The Waldron Photograph Co.

We chose him because we loved how unique and different his work is. It seems like anyone can take good pictures with a nice camera these days. The pictures that were captured, it’s as if we can look back on them and feel everything we were feeling that day. They captured it so well and were so much fun to work with.

st 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 he 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!!

d accommodating, as we are not anywhere near models! Giving us small prompts that end up creating magic! Rusty is great at capturing feeling in his photographs- everything is very genuine. I personally do not like to be photographed (usually don’t like how I look) and there is not a bad photo in the bunch! You will not regret having Rusty in your corner!

s high. So the thing we came to value most about Rusty—beyond even his taste, eye, and shooting skill—was communication. Our guy knows how to email. He was the quickest to respond to questions, schedule FaceTime meetings, and generally put our minds at ease. While anxiously planning a “destination” wedding, this was clutch. Rusty, of course, has an amazing eye—you've seen Waldron's Instagram. But he was very open to notes on what kind of pictures we were feeling before and after our engagement photo session (we definitely like candids over posed portraits; thank you, Rusty, for your patience in our inability to take ourselves seriously). Overall, dialing in our vibe felt like a fun, collaborative process. Yes, Rusty is fun! And chill as hell. So if that’s a vibe you’re looking for on your wedding day, he’s got it. We loved having a calm, competent presence capturing the moment. He’s a great wrangler when the job requires—and he doesn’t have to yell at anyone to get people into position. The TL;DR: Rusty gave us exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photos: us, but elevated. He made us look GOOD. He’s a lovely guy who’s lovely to work with. He had 100 percent of our trust, from beginning to end. If he’s available, we’d definitely book him for our next weddings*. One last thing: spring for the photo booth. Some of our favorite photos of the night came from friends and family using the photo booth. (*This is a joke, approved by wife.)

sband and I who are truly the most awkward people to photograph could actually look natural in our wedding photos. Rusty absolutely killed it - not one photo looks 'staged' and every single person looks incredible. These are not your typical wedding photos - they capture the day and the emotions perfectly but also are beautifully shot and visually interesting. Rusty and his second shooter were awesome to work with and he is also just a wonderful person to have by your side on wedding day - keeping things moving and was a calm presence in the midst of all of it. We got a curated highlight reel just 1 day after the wedding and got our full album about 5-6 weeks after which is crazy fast for how many photos we received and the quality. He was also super on top of it since we booked him on following up and answering any and all questions we had during the process. My friends and family can't believe how stunning these photos are and are something we will all cherish for generations!!

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.

us as a couple, and was beyond thoughtful about making sure he was capturing the day in a way that was authentic to us. In a stressful environment he was a conduit of calm, and we centered on his energy throughout the day. Like, beyond normal wedding stress. We had a damn tornado in the middle of dinner. The photos were amazing, plus he was a lot of fun to hang out with and have along for the day. Rusty felt more like a bridesmaid or a groomsmen than someone we'd hired. We could not imagine our wedding day without him, he was such a highlight. Thank you Rusty

o what we wanted and also had some amazing ideas for some really beautiful shots. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. I couldn’t be happier that my husband and I found Waldron Photograph Co.

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.

creative, experienced, organized, highly efficient, punctual, and professional...the list goes on and on. Our photos from the engagement photos and wedding were stunning. My only regret is that I didn't have him at the rehearsal dinner too. Simply put, he is the best!

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!

hotographers, 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 :)

has potential to be extremely nerve-wracking. His photography skills are so unique, we are so grateful that he was a part of our wedding. He captures moments you would have never known even existed, and now we'll always get to cherish those moments through his photos. He was also so accommodating to our needs on the day of our wedding and everything leading up to it. He also didn't hesitate to travel for our winter mountain wedding. He will 100% be our go-to photographer for our future family.

edding I knew exactly who I wanted to take my pictures. Rusty is not only a great photographer but also the coolest guy you will meet. We met with him 1 on 1 multiple times during our engagement planning process. He was so helpful in those meetings and over email/phone communication, as well. Our engagement pictures session was so fun, even my husband raved about how easy it was, and he hates taking pictures! When it came time for our big day I knew I had a great photographer to capture it but I never knew how big of a role the photographer made on our wedding day! You spend all day with your photographer and it helped that we had a great relationship with Rusty (and also that he is so easy to get along with!) We also had a 2nd photographer, Stephen, who was amazing and friendly as well. He helped out Rusty and manned the photo booth during the reception. And if I haven't convinced you of hiring Rusty yet, his photo booth, Blancbooth, is AMAZING. You MUST book the photo booth. I had multiple people use the pictures as family Christmas card photos! Not to bring pop culture in here, but it reminds me of the Kardashian photo booth if y'all know what I'm talking about! SOO GOOD! My one regret was not taking even more pictures in there during the night! Sorry for the long post but I can't thank Waldron Photography enough for everything. Truly the best and I would suggest to anyone! Thank you Rusty and Stephen!

