If I could give Craig 10 stars, I would. He was absolutely fabulous to work with, his work is AMAZING, and we received our photos quicker than anticipated. Photography was my big "splurge" for our wedding and I am so glad we found Craig - oth...er photographers I contacted easily cost twice as much for what Craig offered and were nowhere near as pleasant to correspond with (we were planning from over 4 hours away!).
He arrived promptly (even a little early) and while we were way off track time-wise and not ready for him - he scouted the venue, took some photos, and chatted with friends and family who were helping to set up. He got some great photos of the hustle and bustle of the day - not the "getting ready" photos I had anticipated (thanks, Pinterest) - but a true representation of our crazy, amazing big day. Even as a single shooter, he managed to capture photos from seemingly every angle of the ceremony (I swear he could be in two places at once!) and was never intrusive. He managed the group shots with ease - wedding party, family, you name it - he wrangled us all quickly and efficiently.
Photo quality, price, efficiency aside - Craig really was great to work with. I hate taking posed photos (so awkward), but he made it so easy and comfortable! The children (and dog) in the bridal party weren't always cooperating, but he knew just what to do to get them in shot or entertain them while still capturing fabulous photos. I warned him early on that there were a number of small group shots I wanted over the course of the evening and, though his style is definitely more candid, he had no problem jogging over anytime I hailed him for a photo. It may be a small thing to most, but I really appreciated that he showed up looking like a wedding guest - I have seen so many in black (yoga) pants and shirt that seem so out of place and really stick out if they ended up in guest photos.
I truly cannot say enough great things about Craig and highly recommend him!
