Russell Stafford Photography

I stumbled across Russell Stafford Photography on Instagram and was immediately drawn in. Photography is such an important part of your wedding day, it's the one of the things that you will consistently look back on. I cannot recommend Russell and his team enough. Their professionalism on the day was outstanding. The photos are beautiful, I want to print all of them and plaster it on our wall. A lovely reminder of parts I missed on the day.Thank you soooo much Russell & team!

We were immediately sold with Russell well and truly before my husband and I got engaged. We had seen his amazing work from some of our friends weddings and we were completely blown away. We got the opportunity to see him in action during those other events and it was very apparent to us that he'd be wonderful to work with. We weren't wrong. He was the first vendor we booked in after the reception venue and from there he made the experience so smooth, easy and was extremely helpful with suggesting locations for our engagement and wedding shoot. He made us feel very comfortable and his charisma, direction and positivity just made for such an enjoyable shoot every time. The quality of the photos was beautiful, the colours, the style, the angles - we love everything about the photos he's taken for us. Russell is someone who takes his craft seriously, and recognises that no two couples are the same, and no two wedding shoots are either. He is so easygoing and friendly, its hard not to immediately feel very comfortable around him and that's reflected in the way that our photos have come out. It's very uniquely us.

Russell was the best choice we made for our wedding - hands down. Kind, caring, reliable, professional. He not only calmed us in the lead up to the big day but during the wedding could not have been more helpful and fun. And the photos are more than my greatest vision and expectation. Russell, thank you so much! To everyone else, if you are still reading this review you should stop and be booking Russell for your wedding now!! Molly and Patrick xx

Russell was the first vendor we booked for our wedding. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to work with Russell because of his remarkable ability to capture not only beautiful and clean photos but also the genuine emotions of people. Russell's photography goes beyond mere aesthetics; he has a keen eye for capturing the true essence of the moment.Throughout the entire process, Russell displayed professionalism, reliability, and a genuine passion for his craft. His attention to detail and commitment to capturing the most meaningful moments was truly remarkable.When we received our sneak peek photos it was immediately evident that we had made the right choice. He exceeded our expectations, and we will cherish our photos for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend Russell to anyone in search of an outstanding photographer.Thank you Russell :)

We knew that photography would be one of the top things we wanted to invest in for our wedding, and Russell's work went above and beyond our expectations. He was one of the very first vendors we booked and he assisted us in our wedding planning process from beginning to end - including suggesting recommended suppliers, timing and other factors to consider on the big day.On the day Russell was an absolute weapon; being everywhere all at once and he went out of his way to help when things did not go to plan (as they often do in a wedding!). Although he was just a team on 1 on the day, the quality and quantity of photos he produced would make you think otherwise.We were so lucky to have Russell be our wedding photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have the best time on their wedding day and for absolutely beautiful photos to look back on. Thank you Russell and team!

When considering who we wanted as our wedding photographer, my wife Ellie knew right away who would meet our brief: Russell.Can I say, Russell was an absolute delight to work with. From our pre wedding shoot to our big day, he made the day feel very calm and natural to the point, you did not notice him or his crew present. The photos Russell produced were exceptional and were hand delivered to us personally in what I considered a very fast turn around. Thank you so much from the bottoms of our hearts for capturing such beautiful and treasured moments - which we will look back with fond memories. Especially the little moments with our loved ones. We are absolutely delighted with our photos! I highly recommend Russell and his team. Thanks again mate!

Russel photographed our wedding at Gunners Barracks, and I'm so glad we decided to go with him. Before the day, Russel was communicative and confident. He was even able to accomodate a date change late in the process, at some inconvenience to him.On the day, Russel was a calming and confidence inspiring presence, who was attentive to our needs. My wife was very nervous, and at one point was completely over doing group photos- Russel picked up on this and was more than happy to wrap up the group shots on the spot.Post wedding, it did take a while for the photos to arrive, but given the late notice date change, this is totally understandable and the photos were delivered when we were told they would beThe photos themselves are wonderful. Russel has a phenomenal eye and a fine touch for editing. I'm a bit picky with photos, and I find that wedding photos can often be overexposed, but Russel's images are beautiful; even exposure, wonderful color and a true eye for the 'decisive moment'.Our photos were sent to us in a lovely box, with high-quality prints and a (very beautiful?!) USB with the digital files. Overall, when we planned our wedding, a good photographer was a priority for us, and Russel delivered in spades. I would happily recommend him to anyone.

Russell and the team were such an amazing group of people. They were all super friendly, i loved the vibes they gave off not just towards us but each of their team members. It showed that they were having just as much fun as we were which made the day even more special :)The photos turn out beautifully and the print outs we received were given in such a lovely way.Seriously wishing you and the team all the best and I'll definitely be recommending you guys even though you probably don't need anymore since our 'first look' video became viral hahaha

Russell did such an awesome job of shooting our wedding! We did our 'first look' before the ceremony and Russell helped us organise meeting at the same place with a bit of a 'wow' moment when we saw each other all dressed up! He made the day fun and relaxed - it clearly shows in all the photos! Russell and the whole team were super helpful in the lead up to the big day, always prompt with email responses to all my questions. Highly recommend working with Russell and the team!

The best investment we made for our wedding was by booking Russell Stafford Photography for our wedding photography (and engagement photos!) From the beginning to the end of the process, it was so smooth, we were given lots of helpful information in preparation before the wedding and a sweet little emergency kit which we did end up using on the day. Russells vision and style is timeless and looking through the photos of the day we felt we were re-living our wedding. The photos taken flowed to show a story of the day and brought back all the emotions. On our wedding day, Russell and team were very organised and I didn't have to just worry about the photos, because they were very aware of the timing and helped keep everything run on time too. The photos were quality and I feel Russ is more than just the photos he takes! He is super easy to work with, very fun and more like a friend to us. A big thank you to Russell and team for making the day memorable for Chien and I.
