He was very responsive when listening to what we were hoping to achieve and found an option that fit our budget. We had a few travel and medical schedules that caused a reschedule, but he was very considerate and understanding when we spoke a few weeks ahead of time. He wore a mask for our session and appropriately socially distanced (much appreciated during COVID times with family members of all ages). He travels light, which really speaks to his ability and talent to get incredible shots, both formal and candid. Will heartily and happily recommend him to friends and family.

Romulo spent the day with us and did an incredible job capturing not only the memories of the day but also the emotions. He was with us for all of the important moments of the day, yet never in the way; he captured moments we didn't even realize he was there for. We're so thrilled we have his photos to look back at to remember our day by. We were extremely impressed with how our photos turned out, and could not recommend Romulo more!

Sarah is very creative and we had many very artful photos that have garnered high praise from our family and friends.

The pictures are wonderful. Thank you Sarah for preserving these moments for us.

When my husband and I started planning our wedding last year, we knew we wanted an outstanding…read morephotographer. However, we weren't interested in throwing a "typical" wedding or having "typical" wedding pictures: a bridal party jumping up and down, pictures of our rings in flowers, pictures of our shoes, etc. Our wedding was to include an Indian ceremony, a session of story-telling, a sign language interpreter, and a bingo game involving popcorn. Our wedding was far from traditional. So, what we really wanted were more candid shots that showed the important people in our lives during the event, their personalities, and how we interacted with them. All of the photographers we searched in Madison had wonderful pictures, but they were a little too traditional for us, so we started asking around. A family member had a friend named Max Wendt, a professional photographer who focused on the performing arts. We looked at his portfolio, were impressed, and contacted him. Unfortunately, he had never shot a wedding before. We explained to him what we were looking for, and he agreed. He said that if he were to shoot a wedding, ours would be the kind of wedding that he would like to photograph. We met with him while we were briefly in town, and he showed us an expanded portfolio that even included pictures he had taken of his own family. We negotiated back and forth quite a bit about the contract, the price and method of payment, and the event times (ours was a 2-day wedding). Everything was over email (and across the country), and we found Max to be professional, flexible, and very willing to listen to our concerns and suggestions. We modified the contract to a degree that satisfied all of us. As the wedding approached, Max began asking us questions over email. He had been to visit our wedding site, and had suggestions about the best place and set up for the pictures. His suggestions were great, and we agreed to many of them, but we didn't feel pressured to change things around if we didn't want to. Max showed up to the events on both days early, and stayed late. We wanted him to take a few posed pictures of the two of us, as well as immediate family, and he found a wonderful spot at both locations for those pictures. As a good photographer should be, he was discreet and we barely noticed him as he worked. Although a self-proclaimed "perfectionist," Max was extremely friendly, easy-going, and pleasant to work with. At our smaller ceremony, friends of ours actually struck up conversations and tried to take pictures of HIM, as if he were a friend we had invited to the wedding. That's when I knew we had made the right choice - because it just felt like he belonged at the events. A month later we returned from our honeymoon and met with him to see our pictures. Not only was the color and quality fantastic, but he had captured the event and the personalities of our friends and family so perfectly. Some of my favorite things about his pictures: facial expressions of our friends and family that showed their personalities; adorable photos of the many young children we had at our wedding, doing adorable things; the funny and sweet interactions between my husband and I; funny and goofy pictures of us and our guests that encompassed the relaxed and easy-going nature that we wanted to have at our wedding. This event was a learning process for both Max and us. There were a few things that I wanted in the pictures that I didn't even know I wanted until they were missing, such as different interactions with specific friends, and reactions from our crowd of guests at certain moments. But I could tell Max did his best trying to get everyone in the room - a daunting task. Max also mentioned that there were a few things that he would change, and had made a list of suggestions for each bride and groom in the future. I think these will enhance his photos even more. Max did exceptional work at our wedding that was just the right amount of "out of the box" for us, and we're really happy we chose him.

Please read this to the end to truly understand how extraordinary Russell is not just as a DJ but…read moreas a human being. We hired Russell for our wedding in September 2011 and to this day I can say with complete confidence it was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first meeting he was fully invested in us our story and our vision. He listened asked thoughtful questions and made us feel genuinely cared for. On our wedding day everything was flawless. The uplighting transformed the space the photo booth was a huge hit and the playlist kept everyone on the dance floor. Every single guest was involved. One of the most unforgettable moments was the father daughter dance where Russell created a powerful emotional experience that still gives me chills. The most incredible part was our first dance. Before the wedding Russell interviewed us separately recorded our voices and incorporated our actual words into our song. There was not a dry eye in the room. It was intentional magical and something I have never seen done before or since. Fourteen years later after life divorce and finding our way back to each other I reached out to Russell hoping to find that song. Not only did he respond but he took personal time to track it down across old computers and even a floppy disk. He found it. Hearing that song again brought us right back to why we fell in love in the first place. It was a moment we will cherish forever twice. Russell does not just play music. He creates moments that last a lifetime. Jason and I will be forever grateful. Jason and Shannon

My daughter and husband chose the storytelling on their first dance.. there wasn't a dry eye in the room! Russ kept the dance floor full the entire 5 hours. He had a back up plan if the guests weren't dancing, but that was NOT needed! Raving compliments the next day from guests who have never experienced such fun! Russ takes the time to help you plan and personalize your special night. My daughter and husband met with Russ multiple times prior to the wedding and I, as the mother of the bride was even invited for one meeting by my daughter to ensure the music would be to all of the guests liking. He brought all of his own equipment, and helped us organized our wedding day from beginning to end. He made sure that every thing ran smoothly, we never had to worry at all. Russ covered all his bases and was very professional, you could tell he had done many weddings, he was very experienced and knew what the expectations were for the guests Highly recommend! You WILL NOT be disappointed!!
