If you don't read my entire review, please at least read this: I am eternally grateful to have had the opportunity for John and Elizabeth Craig to photograph our wedding day. The Craigs are every bride's dream vendor; they deliver a fantastic product for a reasonable price, all while being completely professional, super responsive, flexible, fun, and all-around amazing people!

First, the photos! I am IN LOVE with our wedding photos! I look at them every day and wonder how the Craigs were able to get such amazing photographs out of the two most un-photogenic people ever! I normally dread having my picture taken, but they made everyone feel so comfortable and we all had a blast! Not only did the pictures turn out great, but we received the digital images only a few weeks after the wedding (weeks!! most photographers take MONTHS!), plus two beautiful slide shows that they put together that still bring tears to my eyes every time I watch them! The Craigs worked really hard to get us the photos that we so desperately wanted to see as quickly as possible.

One of the greatest things about the Craigs is that they will happily do everything in their power to make your wedding day easier and better! They helped us choose locations for our wedding party photos (neither myself nor my husband know downtown Pittsburgh too well), helped us put together a timeline of pre-wedding events (we had no clue how long wedding party photos should take), agreed to split up so that John could photograph the men getting ready and Elizabeth could photograph the women getting ready 10 miles away, suggested that we take a walk and some photographs at nearby Station Square when we realized we were WAY ahead of schedule (not part of our timeline, but so glad we did!), ran out into traffic with rest of the wedding party to get photos on the Smithfield bridge, ... the list goes on and on. Elizabeth literally fed me my lunch while I was getting my hair done and my hands were busy with last-minute wedding crafts, no joke! Bottom line -- they really care about making sure your wedding day as perfect as it possibly can be. What more could you ask for?

As helpful as the Craigs were up until our ceremony started, that's where it ended. Once they went into stealthy photographer/ninja mode, they basically became invisible for the remainder of the night... but I know they were there because there are photos to prove it! I still don't understand how they managed to capture every moment at both the ceremony and reception without getting in anyone's way, but they did!

All in all, the #1 best decision that I made through this whole crazy wedding experience was marrying my husband. The #2 best was hiring the Craigs to photograph our wedding day. And now that the wedding is over, I am most certainly planning to asking the Craigs to photograph every other significant event that happens in our lives... starting with booking a boudoir session with Elizabeth's once I get brave enough! ;)
