We couldn't be happier that we booked Craig. He took amazing photos that capture the spirit of our wedding perfectly and are exactly what we asked for - people having a great time, rather than posed / orchestrated shots. We were also chuffed with more than just the photos; he was really efficient and great to deal with before, during and after the wedding day. Highly recommend.

Craig photographed our autumn wedding in October 2018 and we are absolutely thrilled with the pictures he produced- just beautiful!! He has such an amazing talent at capturing precious moments and places that we feel most photographers may just miss. His photographic style feels modern and crisp, yet totally timeless so Im sure well be proudly displaying our photos for our lifetime to come! In terms of his contact pre and post- he was very professional and quick to come back to us. Working with us, he made us feel very relaxed and just as though we were working with a close friend - so

Craigs wedding photography is truly breathtaking! His experience is clear to see, capturing shots throughout our special day that we didnt even know were possible. Its easy to find a photographer who just takes a series of photos, but Craigs work is so much more than this. Each and every shot has reason and emotion behind it and forms part of a story which takes you back to that exact moment.
Booking Craig for our wedding was without a doubt the single best decision we made.
