Benjamin Sent on 11/13/2024Great for Catholic Weddings!
Craig Spiering is a good man and an excellent photographer. We highly recommend him for any wedding, especially Catholic ones. Craig understands the liturgy inside and out and will not intrude on the Mass proceedings.
In portraiture, Mr. Spiering's experience really shone in how comfortable he made us, our bridal party, and our families through the whole process. We highly recommend him! -

Craig Spiering was amazing! I had a wedding on June 1st and one of my friends recommended him to me as a photographer a few months before my wedding. I was completely satisfied with his professionalism, experience, and good communication.
Craig is a wonderful communicator and a professional at wedding photography. He asked me for the addresses and times for the wedding and reception a month or two ahead of time, so that I would not have to worry about giving him all the information he needed right before the wedding when a hundred and one different things were happening. He made sure to ask what kind of photos I wanted of my wedding. He also let me know that the wedding pictures would be edited and sent to me within about three weeks of the wedding. In the three weeks after the wedding, he was able to looks through thousands of photos and pick out the 1000 best ones and edit them for me, so that my husband, family and friends will have beautiful pictures which capture important moments of our special day for the rest of our lives. My husband and I were looking through some of our photos a couple of days ago and it took us at least a couple hours to go through half of them. I cannot imagine how much time and effort went into choosing and editing the wedding photos. Craig's efforts and his dedication to photography showed through each of the pictures he took.
On the day of the wedding, Craig's experience photographing numerous weddings shined brightly. He knew the best places to be to take picture during my Nuptial Mass. After the wedding, he arranged both couple and group photos to produce photographs which would be perfect for a photo album. He also knew how to organize a group to demonstrate the closeness between the people, such as the wedding couple, the bride and her bridesmaids and the groom and his groomsmen. His pictures caught a glimpse of moments of our wedding which will be shared and appreciated for many years to come.
If someone is trying to find a photographer or trying to decide which photographer to request for a wedding, I fully recommend Craig Spiering. His beautiful, heartwarming photos will be viewed and treasured for years to come. Thank you to Craig for catch precious and memorable moments during one of the most important days of my life. I will forever be grateful and always pray for Craig Spiering who made such a positive impact in my life through his beautiful photos! -

Rebecca Sent on 11/12/2024Fantastic wedding photographer
When my daughter got engaged, I knew the best person to do her wedding photos was Craig Spiering. I’d seen Craig in action at a friend’s wedding and I had seen his photos online of many other weddings. I’ve always been impressed.
Craig was on time, friendly, kind, and took amazing photographs. If you want a professional who will help you have great memories of your special day, absolutely choose Craig Spiering of Spiering Photography. You will not be disappointed. -

We are very pleased with how our wedding photos turned out from Craig! I didn't want anything too overly filtered or posed and he delivered on that. He was also super efficient getting all the photos on our shotlist. -

My husband and I had Craig photograph our wedding reception. We couldn't be more pleased with our photos!! From start to finish, Craig was amazing to work with. At the event, Craig did not miss the chance to capture every moment worth capturing. My husband and I highly recommend Craig for your next event! -

Marian-Joy Sent on 01/14/2024Class act! Best photographer in the DMV!
Craig is the definition of a class act, and we could not be more grateful to have him there on our wedding day. Watching him in his craft is like witnessing an expert in his field perform his profession at the top level. He was the perfect choice for our wedding. He understands how to capture beauty and make all people look their most flattering. Above the quality of his work, he was so kind and friendly to our elderly guests and was able to get our shy ring bearer to smile! We adore our photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. -

Jessica Sent on 12/26/2023Highly Recommend!
Craig was fantastic! Very professional and personable. He was very clear with his packages and instructions, and easy to work with. On the wedding day we were impressed by how he put us at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy the photoshoots. During the reception he seamlessly moved through the crowd without being too noticeable but capturing wonderful expressions! We are delighted with both our portrait-style and candid shots. Highly recommend! -

