When talent meets passion!
We loved all the photos! Russel is really professional and really good at what he’s doing. We can feel that he really loves what he’s doing, he’s really passionate and dedicated to his job. He knows all the good angles, lighting, poses and knows all the good places to achieve our dream wedding/engagement photoshoot theme. He’s got a welcoming demeanor, so we feel confident and did not felt awkward and shy throughtout the photoshoot. Really relaxed and chill vibe the whole time! We are so amazed by all his photographs, very satisfied with the outcome, and we highly recommend him!

Professional and Amazing photos!
Russel was amazing to work with! Very professional and very quick to respond to email. We had hired him long in advance, and when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, he was still able to schedule us in. Our pictures turned out beautifully! Very well done with posed photos and with candid shots. Russel found the spots with the best light seamlessly and knew what moments to capture. We received our high-resolution photos pretty quickly after the wedding. Highly recommend!

Amazing photographer!
Russel is amazing! He was very professional but also personable. He worked with us having to change things due to covid and we had a ceremony in January and our reception in April. All my guest commented on how they felt like they all for included and he caught so many great moments. I can’t wait to get the photos back as I’m sure they will be amazing!

Fun and personalized!
We had our wedding during the pandemic where my parents couldn’t join due to travel restrictions, and Russel was so accommodating in ensuring my parents could still be part of the wedding with his video service. We hired Russel for engagement photo and wedding photo and video and he honestly did his magic. We had so much fun working with Russel, and the end result turned out just absolutely stunning!

Russel is THE photographer for you.
We booked Russel two years ago in hopes for our August 2020 wedding...COVID said otherwise. Russel worked with us through our multiple rescheduling and always responded quickly and was flexible. We eventually managed to seal the deal May 2021, and we are so thankful we had Russel's expertise, kindness and flexible attitude to assist our micro-wedding. The sneak peak of photos I have received are gorgeous, the quality well worth the price, and I cannot wait for the final delivery of the rest of our photos!

Excellent!
We just received our online photo gallery and we couldn't be more happy with how our pictures turned out! Russel has a flair for making people at ease and knows when to take the perfect shot. He went over and beyond! He was reliable, responded promptly, and was very accommodating to our ideas. We have no regrets and if given the chance to do our wedding over, we will choose him again!

Had a fantastic experience working with Russel!
It was such a great pleasure working with Russel and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot our wedding. It's all the little details and the passion and care he has for his job and his clients that really differentiates his service from others. My wife and I felt valued and at the end of the special day, we had lots of fun (which is very important). He went above and beyond making sure he got the shots he wanted while ensuring we are enjoying ourselves.
We had an elopement style wedding (just the 2 of us) during the pandemic and Russel took good care of us so we can have a stress free wedding as much as possible. The communication with our photographer before, during and after the wedding was superb!
We can't wait to see our photos!

Amazing photographer with lovely photos
This photographer has an amazing eye and works with the setting to make amazing pictures. I would highly recommend his services. He even brought an assistant when he felt it was necessary and didn't charge extra for the service. Extremely understanding and very professional. It was a pleasure working with Russel. We did a short video of the ceremony and it turned out really well.
