Kind Words

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😊

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!

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.

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.

Both me and nickie would like to thank Russ for been our photographer at our wedding on 4th August. his shoot was outstanding and we are over the moon with the photos we recently received.. thank you very much Russ.. we would recommend you to anyone.

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 was amazing from the start to the end....He took control, without being pushy, whilst putting everyone at ease.
When we received our pictures we couldn't believe how amazing they were, everything we wanted.
I couldn't recommend him highly enough, fantastic service

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 �

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

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!

Massive thank you again from myself and Lewis, we honestly couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! You put us at ease from the moment we had our first engagement shoot with you - constantly making us laugh, it felt like we'd known you forever! You went above and beyond despite everything that happened and for that, we'll forever be grateful. The photos are stunning and you listened to exactly what we were looking for! Thanks again Russ 🤍🖤

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.

Russ is amazing . So glad and overjoyed you did our wedding and I can’t wait to see pics . Anybody wanting a photographer needs Russ he’s amazing xxx

Russ was absolutely amazing from the minute we booked him right up until we got our photos. Not only did he take amazing photos but he made the day more special and stress free.

Very professional and friendly service. Delighted with our wedding pictures

A photographer is a major part of your Wedding day and Russ was a huge part of our day, how often do you hear guests commenting what a great photographer he is, before they have even seen a single picture!! When you see Russ work it's easy because Russ has the gift of putting people at ease, nothing it too much trouble, he's patient and he's conscientious and always looking to get the shot. He knows how to organise a crowd and get everyone in the right place at the right time and more importantly wanting to be in the picture. He is more than a photographer, if Russ can help he will, If you cannot tie a double Windsor knot, Russ can, not sure which side your button hole goes on, Russ does. He simply knows all things wedding, inside and out. Just a great guy to have on the team. Onto the actual pictures, despite him being 6 foot plus he is very unobtrusive some the of the candid shots we got are sensational, perfectly capturing our wedding day, it was obvious that Russ had done his homework on the Wedding Venue, there was no pauses whilst he thought of what would make a good shot, he knew what would work because he has done his research prior to our Wedding. I'm not sure many photographers put in that level of research prior to the wedding. He is always happy to make sure that you get the pics you want, A picture of the bride with visiting relatives, Russ will get the shot. Kids being kids not a problem as Russ knows how to get them on his side, the results prove that. The picture composition is excellent and to be honest Russ is just a great guy to have around, he has lots of unique ideas and is always willing to work with you to get the pictures you want to capture your day. You simply cannot go wrong with Russ. Not really sure how you've got this far down the review because you really should be booking him by this point!!!

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

Lovely lovely guy, makes even the most camera shy people feel relaxed. Photos are always outstanding.

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

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

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
❤

Wow, where to begin. From the first meeting to the wedding day Russ was fantastic and very supportive throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, Russ captured some fantastic natural pictures without us even knowing he was there. He was very flexible and adaptable especially with indifferent weather on our wedding day. Based on the previews we have received so far, we are over the moon with what he captured and would recommend Russ to anyone wanting professional photography. Thank you again for sharing and capturing our special day. The Walsh’s

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.

Definitely Recommend.
Russ was brilliant from start to finish. His communication and organization was excellent. He was helping out with more than just photography on our wedding day. The photos we received were lovely and he sent us previews and the final photos so quickly. I would definitely recommend.

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

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!

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

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.
