Offering Bespoke PHOTO and VIDEO Collections tailored to your style
We believe in fun, play, emotion, but also CONNECTION, and LOVE, soft intimacy, defiant JOY, and really all of the tingly oxytocin feels.
A wedding day is ordered chaos — fast, emotional, layered, and complex. It's what we love.
Wedding photography that's editorial and documentary. Formal and wild. Quiet and energetic.
We seamlessly blend these approaches so your images feel elevated yet real — beautifully composed, emotionally honest, and unmistakably you. We create space for genuine moments while ensuring you look refined and confident throughout.
Richly textured, vibrant, emotive wedding photography - capturing authentic emotion and experience
Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning — You can truly feel the love and happiness in every shot.
What sets Russ apart is his dedication to his craft and his clients. This level of commitment is unmatched and really shows how much he cares about delivering the best possible results.
Throughout the planning process and on our wedding day, Russ was completely professional and worked seamlessly with all our other vendors. He captured all the moments that mattered most to us, and his style beautifully reflects the emotion of the day.
As an added bonus, he delivered our photos quickly and his editing work is fantastic. We cannot recommend Russ highly enough — if you want a photographer who truly goes the extra mile and delivers incredible results, he's your guy!"
"Russ is absolutely incredible and was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding process!
She photographed our wedding at Twenty Mile House in Graeagle, CA this past July.
She is truly an artist in her work as a photographer.
As a family, we sat down together to look through all the pictures and we found ourselves with tears of joy welling up in our eyes. Her pictures allowed us to re-live the moments and bring back so many good memories. She also captured so many moments that we weren't able to see (guests laughter during speeches, warm embraces between family and friends, hilarious dance moves, and the emotion in everyone's faces during the ceremony.) The quality of her photography is true to color and preserves these special moments in a timeless way.
"Alex was able to capture so many emotional moments of love, laughter and tears and all the activity during the celebration.
From the very start, Russ made us feel completely at ease.
We hired Russ for both our engagement and wedding photography, and he was absolutely phenomenal to work with. I first came across his work while browsing venue galleries and was immediately drawn to how vibrant, natural, and full of life his photos looked.
He has an incredible ability to bring out your best angles and most authentic selves — we felt confident, relaxed, and honestly had a ton of fun during every shoot. Our family and friends can’t stop raving about them either. If you’re considering working with Russ: do it. You won’t regret it
"The results blew us away. These are hands-down the best photos we’ve ever had of ourselves — we’ll cherish them forever.
He found a way to get AMAZING shots only using a very short amount of my time (I was one of those bratty brides that didn't want to deal with pictures and just wanted to party :) ) and he was so kind and so supportive of me on the day. I felt bad because I really gave him a short window to succeed and he went ABOVE AND BEYOND. The end result is gorgeous- feel free to check them out on his website :). I had so many guests saying how he and his assistant were everywhere, capturing every moment while simply blending in and making everything seem so effortless. And even better- HE'S FUNNY! He makes the group photos seem like a piece of cake and his humor makes the anti-pose people such as myself and my husband feel at ease during our couple shoots. He really is the best and such a support to any bride on their special day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"
"The absolute best. Not only was he super professional and easy going throughout the wedding planning process he was INCREDIBLE on the day of the wedding
