I would HIGHLY recommend this photographer. They are THE BEST in Pittsburgh: quality, service, personalbility. They are truly a pleasure to work with, and that helps on such a crazy day!

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! ;)

John and Elizabeth were fabulous. My photographer was something that was my top priority. I didn't even think about my dress until I knew who our photographer was going to be. My husband and I looked at around 30 different photographers from all over the state of PA. We looked at Craig Photography because we liked their style. They did a cousin of mine's wedding and their pictures were amazing. They were out of our budget range at first, but we decided to book them because we knew we would get quality pictures, and that was more important to us than almost anything. We were so satisfied with the pictures that John and Elizabeth took. They did an engagement session with us and were wonderful. Not only are they phenomenal photographers, but they are great people as well. They are real, genuine, artistic, and creative people who see beauty everywhere. We got so many amazing pictures, and their service was fabulous. I would recommend Craig photography to anyone, and would use them again (and again!)

Elizabeth and John were FABULOUS to work with! Their work is absolutely phenomenal, my pictures from wedding are flawless and i swear there is not one and i mean not one bad picture. I found them on the knot.com and saw they won awards for best photography. I called them immediately and set up an appointment. I was sold the moment i met Elizabeth. She is the sweetest most down to earth and professional person. She had a spectacular layout of previous wedding photography albums to browse through..... i didn't call anyone else nor do anymore research. I never once had to search for her and john they were always on top of everything. And they got every single moment possible captured on their cameras. So if you are in search for a photographer i highly recommend them!!!!! I couldnt be any happier!! love you guys!!!! Patrice:)

You rock Patrice! We had such a blast with you guys! :)You rock Patrice! We had such a blast with you guys! :)

Elizabeth and John were fantastic on so many levels. Elizabeth was the first photographer we met with. I was drawn to their photos from the website..Who wouldn't be?? Immediately after meeting her my then fiance said "You want to hire them don't you, because I do". We knew after only spending a few minutes that she was the person we wanted to take our photos! She was amazing so we assumed her husband would be equally as amazing, which proved to be true! We met John during out engagement session in the strip and it was fabulous! I loved every single picture and they captured the love and intentsity between us that I wanted to save in a picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but their photos are worth so much more. When it came time for our wedding they proved me wrong, I didn't think I could become more impressed then I already was with them, but I certainly was blown away. I had my wedding photos less than two days after the big day, and for a bride that was the best gift I could ask for. I looked through more than 900 photos immediately. I fell in love with photo after photo. My husband does not smile using his teeth ever, and they captured him in the pure real big teeth happy smile that I try so hard to capture on camera. You can see the love between us, the excitement in our guests eyes, and the joy and sense of pride illuminating from our parents. Elizabeth and John captured every moment from our wedding day perfectly, our wedding story is told from our photos and if you weren't there you can sense the emotions of the day just from our photos. Elizabeth was so great that even when the wedding gift I got for my husband was stolen (yes during our wedding) she helped me figure it out and replaced it. I can say so much more about the quality of their photos, their responsiveness, and their professionalism. They made me comfortable and our guests. If you are having a wedding and they are not your photographer, you may want to reconsider :) Good luck wedding planning and if you're smart you'll choose Craig-Photography!

Elizabeth and John are AMAZING!!!! They did an engagement session as well as our wedding photographs and were nothing but the absolute best on both occasions. Not only do they take amazing pictures, but they make you feel incredibly comfortable in all the mayhem that a wedding day can bring. They blend seamlessly into the background, but are still able to capture so many wonderful memories (not to mention they photographed our outdoor ceremony on one of the hottest days of the year with no complaints:)). We also received our photos shortly after we returned from our honeymoon - very impressed! Thank you Elizabeth and John!!!

There is no way for me to express in words just how wonderful Elizabeth and John are, both as photographers and as people. To make a long story short, I found out, the morning of my wedding, that my original photographer was not going to show; basically took the money and ran. With a quick phone call from my DJ to Elizabeth and John, they were packed up and on their way to my wedding venue. My husband and I are extremely fortunate and blessed that such an amazing pair like Elizabeth and John happened to be free that day. It was a real blessing in disguise that my original photographer didn't show. I would consider Craig Photography the premier photographers in the Pittsburgh area. They were SUPER nice and very professional. All of the guests were commenting on how great they were. I will recommend them to anyone that I know who's getting married.

