So, you’ve been looking at a few photographers. Let me help you out:

  • I’m relaxed. I love being around people and I have fun at your wedding. I know if I’m having fun, my couple is relaxed and having fun, and it will show in your photos. I can chill out and go with the groove because I’m always prepared. I get excited about the unexpected (which equals unexpected photos!), and I see and experience your wedding day for what it’s supposed to be: a fun happy day.
  • A quick turn around – I deliver your final photos to you quickly, normally under 2 weeks.
  • Off on your honeymoon, family abroad, the unrelenting march of social media: I guarantee you a sneak peek less than 48 hours after I leave your event. That’s a few of my favourite photos you can easily share right away to supersede those selfies your guests chucked up without your permission.
  • After I’ve delivered your photos to you, if there’s anything at all you’d like to discuss retouching, I will revisit images upon request. This is included in my fee and can range from requesting a black and white version of an image to removing someone’s tattoo from a key photo. I limit this to 3 images within 4 weeks of your event and offer it in place of ‘proofing’. This approach is part of my lean workflow.
  • No hidden surprises – none of your photos will arrive watermarked, none of your photos will be held ransom, and there’s no limit on how many photos I’ll provide (conversely, I don’t target a number of images either). You will be able to download and keep all full resolution images, and use without any copyright restrictions. I don’t have any hidden fees or upsells for you to worry about. I capture your photos and I digitally provide you everything I’m happy to give you! It’s all part of the service; the fee we agree does not change unless you request a variation to my service or I have specified expenses to cover anything falling outside of the scope above.

Did I mention my wife and I also provide wedding floristry? Check out Hart & Flowers and book both photography and floristry from us for a discount.

Definitely rating Craig a 5 start. He was amazing at my daughter's first birthday party. He was very professional, he moved like a wind to make sure he captures everyone at the party. My husband and I will definitely recommend Craig for his wonderful services, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer, he's the best.

Craig was fantastic for us on our wedding reception day! We split up our ceremony and reception on different days and made a point to ask Craig to try to capture a photo with each one of our guests as it meant a lot to us to have that special record of who was with us on that momentous occasion as we missed out on some from the ceremony day. Well, Craig delivered! One thing we loved is that he isn't stingy with the number of photos that you get by capping it at a certain amount and then demanding more money for extras. We got SO MANY! He's also super friendly, easy to work with, works well under pressure and was happy to adjust anything we wanted tweaked. The quality has been excellent and we would happily ask Craig to photograph other special events for us in the future 🙂 You honestly barely notice he's there working because he blends in and works his magic whilst not intruding or demanding people pose for photos so we got loads of gorgeous natural shots of our guests having a great time!! Thank you so much Craig!! Also his wife is a talented florist so that's worth looking into if you want a florist too !

Craig is an absolute delight to work with. He came and took photos of our newborn. He was really easy to work with and a complete natural with our baby. Couldn't ask for better.

Craig was awesome at our party that we hosted for a 50th birthday. He was prompt, kind, patient and professional on the day. The quality of his work and images were beyond our expectations, his prices are very affordable for the quality we received, our images are beautiful! Great communication prior to our event and Craig was very easy to get a ahold of! Would 100% hire Craig for our next event!
