Craig Warga Photography

favorite vendor we worked with. Leading up to the wedding, he was extremely professional and responsive, and then throughout our wedding weekend, he was truly invaluable. He was timely, entertaining, organized, creative and truly made the hours we were taking wedding pictures fun and special. He has an eye for unique picture locations and even found new, outdoor spots at our venue we didn't know existed that made our pictures so special. And his photography... WOW. I have countless favorite shots with my husband, wedding party and family. He was able to capture the spirit of the day and those special moments that I'll forever cherish. Hiring Craig was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process, and I strongly recommend him as a vendor. I am confident that he will leave you with special photography and memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Thank you for everything, Craig!

an be long and awkward, but that is definitely not the case with Craig. He made our entire wedding party feel comfortable and relaxed, which in turn make for great pictures. (Some of the groomsmen even commented on how much fun they had taking photos... shocking, I know.) We also really appreciated Craig's versatility. He takes beautiful formal pictures, and he also nails the action shots. We have some amazing dance floor pictures that will forever remind us of how much fun our wedding was. Craig posted and delivered our pictures in a very timely manner, and we have received countless compliments from friends and family. If you can't already tell, I would recommend Craig to everyone I know.

os. I can't stop looking at them! Photos were the most important decision for me and I'm so glad that we made the right choice. Craig captured moments that we forgot even happened and it was like he and his assistant weren't even there for most of the night. Not to mention he's super nice and someone who you will be happy to share your wedding day with. My whole bridal party loved him. If you love the idea of photos that capture real moments and if photos are as important to you as they were to me on my wedding day then I highly recommend him to you.

we believe same-sex marriage will soon be the law of the land. Recognizing the importance of the day in our relationship, we wanted a photographic record, but we also knew it would take a special photographer to create it. Craig Warga was a recommendation from a friend of a friend, and the moment I saw his work on his website, I knew I wanted him to shoot our civil ceremony at the New York City Clerk's Office. His portraits were exquisite (as many wedding photographers' work is), but his background is in photojournalism, so he has an acute eye for capturing all the splendid moments -- the glances, the smiles, the tears, the embraces -- that tell a story yet can come and go unnoticed if you're not paying attention. Our wedding wasn't going to be a blown-out extravaganza -- just a tiny wedding party (eight adults and three children) and lots of waiting in a government office -- and so I picked Craig feeling certain he had the ability to find a story to tell in what might have seemed humdrum in lesser hands. All my communication with Craig before the wedding was as friendly and cordial as it was professional. I could easily sense that he was someone who truly cares about his clients and their needs, and he obviously was excited about celebrating our wedding along with us. Once the big day arrived, his presence during our two hours at the city clerk's office added to the festiveness of the occasion. He was engaging without being obtrusive, and his positive energy buoyed us through the wait. He helped us to feel special, and isn't that how you're supposed to feel on your wedding day? Afterward, the photos arrived in a timely manner -- actually ahead of schedule -- and now that we've seen them, I can say without a doubt that we could not be more pleased. He delivered exactly what we were hoping for and then some. Not only do we have beautiful formal portraits, but he also has given us unguarded images of joy, tenderness, humor, delight. He saw things that we didn't see ourselves, and we have a story of our wedding that we will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Craig, for sharing your gifts so that we can remember, and relive, this special day.

nd the quality of his photos. Our formal pictures were done quickly, efficiently and he even had our bridal party laughing through it all. We got to celebrate our wedding, and he captured it all, without us having to stop and hold a pose.

choice. The day of our engagement shoot it felt so natural to have him around us shooting and knew that the shots were going to be great. The final product did not disappoint! Our friends and family continue to rave at how great the photos were - "straight out of a magazine" was my favorite comment. The day of our wedding he came with great ideas of shots and even though I have only seen our "best of album" of 94 photos, which were ready less than 2 weeks after our wedding day, I know that the whole selection of photos are amazing and I cannot thank Craig enough!

hing beautiful, ethereal, that perfectly captures the exact moment you husband saw you for the first time on the wedding day, or how radiant you looked as you walked down the aisle, then Craig Warga is the right photographer for you. Craig is not only one of the most talented photographers we have ever encountered but is also one of the most humble and genuinely kind people. I loved working with him throughout the wedding planning process and on the day of the wedding, and I would have been lost without his very organized and well-planned schedule of how to wrangle my large family into a series of group photos! He instantly made me and my husband feel at home and captured us in our most genuine and comfortable moments. He is a true artist, and every photo was perfectly framed, with the exact right background and foreground in exactly the right place and lighting. He did a great job of taking plenty of photos of our guests without losing track of getting enough photos of us together during the reception. The reaction we felt upon seeing his finished photos was the same as the feedback we got from everyone we shared them with: Craig captured the joy and love we were feeling for one another that day, by catching us at just the right moment to show our honest expressions of it. He is also incredibly generous with the photos, and gave us a lot of great options about how we wanted to print our pictures -- off of the pictage website -- in the form of a photo album -- or just a do-it-ourselves mix off of the CD he gave us with of all the shots so we could decide where and how to print them as our depleted post-wedding budget got back up to normal levels. Our friends and family are blown away by how fantastic our photos are, and how they can't choose between them. We can’t recommend Craig enough.
