We were amazed at the quality of Craig's work, and he had to have been our easiest vendor to work with. We got married in Spring Lake, MI but live in Dallas, TX, so we had to rely on phone calls and email communication. But even though we only had one face to face meeting with him prior to our session, we felt as comfortable as could be. He offered us an engagement session and we considered flying him down to Dallas to do so, but time to do so just didn't work out. We asked him for a "quick" engagement session 5 days before our wedding when we got into town just to get a few shots to display at the wedding, and he willingly agreed. This "quick" session turned into 4 hours because he is the type of person that if he’s going to do it, he’s giving 100%. He also edited our photos, printed a few large prints for our ceremony and hand delivered them to our rehearsal the day before. Talk about going the extra mile.

Craig handled the unexpected weather on our wedding day perfectly. He already had a covered plan B spotted out for our family pictures if it did rain (and it did) on our outdoor ceremony, and everybody agreed that his plan B location looked even better than our original location that we had picked out would have looked. Eventually, the rain let up and we captured great bridal party pictures on the beach and Grand Haven pier. Craig even insisted on staying a little longer than the agreed time period just to capture the special moment of the city’s festival fireworks that were shooting off 100 yards from us that night. It made for the best closing pictures. To put the cherry on the top, our wedding was chosen to be marketed as our venues “2012 Signature Wedding” in all of their publications and website. Thanks to the awesome work of Craig and all our vendors.

I highly recommend Craig Watson Photography, you definitely get what you pay for.

p.s. Lindsey was awesome too! ;)

Since we had to travel for our wedding, we didn't have all that much time to scout locations and come up with ideas for photos. In fact we saw the venue for the first time the day that we met Craig! Craig is professional and so creative. He came up with fantastic ideas and found great locations. Our photos turned out more wonderful than I could have ever hoped for and Craig was such a pleasure to work with. A+++

Craig has what it takes to capture all of the perfect moments! When your with Craig you feel more like a friend than a client! would reccomend his work to anyone!

Even though he is based out of Michigan, Craig is willing to photograph in Chicago with no extra charges. He does an amazing job and his photographs are truly works of art. He's not one of those "in your face" photographers, there were many times we didn't realize he was around. Craig is very professional and is willing to work with one's budget and ideas. I highly recommend him to anybody I know.

Hiring Craig Watson Photography was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Craig was so personable the first time we met and really took the time to get to know us in order to understand what we are all about and how to capture our style and personalities.
Craig and his assistants made us feel incredibly special on our wedding day and went the extra mile to make the day better that we could have ever imagined. Craig was very relaxed and let us be ourselves but was also able to take control and direct the wedding party when needed to get some really great shots. The sense of style and way of capturing moments are unlike any we have ever seen. We have received so many compliments from our bridal party, family and friends on the quality of their work.
There is so much going on during the wedding ceremony and reception it is wonderful to have beautiful photographs to help reminisce about the entire event. Thanks for helping to make our wedding day last forever!

Craig was a true professional to work with. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Not only do we appreciate the quality of the work, but also how hard he worked the day of the event. He really paid attention during our initial meeetings and captured everything important to us the day of the event. We love the pictures and we recommend Craig to everyone we know getting married.

In short, Craig is fantastic.

Tony and I have so many beautiful pictures from our engagement session and our wedding. Craig was able to capture the little moments and the essence of our day perfectly, and we couldn't be more thankful.

Craig not only provides captivating photos, but an amazing sense of professionalism and reliability. I never once worried about what Craig was doing, we felt at ease the whole time and the day went by seamlessly. He follows the agenda that is planned, but stops to take pictures along the way when appropriate. I never felt rushed or out of place, the pictures just flowed beautifully.

The turn around time on the pictures was very quick, and we were able to get over one thousand beautiful pictures on DVD. We can't wait to create a photo album from the designs he has to offer. The value for having Craig shoot our day outweighs the cost exponentially.

I will treasure these pictures and the friendship that we formed with Craig forever. We are truly happy to have chosen him to be a part of our big day and only wish we had a picture of us with him in it! :-)

Craig was wonderful. He was friendly and professional. He put me at ease and produced amazing photos. I would not have changed one thing about the photography!

Craig and his assistant were amazing! Their photos are phenomenal, he knew what he wanted, and made things move smoothly during our very limited time for photos. He dealt with my venues and family both very professionally. He was pleasant to have around, and yet was not so "in your face" or too close for comfort. EVERYONE complimented both his style that night and his photographs.
They work quickly, and are VERY much worth the investment!!

Craig is an amazing photographer and worked with us to provide exactly the kind of photographs we wanted of our wedding. His photojournalistic approach meant that our photos weren't all just the standard staged shots, but also candid shots of the event. More than just documenting the event, Craig's photos of our wedding tell the story of the day - a story we relive every time we look through the photobook he put together for us.
