    CRAIG WAS AMAZING!

    I will keep this as short and sweet as possible because I could go on and on about how much we love Mitchelldyer Photography!

    Price: Great value for Craig, his assistant, and an all day/night photographer
    Professionalism: He knew what, where, when, who and how to get everyone together (we had two large families and the entire wedding party totaling about 30 people) so that we got all the shots we needed/wanted in so little time! Craig is efficient and has a fantastic eye.
    Photos: We got to see all the photos online within a few days!!! They turned out SO GREAT! There wasn't a single photo out of about a thousand that I didn't like. Craig got every backdrop, every event of the evening and amazing sunset and sparkler send off photos.

    WE LOVE CRAIG and would definitely use him again for any upcoming events.

    Craig was great. He took excellent pictures without being in the way. When we looked through the proofs from our wedding, we had to ask ourselves a couple of times if we remember Craig even being there! He and his staff were nearly unnoticeable during the ceremony!

    Craig knew the venue (Timberline Lodge) well and was able to get some very nice pictures of us because of it. He's also a very nice guy who was willing to take any little photo we wanted.

    My boyfriend is quite the photographer, so we knew as soon as we got engaged exactly who we would use. Between the two of us, we'd already referred Craig to 8-10 other couples getting married, and we will continue to refer him!

    He got some amazing shots of us, candids, and captured so many awesome moments of our wedding. He was professional and pleasant to work with and always responsive via email and phone.

    He also has top of the line equipment and knows how to use it, or also make use of existing light to capture the moment. He also has a super quick turnaround time, and doesn't make you wait months like many other photographers, and you always get all your images.

    We are based in San Francisco, but Craig charges only a very modest fee, so even including travel, his prices are still lower than many Bay Area photographers.

    All around spectacular photographer. He is worth every penny, and dollar! He shot seamlessly, takes no time at all so you will not be posing for hours or having to miss your reception. If he tells you it will be a half hour of photos, it will be a half hour of photos!

    He deals with crazy family antics in a professional manner, and he is able to instruct on where people need to be quite efficiently. He frames photos perfectly, has exceptional lighting, and really, the photos are everything I wanted and more!

    Craig arrived on time and did a superb job. The photos look absolutely stunning. The reason we chose Craig is because we wanted more of a "photojournalism" theme - not too posed or cheesy - we wanted him to capture the moment. Craig certainly delivered - we received the online link to the photos a couple of days after our wedding, and felt like we were reliving the night as we viewed them. The shots were very artistic, and Craig certainly has a great eye. He is extremely talented, and we would highly recommend his services.

    Craig was so easy to work with. I loved all the pictures that he took and his turnaround time was amazing. We got the link to the pictures two days after the wedding. We got the proofs a week after.Craig is really easy to work with, extremely reliable and just the nicest person! Craig is a great photographer and captured my wedding day perfectly. I planned my wedding in Oregon from D.C. and Craig made it so easy. He also does not add silly fees for any add ons or extras. He stayed an extra 30 minutes to take pictures of our first dance and did not charge us for that. If I lived in Oregon, Craig would be my photographer for all special events. I highly recommend Craig, he is a steal! Check out his work and you will be be very impressed.

    Craig did an amazing job in capturing the love at our wedding. We enjoyed working with him because he was not only really professional and "knew his stuff" but also is very down-to-earth and easy to communicate with and was very flexible with some of our requests the day of our wedding. Our pictures turned out amazing and the quality is very high. He also provided us with a proof book and rights to the images so we can print them ourselves. I would highly recommend Craig for any of your special occassions, especially your wedding! You won't be dissappointed!

    Craig's photos and video of our wedding are absolutely amazing! He truly captured the ambiance of our venue, the happiness of our guests, the key moments of our ceremony, the little details of the decorating, and the fun night of dancing we had!

