Testimonials
Wedding
Leslie and Chris Gillies
“Through our work, we were able to get to know Trevor both personally and professionally. While working with Trevor, he consistently showed his talents as a photographer. When Trevor informed us he was starting his new venture, we were ecstatic for the chance to have to him shoot our wedding. We could not be happier with the results. As can be seen, the pictures speak for themselves. Trevor was able to capture moments where the emotion can be seen in one single photograph. Trevor has a natural instinct and eye to catch what is being felt in the moment. Our families were extremely impressed with his work. In fact, they were so impressed that when my little sister was engaged a month later she called us to get Trevor’s contact information. We are so grateful to have had Trevor capture the memories of our wedding.”
Tim and Brenna Michaels
Trevor’s talent to capture moments is perfect. He photographed our wedding at Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina, and we couldn’t be happier with our photos and experience. He created a delightfully entertaining, comfortable, and creative atmosphere. He was open to our ideas, and constantly reminded us that he was there to make us happy. He captured the intimate moments – candid, funny, heart-warming moments, all of it. Each photo tells the story of our day, and Trevor’s work far surpassed anything else we’ve seen or could have asked for.
As the bride, it was important for me to capture the day leading up to the big event. It was a fun, perfect, and hectic time. There were moments that could have been awkward with a photographer around, but Trevor put everyone at ease with his easy-going, friendly and professional attitude. And I couldn’t be happier with the results.
As the groom, it was important for me to capture the genuine personalities of Brenna and I, our family, and guests. Trevor did an incredible job capturing everyone’s true self. When I look at the photos, I see personalities, and not posed mechanicals. Even in set shots, Trevor made everyone feel so at ease, and his comedy certainly created genuine laughs and smiles.
The biggest thing we’d like to say about Trevor’s work is that he gets it right from the beginning. He’s so talented. So experienced. He really knows what he’s doing and it shows up in the photos long before the editing process. His use of lighting, composition . . . all of it is planned. Every choice he makes is for a reason. And we’re really just so impressed.
Seeing as how these are the images that we’ll carry with us for the rest of our life, we couldn’t be happier or more grateful to Trevor for his awesome work.
Lynsey and Scott Pun
You did excellent work on our wedding photos! I am especially pleased with the posed group and individual shots; I think you captured a variety of angles, personalities, and the feeling of love that permeated the day. Your personality works well for weddings; you are laid back and fun, but still confident and professional at all times. You were flexible with my requests, including the photo booth, all day coverage, and the books. I had a TON of shots to choose from for the books (which will be narrowed down and selected eventually!). I think you and Amanda did an awesome job with the “getting ready” photos and I love the variety of angles and emotions you captured. The photo booth shots turned out great as well and captured the mood of the reception. For the short amount of time we had for full group shots, you gave us a nice variety. I appreciated your making the photography parts of the day fun and relaxed. It was obvious that you wanted us to have the most beautiful shots and to capture the mood. You were open to suggestions while also offering guidance on poses and angles. Thank you for spending your whole day with us and getting shots of all the important moments without being “in the way.”

Trevor provided great photography services for our engagement shoot. He drove over an hour to the spot we requested. His photos were great even before editing. He was very personable and we had a lot of fun at our shoot.
Kayla Brazzell
There are so many things that we would like to express about Trevor and his professionalism. He is a very pleasant and entertaining person to work with. He is all business behind the camera, but between shots he really makes the experience fun. He is far more than just a photographer. Weddings are a busy event for the bride/groom, and Trevor was the perfect sidekick for both of us. If we mentioned that we needed anything Trevor was on it without us even asking. There are no worries about not getting enough photographs and catching every moment of the day. We hired Trevor to be there for the whole day, and he was there from the start of the day up to the point that we road off in the limousine. When we got home from the honeymoon he had two thumb drives with over 4000 top quality images ready for us to review. We couldn’t be happier with who we hired to do the job. If you’re apprehensive about who to hire, you can’t go wrong with Trevor and TR22 Photography.

Dave and Karen Cravotta
“The family photoshoot was a lot of fun, not stuffy and posing as other photo sessions tend to be. He allowed us to relax and find our own level of comfort which translated into lots of great, spontaneous photos. His energy let the kids play and be more natural, capturing some truly fantastic (and, at times, hilarious) shots. We personally enjoyed the use of the background structures and use of the environment to frame the photos. A great experience and very good for families!!”
Devin and Michelle Brennan
“You can tell very quickly the passion that Trevor has for photography. He is willing to travel to locations that some people may not think of when looking for professional pictures. His picture quality is fantastic and he is very easy to work with. If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion, I would recommend giving Trevor a call!”

To Whom it may concern,
I wanted to send an email in reference to Trevor Ruszkowski. I had the honor of working with Trevor at UT Martin for 5 years. During his time working with my team Trevor always created a fun and enthusiastic environment during our team photo shoots. Additionally, the quality of his work was unparallelled to what I had seen before form university photographers at UTM. We have life size action photos of each player hanging in our gym. These photos are important parts of our environment in our gymnasium. When fans and supporters walk in the building these life size photos are the first things they see so high quality is crucial. Trevor took these photos to a new level and did a great job of making them look crystal clear while capturing “game like” situations. Trevor will be engaging and funny during the photo shoot always making those being photographed comfortable. I would highly recommend Trevor for any photographic work you may have, especially athletic related. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.Darrin McClure

Head Women’s Basketball Coach UT Martin
We worked with Trevor for all four years at UT Martin and every year he surpassed our expectations. For media guides, posters, newspaper photos, locker room posters or “walls” Trevor created unbelievable options for us to choose and has helped make our locker room absolutely first class. The players had a great time with Trevor in all of the opportunities we had to work with him from media guides to games to NCAA tournaments. He is always open to whatever we wanted to do and got us the pictures quickly and worked with us on any changes we wanted to do. We always felt like Trevor was part of our team and couldn’t ask for much more: quality, flexible and punctual.
