"I can't recommend Craig highly enough. We interviewed several photographers and felt an immediate "connection" with him. I'm pretty seriously type-A control freak woman, and he was really good about teasing me gently when I needed to calm down, and taking the things that were important to me seriously. Plus our pictures are just amazing. There was so much going on that day that my husband and I missed, and seeing the love and emotion on our guests faces in the pictures is a gift.

We did our wedding in a location that had never had a wedding before (Steelhead Diner at Pike Place Market), and in a pretty untraditional format. He rolled with that unconventional situation very nicely, and the event coordinator AND the owner/chef at the restaurant were both impressed enough with his professionalism and unobstrusive presence in the middle of their lunch service that they've asked for his contact info as a preferred vendor for other events held at the restaurant. Probably the most impresive thing is the way he dealt with my 76 year old, camera phobic father. He took the time to talk to him a bit, and to make my dad feel comfortable - and that time investment is rewarded with amazing and candid pictures, both of me with my Dad, and of my Dad alone. I cried (again) looking at the pictures.

He's reasonably priced, punctual, a true artist, and a gem to work with. Highest marks to Craig Larsen Photography!"

"Thanks Craig--we were so glad we had you do our pictures-it was a great experience. If you have a link for us to post comments we would love to share so other people can have the same great experience.

"Craig,
I just wanted to thank you again for the exceptional job that you and your daughter did with the photos from Beth and Micah's wedding. I'm anxious for the kids to arrive home so we can look at them together, remember the beautiful time and make some decisions on ordering. Thank you so very much for capturing the memories of the evening. I love the pictures of Beth with her bouquet (Page 3 of Bride and Groom). You captured her spirit. You are truly gifted. I have sent the site to many friends and family so hopefully that will generate a few orders. We will certainly pass your name along to anyone who might ask."

Thank you,
Patti


"Hi Craig,

We just got back from vacation today, and found the care package that you had left for us. All we can say is WOW!

Thank you so much Craig. The pictures are beautiful - some great images of us - a great way to remember the day, and the plaque - absolutely made us grin from ear to ear - so perfect. Thank you from both of us for the lovely gift - and thank you for signing it. We want everyone to know who does this beautiful work.

As we have said before, we will definitely be contacting you later in the future, whenever we need photography. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to capturing the special moments.

Thanks again Craig - take care of yourself. Talk to you soon."

"Hi Craig!

Just got back from the honeymoon and took a look at the pictures online – you and Craig Jr. did a fantastic job! Thanks so much for helping us beautifully document the event!!

My mother (of course!) is anxious to get her hands on the DVD with all the pictures on it. I think you said this would take 30 days but I just wanted to check in and make sure. We are having a reception in Dallas on Labor Day weekend, and she’d like to display some of your work in a digital slideshow. I know this is soon so if it won’t be ready yet – I totally understand!

Hope all is more than well, and thanks again for your fantastic work!"

"Myhien,

I heard that you might be interested in having Craig photograph your wedding. Craig photographed my wedding in October and did a beautiful job. My husband and I are very happy with the pictures he took. He has a real eye for capturing the beauty in places you wouldn’t expect. He’s not afraid to try different shots too. He took one picture from just above the floor of the church and it turned out really well… it showed the church from a whole different angle.

Craig uses a digital camera and gives you ALL the pictures that he takes. That’s something that no other photographer offered us. We ended up with about 1,400 different pictures. The nice thing about digital was that he could take as many shots as he needed to ensure that he got the perfect one. He took a picture of me with each of my bridesmaids and took each shot at least 5 times. It was nice because I ended up with a great picture with each of my 6 bridesmaids.

My Mom recently ordered some pictures from Craig and said that he did an amazing job touching them up. She thought he made her look 10 years younger.

One of the nice things about Craig is that he is very easy to work with. You really have to like your photographer (not just their pictures, but also their personality) because you are with them for most of the day. He was very unobtrusive, we hardly noticed him even though he was by our side most of the day. Whenever we needed guidance (like the cake cutting) he was there to help us.

Another thing that I like about Craig is that he made planning my wedding very easy. I live in Florida, so I was only able to meet with him once. In that brief meeting he was able to get a real feel for what we wanted in our pictures.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me."

"Hi Craig,
 
Thank you again so much for everything on our wedding day! We could not have asked for a better experience. My Mom was very impressed and really enjoyed you as well! I truly appreciate how easy you made everything that day, because despite thinking I wasn't going to be stressed that day I was quite the opposite. 
 
Hope everything is going well for you and your family with Christmas approaching! :o)
 
Thanks again for everything"
