"We have been using Rob Coggin Photography exclusively at Circles Waterfront Restaurant (www.CirclesWaterfront.com) for over 5 years now. Rob shoots videos & stills for all of our special events. Aside from providing us with stunning work, Rob is prompt, pleasant, and a consummate professional. 5-stars - we'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation!"

"I have used Rob to be my Director of Photography on four separate [film] projects to date for my company, Tin Sky Media. Very professional, personable and has an amazing eye to capture exactly what you are looking to get. 

 

I highly recommend him for all your video and photo needs!"

 "Rob did an amazing job with our family photos. He understood exactly what my vision was. He exceeded it! His experience and professionalism makes you relax and just have fun! We had our dogs in the photos and he really took the time to plan and capture our dogs' personalities through pictures. I highly recommend Rob!"

Angela A. - Family & Dogs Photos, Downtown Tampa


"Rob is absolutely amazing! His creative process is out of this world! I would work with him again in a heartbeat, it's too bad he's so far away from me now. Working with him was by far one of my best experiences." Candida Valentina, professional model - Atlanta, GA 


"Rob was great to work with. We had many changes throughout the process of getting the photos taken and he accommodated all of our needs. He did a great job with the corporate head shots we needed and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Rob for any of your photography needs."  Sarah H. - Digital Media Solutions, Corporate Photo Shoot

 


"Rob and his assistant ended up coming to stay right in our hotel block, and fit right in with our family! They were extremely professional, but at the same time personable and easy to talk to. From the initial time of getting ready, to the last dance of the night, they captured EVERY moment. Literally. They were prepared and had scoped out where to take some amazing pictures. Within a few days of everything, we had some preview shots to look at. I was blown away. I would highly recommend Rob Coggin for anyone who wants amazing shots from amazing people."  Matt and Sarah, Naples, FL (Wedding Shoot)


"Robert is one of the most dedicated photographers I've seen. His love and passion for photography reflects on his work. He did an awesome photo shoot for our band! Very creative and great to work with as a person. Keep up the good work Rob!"  Destiny Covault, of local Tampa band Red Calling (Band photo op)

 


"A great shoot.  Really enjoyed the communication and extra input regarding shoot. It helped make for a better experience and result. Finished photos are done faster than I have ever experienced.  A professional, creative, inspiring shoot. A cut above the rest!"  Jennifer - Professional Model, Fine Art Shoot

 


"What an awesome experience it was working with Rob on a short music video project for one of my songs entitled, 'A Ghost Unknown'. Absolutely professional production and direction, no time wasted, and amazing final results. We will certainly be working together again in the future! I can't wait!"  Erik Atkins - "A Ghost Unknown Music Video"

 


 "Excellent experience. Highly recommend! Photo's are amazing!"  Megan Thomas - Southern Comfort Promotional Event Photo shoots (various over a 2 year period)

 


"Rob was the cinematographer for a short film that I assisted in producing. His work ethic revealed itself as the filming became more complicated throughout the day. Doing anything to "get the shot" paid off being that the film was awarded Best Cinematography in the short-film category at the Innovative Film Festival in Tampa last month."  Jeremy Westrate - Coproducer and Editor for the Short Film "Agrizoophobia"

 


"Rob and his assistant made our engagement photography easy and FUN. Well before the shoot, they planned out their vision for the shots and got our input on what we did and didn't want. They were structured and organized but wanted to make sure we got what we were looking for. Because of that, my fiancée and I were able to relax on the day of the shoot and let them take the lead. They explained what kind of shot they were going for each time and just let us trust them. Throughout the shoot, they had a positive attitude and a good sense of humor while still maintaining the professionalism needed to get great photos.  Not long after the shoot they sent us some demos of the photos and then gave us a disk with all of them in a very reasonable turnaround of time and effective editing that gave each photo just the right touch. We had a great time with Rob and we are very happy with the results. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends!"  Kristin Horrocks and Ryan Joseph, Tampa FL (Engagement Shoot)


"Rob did a photoshoot with my new puppy and I at my home and around Ybor City, FL. He was completely professional, extremely creative, and fun to work with at all times. More importantly, though, the results were incredible and well beyond expectation. I had recently overcome some very difficult obstacles in my life, and moving into a new home with a new puppy was the culmination of breaking through the barriers. Rob somehow managed to capture all of this perfectly, resulting in some very emotional photographs that make me tear up when I see them to this day.

