Our Approach

At How Photography, we understand that every wedding is unique, and we strive to capture the essence of each couple's special day. We won't ask you to pose, look at the camera, or say 'cheese' at any point - we promise! Our goal is to provide you with beautiful, natural photos that truly reflect your wedding day. From a few hours to full-day coverage, we offer various options to suit your needs.

About Russ

Russ is a passionate photographer who has been capturing weddings since 2009. He lives in Axbridge, Somerset, with his wife Laura, their 11-year-old son Charlie, and their pets Goose and Luna. When he's not behind the lens, Russ enjoys caving in the Mendip, playing music, and spending time in nature. He loves steak, curry, and a good beer.

Why We Love Our Job

The experience of shooting a wedding is fascinating, and we're not just talking about the photography. We get to see the love between couples, their families, and friends, and we're privileged to be a part of it. We hear the stories, the laughter, and the tears, and we do our best to capture it all in a way that's natural, relaxed, and informal.

What Our Couples Say

Our couples have said some amazing things about us, but don't just take our word for it. Here's what Melanie and Luke had to say: "Russ is a consummate professional and worked hard all day to be in the right place at the right time in order to catch all of the little moments that make up the day. Having said this, he was a master of disguise, managing to be 'there but not there' and to blend into the crowd. His hard work paid off and we were absolutely delighted with the results. I would have no hesitation in recommending him."
