RUSTY. Y'all, Rusty is incredible. From the moment we hired him, we knew he was special. He's incredibly kind and genuinely invested in his clients. He spent time getting to know 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 are 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.

Won’t bury the lede for you, Internet: Rusty at Waldron is amazing. We planned our KC wedding remotely from Chicago, during the pandemic. Anxiety, you might suspect, was high. But he was the quickest to respond to questions, schedule FaceTime meetings, and generally put our minds at ease. Yes, Rusty is fun! And chill as hell. 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 had 100 percent of our trust, from beginning to end. 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.

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 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 see the journey. The laid-back energy, kindness, talent, and fun Rusty brought to our wedding was so incredibly special to Henry and I. Rusty made our personal experiences with getting married so much better than if he wasn't a part of it.

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. Like everyone else says... you will not and could never be disappointed with Rusty.
