About this vendor
Hi, I'm Craig!
The first time I picked up a video camera I was 10 years old making home movies in my basement with friends. Today, I enjoy capturing everything from weddings to overseas adventures while still having that excitement of storytelling I had when I was younger. I create timeless wedding videos by capturing the experience of marriage in an authentic way. My videos are inspired by real moments, emotions and people.

I had the pleasure of booking Craig for my 9.23.23 wedding. From the initial phone conversation and weeks leading up to the big day, he was absolutely amazing to work with! The day of, him and his team were very professional and captured the most perfect moments. Craig even went above and beyond creating a small “funny” video of my husband dropping my wedding band as he put it on my finger! The video is now something we can look back on and laugh about. After receiving my video, there were a few parts of my day that I wanted to add, Craig did not hesitate and quickly made the updates. We couldn’t have been happier with the final result! :)
Craig was the best! He was so easy to work with and captured our day and all of the emotions so perfectly. He was super chill and fun to have around. We love watching our video back. The video camera never felt in our faces, it was easy to forget it was there but he captured everything we wanted so beautifully. He was quick to get our video back, it only took about 6 weeks! Would highly recommend Craig James to anyone wanting a videographer!!
Craig is such a nice, easy going videographer and is so fantastic at capturing genuine moments. He created a short film for us and it was my favorite thing I have ever watched! Craig truly is amazing at what he does and if you are unsure of hiring a videographer for your big day, definitely book him! I highly recommend!
Craig is the BEST! He was so easy to work with from day 1...even with our plans constantly changing. He was understanding, kind and flexible. Craig was so personable, so creative and we had a blast with him the day of the wedding. His work so beautifully showed the story of our day. He is so talented. We have watched our highlight video over and over again. We will cherish our highlight video and documentary edit forever!
Like many 2020 brides, my husband and I postponed our large wedding reception until next year and held a small ceremony and dinner on our original date. Craig was recommended by our photographer for our original date and we also knew we wanted to have him for our small ceremony. Craig is the nicest guy and literally always had a smile on his face. (And I could tell even with a mask on the whole time! He smiles with his eyes!). Not only did the day move flawlessly, Craig sent us our ceremony and first look footage within 1 week of our wedding. He also edited and sent us our highlight video in less than 2 weeks! He did an incredible job and we are so happy we had him there to capture our amazing day. I have watched the highlight video so many times and it will be treasured forever. We can’t wait to have him there for our larger reception next year.
From our initial meeting, Craig was a pleasure to work with. He was a referral from Heather (never there yet photography). He is talented, kind and great at what he does. We had a backyard wedding on 10/24- Craig captured the most beautiful moments on video and drone footage. His assistant, Stephanie did a fantastic job as well. We received our short film and I was blown away. It was edited just perfectly and had a classy/elegant touch. If you’re looking for a down to earth, cool, truly talents videographer look no further and book Craig for your wedding/event!!
Craig is precious! He’s personable yet professional, creative, detail oriented, and the final result is amazing! We initially met at Starbucks to discuss everything and we instantly clicked feeling like we’ve been friends for a long time. He takes notes of the bride and groom preferences/personalities to get a feel for what you’re all about and somehow it translates into his work! During the big day, he is timely, presents well, and teams up with the photographer! He gets in all the little details from various angles and perspectives. Even at times Craig fades into the background which enables capturing the most natural moments. Since our church didn’t allow our vows to be read during the ceremony, he had the great idea to record us at the end of the night with his light set up and disguised microphones! He is willing to work long hours to make sure he gets everything for the film. Hands down he is awesome and would highly recommend!
We hired Craig for our back yard wedding this summer, and it was such a good decision! With everything so crazy right now, we were not sure if needed to spend the money on a videographer.....but we did and we do not regret it at all! Craig was so professional and kind. He worked with our photographer flawlessly and together they got some amazing shots...in my backyard! He had such a calm relaxing personality that really put my mind at ease, and I really wanted to thank him for that. We got the trailer recently, and we can't stop watching it. It makes us feel like we have our very own movie! Thank you again Craig, we will be recommending you to all our family and friends!
Craig was an amazing videographer for my husband and I to work with. He was always very prompt with responses and his pricing was very reasonable. Not only was he a pleasure to work with the day of our wedding and the days leading up to it with planning, but his final product left us speechless. It was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend.
I got my highlight 4 weeks after my wedding and I was absolutely in love. The video was everything we wanted and we even got the full length video because we loved it so much. Craig was professional, amazing to work with and he definitely rolled with all of the weather issues we had that day. So happy!!! He made the video process so enjoyable.
