Timeless wedding photography and cinematic films
for couples who value authentic moments.
Meet Russell
Russell is the founder of RF Films & Photography, a Long Island studio devoted to capturing the moments and emotions that make every wedding unique.
His television career includes working as a producer on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress. That experience shaped his eye for storytelling, visual detail, and the moments that make a story memorable. Russell brings that perspective to wedding filmmaking while keeping the experience personal and centered on each couple.
The RF Films team creates broadcast-quality films with care and attention to detail. We work closely with you to capture your day as it unfolds, creating photographs and films that reflect your story and the feeling of being there.

RF Films was fantastic! When we first spoke with Russell we knew he was someone we wanted to have help capture our special day. He and his team are extremely professional. They made us feel extremely comfortable, especially with our shyness of being on camera.
I would highly recommend Russ & Crew to my family and friends. The video itself was a perfect capture of our special day. Above all, Russ was absolutely fantastic to work with. He goes above the extra mile to make sure that Bride & Groom are prepared for the big day
We cannot thank RF FILMS enough for the incredible job they did capturing our wedding day! The attention to detail, the stunning editing, and their ability to capture every special moment made our day truly unforgettable. Their work is worth every penny.
Russ & his team were easily one of our favorite vendors of our wedding! We truly can’t say enough good things about RF Films. Our experience working with this brand was nothing short of exceptional. Russ has gone out of his way to ensure we feel like valued clients.
RF Films 10/10 Russell was the preferred vendor from Waters Edge and it was so obvious why! Him and his team were beyond amazing. There was not a single moment that they didn’t capture, and from multiple angles! We received all of our photos within less than a month.
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with choosing RF Films to help us capture every moment of our special day! From start to finish, Russell and team had every angle covered and were a pleasure to work with. They were incredibly professional , responsible & highly recommended.
Russ and Monica were the absolute dream team! They became part of the party and made sure everyone was comfortable and having the best time. Russ was on top of the time and kept us on schedule while still making sure we got every shot we wanted. Thank you!
I am so glad that we chose RF Films for our wedding photography and videography! They are the best of the best!! Russ and his amazing team, including Mike, Anthony, and Dominic, were an absolute joy to work with. They were incredibly professional and enthusiastic.
I can't say enough good things about Russell and the rest of the RF Films team. They had already come highly recommended from family and friends, and when I got engaged I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them. Russ was professional & responsive.
