Kind Words

Russ is amazing! I came across his services using Hitched and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He was attentive to every aspect of the day. He was very personable, friendly, helpful, and honestly felt like he was another friend attending the wedding. He fit in so nicely to the day, blended into the background to take the best candid pictures and also directed so professionally and appropriately when the group photos were ready to be taken. As much as we hired Russ to be the photographer, he was just so helpful in every aspect. I'd forget my bouquet, he'd run and get it. I needed wipes for my daughter, he'd grab them. If I didn't know what time we were cutting the cake, he'd check. He went above and beyond his responsibilities and he did everything with the biggest smile on his face. He made the whole day run smoothly. Not only that, and the reason for hiring, the pictures are better than we ever could have imagined. He captured so much emotion and love! I have spent a vast amount of time just sitting and staring at them since the moment he sent them (which he did super fast!). I really couldn't recommend Russ enough! Thank you for helping us have the most magical day!

Well, what can we say about Russ. On meeting him, we soon realised he was the right choice for us! Russ accommodated the most precious request of secretly following my wife to the cemetery in her wedding car so she could see her mum on our special day & capture that forever (all kept a secret from her). Without question this wasn't an issue, for that we are eternally greatful. Russ 'captured our day' and the most special moments, something we will treasure forever! All of our guests have and still comment on how great Russ was throughout the day, very friendly and patient even when I forgot to compile the photo list for him! Thank you Russ! The tasters we have received are so very special, especially the shot of our precious Mias ashes (our late dog) which we knew nothing about until we got them back!! Thank you again

AMAZING EXPERIENCE 😃We cannot thank Russ enough for being so brilliant during both our shoots. He made me feel so comfortable and confident with my bump... and was also absolutely amazing with Isabelle in her newborn shoot:) highly recommend him!! Even down to the way he handled Isabelle... he was very calm and so patient. Thankyou so so much😊

I want to write this recommendation on behalf of my family, I would recommend Russ for his willingness to get to know us, but not only us our family too. through his work you can tell from the moment you got talking the beautiful moments he captures are through knowing you, every woman’s dream is to have a photo tell a powerful story a meaningful one, he was very sympathetic about a loss of a very close family member and was eager to capture the little things we did on our wedding day for this passed family member. Basically being truthfully honest just wanted to give us the most creative and beautiful service. He was patient, a great listener and also gave me and my family great advice. I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you Russ. It means a lot to us that our day was important to you as well as us.

Russ photographed our wedding in May 2025 and was absolutely fantastic from the moment he arrived right through to the end of the night. Throughout the day, everyone commented on how amazing he was—he made everyone feel relaxed and at ease when it came to capturing the photos.He was incredibly skilled at positioning people and organizing groups to ensure the best shots, all while remaining super friendly and professional.We had a pre-wedding discussion about the style of photography we liked, and he absolutely nailed it. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He captured some amazing candid moments, as well as special photos of our loved ones.We couldn’t recommend Russ highly enough to anyone looking for a photographer. He’s not only a lovely person but also exceptionally talented and knowledgeable about what works best for great photos.Thank you again for capturing our special dayKaty & Dan

Russ is brilliant! I came to him when I entered the L'Oreal colour trophy (hairdressing competition) and I got through, which wouldn't have been possible without Russ and all his help!!! Very professional, has alot of experience and clearly knows his stuff. He did exactly what I'd hoped for and more, very patient and even gave suggestions on outfits etc. Couldn't be happier with the service and would definitely recommend him! Thanks Russ, will definitely be coming back 🙂

Stunning photos! His shoot was outstanding and we would recommend you to anyone.

Thankyou so much Russ for capturing our day so perfectly for us, you was amazing from start to finish! Myself and Ben could not be happier with the videos, and have watched them so many times already!!
Highly recommended if anyone is looking for a photographer/ videographer for their day
❤

Russ was the first person we considered when choosing a photographer and honestly couldn't be happier, he was incredibly professional throughout the big day, taking control without being overbearing, putting everyone at ease and ultimately taking some amazing photographs, we couldn't recommend him highly enough

From the prep beforehand and throughout the actual day Russ was professional and guided us with expertise and humour. The photos are more than I could have imagined and gave me the insight into the arrivals and prep that I had been unable to experience on the day. I have laughed and cried my way through the slideshow of all photos and am looking forward to reliving the best day of my life over and over again.

Russ is genuinely the most amazing photographer or work with......

We were quite specific in our requirements as we both don't like lots of photos. Russ made it extra special with lots of natural shots that we both agree look amazing. Even out guests commented on how amazing the photographer was and how he made them feel really comfortable.

From start to finish he made our day so special and we would highly recommend him 🙂 x

What a guy. If your looking for a well priced, genuine and talented photographer who works completely around your needs and preferences, book Russ. Not only did he do a brilliant job of mixing in well with our guests and not stepping on toes when capturing moments, he also got on really well with our guests. More importantly, he took my specific requests during the bridezilla phase all in good humour and I would highly highly recommend him.

We chose Russ as our wedding photographer for late October last year. Upon meeting him we discovered just how enthusiastic and knowledgeable he is and were able to discuss exactly what we wanted capturing on our big day. Russ even kindly offered to do an engagement shoot for us to get an idea of the area around our venue. Both me and my husband are quite camera shy, but Russ put us at ease right away and was really easy to get on with. Unfortunately on the big day it was chucking it down, but Russ didn't let it ruin the photos. He skillfully managed to get some under a canopy that looked as though we were surrounded by greenery and he even managed to take some fantastic sparkler pictures on the night. He directed our family and friends perfectly and everybody thought he was fantastic on the day. It felt like we had a two for one photographer and wedding coordinator. Sadly there was a bit of confusion getting all the photos I wanted sent to me, but after the busy Christmas period, Russ was able to sort things out and rectify the problem. The photos we recieved are truly stunning and we love the fact that Russ was able to capture those 'in the moment' shots, without us even being aware. Overall, Russ is a great guy who knows exactly what he is doing and will capture your big day perfectly.

