I'm Robert, a wedding photographer and filmmaker based in Benicia, a small bayside town nestled between San Francisco and Napa in Northern California. As a husband and father of two boys, I know how quickly meaningful moments become cherished memories, and I consider it a privilege to preserve them for others. I document weddings with a focus on timeless imagery and authentic storytelling.
Bontemps, meaning “good times” in French, is my grandmother’s maiden name. It reflects the heart of my work — capturing the beauty, emotion, and timelessness of your wedding day.
My approach is calm and unobtrusive, allowing real moments to unfold naturally while gently guiding when needed. From intimate elopements to full wedding celebrations, I focus on creating imagery that feels genuine, elegant, and enduring.
