About

Hello there!

I’m Eva, the owner and main photographer for PHOTOLADYLOVE.

After documenting life with my camera all over the world for the past 15 years, I am thrilled to now call Nashville "home." Yeay!!!

Human stories are my passion, and it has been my great joy over the years to work with couples to visually tell their wedding day stories.

Years of industry experience in newspaper and documentary photography aid me in
approaching each wedding with an eye for beauty, emotion and candid moments.

Everything (from how you first met, to who said "I love you" first, and how you decided to spend your lives together) makes up your unique narrative. Essentially, each wedding day is the sum of hundreds of moments that are big, small, joyful, teary, funny, and of course, romantic. All important. All worth capturing.

Your big day will be a whirlwind. My goal for you as a couple is for you to live it to the fullest. Be present with each other and your loved ones, and let me freeze the day’s many moments in time for you to look back on for years to come. I want you to be delighted and surprised by the story that unfolds through the images.

Weddings are beautiful, fun, and crazy. It’s a pleasure for me to document them,
and witness couples affirm their commitments. I have been so privileged to remain a part of the lives of my clients as they transition from engagement sessions to wedding days to growing their families and celebrating many anniversaries together.

So, please, get in touch if you’d like to meet, grab a cup and chat about your love story. Let’s spread more photo love together!

Eva was amazing. She responded right away which enabled us to do cherry blossom engagement photos at the last minute (when they bloomed much earlier than anticipated). Her photojournalism style is really incredible and means that you get very natural photos. The posed photos were awesome but so were the candids. She was very pleasant to work with and very nonintrusive. She made sure to know all the groupings of photos that were important to us. We can't wait for our album.

Eva really captured the spirit of our wedding. Her photojournalist images told the story of not just our relationship, but the distinct relationships we have with the people in our lives: family, coworkers, close friends, you name it. She produced some amazing photos despite some major challenges, including a severely backlit ceremony and extremely crowded engagement session. And her photos were truly magazine quality. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. In fact, I already have.

There is not much to say other than that Eva is amazing. She is kind and sweet and professional and somehow manages to be in 5 places at once without you even knowing. Her eye for photography is amazing, and we know that our cool, overcast fall wedding day has been captured perfectly by her. We had such a great time working with her from our first coffee meeting, to engagement pictures in downtown Richmond, and finally our wedding. We definitely recommend Eva for her value, personality, quality, attentiveness, and all around greatness!

We loved having Eva (Photo Lady Love) as our photographer. We picked her because of her natural, honest style -- where people and places look their best in pictures, but also real. She doesn't over process her photos and make them seem like everyone else's wedding pictures. They look genuinely lovely.

Eva's been in a TON of situations far more challenging to photograph than a wedding, but she brings that experience with her. She's also a pleasure to work with, totally kind, respectful, and funny. I feel so lucky we found her!

Photo Lady Love is the BEST. I thought that one of my guests summed it up best with this comment.

" I must say that your still photos are among the best I've ever seen --they did a stupendous job of catching the joy and the sweetness of the night - truly magical! They have great energy and tell the story beautifully."

Not only is Eva incredibly talented-she is also a dream to work with. I can't believe how lucky we were to find her! I find myself checking her blog on a regular basis to see her new work. She is amazing!

Eva has been such a joy for us to work with! She's got an incredible eye, a great personality, and she didn't murder us when we got stuck in unbelievable traffic and were 90 minutes late to our engagement shoot. She works hard to make people feel comfortable and will take suggestions, but more than that, if you just let her do her own thing, you'll wind up with amazing photos and a fantastic friend!

I cannot say enough good things about Photo Love Lady! She is an amazing photographer and we had so much fun working with her. She shot a mini engagement session a few weeks before the wedding and the pictures were awesome. She was by far the best vendor we worked with throughout the wedding planning process. She is so kind and easily understands exactly what you are looking for. Her pictures are beautiful and artistic and natural, without being cheesy or feeling staged. She blends into the background during the wedding and is not intrusive. She also has a way of being in 5 places at one time, somehow. It's kind of amazing! I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! :)

Eva (the photographer and owner of Photo Lady Love) was the photographer for a friend's wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. She was so friendly that day, and the photos turned out fantastic, so I knew she was going to be high on my list when we were searching for a photographer for our own wedding. She was so sweet and thorough when answering our questions in our initial meetings, so we, of course, booked her. She was so prepared to shoot our wedding by offering to do a walk-through of our church, reception venue, and surrounding areas with me the week before. This was really helpful to truly show her and discuss why we love certain parts of our venues and make sure she could prioritize those in our pictures. She was able to do that on top of using her amazing photographer eye to see what I couldn't see and get really cool angles. The requisite portrait-type photos she took were beautiful, but she also caught so many great candid moments and reaction shots that we really love. We'll love the crisp, clean, classic style of her photos for years to come. It was also a great bonus that she provides all of her pictures in both color and black & white.

Eva Russo is absolutely GREAT!!! We planned our wedding in a very short period of time and I was very excited to know that Eva was available on our date, because I LOVED the pictures on her blog of other weddings. After first meeting Eva, her kind, beautiful personality shined through and I knew that working with her would go very well. Eva was like the silent shadow during the whole wedding, she captured so many great photos, but it was like we didn't even know she was there. Eva has a very creative eye for detail and took so many great photos that we constantly go back to the website just to look at all of the photos again. It was very hot ... like 103 on the wedding day and we took quite a few photos outside, but Eva had a positive and cheery attitude with us the whole time, even when the wedding party was getting hot and bothered. Then, when my husband and I went to take our couple photos, it started pouring raining and Eva was there in the rain, getting soaked, taking our pictures -- a true sign of dedication there. Thanks so much Eva!!! The only downside that I can think of was that we didn't get to go to all of the "other sites" for our couple photos, that we missed photos of the reception before we got there (where a 2nd shooter would have come in, but we knew that when we signed on), and that we didn't get a shot with our grandparents.

Overall, such a great job!! We will cherish the memories of our beautiful day forever through these beautiful photos! Thank you so much Eva!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
