Russell Caron Wedding Photography

Russel Caron was my wedding photographer and was absolutely wonderful to work with! He did my engagement photos, my boudoir shoot, and of course my wedding photos! He was very professional yet fun and creative all at the same time. I had a blast throughout the whole process and I especially appreciated the way he captured all of the important moments without being "in the way" on our big day. I would highly recommend Russell to any bride looking for an amazing photographer to capture all of the magical moments on her special day!

Russ was amazing to work with. He is professional, concise, and creative. After the wedding when you look at the amazing moments captured you are even more excited that you picked Russ to be your photographer. I can't thank him and Patty his assistant enough! We are more than satisfied!

If I could give a higher rating than a 5.0 on all five provided categories, I would. Russell Caron Wedding Photography was everything Kevin and I could have hoped for. For the longest time, I couldn't finish writing a review for him because I never felt it was worthy of the amazing job they did at our wedding. Then I realized that said it all right there. You will not be disappointed. After traveling to the middle of New Hampshire through a Nor'easter, 6 inches of additive snow to what was already present, and a very windy Saturday morning, somehow Russ and his team were still able to produce thousands of amazing pictures from our wedding weekend. We knew from the moment they started snapping away, we didn't have anything to worry about.

It is hard to put into words how amazing Russ has been to Mike and I. I first contacted him over two years ago to be our wedding photographer. I hadn't looked at many other people, but based on looking at his website and one phone conversation, I was pretty sure that I was going to go with Russ. We traveled to Maine in the summer of '09 and planned to meet with Russ for the first time. We told him we would probably be coming into town late, but that we really wanted to meet with him. He said it would be no problem, he would wait for us. Well, after a flight delay, then a few wrong turns en route, he kept assuring us he would still be at the office. I think we finally got there after midnight, and sure enough, Russ was there waiting for us. He took his time explaining what he does, his style, and went over all his packages in detail. He did not seem rushed or that we were putting him out. He even offered to do an engagement shoot for us while we were in the area, whenever was convenient for us. The engagement shoot was a blast, and I was so impressed with the results. I still look back at those pictures and smile, remembering the fun we had. The date we set was October 16th, 2010, but due to a deployment to Afghanistan, we had to reschedule 7 months prior to the wedding. Russ was understanding, and when the new date was set, he had no problem rescheduling. The day before the wedding, Russ came to Rockland for our rehearsal dinner. He was punctual, and was almost like a fly in the wall, just capturing the images which I know will be amazing. The day of the wedding, Russ showed up at 10am to start photographing every detail of the wedding day. He stayed with me until the party ended at a little after 10pm, taking pictures of EVERYTHING! He captured some of the most intimate moments without me even noticing he was there...everything from a kiss from my mother, to an embrace with my new husband. The fun shots that we took that day were by far, my favorite. Even though it was 34 degrees with a strong wind, Russ and his amazing second shooter Patty stood outside with us and took tons of pictures that are absolutely breathtaking! I would Highly recommend Russell Caron to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. After looking at some pictures that my friends have had done, I truly believe his work exceeds all others!

Russell Caron provides the exactly non-intrusive, yet friendly style that all brides crave. He was able to capture all of the styles of a New England Wedding, the country-side Wayside Inn, and Boston's North End with extreme ease. I gladly recommend his work to all New England brides and you will not be let down! - Kelly and Sean (March 12, 2011)

Russell Caron Photography earns an A+++ from this teacher/bride. You won't be disappointed! He is willing to be creative and innovative (an outdoor ice skating rink in the middle of Feb in Maine) while also taking traditional shots (family, portraits, etc). We had so much fun working with him.

Russell Caron Wedding Photography is of the highest quality! We are so pleased and impressed with our gorgeous and unique photos! I would recommend him to anyone getting married! It is obvious that he has a lot of experience as well as passion for photography! We look forward to having these images of lifetime for the rest of our lives and beyond. Thanks Russ!

Russell Caron is, hands down, the best wedding photographer. His pictures speak for themselves and if that isn't enough, Russ himself seals the deal. My husband and I live in Nothern Virginia and planned the wedding from afar, with the exception of a few jam packed meetings on the occasional weekend visit home. Russ ALWAYS worked with us when it came to our visits to Maine. In our conversations leading up to the wedding, Russ made sure to ask if there were specific pictures that we wanted, learned all of the important details of the day and even offered advice to make sure that we didn't miss a single opportunity to take pictures (but he never over stepped his grounds!). The night of our rehearsal, Russ even came to St. Joseph's Church in Portland because he hadn't photographed there recently. This was something that he did on his own, again to make sure that we got the best possible pictures. And we did!There are so many beautiful pictures that I had never thought of but am so happy to have now. Russ provided the exact amount of encouragement and feedback that any nervous bride could need, his excitement and passion for his work really comes through there. Besides having all of the digital negatives of our images, the best treat was waking up the following morning and finding a sneak peek on Facebook. Every single one of our pictures is more beautiful than the next. We love them all! I will recommend Russell Caron to all brides that I meet.

