About Roman Photography
Roman Photography
I’m a professionally trained photographer and a graduate of a professional photography program. I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, learning to anticipate moments, stay calm under pressure, work fast in changing light, and capture real emotion without being obtrusive. That documentary foundation is what I bring to weddings. For 25 years, I’ve photographed weddings as a wedding photojournalist, focused on authentic moments, real interactions, and the in-between details. For portraits, I keep things artistic and natural with gentle direction, and family photos organized.
What sets me apart is my photojournalist foundation and how it shows up on a wedding day. I’m trained to anticipate moments, stay calm under pressure, and capture real emotion without staging or getting in the way. You’ll get honest, story-driven coverage plus natural portraits with gentle direction, and family photos that are organized and efficient—so you can actually enjoy your day.

Every Moment, Perfectly Captured
We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Roman Grinev and Laura Black. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, thoughtful, and beyond professional. First of all — 2,700 photos. And not just random snapshots, but beautifully curated, meaningful moments captured in a stunning photojournalistic style. Every time we scroll through the gallery, we find another detail we missed in real time — a glance, a tear, a laugh, a quiet moment we didn’t even realize was happening. It feels like we get to relive the entire day over and over. What stood out immediately was how deeply they listened. Roman and Laura really took the time to understand what mattered to us — the family dynamics, the Jewish traditions, the emotional moments we didn’t want missed. Nothing felt generic or templated. It felt personal and intentional. When it came to formal photos, they were unbelievably meticulous — fixing a veil, adjusting a boutonnière, making sure every detail was perfect — yet somehow incredibly efficient. We never felt stuck taking photos for too long, and they kept everything moving with calm confidence. It’s rare to find photographers who balance precision with speed so effortlessly. And most importantly, they truly knew how to photograph a Jewish wedding. From the ketubah signing to the chuppah, the hora, and all the candid in-between moments — every tradition was captured with understanding and care. We didn’t have to explain what was important; they already knew. These are truly the best photos we could have ever imagined. They are timeless, emotional, and breathtaking. Hiring Roman and Laura was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are endlessly grateful.
Outstanding photographer
I hired Roman Photography to capture the photos for my wedding, and they did an amazing job! Roman was extremely professional and organized throughout the entire process, which put me at ease leading up to the big day. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous - they beautifully captured all the special moments and details. Roman has a keen eye for framing and lighting, and the photos truly showcase the love and joy of our wedding day. I'm so grateful to have these stunning images to look back on and relive the memories. I highly recommend Roman Photography to any couple looking for a talented, reliable photographer to document their wedding.
Roman is Awesome!
Roman Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From our very first interaction, Roman's communication was comprehensive, timely and incredibly helpful as we planned the details of our small, backyard ceremony. We had never hired a photographer before, and he was very helpful in asking us questions and sharing information proactively. On the day of, Roman captured the event seamlessly - he knew exactly when to step back and let moments unfold naturally, and when to jump in to get the perfect shot. We're so grateful that he noticed us FaceTiming my grandmother so we have beautiful photos of her presence, even though she couldn't attend in person. The final photos are absolutely stunning, and the value for the quality of work was excellent. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Roman Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
Great photos!
Roman did a great job with my wedding photos! It was easy to reach him whenever I had questions before the wedding, and he was very accommodating when we decided we wanted to add some outdoor photos at a nearby park to the schedule as well. I'm very pleased with how the pictures turned out!
