What really matters is you
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 🙂 xread moreread less

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 😊read moreread less

Russ was amazing from the start to the end....He took control, without being pushy, whilst putting everyone at ease.

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.read moreread less

Cannot thank Russ enough for the amazing job he did at capturing our big day. Our friends and family couldn't speak highly enough of you. You fit right in throughout the day and not only acted professional but also enjoyed the day as our family friend too. You made the whole "getting our photos taken" experience a very stressfree and enjoyable one. Thankyou again we love them �read moreread less

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!read moreread less

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.read moreread less

I have worked with Russ a handful of times in the past and I cannot wait to work with him again in the near future! I can honestly say that he's made me feel very comfortable and always allowed me to give in my input, etc. I 100% recommend him to anyone; whether that being for Weddings, fashion editorial, or just a family shoot, he is your guy!read moreread less

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.read moreread less

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.read moreread less

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.read moreread less

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 enoughread moreread less

Where do I start. From first contacting Russ about photographing our wedding I knew he was different from other photographers. Most talk about money first but Russ just wanted to meet us and get to know us and what we wanted. We instantly felt he was the one for us. He is just a genuinely lovely person. On our wedding day everyone commented in how nice he was and how laid back he was. He organised everyone for photographs but he just did it with no drama and in such a fun way. He has taken lots of beautiful photographs and we are so pleased with them. Thank Russ for capturing our wedding and being part of our special day. I will certainly recommend to anyone who requires a photographer.read moreread less

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.read moreread less

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 againread moreread less
