Jessica Sent on 02/06/2020Speechless - RUN, don’t walk!!!
Craig by far was everything you’d want in your wedding photographer - he was professional, personal, outgoing, organized, and down to earth. We decided to work with him based off from recommendations from our wedding venue - it took one glance at his last wedding shoot there to know we HAD to have him on our special day. We did an initial phone call - and he blew our socks off, asking all the right questions, giving us suggestions, and support for our non-traditional way of doing things. He worked so hard from the moment the camera came out to the moment he left for the evening. There is not enough words to describe how wonderful Craig and his photography actually are - the photos speak for themselves. My guests and wedding party equally loved him and commented all night how amazing he was - thank you from so much for these memories. -

Stunning Pictures! Amazing person!!!
We 100% recommend Craig for your event. Not only are his pictures stunning, but he is great at directing a crowd, keeping people excited to take pictures, capturing amazing candid moments, and noticing the best spots for posed pictures. He has a great lively personality and is an amazing photographer. In less than a week we received some draft pictures for posting online and we received the rest of our pictures fairly quickly after that (well within the time he gave us during a busy wedding season). Our full album was sent through an online link and a hard drive we received in the mail. We picked Craig based on the style of his pictures shown on his website, and our wedding pictures came out exactly or better than we wanted! -

Tara Sent on 10/02/2022Highly recommend working with Craig
Craig did an amazing job photographing our wedding.
Leading up to the wedding, communication was clear and helpful. Craig is very experienced and gave us a lot of helpful input during our planning.
Day of, he was just as helpful and kind. He has a great personality and did a good job gathering together family and friends for photos. As promised, he managed to capture great photos or nearly everyone who attended.
We ended up with so many awesome photos of our wedding. -

Susan Sent on 07/27/2022Photo magician and all-around great guy to have at your wedding!
Working with Craig was one of the highlights of our wedding day. He's a brilliant photographer and the work speaks for itself, but I was just as amazed by how well he gets along with seemingly everybody he meets and puts them perfectly at ease. And the photos are incredible! Even my husband, who initially wasn't sold on the idea of booking a wedding photographer, enjoys flipping through our photo set as much as I do. We can't recommend him enough! -

Great attention to details, fun to work with!
Craig is talented at his craft! He met with us several times to go over details, changes in plans, and left us feeling in good hands for our event. In person, he was fun, set everyone at ease, knew how to draw on the smiles, and drew the respect of our guests. We had every shot we could have ever wanted, and the outputs were amazing! We would absolutely work with Craig again and highly recommend him! -

Ben B. Sent on 12/17/2021Best photographer ever!
We did two shoots with Craig - an engagement one as well as the wedding one. He was absolutely fantastic for both of those. Not only did the pictures look perfect, he was able to direct us how to stand & pose so that we were able to look our best for him to capture. He's personable, kind, very responsive, and has incredible pricing. Craig made our wedding day very special, and those of you who are lucky enough to be able to book him will feel the exact same way. I could not recommend him more highly. -

Jessica Sent on 11/30/2021Craig is the best!
We had the pleasure of working with Craig for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day! From the very beginning, he was great with communication and took careful note of the details that were important to us. Craig made us feel comfortable and confident in his work and was all around a great person to spend our day with! Our wedding photos came out AMAZING and we could not be happier. We look forward to working with Craig again in the future :) Jessica & Nick -

Craig photographed our wedding in September and we can’t say enough good things about our experience with him. I’ve known Craig since we were kids, but being photographed can still feel awkward whether you know the photographer or not. Craig took our engagement shots, which gave us a chance to get comfortable with the process - and he did a wonderful job of making us feel at ease. He was a calm presence for us both before and during the wedding. And our guests absolutely loved him. I can’t tell you how many compliments we got from guests and other vendors about how awesome and easy Craig was to work with. He even booked another wedding for someone that was at ours and got to see him in action! Our wedding truly wouldn’t have been the same without him. -

Craig is the best!
I had found Craig when originally planning my wedding for 2020. I loved Craig’s work, and how he seemed to capture those quiet, natural moments that happen but no one sees. I’m so glad that he was still available when we had to push the wedding to 2021, because he did just what I loved about his work on our day. He was a pure joy to work with, and not even the crazy storm that happened at our outdoor ceremony by the lake could deter his warmth, enthusiasm or talent. He captured the day exactly as I remember it and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Craig is the best! -

The real MVP
We could write a novel on how amazing Craig was for our winter wedding at Skiesta. My main wedding priority was pictures and Craig did NOT disappoint. He had amazing communication through the whole process and especially given Covid, that was a real blessing. He helped talk us through timeline options and was open for any photo opportunity. He threw out the idea of boarding/skiing down a mountain but we settled on a frozen swimming hole.
Day of, he did his thing. He got monumental candids and didn't shy around me breastfeeding our daughter which meant the world to me. (He of coursed asked before taking pictures but I am so glad he was okay with photographing it) He was a master at hearding the cats lol we thought with only having 20 people, getting everyone together and focused wouldn't have been an issue. I don't know how he did it but he took control and professionally made it all happen while also working on the fly on wanted portraits.
So remember that frozen swimming hole? Craig bundled up and we hoofed it down hill to a frozen swimming hole that ended up being the most beautiful winter wonderland for pictures. It was so breath taking. And I feel he captured that in his pictures. I am just so blown away at his willingness to do what it takes for a picture. And then the quality of that said picture.
Everyone was so blown away at how amazing he was. We literally could not be happier with our experience.