er meeting with other photographers. Our engagement pictures were incredible and he was amazing at capturing the best, unstaged moments from our wedding. He is so easy to work with, so kind, and warm...you will not be disappointed! Ps: get the Blancbooth!

he 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.

u in the direction to make photos that look natural, and not too posed. I especially appreciated Rusty on our wedding day for fitting in some awesome outdoors photos even though there was rain coming and we had limited time. Due to the rain, Rusty had to get creative and found interesting and unique backdrops in our venue, and the pictures turned out perfect. I could not say enough about how much my husband and I loved working with Rusty and the Waldron team.

s you plan a wedding, it's inevitable that you make a list of what's most important to you and your future spouse. Photographs capturing the aesthetic of our day were VERY important, way up on the top of our priority list. Rusty caught our eye because stylistically it fit the kind of journalistic approach to photography that we preferred. Rusty was a master ringleader, orchestrating an excitable (slightly tipsy) family for portraits. The candid shots caught every unplanned silly, special, romantic moment we wanted captured on our wedding day. He also made us look like straight up super models. We never felt uncomfortable with his photo direction and I've never felt more beautiful. In summation, if you are searching for a great photographer, Rusty’s your guy. From an artistic, technical and creative standpoint, he knows his stuff. Thanks Rusty!

d totally carefree. From our first conversation I knew I was in great hands. He was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. 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!

going as Rusty. He made taking photos easy and we enjoyed our time with him. While we had many negative encounters with different vendors we were always refreshed talking with Rusty knowing he was a breath of fresh air from what we were used to dealing with. The Waldron Co. was our best wedding related decision next to getting married to each other and man are our pics breathtaking!!! Choose Waldron Co.

n’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.

ll. 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!

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 to name a few - that will be cherished forever. We highly recommend using Waldron Photography.

. From the moment we met we knew we had found our guy. We knew we wanted to work with Rusty before we even booked our date. And let me tell you, if we found a venue and a date and Rusty wasn't available, we would have absolutely changed our date. Rusty has a very calming presence and you just know that he will get it right. He took our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner photos, wedding photos and we used his Photo Booth. Everyone from our families to guests raved about how great Rusty, Stephen and their crew was and how easy they were to work with. He has a true gift for capturing moments, and making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He really is the best and I can't say enough good things.

ay and even went to the venue two weeks prior to find the best spots to take our photos so the day of the wedding ran smoothly. Now, I can relive our wedding day through amazing photos he took. Thank you!

. On the wedding day, I essentially had no idea he was there which made things feel very authentic, yet he captured the most gorgeous images. He is extremely genuine and down to earth and could not make you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention, he got a ton of highlight photos back to us by Sunday night after our Saturday wedding and had our entire wedding spread back to us within two weeks. Waldron is worth the investment for stellar photos that will last a lifetime!

tings and reviewing their work we were over the moon when they were free for our wedding date! We live out state in Florida and planning the wedding in KC we knew we needed vendors we could count on- when we met Stephen for the first time we immediately felt comfortable- like talking to an old friend! You can tell that he has a passion for photography -- He was creative and truly wanted to get to know us as a couple during our engagement session! Even throughout the downtime of planning he always reached out with a quick email or text- making us feel like a priority. Stephen was such a calm presence the day of the wedding- thank you! He helped move the group along and was always smiling! Even the week after the wedding he sent us some sneak peeks. His turn around on the full set of photos was right on time and he even sent us a little box with printed photos and a thank you card! The small details mean a lot and Waldron Photograph Co is the real deal! :) Thank you for being such an easy and fun vendor to work with- Stephen, Thank YOU! - Sarah and Todd Lindquist

at all accustomed to the spotlight, but Rusty somehow made the whole experience feel natural and easy. The photos came out incredibly well and fully captured the feeling of the whole weekend. We give our highest recommendation to this excellent photographer and human being!

e. 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!

creative space and he truly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I would recommend him to anyone.

aldron!

rsonal touches, help with wedding timeline, creative ideas) and we felt so comfortable working with him. We STILL receive countless compliments on our engagement and wedding photos a little over a year later. I cannot even explain how wonderful the experience was and if you are thinking about hiring him or Rusty - DO IT. You will not be disappointed!

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!

disappointed!!

and thoughtful. We had a really long day, it being a Vietnamese wedding, but Rusty captured every moment beautifully. What we appreciated most was the ease at which he was able to get us comfortable in front of the camera for portraits, me especially being the one who usually dodges cameras. He was our favorite vendor and we would recommend him fully and will contact him again for any of our photography needs.

sband 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!!

stener. We are extremely happy with the outcome and I will highly recommend Rusty to anyone who is looking for a great photographer - you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much, Rusty!!

er pictures!! He's AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

be happier with our experience with Waldron and would highly, highly recommend them.

h Rusty and get to work with him on our engagement and wedding photos. He is kind, courteous, timely, and detailed. 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!

d 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.

ter our honeymoon, and we are thrilled with how they turned out. Stephen has the perfect blend of professionalism and charisma. I would recommend Stephen and his work to all.