Kalman Sent on 02/20/2023We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.
My wife and I reached out to Craig because we had seen some photos we liked from other weddings he had photographed at our church, but ultimately the reason we selected him was because from the very first conversation he was receptive, helpful, and direct! He made us feel all taken care of by the time our wedding day arrived which was a huge relief considering all of the other wedding-related tasks that were taking up our attention.
After our ceremony, Craig did an amazing job with getting the families together and directing everyone for our portrait shots. What I admired especially about the way Craig worked was that throughout the ceremony and reception he was barely noticeable; seemingly weaving in and out of the special moments of the day to capture them candidly. I also appreciated that before he left, he approached me and asked if there were any shots I wanted with specific people that I hadn't mentioned to him before the wedding.
Craig got our photographs to us much earlier than we anticipated, and quickly went the extra mile for us when we requested some changes to the original package we had purchased. We would recommend his services to any couple who is looking for a photographer that is easy to work with and will go the extra mile for their clients. -

Jocelyn Sent on 11/18/20225-Star Services All the Way!
Craig was recommended to us by family and friends due to the high quality and natural authenticity of his photos. Not only were my husband and I more than happy with how our wedding day photos turned out, but working with Craig was a joy. He was responsive, detailed in providing information and instructions prior to the wedding and day-of, and exceptionally good at organizing us and our family and guests for photos. I knew we had found the right photographer when Craig enthusiastically agreed to our photo request to include both sides of our family in one shot - a group of 80+! We never felt rushed and photos were a breeze. We couldn't recommend Craig more! -

Teresa Sent on 06/09/2022Stunning Pictures and So Easy to Work With
Craig's pictures were absolutely stunning! He did a great job capturing a fantastic day. His pricing was super reasonable. Also, he was so easy to work with! He was fantastic with managing time and making sure to get all the pictures we asked for. And as an added bonus, he did great working with the cranky toddlers that were a part of our day! 10/10 would recommend! -

Casey Sent on 11/24/2021Amazing photos and fantastic experience
We've been to two other weddings where Craig was the photographer, and it was a no brainer for us - we knew we wanted to hire him. He is incredibly personable, making everyone in the room feel comfortable and at ease. He has a great sense of humor and was easy to talk to! He also listens to his couples on what photos they want, even in the moment he will take requests and photos, even the guests felt comfortable to ask! Craig is great at capturing candid moments, like a fly on the wall in conversations - some of our favorite pictures were of us having conversations with our loved ones, enjoying the moment, and it is all because Craig was able to catch it naturally. The photos we received after editing were amazing, it was like reliving the day all over again. I will HIGHLY recommend Craig to friends and family! -

Catherine Sent on 11/02/2021Excellent Experience - Highly Recommend!
Craig Spiering is an incredible wedding photographer and we were so overjoyed to have him capture our special day. Our first shoot in the morning was rained out and Craig was able to take ALL of the bridal party photos in a very short time period before the reception. He was so quick and efficient at getting large family groups in shots, herding the bridal party, and capturing sweet moments of my husband and me. We got every shot we wanted and so many more creative ones we had never thought about. He captured candid shots of the guests, family, and bridal party.
Craig is so experienced with wedding parties and capturing fun shots. No one likes posing awkwardly for photos and with Craig behind the camera, it never felt forced.
We absolutely love our photos and our experience with Craig. We cannot recommend him enough! You will be in excellent hands with his services. -

Michaela Sent on 09/28/2021Excellent for Both Experiences
I highly recommend Craig Spiering’s photography for his talent and knowledge of how to find and capture the beauty and joy of the wedding, and for his professional and gentle presence. His non-intrusive style made all of us, even my mother, who is often camera-shy, very comfortable having him in the room. At our Catholic ceremony, he was almost invisible and was not a distraction from the solemness of the Mass, while also understanding the Mass well enough to photograph the important moments. He seemed to be available every time I wanted to ask for a photo with someone during the reception, while also collecting photos of other interactions that I did not see. All his photos are amazing, capturing the joy in everyone’s faces, the beauty of the church, centerpieces, gowns, et cetera, in a variety of styles from crisp portraits to wide-angle views. He seemed to miss nothing, collecting pictures of our guest book, cake, and other details that we had prepared. It was great to work with him, from the time we planned what photos we wanted, to the very professional and comprehensive way he sent all the photos to me on a hard drive, posted them on a secure website, and compiled our favorites into a high-quality album.
I had known that I wanted Craig to be my wedding photographer ever since I met him when he photographed my sister’s wedding. He made my family comfortable, took all the extra photos that I requested, and produced a wonderful collection of beautiful images that captured my sister and brother-in-law’s joy and personality. Having watched his work from the perspective of a bridesmaid and also as the bride, and having seen the photos and albums of two of his works, I have complete confidence in his ability to bring all the most beautiful and joyful moments of your wedding to remember for years to come.

