We are Russ and Laura How. We fell in love in Texas in 2005, married in the Lake District in 2012 and now live in Somerset with our beautiful 2 year old son, Charlie. We also have a cat called Elmo who likes to stare a little too much, but he means well. Russ loves to cook Indian food and believes that chillies should be the corner stone of any sensible diet. Laura loves conversation, tea and shortbread and good films about the human experience. We both have a passionate love of music. Charlie likes to ask people what they are doing and everyone in our village is more than happy to tell him. We love our adoptive village and the rural life.
We’ve been in love with wedding photography since we started and believe that it’s the best job in the world. We meet thousands of people every year through our work and we get to experience and preserve a small part of many, many love stories. We really can’t think of a more rewarding, thrilling or enjoyable way to make a living than that.
We’re primarily documentary photographers, which basically means we don’t get in the way, we don’t interrupt and we don’t instruct. We’re there to capture the vibrancy, beauty and emotion of your day without being an influence on it. We don’t hide in the shadows with long zoom lenses like paparazzi either though; we’re in with the action which we really feel produces far more intimate and honest imagery than a stand-off approach. We’re also very sensitive to the ebb and flow of energy on the day and we move with it, so our presence is rarely felt. This, we believe is the key to good documentary wedding photography.
