My wedding at Grand Cascades Lodge in Hamburg, NJ, was a rock n roll glamour wedding, and Craig went all the way there with us. I know I shouldn't be writing a review before I see the photos, but I just know he is going to deliver a really spe...cial product that we'll treasure forever!
Craig's amazing sense of space, his spontaneous journalistic photo style, and great sense of humor is what drew me to his company in the first place. He is definitely pricey, but if he digs the vibe of your wedding, he will throw in some great deals because he knows he'll have some opportunities for really cool shots.
If you are looking for traditional, super-formal shots & ridiculous glamour Photoshopping, or lighting tricks, Craig is not your guy. He captures real beauty and true-to-life, authentic moments. He and his second shooter Michael (he has others on his staff who are all amazing) are pros at sneaking quietly around, snapping everyone and everything at the most snappable time.
If you're down for first-looks (aka bride reveals her outfit to the groom before the ceremony) and taking all the family and bridal party pics first, Craig is also your guy. He comes with an info sheet of all the necessary formal portraits and snaps them all in a flash (no pun intended). He is very sensitive to family dynamics, and he makes sure everyone gets the shots they want. As for the main couple, he pulled us away a few times pre and post-ceremony, as well as post-reception, and captured romantic, fun, and unique shots that definitely reflected how we were feeling together at every moment.
My favorite set of photos for sure was the short session we did with our band. All the guys were groomsmen in our wedding, so I threw on a white transparent faux-latex biker jacket and bedazzled Lennon shades, and we did some awesome walking shots and badass posed photos.
Needless to say, I cannot wait for the flash drive, 100-page brag book, and all the other goodies he'll deliver to us shortly. (Don't worry, he can make you a traditional album if you want one) He was excellent!!