Jim S. Sent on 04/24/2021A Gifted Artist and Pleasure to Work With
I highly recommend Spiering Photography. Craig is a gifted artist and was a pleasure to work with. Based on our experience and what I have witnessed with other families, Craig will capture your wedding day with attention to detail, emotions, and an understanding and sensitivity to relationships. Such a professional, it was as if he wasn't there while being everywhere, in the right place at the right time, anticipating moments before they happened. -

Felicity Sent on 04/16/2021Working with Craig is a dream come true!
Hiring Craig as the photographer for my wedding was one of the best decisions I ever made. From start to finish, he made working with him a dream come true for a stressed-out bride. He communicated clearly with me throughout the process of choosing a photo package and shot list, worked with me on price, and just generally made it so that I knew I would have nothing to worry about on the wedding day itself.
And I didn't have to worry about anything! Craig stayed in the background during the ceremony, yet still managed to capture so many beautiful shots that I will treasure forever. After the ceremony, he wrangled large extended family shots without missing a beat, and made the entire picture-taking process fun and enjoyable. He also captured many great candid shots during the reception. Part of Craig's policy is that he sends you all the photos he takes, which is awesome! I love looking through them and reliving the memories of that day.
If you're looking for a photographer who listens to what you want and goes above and beyond to achieve it with professional and beautiful photos, while keeping the process light-hearted and painless, I cannot recommend Craig enough. -

Matthew Sent on 12/04/2020Capturing the Most important Memories
Craig was amazing! He did a fabulous job with all the photos at both the wedding and reception. He was so good, many people did not even realize he was there until they saw some of the shots he got. They were so amazed and so please as we were and are!
Craig's ability to use light made it like all his shots were taken at the "golden hour" (in photography when the natural light is just right for some of the best color and contrasting) when in reality it was the middle of the day.
We are so grateful and recommend him for any occassion where you would want captured and to treasure in pictures.

Danylo Sent on 11/17/2020He made us feel natural and got the best shots in with the minimum amount of effort on our part so we could focus on being present to our guests.
Craig was so easy to work with. As the groom I loved how he was able to walk the line between being friendly and putting me at ease and being professional in getting the shots he needed and getting people to gather and stay focused without being pushy. He made sure the atmosphere stayed joyful and so we were able to get shots with my family (10 kids, 34 nephews and nieces) within five minutes of everyone being gathered. My wife was so pleased with all the photos and we have received many comments on social media asking what Bridal magazine we were posing for. Its been so fun sharing our wedding pics since Craig seemed to capture all the moments we hoped he would and more.
Another thing my wife and I loved was how unique his bridal party shots were. The weren't your standard "line up in front of the church" shots. His sense of the importance of the day and the joy it represents came through in the way he arranged us and had us smiling and laughing.
Lastly, i loved how FAST he worked. Posing is already awkward so he was done before you could actually start feeling weird. So most of our shots came out with everyone looking natural. I'd definitely recommend Craig for any occasion. -

Sophie Sent on 11/16/2020Amazing photographer!
Craig did a fantastic job shooting our wedding. When we met him at a coffee shop in Front Royal, he immediately impressed us with his friendliness, professionalism, and eagerness to capture the beauty of our special day. On the day of the wedding, he was completely unobtrusive and quick, snapping gorgeous shots both planned and spontaneous. He also did a fantastic job arranging our wedding album afterwards and put it together in a very timely fashion. We're so grateful for his services and would recommend him to anyone! -

He did such a great job with all of our photos. I love his classic style of photography. After the ceremony, he was really fun to work with, especially while taking all of the group shots. He worked so efficiently that we finished ahead of schedule! I highly recommend! -

Marie Sent on 12/08/2019Craig was phenomenal!
Craig took our wedding photos in March 2019 and we were so pleased with the pictures. He was so quick with his lenses that the flower girl and ring bearer didn't even have time to fidget! Usually church photos are dark but we received very clear pictures on a usb drive that were nice and well-lit! Craig went the extra mile to capture the sparkler exit and the fire breather friend even though his time was technically done. We are very happy to recommend Spiering Photography for wedding photography! -
