    Craig was a pleasure to do business with from day one! His friendly, down-to-earth nature made him the perfect photographer for our laid-back backyard wedding. He was able to get shots of even the most stubborn camera-dodging folks at our wedding. His experienced eye got us some amazing shots of our family and friends, and of all the decorations at our wedding too! I would absolutely recommend Craig Norton's professional, and prompt services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer...

    Craig was an absolute pleasure to work with! He captured every moment exquisitely. He was extremely flexible and made sure that he didn't miss anything. We couldn't be happier with our photos.

    I highly recommend Craig for your wedding photography. He and the other photographer Jean captured some beautiful moments on our wedding day. We have so many photos to choose from and his online gallery makes it easy to glance through. He also has very flexible options for ordering photos. I have not chosen my photos yet, but I get excited every time I look through our online gallery.

    Professionally, Craig and Jean were both very easy to work with. They took some wonderful photos without getting in the way. The price was also very fair. I am really glad Craig and Jean were there for my wedding day.

    Craig and his assistant were wonderful! The pictures were beautiful, and we appreciated that they preferred to 'capture the moment' rather than work from pre-planned lists- that took some pressure off of us and made for some really special photos. They were very relaxed the day of the wedding, and continue to be very helpful with ordering photos, designing our album, etc. I would highly recommend Craig!

    We used Craig Norton for our wedding and he was wonderful to work with. He was very professional, easy to talk to, and never made us feel like there was any pressure to have things a certain way. He was willing to work with our schedule and he made sure to get every shot we wanted that day. He didn't miss any photo opportunities and our pictures and albums are more than we had hoped for. He also had his daughter with him and she did a wonderful job as well and is very talented. They did a great job at blending in with the crowd and we barely knew they were there. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone as their wedding photographer.

    I had such a positive experience using Craig Norton Photography for my wedding last fall. I came across him via word of mouth -- a friend of a friend knew someone that used him, etc. -- and am so glad I did. I was originally talking to another photographer but was put off by the 10-page contract I had to sign and the very rigid rules about what I could do with the photos. Craig was different -- very laid back and flexible about usage rights, and very easy to talk to.

    In terms of the photos themselves, I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. My only problem was deciding which ones to frame! He and his partner captured so many great moments. They also sent us the photos extremely quickly. The very next day we had a link to view some of the highlights, and within a couple of weeks we could view the entire gallery. Some photographers take MONTHS to get you the photos, so this was another major selling point for us.

    My only advice to brides would be to make sure you think about who you want to get photos with during the reception and make that clear to the photographers ahead of time. Aside from immediate family, I didn't really think about photos with other family members and somehow got through the night without any shots with my cousins. Things just get so hectic. That wasn't by fault of the photographers, just something to keep in mind.

    I highly recommend Craig Norton Photography for weddings and would use him again in a heartbeat.

    Craig Norton did an incredible job capturing the special moments of our wedding! From the first phone call with Craig to the last photo taken on our wedding day he paid attention to detail , was easy to work with,and understood our needs. I have already recommended Craig to others, and will continue to do so!

    Craig Norton did an outstanding job photographing our wedding in 2012! I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Over two years later, I very often find myself looking at his photos with joy. He captured our most precious moments without ever being intrusive. He also worked within our budget, listened to exactly what we wanted without trying to "upsell" us, and was more flexible than any photographer I've ever hired. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    Craig seemed helpful and prompt throughout the engagement phase and we received a lot of photos that we liked. As the wedding approached we asked to remove the book he makes from the options because it was a lot of money and someone was making one for us. He seemed to be alright with that although he became a little more difficult after. We had a list of just 10 photos that we really wanted at the wedding but during the wedding he only took one. And that one was because my wife (the bride) went out of her way to push him to take it. During the wedding he was not a leading photographer and expected us to have all the ideas. When we received the disc with the hi res and low res photos, there were many photos that I imagine no self respecting photographer would be proud of. Craig put up a good front but if you don't get all his options and try to be thrifty it seems like you risk getting a poor product. I gave a 2 for quality purely because the engagement pictures were good.

    Craig Norton Photography's reply:

    I'm very sorry you are disappointed with our work. I wish you had expressed your concerns directly with me because they are based on a misunderstanding of how we operate. As you can see clearly from the description on my web site and in our discussions, we offer a candid, journalistic style of photography that doesn't have a lot of posing and direction. Our style is not for everyone and I'm very sorry to disappoint you.