The best way I can describe Russell Caron Photography is true artistry. Russell is the most professional and kind person, my husband and I felt so comfortable with him and truly feel he is part of our family now. I look at our photos from our wedding and I feel the emotion from the day of my wedding, he captured the feelings of the day for us in his photographs. They bring tears and smiles for me when I see them. Some of the words that my husband uses to describe Russell are "he Rocks", "he is Amazing" and "he is an Artist". We can't thank him enough for all he did for us, he truly went above and beyond and not only made our day special but he has given us a gift to look back at to remember it all!AND an additional review for the FusionVideo Russel provided; it was outstanding!!!! The first time I watched it I cried and the second time and so on; it was so amazing, I couldn't stop watching it, I just watched it over and over again. I couldn't have asked for a better video, they captured each piece we would want to remember. Our family and friends can not believe how great it is, we will cherish these memories forever!!! Thank you Russell!!!!

As the mother of the bride, I was the one who had to keep reminding my daughter that you need to look at more than one option, and never make your decision on the first visit with any wedding vendor, and that ALL wedding decisions are made by emotion and not logic. In the case of Russell Caron Photography, we knew right from the start that HE was the one that could spend the entire day (nearly fourteen hours!) with us, and capture the essence of the most important day of our daughters life. He has a great balance of presence of professionalism and a sense of being "one of the family" to put you at ease and truly bring out the inner beauty of your wedding day. I found his pricing to be very competitive in the market, but his service is priceless. He tirelessly worked to get "teaser" selections on his website within hours of the events (engagement, rehearsal and wedding). My daughter also selected a boudoir session, that I attended along with her sister, and he again was so professional and made my daughter feel comfortable, relaxed and natural. I look forward to the final photo selections and receiving my "Parents Album".

I cant thank Russ enough. He was amazing to work with. Very professional, funny, and made everyone in our weddig party feel very comfortable. I knew right from the first minute we met him he would be my photographer. Russ went out of his way to capture every special moment we had on our wedding weekend... Rehearsal dinner, hair and makeup, guys getting ready, and the actual wedding and party. He was with us for almost a full day and still gave 100% to us through the end of the night. I cant wait to get all of our photos to show off how great of a photographer Russ is.... (and how great our wedding was!!) I told Russ at the end of the night that im sad its all over and he said 'Noelle its not over because you will have your photos soon and will be able to relive all the great memories you made for years to come with them' and he was right. I cant wait to get the full set and look at them all the time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Russ!!! You know you have a client in me for life! ~Noelle Tanguay

This is a copy of the email I sent Russell Caron one week after my wedding. He is so fantastic in every way, an absolute pleasure to work with!!Dear Russ,I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic, amazing and beautifulpictures. They are truly exceptional and far beyond my expectations.I can't stop looking at them, they are simply stunning. One of themost important aspects of my wedding was the pictures. It was soimportant to me that they were beautiful, artistic and captured all ofthe hard work Travis and I put into this one day. It was your job tocapture all of the details, emotions and elements of this one day,plus add your own creativity to capture the memories that our familywill cherish and remember for a lifetime. You did a fantastic job andit is clear that you are very passionate about your work and it shows. Your professionalism and kindness throughout this process madedealing with this aspect of my wedding effortless and worry-free, andlet me tell you....when you are a bride the less stress the better.Words can not express my appreciation for your work and creativity. Ididn't doubt that you would do a fantastic job photographing mywedding, but never in my wildest dreams did I think the pictures wouldcome out this amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. These arepriceless. Please, if you ever need to use me as a reference, I wouldbe more than happy to sing your praises to any potential customer ofyours. I will be recommending you to all of my friends looking for aphotographer and I am sure we will work together again in the future.

My husband and I wanted the best photographer so we started very early in our engagement to find the perfect photographer. We booked Russ about two years before our event and we have never regretted this decision. Russ is both flexible and knowledgeable and I would urge every bride to use this to your advantage. Russ provided us valuable tips (make sure the flowers are at the hotel early and make sure you have thought about lunch on your wedding day). Russ also was willing to go anywhere and shoot any shot we wanted.Russ's photography speaks for itself. We had a very difficult venue to shoot pictures in due to the lighting and Russ's pictures look great while all of the armature photos were blurry, grainy or oddly colored (and most of my friends have SLR's). One of the best parts about Russ is his promptness. Russ had pictures on facebook at 1am - and our wedding was over at 10pm. It was so valuable to have our friends and family who were unable to make it be able to share in the preview of these photos so quickly.