 

I've kept up with Rob and watched his work progress, and I can honestly say that he has "the eye". Any type of shoot he does just seems to turn out magical. I highly recommend Mr. Coggin for any type of photography needs you might have, you will not regret it."

Scott Keene ("Man and his dog" photo shoot)

 


"Amazing photographer and person. He did my beach wedding and everything turned out so perfectly. My entire family also loved him and he just fit in perfectly. I didn't want super formal pictures and Rob got all the right shots without that awkward falseness that happens during the photo part of most weddings! I would recommend him for anyone's photo needs and plan to use again for other big life events when the time comes!" Samantha O. - Beach Wedding

 


"It was amazing to work with Rob, he is definitely very professional and he was very prepared for this shoot. I'm looking forward to working with him again!"  Vanessa G. - Fine Art & Professional Modeling Shoots

 


"Robert did our daughter's 1 year old photo session. Amazing work! Extremely professional and fast turnaround."  Erik A. - Family Portraiture


"We had a great time with Rob! Easy to talk to and work with.  If we didn't know what to do for a pose he would give us pointers.  He also used his creativity and imagination as a guideline for interesting backdrops and poses that I would never even think of.  He had a guideline which featured a handful of places we would hit for all of his shoot ideas.  I will recommend him to all of my friends and family, for he did amazing work!"  Abby O. - Engagement Shoot

 


"Rob was very pleasant to work with. He is a great photographer and very reasonable with his prices. He even offered to take some evening pictures which was not in our original understanding. Pictures turned out great and I would definitely reach out to him next time I'm in Florida. :)"  Diana H. - Family Photos


"Rob was extremely flexible when my plans were shifted around. He was so easy to communicate with and was quick to reply to any questions or concerns. He went above and beyond the day of the shoot to get in early, take test shots, and find a good hiding spot for my surprise engagement. After he caught the moment with some really great shots, he guided us around the venue and we took some beautiful photos both inside and outside of the theater. Within a day Rob had some digital sample photos to share with friends and family, and within a week he had a dropbox link that had our edited photos in web resolution and full size resolution. Rob's editing was top notch and he really captured the warm lighting of the theater. He also did an amazing job editing our names and wedding date onto the theater marquee for our Save the Date announcement. I highly recommend Rob, he is professional, kind and fun!"   Taylor C. - Engagement Photoshoot, Tampa Theater


"Love the pics, he showed up even with weather being terrible, and took some awesome pics!!!"  Rhonda M. - One year old photo shoot

 


"An absolute pleasure to work with. Fun, and full of excellent ideas. We got to see the finished product in a day and received our copies in less than a week. We highly recommend Robert and we will definitely use his services again for our future photography needs."  Natalie McGriffen and Steve Ramos, Tampa, FL (Maternity Shoot) 


"Had the pleasure of Rob doing some photos of me recently and I was extremely impressed. He was very professional, great to work with. The pictures came out fantastic and got back to me sooner than I expected ! I will definitely be recommending him to people who are looking for a photographer and look forward to using him again for any picture needs I have in the future." Jenny Thomas, Tampa, FL (General Photo shoot, headshots)


"I wanted to have some action photos of my son play football for his last year in little league. I asked around and Rob was referred to me by a friend.  I absolutely loved his work. I got a sample photo within a day and it was amazing. Rob has a way with capturing the perfect shot and a creative eye. Can’t say enough about the quality of work Rob produces.  I will be using him soon for my daughter’s senior pictures."  Wendy Cecere, Tampa, FL (Youth Sports Photography) 

 


"My family had the most beautiful captures by Rob. It's the first time we used him and they were so gorgeous. We picked the place. He picked the areas and lighting that would work best. We will definitely be using him again. And pricing was reasonable."  Jen O. - Family Christmas Photos

 


"I'm so happy you were recommended to do our photo shoot for our vow renewal. You were so flexible and understanding with all of the requests and changes. I absolutely love my pictures. I will definitely keep you in mind for future photos. Thank you so much!" Becky & Todd King, Winter Haven, FL (Wedding Vow Renewal Shoot)


"Rob did an excellent job with all my wedding and reception photos. The photos were vivid and I loved the candid shots he caught. Everyone thinks they are great... including me. He was there early and left late and really listens to what you are wanting. I recommend him to everyone. AWESOME JOB ROB!!!"  Michelle B. - Wedding Photography Shoot
