Philadelphia & destination wedding photographer
Photos that feel
like your wedding
actually felt.
Especially good with people who hate having their photo taken — I make them forget the camera's there, then hand the day back exactly how it felt.

Selected work
Beautiful when it should be. Funny when it wants to be. Never stiff.
Hate having
your picture
taken?
Good — you're exactly who I want to photograph. You don't need to know what to do with your hands. That's my problem.

the venue.
I've probably shot it.
Where the light lands at five o'clock. How long portraits actually take. What to do when it rains. Real, first-hand knowledge — not a stock gallery.

Meet Russ
28 years of
making people
relax.
I work fast, I stay out of your way, and I catch the stuff you didn't notice. Most couples end up describing me less like a vendor and more like a friend they happened to hand a camera. First wedding: 1998 — not a footnote, the headline.
