Look no further - you have found your wedding photographer in Russ. It's hard to know even where to start with him. He's a superstar, a magic-maker, a coordinator, an instant friend, and perhaps a generational talent.

Yes, the photos he took of us were perfect. Yes, he captured the joy we felt in a way that felt raw and real. Yes, he took engagement photos of us in 95-degree weather and did it with a smile on his face. But I'm not recommending Russ for any of those reasons. I'm recommending Russ because he is the person that you want running the show on the most important day of your life. Russ brings joy to the process. He was never too serious, never moody, never negative.

And there were plenty of reasons to be. Just as we started portraits the day of the wedding, it began downpouring. I'm not talking like a little bit of rain. I'm talking total, torrential, 100-year flood level rain and loud cracks of thunder. Russ ran through the rain with us, and changed our entire portrait plan at the last minute. He captured us and our group at City Hall and you literally cannot tell that it's raining. He laid down in puddles to shoot us. He used the wind to make a perfect portrait with my cathedral veil flowing. His assistant dove into our trolley to catch my veil from falling in a puddle. And Russ never let any sort of stress show. It was amazing.

And importantly, Russ made us and our family feel so supported. He used just the right amount of push to get everyone to listen on the day of. And he worked with some complicated family dynamics that he never once made us feel were anything less than normal.

If you are looking for pictures that are joyful and bright, you have found your person. If you're looking for photos that feel just like you remember the moment, you have found your person. If you're looking for fair prices and an incredible value, you have found your person. And if you're looking to spend a day with the kindest, most genuine vendor in Philadelphia, you have found your person. Stop looking.

I am modest and have an 'a type' personality. Weddings are chaotic. Russ from the start was able to handle the chaos and family dynamics extremely well. He attempted every shot and the ones he took were so stunning. I am in awe of his ability to share it with brides and grooms! Hope everyone has a great wedding and finds their perfect memories, as we did with Russ's photos.

Wow, Russ couldn't have done a better job knocking out family portraits and doing it ahead of schedule! Russ is excellent at pivoting as needed while still capturing stunning photos. We've only seen a few proofs, but they captured the day artfully. He takes initiative to find photogenic spots but takes your ideas in stride! Russ was easy to work with and made us smile during stressful moments. Thanks so much!
