    We booked Rusty before any other vendors for a reason… he is absolutely THE BEST there is!

    It’s hard to put into words just how special it is to work with Waldron on your wedding day. Waldron was our very first vendor pick for a reason… they are by far the best of the best. We booked Rusty before we had a venue, guest count, or really any wedding vision at all. We just knew whatever we landed on, we needed someone who could skillfully document every beautiful moment of our long awaited wedding day. And Waldron did just that AND some.

    Rusty has a way of making you both feel natural and effortless in every picture all day long. He truly is a “fly on the wall” and captures raw moments in such an artistic and flattering way. He absolutely blew us out of the water with his creative intuition, professionalism, talent and dedication to providing us with an individualized experience and beautifully REAL pictures. We can’t thank you enough Rusty!!

    The best decision of my wedding!

    Look no further if you are wanting timeless, candid and stunning photos! Rusty captured my husbands and I's big day so perfectly. He is a joy to work with, made us and all our guest feel so comfortable and it really shined through in EVERY photo. I had a very high standard of what I was looking for and he exceeded all of them. If you are looking for all the small and big moments to be captured with a detailed eye, look no further. 15/10 recommend Rusty and wish I could get married all over again to get some more photos!

    The Waldron Photograph Co.'s reply:

    Goodness, thank you Madison. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and appreciate all your trust. Hope to see you and Chris again real soon!

    One of THE best decisions we made for our wedding

    Having Rusty take our wedding photographs was one of THE best decisions we made for our wedding day/weekend! Rusty did a great job of making us feel beautiful while also capturing what feels like authentic snapshots of "us" as a couple. Instead of feeling like I was posing for pictures, I felt like I was just living (and loving) our day with Rusty in the background capturing it. The emotion and joy he managed to capture is incredible, and he also helped us do a streamlined approach to "formal" pictures so that we could spend more time with our guests (one of our priorities!). Rusty was so organized on the front end that the day itself went seamlessly, and he managed to bring an extra level of calm to the weekend (and, frankly, to the whole process!). The photos are absolutely incredible (although I recognize I'm biased...), and I know we'll cherish them for decades. You absolutely will not regret having Rusty and his team capture your weekend.

    Nothing but the Best

    My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May 2021, and we had the extreme good fortune of working with Rusty of Waldron Photography to capture our event. Our package with Rusty included an engagement photoshoot as well 8 hours on the wedding day. We included an add-on for the Blanc Booth; a high-quality professional photo-booth during the reception which offers black and white portraits for the entire evening. To put it plainly, I was absolutely blown away by the level of service, skill, and professionalism that Rusty puts into his work. The photos are phenomenal, the communication was excellent, Rusty’s style and vision for our day was exactly what we wanted, and the entire time we were together I felt comfortable and at ease. By the end of the night, I felt like we were all best friends. I know that my wife and I were having a great time and I felt like Rusty had a lot of fun with us as well. Two days after the wedding Rusty had already sent us our Blank Booth portraits and a sneak peak at the pictures from the day, totaling 230 pictures. A little over a month after the wedding we had the entire collection and all of Rust’s photos. All in total, including engagement photos, the photo booth, and the rest of the wedding pictures we have over 1,000 beautiful photos of the absolute highest quality from who I believe to be the most exceptional photographer. I am eternally grateful for the experience we had with Waldron Photography and would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of photography services.

    Simply the BEST!

    Where, oh where to begin? Rusty is just the best. Before you live your wedding day... you don't really know the full extent to just how much of an impact the vendors (who you will spend ALL day with) will have on EVERYONE's experience. They're in your family, they're in your wedding party, they're present for each moment big and small in your day. They've seen you grow from early planning and engagement photos to where you are when you get married. They see the journey. The laid-back energy, kindness, talent, and fun Rusty brought to our wedding was so incredibly special to Henry and I. Not only did Rusty deliver some incredible engagement and wedding photos, he made our personal experiences with getting married so much better than if he wasn't a part of it. Rusty knew just how important a good plan and good back up plan and back up to the back up plan was to me, and he excitedly would go over every detail with Henry and I however many times I wanted before the actual day... so when Rusty arrived to the bridesmaid suite I knew I could cruise into autopilot- he would take it from there. I could just be the bride and someone else would make sure it all happened. The photos he took for us will be some of our most prized possessions in our lifetime. He documented how we interact, how our family's love each other, how important our friends are, etc. and is able to communicate so much through his images. We say it all the time, but Rusty was the best decision we made for the wedding and we honestly didn't fully know that until we saw him that day. We knew he was good, trust me there... but we didn't realize until the day happened just how impactful it can be to have him in your corner on one of the biggest days of your life. Like everyone else says... you will not and could never be disappointed with Rusty. He has always exceeded any expectations and we are so, so thankful to him!

