About

We're Russell and Liz Caron of Russell Caron Wedding Photography.

Are you looking for a wedding photography team that is fun and easy-going, yet professional, while creating cherished, lifelong memories of your wedding day? We'd love to hear from you!

Based in mid-coast Maine, we photograph weddings from Boston to Bar Harbor, as well as internationally. Wherever you're getting married, we're happy to travel to your wedding destination.

Did we mention that the two of us photograph all weddings together? That way you get a team who are very well matched, who work together seamlessly, and who conceive and make timelessly beautiful photos for you to share for generations.

What's our style? Great question! Our style can best be characterized as a contemporary blend of artistry, portraiture, photojournalism, and editorial style. What does that mean for you? That you'll receive photos of all your most important moments of the day. The candid times during getting ready, your ceremony, and your reception, a few posed photos with your bridal party and family, and all the details of your beautiful wedding. Not to mention the environmental portraiture during your artistic set with the two of us.

Now for the fine print: Russell is FAA-certified for commercial drone use, and is one of only 9 photographers in the US to hold the additional certification of Certified Drone Photographer (CDP) by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). And, he is one of only two CDPs in the United States that is also a Certified Professional Photographer by the PPA. Both Russ and Liz are award winning wedding photographers, and Russ was named the Maine Wedding Photographer of the Year for 2016 and again for 2017 by the Maine Professional Photographers Association.

Good luck planning your wedding!

Outstanding wedding photographer

Russ and Liz were the obvious choice from the first time we spoke. They are incredibly easy to work with, communicative, genuine and all around wonderful. I am so grateful to have captured the love that we felt on our special day through their lens. My favorite part of the day was the first look and the decision to do this was influenced by their expertise and recommendations. Beyond the beautiful, quality photos we now have, I am most grateful for the calmness I felt working with them during what can be a chaotic sequence of events that is a wedding! As you put together your vendors during planning, it’s hard to comprehend how much of an influence it will have - I can tell you, it makes a difference and you cannot go wrong with these two!

Absolute professionals and amazing people

Overall: Russ and Liz went ABOVE AND BEYOND some very difficult situations with us (scheduling from a distance, COVID 19 reschedule, and then the wedding got rained out)... they were amazing the whole time:

From the outset, Russ was an absolute professional. We were planning from a distance and he offered to meet with me through FaceTime (this was Pre-Covid.). I LOVED his photos online and also his offer to take us through Acadia National Park to all the really great photo spots that he and Liz know. Well.. then COVID happened. Russ was an amazing communicator and we heard from him way before we heard from any other vendor (and some we didn't hear from at all until we reached out). He had a plan in place. We were forced to reschedule and he was amazingly flexibly and didn't charge us any change fees (I'm from NJ and a lot of people were charged here to change their dates due to covid.. we got very lucky).

Anyway fast-forward to a lot of flexibility and planning with him, he proposed a really nice schedule but was open to changes and was very easy to work with.

He and Liz drove up the day before and came to our rehearsal (not guaranteed he was able to do this but it was lucky they didn't have anything the day before). It looked like it was going to rain out so he took our entire bridal party through where to stand and pose for the best light both indoors and outdoors. The next day: it POURED. We still managed to get two of the spots photographed in Acadia, but the ceremony had to be inside. He was fantastic the entire time. Great attitude and just so helpful and supportive. So was Liz!

Here is the most amazing part: since we would be driving through their town on our way back to NJ (about 2 hours south) they offered to take MORE PHOTOS on the coast in a very beautiful spot near their home. They photos turned out amazing (including that drone shot we couldn't do because of the rain) and we got to put all our stuff back on.

The photos turned out great! Everything was very timely and he has remained very quick to respond in all our communications after the wedding.

You would be crazy NOT to hire him!!!

Genuine and stress free

Get your wedding pictures done with russell Caron photography! Russ and Liz both become your friends. Liz did our shoot and made it so fun and relaxing. At first I was sad Russell couldn’t join us but Liz was sensational. Her eye for her shots are stunning. She always smiles and is in the moment just like you are. They put together a GORGEOUS wedding album for us and even when I though I was being picky Russ would always respond I want it perfect for you and I know he spent a lot of time! ( even moving pictures on the fold). I truly know you will not gain anything but trust and a friend. We live in Massachusetts (south of Boston) and I found them through online and I’m grateful. We did a first look and Liz walked us through everything. I promise you’ll be happy! Such kind people! That’s what people need and want especially planning a wedding away!
