I had contacted other photographers, but I either received no response, or I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling that they truly cared about us and our big day. All of her prices were very reasonable, and I felt not only did we get amazing photos, but that she was able to capture all of our favorite moments. When I catch a glimpse of one of our wedding pics, it makes me want to go back through and look at all of them again to relive that day.”
-Emily
“We had so much fun! We never once felt uncomfortable or self-conscious about showing affection. We would get lost in each other and just had an absolute blast. Robyn makes everything feel so natural and fun and has such great ideas for places and poses to take the pictures! Thank you for the great experience!”
-Kristin
“Robyn’s photos are exactly what I wanted my wedding photos to be. I hate pictures of myself but some of the ones she took of me are wonderful. And the photos of our friends and family! She got some of the best candid moments, which is exactly what we asked her to do. Also she is a delightful and wonderful human being. Robyn helped make a wonderful day just that much better. If you’re considering her, then go with her; she’s absolutely worth it.”
-Apryl
“Jonathan and I had so much fun taking pictures with you. It was such a blessing and I cannot stop raving about how wonderful you have been to work with. I can’t express how much it means to me for Jonathan to tell me “It was a lot of fun and very relaxed. Definitely not at all stressful as I thought it was going to be.” Thanks for capturing the sticky-sweetness of our love.”