    Book Waldron yesterday

    Wow, where can I even begin? Aside from our venue, picking our photographer was one of the most important aspects of our day that I wanted to get right. I spent hours researching photographers, created a crazy spreadsheet that had me feeling like a bridezilla, and realized Waldron was the only choice for us. During our engagement photos we were so concerned they would look awkward because we are both uncomfortable in front of the camera. Rusty put us at ease immediately and had several tricks to help us look natural.

    On our day Rusty and Addison were so professional and brought the perfect balance of directing/observing. They knew when to step in to pose everyone and when to step back to allow us to be present in the moment the whole day and evening. After our day Rusty got our pictures to us so quickly and we were blown away at how perfectly our day was captured. Looking at our photos brings us back to the feelings of that day and will allow us to relive it forever. To us this is priceless and we cannot recommend Waldron enough. Our only photo-related problem throughout the entire process is now selecting which photos are our favorites because they are all so fantastic :)

    Best Decision

    Rusty Wright of The Waldron Photograph Co. blew our mind with his photography, kindness, creative vision, and professionalism. From the first email with him we knew it was one of the best decisions about our wedding we had made. He's seriously a joy to work with, he leaves a lasting impression on everyone he comes in contact with, and he captured our wedding day in a way that exceeded what we could've ever hoped for. He made our wedding day look as magical as it felt. We're so grateful to have worked with Rusty and will 100% go back to him with any future photography we need. Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Rusty.

    From the beginning before any contract had been signed , Rusty was professional , kind and accommodating. Planning a wedding from out of town comes with stresses- but knowing that our photographer was on board and offering to help in any way , making recommendations, presenting us with timelines - put us at ease. When our ceremony got pushed back due to unexpected circumstances, Rusty was still able to get all the shots we requested with family and our wedding party before the reception started. We have amazing pictures of our ceremony , the dance floor , and special moments between my husband and I just to name a few , that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend using Waldron Photography.

    Our wedding photos are magic!!!

    Working with Rusty was a dream. He's everything you'd want in a wedding photographer. Not only do we have the most incredible photos, but he made the entire process easy and fun and totally carefree. From our first conversation I knew I was in great hands. He was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Rusty captured moments at our wedding that I didn't even realize were happening. I am so so so grateful I found him and would wholeheartedly recommend him for your wedding day! If he's available, look no further!

    I highly recommend Waldron photography. Rusty was the best. He has the ability to keep the environment relaxed but also gives enough direction so everyone feels confident. He doesn’t shoot the exact same way for every wedding, but rather customizes with your interest in mind. The 2nd photographer, Dustin, was super nice as well. They never seemed to be in the way, but somehow caught all the moments from afar! They truly captured the mood of the night. Also Waldron is extremely professional; all the little touches from payment system to the final package, made for a great overall experience.

    Simply the best photography company you could choose for your wedding day! We originally met with Rusty and knew right away this was the right choice! Rusty is so laid back and chill. He wants to get to know you guys as a couple and truly cares how you are doing throughout the whole process. Rusty always told us to reach out if he can help us with anything, photography related or anything. We requested two photographers and Rusty brought Dustin with him on the wedding day. Both of them did an amazing job and captured the day and we couldn't ask for better pictures! There were a few photographs that I specifically requested and throughout the busy day, he still managed to remember every little detail!

    You will NOT regret choosing Rusty and Waldron!

    Rusty is has a phenomenal ability to capture the candid and emotional moments as well as beautifully and artistically capture the classic wedding photos you desire. Not only does he take amazing photographs but he is a pleasure to work with and listens to everything you want and then delivers it through breathtaking photos. His ability to capture just what I wanted was right on point! Picking him as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again! His partner which was hired as our 2nd photographer was just as amazing too. People were just awestruck by our wedding photos and we received SO many compliments! They are everything I wanted and more!