There are absolutely not enough words to express how pleased I was with my photos from Russell. He shot our engagement shoot, my final dress fitting, the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, bridal prep, formals and the event itself. He was unfailingly kind, flexible and professional from start to finish ... and I would recommend him to ANYONE that wants stunning photos! Some of ours are absolutely unique and one-of-a-kind.

We can't say enough about how happy we were with Russ, as well as his assistant photographer, Patty. Russ's passion really shines through. His energy and detail put into our day was amazing. From the planning process through to a long day of shooting, he was meticulous and attentive to our vision, capturing our memories far beyond our expectations. Both Russ and Patty were right there when there were specific shots we wanted but captured many precious others in the backdrop. We really enjoyed having someone shoot our wedding that we could tell was having a lot of fun coming up with some beautiful photos. We were very, very impressed with the end result and we're so glad we found Russell Caron Photography. Thanks Russ and Patty!

We can’t tell you how thrilled we were to find Russell Caron Photography for our wedding at a Camden, Maine B&B. After countless hours of searching and interviewing many other photographers, we spoke with Russ. We knew immediately that he was the perfect choice. He has a love and passion for photography that is evident in his work. Russ and Sarah were so comfortable to have around and they blended in with our family and friends. No one felt as though they were in the eye of the camera, yet all of our special moments were captured. We’ve shown the photos to many people who have said they are, by far, the best and most creatively shot wedding photos they have ever seen. Thanks Russ and Sarah for capturing our memories beautifully – we will treasure them for years to come!

My husband and I would absolutely recommend Russ Caron to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. He has this unbelievable talent for capturing emotion on film...I was so overwhelmed when I saw my proofs, I couldn't stop looking at them. We are so happy we decided to sign on with him as our wedding photographer.Not only can he take a good picture, but he is very easy to work with. He sat down with us and drew up a package best fitting OUR wedding. From our first meeting through the photo shoot and proof review, we have been in continuous contact and he has always been very responsive to my questions and concerns despite a busy wedding season.Russ will only continue to surprise and amaze you with his talent for capturing such a beautiful experience, such as your wedding, and turning it into a treasured piece of art.

I needed a photographer at the last minute (well, within a few months) and Russell was available, made sure he would be the one at my wedding, and made sure that I got the best service. I am so glad we found him!

My Husband and I recently got married July 10,2010. I would definitely recommend Russell Caron for your wedding photographer! Russell Caron by far exceeded my expectations! I absolutely love my wedding photos and given the chance to do everything again I would not change my photographer! I knew from looking at his work online that I loved his style. I also was looking for an artist...someone to capture detail. In the end I really hoped for not just your average wedding picture to hang on the wall..but a timeless peace of art. As a Bride I truly had a great experience. When I saw the photos for the first time via i-phone in the airport on the way to our honeymoon..I couldn't believe it..I was amazed!My favorite moment was when I just finished eating and looked over my shoulder out the window to see the sun setting..I then said to my husband.."would you kill me if I got Russ and we can go take a few more outside" the sky looked so beautiful. No sooner did I turn around, Russell was at my side asking me If I wanted to take advantage of the sun set and take a few more. I never had to leave my seat to find him, and he read my mind.Now my favorite photograph of my husband and I is from that very moment we went outside under the sunset.A few weeks after our wedding I decided to take the plunge and do the "Trash The Dress" photo shoot with Russell Caron. My mom just loved the idea and we had such a fun day! Russell Caron definitely showed professionalism. Asking my comfort level with getting the dress dirty or wet and worked with what I was willing to do. He made it fun and even let me be creative and give suggestions! and Yes! I did choose to go swimming in the ocean! Again the pictures are amazing and my husband loved them. Something about getting into your wedding dress one last time...Again I highly recommend Russell Caron as he has the experience as well as true professionalism. He does his homework scoping out the perfect sites for your pictures, and is always offering creative ideas. You can really tell he loves every moment of his job. He is not only an exceptional photographer and an amazing artist, but a great person as well.

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Russell Caron. He and his associate were extremely professional and fun. Russ has a way of making a camera shy person like myself feel comfortable and really enjoy having pictures taken. Our wedding day was perfect and Russ really went above and beyond to capture all the special moments. I loved the creative elements that were added. We were married 2 hours away from his studio in Camden and he still knew all the best areas to shoot. There were so many beautiful shots to choose from. I really liked that we had pictures uploaded to Facebook and the website that he created so quickly. We were able to share them with our family while they were still visiting. Our wedding package was an exceptional value as well. My husband and I were trying to keep our budget down while prioritizing the lasting memories provided by great pictures. Russ offered an impressive package that fit perfectly into our budget. I would highly recommend Russell Caron Photography.