Russ , shot our wedding on 2nd of July in Leeds.. I have known Russ for 10 years and he was my go to guy as I have seen his work .... he did an outstanding job and to be honest he felt like one of the guests..... all of our guests commented on what a great guy he is .... The photos were absolutely amazing and we could not be happier ... if you need a wedding photographer , who pays attention to every detail and is a really great bloke , do not hesitate to give Russ a call, i guarantee that you will not regret it !!!!

just want to say from start to finish how amazing Russell is , he made us feel comfortable made us laugh with his humour but most importantly was like having a family member with us at the wedding. thank you so so much for making our day so easy! we can't wait to see our photos now love gina and marc x

We chose Capture the Day for our wedding and we are so pleased that we did. Russ suggested that we visit the venue together beforehand so he could get a feel for the place and have prior knowledge of the best places for the range of different photos, so that it was clear on the actual day. This made us feel more relaxed on the day itself as we were all familiar with the building and gardens. Russ is a complete professional but also absolutely lovely and brought a sense of fun and humour to the day which was extremely welcomed and put us both at ease. Russ was with us from the start of the day to the very end, having even offered to provide a photo booth style area for our evening guests. I cannot recommend him highly enough and we were so impressed with the end result that we have since booked him for more family events to capture those precious moments.

I can’t thank you enough for being our photographer and taking all the pics so we can relive our day through your pictures. Was great to have some alone time with Laura when you took us to have some pictures made. We can’t wait to see just how amazing your pics are. Laura and I can’t thank you enough for being our photographer and ‘Capturing the Day’. Thank you Russ

What can I say? Russ at Capture The Day Photography is truly lovely. He photographed my daughters wedding on Saturday and he was amazing. He put everybody at ease and was able to get the most camera shy in a photo. Russ made sure that my daughter and son in law had the most perfect time. Every guest at the wedding could not praise him enough. Definitely highly recommended. Thank you 😊

Russ was the first person i thought of to capture our wedding. I've had the pleasure of knowing him for years and having shots done by him previously and he did not disappoint for our wedding, so professional, friendly and captures the most beautiful timeline of the day. I guarantee you will spend hours every day looking back at the amazing pictures!

how do I start how do I review perfection Russ is just that he is a true gentleman he is remarkably personable and professional it was like having a member of the family there he made my daughter and her husband feel so special he read every moment and turned any worry any of us had into a positive he was not just the photographer he was a confidant he was organized he was like a guest you never noticed as he clicked away all day Russ you were truly amazing I would recommend Russ to everyone and anyone I can Russ you are simply the best we will never forget what you have done for our family the way you captured the day truly blessed we found you.

Russ was fantastic from beginning to end, really easy to talk to about what you need and want from your photos. Amazing on the day he's like having a friend there, he was really fun and helpful as he's so experienced with how the day runs. We absolutely love our photos!

Beautiful pictures that truly captured the spirit of our special day. Great work by Russ.

Amazing experience with Russ. Very professional AND personable. Guests loved him. The quality of the photos were amazing. Candid photos just like we asked for and captured beautiful moments. Extremely happy with it!

Russ helped us celebrate our special day 21.06.2024. He was getting involved with all our friends and family ensuring they were having the most amazing day like us! We asked Russ to take our chosen photos but also capture off guard pictures of us and our guests and that he did, there is some lovely but also funny pictures in our collection which is just what we wanted! I cannot recommend Russ enough, his warmth and energy, as well as his passion to capture our day through photos is just simply amazing! Amy & Charlie x

Russ was fantastic start to finish. Made us and all our guests feel so at ease and quite often didn't even notice he was there capturing those natural unfiltered shots we love. We have amazing pictures to remember our day we can't thank you enough. Would highly recommend Russ to anyone.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further than Russ and Capture the Day Photography. We decided to use Russ for our own wedding in April 2019 after a friend had recommended him. We asked Russ for a meeting to discuss questions we had and to get an idea of his personality and style of wedding shoot as we thought it important to have our big day captured by someone we felt comfortable in the company of. He set both our minds at rest straight away and even gave us some ideas to think about which we had not even considered. During the day he helped calm nerves, kept us on time and blended in when he needed to. We could not have asked for a more professional and likeable person to cover the most important day of our lives. We are so happy with the photos we received and would recommend him to anyone. For a photographer with experience, professionalism and class, Russ is your man. He's a great bloke and a true gent to boot. Thanks again Russ at Capture the Day Photography! It would not have been the same without you.

We had Russ as our videographer at our wedding to capture all the precious moments of the day. On the day, he made everyone feel so comfortable and he is so so friendly! We just had our videos back and wow they are absolutely amazing, not to mention everyone was in tears (happy tears) watching the videos! I’m so glad I had Russ there to capture every single moment. As a bride, I was so nervous on the day so I can’t remember much from the day, I just knew it was amazing! But having the videos to look back on is just such a great idea. Love all the highlights of the day, ceremony and speeches! If you are getting married or having an event, I would 100% recommend Russ as your photographer/videographer!

Russ did both our engagement and wedding photos and they're absolutely stunning! We couldn't have asked for any better, thank you so much!

Unbelievably helpful and professional- We couldn’t have organised our day without Russ. He has a wealth of knowledge and contacts and goes the extra mile. That’s before he’s even taken a single photo!! He’s photos are stunning and captured every little moment. He also delivered them in an elegant package and a multitude of choices for both web and print. He was punctual, creative, friendly and so flexible for the entire day. We cannot recommend him highly enough
