Whether you’re celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime wedding or savoring a slow morning at home, my photography will honor the people and promises at the heart of it all.

This work isn’t about staging emotion or putting on a performance. It’s about noticing what’s sacred, making space for presence, and creating images that last far beyond the moment.

Meet Rob Jinks

I don’t take it lightly when you invite me into your story.

After 10+ years and hundreds of weddings, this remains true: it all starts with trust, connection, and a shared belief that this really matters.

Whether we’re hiking through Shenandoah, gathering with your people downtown, or in the backyard of a beloved home, I’m there to notice what’s sacred and make it last. I aim to capture the kind of photographs that don’t just look beautiful, but genuinely reflect you and the life you’re creating.

WHAT’S BEING SAID

"He truly was able to capture our wedding day in a way that brought us tears of joy."

When my husband and I began looking for photographers, we looked at many different photographers portfolios and Rob’s stuck out the most. The way he was able to capture couples weddings from start to finish in such a way that told the story was truly amazing. I can say without a doubt, that out of every vendor we booked for our wedding, Rob is the one who was worth every single penny. If we had to do our entire wedding over again, he’d be the first on our list to book! From talking before the booking process to the photo reveal, it was such a smooth process and he made the whole thing feel magical.

“This man is an artist! So engaging and great at drawing out the story of the couple he's working with.”

I had thoughts of what my engagement and wedding photos should look like and they weren't based on what I wanted but my expectations from other's photos. Rob was so good at capturing mine and my wife's personalities and the photos are so much more enjoyable as a result! Also, he's great with kids!

“He has an eye for images that evoke a feeling and really capture a moment in time (I can look at any picture and almost hear the music and laughter in the background).”

Our wedding was so much fun and I feel that all of the photos reflect that. I was so excited to see the photos and I was not disappointed. They were all fantastic. Yes, we did have the traditional posed and orderly group/family pictures, which look exquisite. Yet, my favorites are all the candids. They truly show the feeling of the evening of joy, frivolity, love, and nerdyness. As I have said before I absolutely love Rob Jinks’ work, I can’t say enough good things about him or his work.

“He doesn't just capture pictures from the day, he captures the emotions that made the day everything that it was.”

My husband and I were completely blown away by what he was able to do; he shattered our expectations and then some. Everything was very organic, we spent very little time posing for photos aside from getting the obligatory family portraits. Even our individual portrait photos were just us wandering around the venue and Rob capturing our playfulness and silliness. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined.
