our storyWe’re the outdoor-loving husband/wife team that make VILD Photography
we are inspired by the landscape
that surrounds usIt’s the Teamwork that makes the dreamwork.
Rob was born in South Lake Tahoe. M grew up in Sweden. Somehow those two stories eventually collided in the mountains — and for more than a decade, we've been lucky enough to call the Sierra mountains our home.
We're outdoor people through and through. Give us mountains, bikes, trails, good food, somewhere new to explore, and preferably a camera somewhere nearby.
These days, home is just down the hill in Carson City, where we're raising our two boys, Noah and Liam, and building the kind of life that gives us plenty of reasons to get outside. Tahoe isn't simply somewhere we travel to photograph weddings. It's part of our story, too.
We know what the afternoon wind can do to the lake. We notice when the light starts changing behind the mountains. We know that weather can completely transform a place in twenty minutes — and that sometimes the unexpected version is even better.
So when you tell us why you've chosen Tahoe, we get it.
Maybe you grew up coming here. Maybe your family has a cabin. Maybe it's where you ski every winter, where you got engaged, or simply the place that made you stop and think, this is where we want everyone we love to be.
We want to know that story — because it becomes part of how we photograph yours.
“From our first meet and greet to the delivery of our wedding photos, Rob and M were a dream to work with. As a team, they are the perfect balance of creative and hyper-organized."

Fun fact about us:We met at a dude ranch in 2013 when Rob was cycling cross country and M was wrangling horses in Wyoming
We did 3 years long distance between Sweden & USA
We watch “The Office” way too much - it’s on repeat.
Meet “Rob”
Rob can walk into a beautiful place and immediately start noticing what the light is doing.
Before weddings, much of his photographic world revolved around landscape and the outdoors, and that perspective never really left (his landscape images are now in our art gallery Twilight and Rust). It's why place plays such a big role in VILD photographs — not simply as a backdrop, but as part of the story.
Growing up in Nashville also gave him a strong mechanical and musical streak. He's always been drawn to how things work, whether that's a camera, a bike, a piece of gear, or a song coming together one part at a time. That curiosity shows up in the way he approaches photography: thoughtful, hands-on, technically precise, and always looking for the details that make the whole thing work.
He's calm, observant, technically obsessive in all the right ways, and very good at seeing a photograph before it happens.
He's also the one who personally finishes every VILD wedding gallery, carrying that same attention to light, color, and atmosphere all the way through your final photographs.
Outside of weddings, you'll probably find him biking, hiking, deep diving into landscape or astro photography, working on something mechanical, or listening to music with the same level of attention he brings to a photograph.
I’m “M”
M notices people. She's watching the parents trying not to cry, the friend already losing it during the ceremony, the look you give each other when nobody else is paying attention — and about seventeen other things happening at the same time.
She's also usually thinking a few steps ahead.
Does someone need help? Is Grandma comfortable? Where did the bouquet go? Is that boutonnière about to fall off? Does the room need a little direction, or does everyone need five minutes to simply enjoy themselves?
That instinct for people is a huge part of VILD.
Because great wedding photography isn't only about knowing when to press the shutter. It's about understanding people well enough to know when to help, when to guide, when to make them laugh, and when to leave them completely alone.
M genuinely wants to help and serve. She wants to make the day feel easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable for everyone involved — not by taking over, but by paying attention and stepping in when she can make a difference.
Meet our VILD Team
We have finally expanded our team of photographers and could not be more proud to introduce Roman and Chris as a part of the VILD Team. Both being local to Tahoe and skilled technical photographers with landscape backgrounds and real adventure enthusiasts they are the perfect fit.
If Rob and M are unavailable or out of budget Roman and/or Chris may be available to help capture your day.

Twilight & Rust
Rob has spent decades photographing Lake Tahoe and its pristine landscape and in the beginning of 2023, we finally decided to do something with his extensive collection.
We opened Twilight and Rust in the Village Center in South Lake Tahoe, CA with our good friend and partner and are really excited to display Rob's landscape images for you to view.
