As a Realtor it is important that the photos of my listings are presented professionally. I have been using Russ for my Real Estate Photos for the past 6 years. His photos are awesome! He is patient when he is taking the photos , doesn't rush. He is essential to my business and I strongly recommend him.

When we started the search for our wedding photographer, my now husband and I agreed that our photos would be one of the most important pieces of our wedding. After all, you spend tons of time and energy planning this one day that is over in a flash. Of course we wanted beautiful pictures capturing it all! We also realized that we would basically be spending our day with our photographer so it was important that we "clicked". Russ was the perfect fit! He was professional, creative, and so much fun to be around. He made us feel so comfortable and was super effective in managing time on our wedding day. The moments he captured on camera were simply incredible. Russ, thank you for your amazing work!

Russ was the favorite vendor at our wedding and we had a lot of great ones! My aunt and brother were taking a lot of photos and videos during our wedding and he was way more accommodating than he needed to be (we didn't need the extra photos, I just put that there to highlight his flexibility). Everyone he interacted with said he was great and we couldn't agree more. He went with the flow of the day how we wanted, took a tour of the site before shooting to make sure we had all the best light and settings, took many posed and action shots, and overall did a perfect job capturing our special day. He has competitive prices and will arrange a package that best works for you. If we lived in the area, we'd want to hang out with him and Heather (his assistant), they're that incredible. We loved everything about his work- Go hire him, he's THE BEST!

My wife and I initially had a tough time picking a wedding photographer. Choosing the best photographer for our big day was one of the most important decisions of the wedding planning process. We met with a number of different photographers and became frustrated trying to find the best choice for us. That all changed when we met Russ. At our initial meeting, we hit it off. We immediately knew that he was the one. His upbeat and relaxed personality perfectly matched his confidence and skill. His long time experience in the field along with his samples proved to us that he is a true professional with an excellent knowledge of his craft. After our meeting, my wife and I, got in the car and looked at each other, both nodded and said “we found our photographer”! With the package we choose, we were privileged to have Russ take our engagement photos. We spent pretty much an entire day at Valley Forge National Park. He took the lead the entire way yet was open to ideas--it really paid off. The photos looked fantastic! Russ turned around our photos quickly so we had them for our save the date cards. With more than 300 photos to choose from, it was a daunting, but fun, experience. Russ’ rigorous post production skill was obvious and the payoff was unbelievable. Every one of our guests complemented our photo! Next up was the big day. Russ, another photographer, and a lighting assistant all were there for the whole day. From makeup, to the church, to the reception--all the photos captured our special day. We had an amazing set of photos. We had family portraits, action shots, architectural shots, the whole lot. The best part of the day included a special gift to me from my wife. Unbeknownst to me, Russ had taken a boudoir photo shoot of my wife. I was speechless when I opened the book. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. My wife and I are planning on starting our family soon. Guess who will be there to take the maternity shots and the baby shots? With no hesitation - Russ. Without a doubt, Russ is best photographer in the business. My only regret is that we didn’t meet sooner in the wedding planning process.
