Photographer Feature: Jeremy Russell for Corey McNabb Photography




Jeremy Russell of Corey McNabb Photography not only captures all the moments in a wedding day, he captures all of them beautifully while being incredible to work with.   We had a chance to interview Jeremy to learn more about him and his work ~ check out what he had to say!  Thanks Jeremy!

How do you describe your style?  The typical title is "wedding photojournalist" and essentially my goal is to capture all the fun and emotion of The Big Day without getting in your way...ever.

How long have you been a photographer?  12 years.  

How did you get started?  I started more years ago than I'd like to admit, as a high school yearbook photographer.  Which led me to a B.S. in Photographic Imaging with some weddings on the side.  Which led me to working as a retoucher at a high end photo agency in LA for four years and some more weddings on the side.  Which led to getting burned out on city life, moving to Asheville in 2006, and deciding to shoot weddings full time.

What inspires you to keep doing what you do?  Honestly, my clients and their feedback.  I know it sounds cheesy but it's true!

If you could give couples one piece of advise on picking a photographer, what would it be?  Pick a photographer whose photographic style and personality fit what you are looking for as a starting point.  How many 8x10's and picture coffee mugs you get will probably not be the more important factor in the long run.

If you could photography anywhere in the world, where would it be?  The Galapagos Islands.  Again.  Although I don't recall what their wedding venues were like....