Wedding photos
Craig exceeded our expectations with the entire process. Reasonably priced, checked in with us at several points before the wedding regarding plans/wishes. On our wedding day he showed up, kept us laughing and wonderfully captured all the moments of our big day! Would highly recommend him! -

Sara Sent on 11/10/2019Exceptional!
After seeing Craig’s portfolio it was hands down someone we knew could achieve the exact expectations we were looking for. Craig took the time to connect with us before our wedding to make sure everything was in place so when the time came, it was organized, creative, fun and romantic. We settled on a style, he did his homework made sure we felt extremely comfortable. Besides marrying my husband- capturing all of these memories and intimate moments was most important to me. Craig went above and beyond. We are couldn’t be happier. -

He is who another photographer hires!
Craig went above and beyond. He made us feel at ease from the start. We planned our wedding in Cape Elizabeth from Nashville and he responded quickly to phone calls and emails. He was eager for the challenge of our two lighthouse wedding - from climbing rocks at Dyer Point to a boat ride over to Wood Island braving the seagulls. He captured exactly what I had envisioned of inside the Lighthouse. And with an impulsive decision to get images from the road in front of the privately owned Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse, he was ready with only minutes left of sunset when the owners invited us up to the lighthouse. He made the images that we will cherish for a lifetime. -

To anyone who is reading this review...look no further. Seriously, scroll up and go hire Craig. As a former event planner who's worked with SO many photographers throughout the years, I am beyond impressed with not only Craig's talent, but his ability to ease you into getting incredible photos. He's professional and personal which is hard to find and I know I speak for both my husband and myself when I say we are thrilled that we were able to work with him. I know we will cherish the photos that he provided and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Craig, you are talented beyond measure, keep doing what you're doing. -

Allison Sent on 09/02/2018We wanted a professional photographer who would capture the spirit and joy of our wedding, without all the frills and fuss. Craig was the perfect person for the job-- he is professional and wonderful to work with, and he is truly gifted at capturing the most subtle and delicate candid moments. He also took posed family portraits, and they came out so vibrant and lively. He made the whole process easy, and we never felt like we were missing any of the fun while still getting amazing photos taken. His rates are very reasonable, and we love that it is so easy to access and share our photos. Craig is the best!

Robyn Sent on 08/24/2018What a great family picture experience we had with Craig! Our pictures turned out great, and that was despite the fact that our large family session was not without its challenges, including the family members who were less than enthusiastic about having their pictures taken, the kid whose goal it was to not smile, and the heat wave that made us all hot and sticky. Craig’s laid back personality put everyone at ease, and he was able to coax genuine smiles out of everyone. At the end of the session he was waist high in water in order to give us the perfect shot of the kids jumping off a dock—true commitment there! He also was extremely professional throughout. He arrived half an hour early, the pictures were finished a week before I was expecting them, and communication was excellent throughout. Thanks, Craig! We couldn’t be more pleased.

Katie Sent on 02/07/2018Craig was phenomenal. We had an amazing experience working with him throughout the entire process from planning the pictures all the way through the actual wedding day and receiving our pictures afterward. Craig was flexible and really worked with us to make sure he was capturing everything we wanted. After looking at our album and on top of all of the cliché wedding pictures that are taken of the wedding party and families, I would say that every single person in attendance that day is a part of multiple pictures, candid and posed. He has an unbelievable work ethic and we have been raving about him ever since. It’s amazing to be able to look through the wedding album and be able to relive the entire day. We will absolutely recommend Craig, with Yeah Bud! Photography to anyone who asks. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, CRAIG!

Liz Sent on 12/18/2017Craig was absolutely amazing. I was his point person for the day of my brothers wedding. He kept a very large and distracted wedding party on point to get all the pictures they wanted. He truly knows how to capture the feeling of the day in each picture. His approach to candids are stunning. Only thing that I am sad about is I wish he was my wedding photographer when I got married 5 years ago! Thank you Craig!

Alexandra Sent on 08/13/2013Craig was amazing! I didn't want the typical wedding photos and was looking more for the little moments of the whole evening. He made us feel so comfortable that I didn't even notice he was there most of the time! The photos he took of us were so special I want to print all of them. The photos he got of our fireworks were the best I've ever seen! If you're looking for a photographer with a photo-journalism style, Craig is your guy! Highly-recommended, I can't say enough good things about Craig.
