Voted “Best Wedding Photographer” 2007 by readers of Electric City Magazine Scranton, PA. Shooting under the slogan “Real Photos for Real People,” since 1988, the worldly Rob Lettieri doesn’t merely take pictures of weddings but approaches the big day with a photojournalist’s sensibility that has resulted in the compilation of  “award winning elegant books” treasured by his clients. Rob has formerly won best photographer, best visual artist and best web site in previous years.

Rob Lettieri, Jr. Shooting Talent. He’s either photographed your wedding or that of someone you know, but Rob Lettieri’s photos stretch far beyond commercialism into that realm oft-referred to as fine art. Fine means anything but stuffy, however. “My images are mostly of people,” the photographer has written. “Motion and humor are often part of my point of view … If I make people laugh then I have succeeded.” When Rob isn’t enjoying the more temperate weather of Santa Barbara, California, he can often be spotted around the region’s nightclubs, shooting energetically away at his favorite original musicians. He’s a tireless supporter of the area’s emerging and established talent, nurturing original artistic expression at his by-invitation-only Tuesdays on the Ridge salon events and monthly photography exhibition openings. NEPA has no shortage of skilled photographers from which to choose, but you chose Rob Lettieri as the best. Maybe now he’ll change that WVIA-FM advertisement touting his award for Best Website (www.lettieriphoto.com) in e.c.’s 2000 Best of NEPA readers poll. -gp
