About

Award Winning Photographer and Designer Crede Haskins Calhoun II is the photographer at Vision Quest Studios. His over 25 years of varied commercial advertising illustration photography has equipped him well for his almost 20 years as a wedding photographer. Challenging locations and lighting is no problem and Crede's years of editorial magazine photography and adventure photography for publications such Audubon, Nation Geographic Traveller, and Outside as well commercial brochure work for the finest resorts in his Mid-Atlantic region has taught him the nuances of proper color and dramatic well composed imagery.

Shooting weddings and commercial jobs from Pittsburgh, PA, to Washington DC. He primarily works at destination venues such as Deep Creek Lake, and Rocky Gap Resorts, MD, and Nemacolin Woodlands and Seven Springs PA, as well as most of West Virginia, incuding Berkley Springs and the Greenbrier.

My style is a blend of contemporary photo journalism along with a timeless and classic portrait sensibility. I have fun with brides and grooms as well as your guests. I am adventurous and athletic so going that extra mile an effort for that great image is no problem for me. I'll work closely with you in understanding what you are looking for and then exceed your expectations.

Crede was wonderful to work with for my wedding. Prior to the wedding day, he was very responsive to all of my questions, and on the day of the wedding, he did a wonderful job of being present and capturing the moment but not being intrusive as the event went along. After the wedding, I found that I needed some photos ahead of when we had agreed that I would receive the images, and Crede was very accommodating to this unexpected request. And when I did receive all the photos, I was absolutely thrilled with the images and the vast amount he gave me. Very happy to recommend Crede!

Crede was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was on time, professional, non-intrusive, and took fabulous pictures. We have so many picture to go through and all of them are frame worthy, no idea how I will only pick a few to hang up. I recommend Crede to anyone!

We got married at Deep Creek, which was several hours away from where we live, so we were not able to meet all our vendors before booking them. All of Crede's review are great and he was recommended by our venue, so I didn't mind going with someone we hadn't met, because they were vouching for him. I also liked that he has photographed our venue before, knew the good spots, knew how lighting would be, etc.

We talked with Crede over the phone and made our deposit, we didn't actually get to meet until a few months before the wedding. He is so kind, warm and welcoming. We felt very comfortable with him. We met him at his studio and he showed us past weddings he had done and we talked about what we liked and were going for. Crede is the only photographer for his company and he is the one who will be doing your wedding. There are other companies that you meet one person and then they send other inexperienced photographers out for your wedding. He did not have a second photographer and that was fine with us. He was constantly moving and didn't stop taking pictures.

I agree with everything the other reviewers said about Crede's style and professionalism. He also does commercial photography and really knows his stuff when it comes to lighting, framing and after editing. He was full of ideas for poses. He knew which spots to go to on the property, exactly where to stand so the light hit us right, where to look and how to position ourselves. He also took our suggestions of scenery that we wanted to incorporate and then came up with creative ways to do it. His passion was obvious and he is a real artist in setting up the photos. My parents were impressed with his energy in taking the pictures, at one point he was laying on his back on the dance floor, Another he was totally in the bushes to get the perfect angle of us for the picture.

Crede sent me a few pictures a couple days after the ceremony. They look gorgeous and I can't wait to see the rest.
