My name is Russ and I'm a creative, documentary wedding photographer based in Somerset. I've been shooting weddings all over the UK since 2009.

MY APPROACH

I aim to capture real moments without influencing them so I don’t interrupt and I don’t tell anyone what to do. It’s your wedding and there are no rules about which photos you should or shouldn’t have. If you don’t want a staged photo of you signing the register, don’t have one! So much happens at weddings there’s really no need to set anything up.

I do encourage couples to spend a short time away from everyone for a few relaxed portraits but again, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. I'm also more than happy to shoot a handful of group photos, but for most of the day I’ll be looking for the laughter, the tears, the hugs and the love.

I really try to blend in and have fun with everyone whist I work because we find that if people are relaxed around me, they tend not to notice the camera. People often say it was just like having an extra guest and I believe that’s the key to good documentary wedding photography. Not only to be completely immersed in the day but also to be in tune with the energy of it as every wedding is unique.

PACKAGES

I offer coverage of between 6 and 10 hours. You don't need to commit to a package when you book, they are just to give you a general idea of cost. You can decide exactly how much coverage you'd like at any point before the day. Images are delivered digitally on a secure online gallery with unlimited downloads. Albums are also available.
