About This Vendor
Bold Joy
Photography with an emphasis on authenticity. I'm obsessed with image quality - fun, beautiful, and unique photos - but what's even more important is that you enjoy your interaction with me and that you actually get to be present and in the moment at your wedding. It's ok to have fun while I help you realize your beautiful vision with a mix photojournalism, emotive candids, and light-handed formals. Relax :D

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a graphic designer/art director based out of New York, and I am extremely particular with photography, so trying to find a photographer to document the most important day of my life was very stressful! With that ...

With camera technology being what it is and with the resources of the internet, it isn't that difficult to grab a camera, learn how to use it, and produce images that are reasonably good. It just takes a little patience and a little practice.

My name is Russell and I still make funny faces in photos.
I’m a silly sarcastic sweetheart (who apparently loves alliteration). Born and raised in San Diego California, as was my affinity for the words dude and rad – I’ve since come to call the Bay Area home and I adore it here.
I’m a big fan of visiting foreign lands and sampling their ice cream. I think puns are the highest form of comedy and geography trivia is the root of all knowledge.
You’re highly intelligent for taking the effort to read this sentence, and hope you like my images.
