Hey, I’m Russell, husband, dad, and photographer based in Melbourne’s west.

I love being curious and finding the little in-between moments that often go unnoticed. For me, it’s all about family, fun, and soaking up every second of this wild ride we call life.

Let’s capture it together!

Little Reminders Why I Do This

  • A bride and groom smiling through a wooden barn door, dressed in wedding attire.

    Bec & Lee

    Russell made our wedding day so special. From the start he was available at anytime to discuss ideas for how the day was going to go and he had great suggestions as well to fit the vibe we were going for. He tailored the day exactly how we wanted and captured it perfectly. From the intimate couple photos, to hilarious in the moment photos. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Afterwards the photos were delivered quickly and had full access to them all. Every photo we will cherish forever.

    We are beyond grateful to have had Russell as our wedding photographer! From our pre-wedding shoot to the actual wedding day, he made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel so natural and easy — especially for two people who don’t usually feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    Russell has a true gift for capturing genuine moments without making anything feel forced or overly posed. He made us laugh, helped us relax, and somehow turned our nervous energy into beautiful, timeless photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Even during the more intimate and emotional moments, he was respectful, unobtrusive, and still managed to capture all the magic.

    What really stood out was how he embraced who we are — awkwardness and all — and made it work for us rather than against us. The result? Stunning, heartfelt photographs that feel so authentically “us.”

    Thank you, Russell, for not only delivering incredible photos, but for making the entire experience so enjoyable and memorable. You’ve truly given us a gift we’ll treasure forever.

Russell’s unique and down-to-earth talent, professionalism and dedication captured all the important moments that made our special day amazing with our family and friends. Thanks so much Russell for giving us our beautiful day in candid and natural pictures that will forever remind us of our love for each other. We highly recommend Russell for anyone looking for a talented & reliable photographer to capture life’s special moments. Thanks again Russell.tion goes here

    We recently had Russell photograph our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results! Not only was Russell professional and attentive prior to the big day, he captured so many fun/perfect memories on the day.
    Russell's communication is fantastic (even when mine was not!) and the quick turn around time on the final images was the cherry on top! Within 3 weeks of our wedding we'd already hung a beautiful canvas from the day.
    We've agreed that we'd love to work with Russell in the future, and will be booking him for family photos in the coming months.

    “We met Russell when he was shooting at multiple dog-related events we were at and since then have had multiple photoshoots with Russell including Maternity shoots and Pet photography, Russell is always so accommodating and amazing at seeing and making a vision come to life. He is so patient and talented in getting the perfect shot, could not recommend Russell more”

    Hazel & Scott

    When planning our wedding, it was really important to us that the our photo’s would capture the authentic feel of the day.  We were looking for candid moments and that is exactly what Russell delivered. From the great communication leading up to the day, the unobtrusive shots and the text message with some previews before our night had even finished, we can’t fault his work. In stressful time, he was incredibly easy to deal with.  The quality of his work is fabulous, and we would recommend him to anyone. He engaged with our guests, accommodated the “can you please take a quick picture of..” requests, and was a pleasure to share the day with. Russell’s photos captured moments of joy, family, love and friendship.  We can’t thank him enough.
