Meet Russ
I am a photographer specializing in a wide range of photography, including weddings, family reunions, special events, portraits, and sports, covering Vermont, New Hampshire, and New England. My journey in photography began in 1990 when I moved to Vermont and started as a ski and snowboard photographer at Okemo Mountain. There, I captured kids taking their first ski runs, families gathering for group shots at the top of Upper World Cup, and the thrilling moments of racers on the slopes. What I loved most about the job was the people I met and the role I played in preserving their joyful vacation moments.
Southern Vermont won me over with its stunning landscapes, fresh air, and friendly inhabitants. The connections I made at Okemo inspired me to continue my photography career, expand my services, and connect with even more Vermonters and those who consider the state their second home.
I still have a passion for capturing the action in the middle of events, but I'm equally comfortable blending in at gatherings and weddings, documenting the energy of those joyful occasions that bring families and friends together.
When I'm not on assignment, you can find me at my photo gallery and studio in Ludlow, Vermont.
"25 years ago, Russ began photographing me as a child skiing with my family at Okemo Mountain. Planning our wedding with my fiance, I knew Russ would be our photographer. He did an exceptional job and perfectly captured our special day. Now that I have a family of my own, Russ is our go-to photographer whenever we’re in Vermont! Russ immediately puts everyone around him at ease, allowing the natural moments to be captured as they happen."

"Russ captured all of our special moments on a busy day with a smile and a calm demeanor. He is both professional and personable, and many friends and family members commented on how much they enjoyed Russ on our wedding day. Russ took the time to get to know my husband and I and, as a result, our beautiful wedding and engagement photos are a great reflection of who we are. We are grateful to have had Russ with us on the most important day of our life and cannot praise his work, his style, and his photography enough."