    Craig's style matched ours well, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

    We discovered Craig through researching various wedding photographer sites. We were drawn to his professional quality, but also his obvious engagement with those he worked with; they all seemed comfortable before his lense and he captured some great emotion moments. We had a lot of photography to do so we decided to give him a small project and see what we thought, before hiring him for the wedding. After the senior pictures ... he proceeded to do our family and of course, our wedding. :-)

    Craig was attentive and has a great eye for what turns out to be amazing shots. I have to confess: I was too consumed with last minute details to have a spic-n-span house and so I jokingly said, "Do you think you could just block out the background of the house during the 'getting ready' shots?" Well, he did such an excellent job of blurring and focusing - you'd never know! Not only is his eye for framing and positioning excellent, but his editing work is quite respectful too.

    If you are looking for a great photographer and a team that is flexible, understanding, patient, and has great value - hire Craig and Liz.

    Craig was great to work with and made the photography experience a lot of fun. It was helpful to get the engagement photo session so we knew what to expect on the day of our wedding. The photos were amazing and there were so many photos to choose from to create a wedding album. His prices can't be beat for what you get in return.

    Photography was an extremely important part of our wedding planning process -- we wanted someone with a creative eye who could take great photos and be easy to work with. We interviewed two photographers, and we easily decided on Mitchelldyer Photography. Craig is clearly an awesome photographer, and he had a great attitude. We felt confident that he would help us document out wedding so that looking back, we could really feel like we were re-living the wedding. The photographs we received were even more amazing than we could have hoped, and I know we made a great choice.

    Craig took some fabulous pictures from our wedding, but not just a couple, they were all clear and captivating of the emotion during the day. You barely noticed that he was there, and he was able to read the backgrounds and the focus was perfect. I would highly recommend him as a photographer, and I look forward to using him in the future when we need family photos!

    My husband and I had met with several photographers before meeting with Craig. We knew once we met with him he was the one. He instantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed. His talent is amazing and our pictures were phenomenal. He always managed to be in the right spot at the right time, without ever knowing he was there. You won't regret having Craig as your photographer.

    Craig was my far our favorite wedding vendor! We met with several photographers and just clicked best with him, and fell in love with his beautiful and easy photojournalism. His prices are VERY good for the packages he offers and the exceptional quality he provides. He was very quickly responsive to any of our questions and requests, showed up early on the day of the wedding, and somehow managed to be in all the right places at all the right times without us even really noticing that he was there! Our photos are fantastic - better than we could have ever hoped. AND....we had our proofs within a week of our summer wedding! I have several friends who were married the same year we were, and most of them waited 6weeks to a few MONTHS to get their proofs, so needless to say, we were amazed and so excited. I highly recommend Craig and his awesome service!

    Craig and his assistant were great to work with - very easy going and flexible. The pictures were simply amazing. Craig has a wonderful ability to capture the right moment and gets lots of spontaneous shots - you don't even realize he is there. The formal photos were beautiful also - couldn't have asked for better. Thanks Craig!

    Craig is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He was respectful of our budget, our time, and - most importantly! - our families. I can't stress enough how easy Craig was to work with - and we love the final results. (We have a relative who is a wedding photographer on the east coast, and she raved over Craig's photos.) Craig not only took excellent family portraits, but he also captured a lot of sweet moments and festive zaniness. The feel of our wedding really comes through in his pictures.

    Craig always has a smile on his face - He was extremely fun to be around and I especially loved that he understood my desire to include my children in my wedding and my photo's. He has two children of his own so I know that he enjoyed seeing mine be such a part of my special day - as well as the other times he's taken pictures of our family. He takes great photo's - always makes you feel comfortable... Just fits in with everyone! He arrived early on wedding day, his packages are great prices, and he gets your photo's back to in before your even back before the honeymoon (if you take one!) we had ours back the Tuesday after our wedding! Highly recommend him

    We loved working with Craig!! We were particularly impressed with his dedication to getting the right shot. It was raining outside at the Palace of Fine Arts, but he didn't hesitate to plant his entire body down on the concrete so that he could capture this stunning shot of us right underneath the main archway. Craig was very friendly and flexible and did everything he could to put us at ease on a very nerve-wracking day. We would recommend Craig without any hesitation.