    Rusty was such a great and easy going photographer to work with. Everything from our initial meeting, to our engagement photos, to the final details meeting, and wedding felt just like hanging out with an old friend. His work is amazing, and photos that we will cherish and still adore for a lifetime!

    I wholeheartedly recommend Rusty as a wedding photographer. When researching all of the options, I spent days on a countless photographers' websites, and Rusty's photos immediately caught my eye. They truly tell a story and many even brought me to tears. I figured tearing up looking at complete strangers' photos must be a good sign! At the end of it all ,I am so thrilled we chose Rusty to photograph our Brooklyn wedding. From beginning to end he was extremely professional, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Our photos turned out phenomenal, and I've had a least five people come ask me who my photographer was because they want to book him now. Do not hesitate to work with The Waldron if you want a top notch photographer for such a special day!

    Photography was the most important item on our checklist when planning our wedding. If we were going to splurge it was going to be in this area. Photos last a lifetime!! When my husband and I found Waldron and looked through his portfolio we knew he was exactly what we were looking for. From there, we found out that he not only had amazing photos, but he was affordable and super personable. He captured all our favorite moments and made sure we had a blast along the way (no awkward poses, natural laughs, all you could ask for). I've never gotten so many compliments (and social media likes) in my life. Thank you times a million Waldron!!

    Rusty exceeded our expectations in every way. In addition to being a gifted artist, he is also professional, prompt, and excellent with communication. He listened well and ensured we were on the same page every step of the way. We felt so confident on our wedding day knowing that he was behind the lens. His photos are breathtaking, and we will enjoy them for the rest of our lives. He goes above and beyond. We cannot thank him enough! HIGHLY recommend him.

    I can't overstate how pleased we were to have Rusty photograph our wedding. From the very beginning, we knew photos would be an investment and after checking out other photographers, Rusty stood far above the rest. His standard of work is exceptionally high and his attention to the small details is beyond compare. He instantly put us at ease when we first met, our engagement session was a blast, and even during stressful moments of planning our big day, he was always willing to help out and make recommendations for details we never would have considered otherwise. Our friends and family continue to make comments to us about how professional he was at our ceremony, without being intrusive or attracting attention. And his photos really speak for themselves, the quality is unmatched! Overall, I highly recommend Rusty, you will not be disappointed!

    We worked with Stephen and he has an exceptional artistic talent blended with the most sincere personality. The entire process was fun and painless. He was very intentional in getting to know us and find out exactly what we wanted. On the day of the event he was extremely organized and managed his time perfectly. After the wedding day he presented the photos in a timely manner. I would recommend his to all.

    We hired Rusty to photograph our wedding and to capture our engagement photos, and looking back we could not be more thrilled with that decision. Rusty captured every moment of the day more eloquently and with more imagination and creativity than we could have ever imagined. He paid every attention to the tiny details of our wedding day, and even acted as a pseudo "day of" wedding planner for a couple that admittedly needed it. He was more than flexible to accommodate any of our wishes and did so with a smile on his face. Our wedding party and family members gushed about his personality and thoughtfulness.

    We met with Rusty on multiple occasions before the wedding and each time Rusty impressed us greatly with his preparation, attention to detail, flexibility and thoughtfulness. He was truly a pleasure to work with. He offered himself not only as a photographer, but as a consultant, planner and truly as a friend as well. As every future wife and husband knows, there is often times great stress involved with planning a wedding. Every time we met with Rusty we left feeling more confident than we were when we arrived.

    We've received raved reviews about Rusty's work from friends and family. We truly believe that every moment of our special day was captured in the form of a unique photograph, and he offered every single one of them to us in the form of an electronic thumb drive...they are truly OUR photos.

    We cannot more strongly recommend Rusty's work, nor can we thank him enough for his efforts. Thanks Rusty!

    Rusty Wright of The Waldron Photograph Co. is not only an outstanding photographer, but an amazing human being as well. My husband and I were extremely fortunate to cross paths with Rusty and get to work with him on our engagement and wedding photos. He is kind, courteous, timely, and detailed. Our wedding was a small one, and he not only acted as photographer, but also planned our timeline which was very helpful. Rusty made us feel he genuinely cared about us and our journey. I highly recommend The Waldron Photograph Co. for any occasion, but especially an event as important as a wedding. Thank you, Rusty, for giving us amazing memories of 2016--what a great year!
