Craig understood exactly what we wanted and did an amazing.

We wanted non-standard wedding photography, like a reportage style - and Craig just instantly got it, and delivered some amazing still memories of an incredible night. He was communicative in the run up, didn't bat an eyelid when we changed the start time, and got us a sample of the full set set really soon, followed by a folder full of full-res images afterwards.

Capture moments that are real

Craig was professional throughout the day. In this instant being a wallflower was a good thing and he blended into the crowd. Beautiful moments captured forever!

Photographer

A real gent, incredibly flexible and kind. I'm a photographer myself, so it was great to discuss technical aspects of what we wanted. We also hate having our photo taken. Craig's relaxed but professional approach allowed us to froget the camera and enjoy the day. Our day couldn't have been better, and he was a big help in making that happen. 10/10 would recommend!

True excellence

Craig was truly excellent throughout our entire experience.
Help us feel very relaxed in front of the camera and was so creative in creating great shots. Great with all our guests it more then we could have hoped for.
We are beyond happy with all our final photos, fast turn around and well edited.
Could not recommend Craig enough!

Thank you Craig!

It's hard to put into words just how great Craig is. He's the perfect balance of laid back, professional and highly skilled in what he does. Right from our initial chat with him, we knew he was a fantastic fit for us. We especially liked how Craig shared our taste of an 'unstaged' approach to documenting our wedding; instead capturing moments as they happened, which felt so natural. Craig is just so friendly, he really felt like another guest at our wedding.

After our wedding, during the editing process, Craig would run things past us to really make sure we loved the final pieces. We are so incredibly happy with the final result, full of so many beautiful pictures that we will truly cherish forever.

Thank you Craig!

Great bloke, fabulous photos!

Craig was the perfect fit for our London wedding. We wanted someone to capture the essence of the day without it being posed or staged & Craig got it completely. On the day, he managed to capture everything & everyone yet still blended into the background. He is really lovely guy (so much so, our guests thought he was an old friend of ours!) and we couldn't be happier with the photos. Thanks Craig!

Beautiful photography

Craig was absolutely fantastic - he met with us beforehand and kept in contact to discuss our style, prepared by scouting out different locations near the wedding venue and reception, and our guests loved him. We're so so pleased with the outcomes! We loved how relaxed he was on the day and just slotted in without any direction. Perfect for us.

Fantastic photos and value!

We hired Craig to do our engagement photoshoot in London and we'd absolutely recommend him for other couples. Craig responded really quickly after the initial inquiry and was incredibly friendly and flexible. On the day, he was really relaxed while of course also being professional and we had a great time chatting while we did the photos. He helped us feel relaxed, because we were a bit nervous, and the photos turned out beautifully! We'll be using them for our wedding website and invitations :)

Highly recommended

Craig photographed our outdoor wedding and was excellent from start to finish. We wanted the shots to all be natural rather than staged and we are so happy with the result and the super fast turnaround! Craig kept in touch throughout the editing process to make sure we were happy with everything and was an absolute pleasure to have there on the day (several people thought he was a friend of ours :)).

Thank you Craig!

Excellent!

Loved working with Craig! We didn’t want any ‘staged shots’, just people having a great time and he gave us some brilliant pictures. All our guests said what a relaxed and friendly guy he was. I’m really really pleased we asked him to be our photographer, he captured our day beautifully.

Highly recommended

Craig was a perfect choice to document our wedding and was totally suited to our venue at The Sekforde in Clerkenwell. A real character himself, and instinctively knew what we wanted and how to do it. He captured all of the key moments and much more without the need for endless staged portraits or group shots. Great value too with 550 photos provided for sharing, and also in high resolution for printing. The vintage motorbike/sidecar was an unexpected bonus and popular with guests! Thank you for capturing such great moments of a truly wonderful day - we very much viewed you as one of our wedding guests on the day.

Special moments and memories

Craig did an absolutely amazing job with capturing all the moments and memories of our wedding day! He was brilliant in his support prior to the day, meeting and using his expertise to view the venues in preparation. And on the day itself he was so considerate and extremely professional throughout, blending in subtly yet managing to capture every moment we wanted.

We are so happy with the photos he took- he has a real gift for capturing natural moments, and we would highly recommend his services to any and everyone! Thanks Craig!

Wedding - August 2022

Craig shot our wedding in August and we can’t thank him enough for the incredible job he did.

We felt quite strongly about having mostly candid, “in the moment” shots, and he did an excellent job of capturing those moments.

He made us feel incredibly relaxed and went about his job, while also being really engaging with the guests and fitting right in like one of the wedding party! Huge thanks again, Craig.