After meeting with 3 different photographers and not being completely satisfied, we discovered Craig Photography--and we are SO glad that we did!! Elizabeth and John are amazing photographers and people! They photographed a family portrait session for us and our entire wedding day. Elizabeth and John are both flexible, fun, easy going, creative, and professional people--and they completely compliment each other, which enabled them to capture every moment of our wedding day. We enjoyed working and talking with Elizabeth and John leading up to and on our wedding day, and our pictures turned out awesome! Many of our friends and family have commented on the friendliness and professionalism of the Craigs on the wedding day, and the wonderful pictures--all 1300 of them! Elizabeth and John are scheduled to photograph my brother's wedding next year.

We love Craig Photography! Elizabeth was the first photographer we met with, and the last. We were drawn to Craig Photography from the amazing photos on their website, but we chose them because Elizabeth has such an amazing personality (we didn’t meet Jon initially, but he’s great too!) and we knew she was the right person to photograph our wedding. A few months before our wedding we did an engagement session with Elizabeth. It was a lot of fun and a great way to get to know Elizabeth a bit before the big day. Elizabeth also helped us create an awesome album from the engagement photos that served as a guest book for the wedding. Throughout the process, she was great about answering the phone and returning calls and emails. On our actual wedding day, Elizabeth and Jon were great. They were relaxed, non-intrusive and did such a great job handling all of the requisite family photos. And of course, we LOVE our photos – and so do all of our guests! We would highly recommend Craig Photography to any bride and groom.

Craig photography was great for our wedding! Planning from out of town was hard, and Elizabeth made it easy for us. We met with her once and the decision on who to go to was simple - they not only provided us BEAUTIFUL photos, but helped to change our plans the day before making it less stressful for me. I was concerned with traffic and the weather, and was not familiar with any places nearby to take our photos. Elizabeth made a few suggestions, and we ended up going there. The pictures turned out great, I would recommend them to anyone!

We worked with John and ELizabeth about a month ago for our wedding. They were great and my new wife and I are very pleased with the outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is in need of talented professional photography.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Craig Photography! I knew from the beginning of my wedding planning that who we chose as our photographer was going to be one of the most important decisions we made. From the moment I met Elizabeth I just felt so at ease, as she is not only extremely professional, but she makes you feel like your best friend too. Leading up to our wedding, she was always very responsive when I had questions and emails for her (and I had a lot!), even helping me with other random wedding questions not pertaining to photography and giving great suggestions for a few other vendors, etc. On the day of the wedding, her wonderful personality helped everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Most importantly, our wedding pictures came out gorgeous and we have received so many compliments on the photos. We couldn’t have been happier. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend anyone to use Craig Photography.

Being a photographer who got their start wedding planning, weddings are my life. When it was time for my OWN wedding I knew that my number one priority was stellar photographs. John and Elizabeth instantly came to mind. There is something so incredible about a husband-wife team, not to mention THIS team in particular really stole my heart with their shooting style and personalities. Our wedding photos will be a constant reminder of our truly special and emotional day and I couldnt have asked for any better than what Craig Photography provided to us. I would absolutely recommend the Craigs for every bride and groom

We had both Elizabeth and John for our wedding in November 2010 and they were absolutely amazing. They were extremely nice and very professional. It was great to have two professional photographers for such a reasonable price (not one photographer and one assistant like many others offer). For our portraits of us and the bridal party, while everyone was looking at Elizabeth for pictures, John was in the background taking shots from other angles. He also took some candid photos while we weren't paying attention to him that turned out really well. At the reception it was great to have both of them floating around to capture pictures of everyone and to have pictures from two different angles. Some of my friends who had different photographers for their wedding complained that the photographer took so many pictures but only gave them a fraction of what they took. With Elizabeth and John, I didn't feel like anything was missing. If we wanted a specific picture they made sure they got it. They had great ideas for the best places to take pictures that I would have never thought of. We got so many pictures back and they were all amazing. We received so many compliments on them. They even impressed my mother-in-law, which is nearly impossible. They were so down to earth and I was so comfortable around them and in front of the camera. It was great that they were husband and wife, I think it made our day that much more special. It was so cute to see them holding hands while they were walking to different locations. I only wish I got a picture of it. My husband and I were moving overseas less than 2 weeks after our wedding and Elizabeth and John worked all through the week of thanksgiving to get our pictures back to us before we left. I have absolutely no regrets about hiring them and would definitely recommend them. You really won't find another two photographers this good for such a good price.
