Award-winning Bethnal Green documentary wedding photographer. Craig works like a guest with a camera, capturing honest, unposed moments that bring your wedding day back to life.
Hi — I’m Craig. Based in Bethnal Green and rooted in a documentary approach, I specialise in wedding photography that shows how your day actually felt, not just how it looked. My aim is simple: to be a guest with a camera. I get in among the energy, the laughs, the quiet chaos and the small moments between the big moments, so when you look back at your photos they transport you straight back to that day. Why choose me? I’ve worked across fashion, advertising and portraiture around the world, but weddings are where I’ve found my stride. I bring an experienced eye and a relaxed, friendly manner so people forget they’re being photographed. That’s how I capture the spontaneous glances, the nervous hands, the belly laughs and the tears — the stuff you’ll want to see again and again. My approach is honest, unscripted and human: no heavy direction, no staged poses unless you ask for them. How I work with couples: I like to meet early — a chat, an engagement shoot or a quick call — so we get to know each other and your day. On the wedding day I blend into the crowd, listening to stories, sharing a joke and staying present. I shoot with an eye for atmosphere and detail, always searching for the moments that reveal the character of your celebration. After the day, I carefully curate and edit the images so your story reads naturally and emotionally. My style suits couples who value authenticity — from relaxed town-hall ceremonies in London to wild marquee weekends or intimate elopements. While weddings are my core focus, I also enjoy brief engagement shoots as a way for us to connect before the big day. I grew up in New Zealand, worked internationally and now call Hackney home. That mixture of experience and warmth informs how I photograph: adventurous, empathetic and a little bit cheeky. If you want a photographer who feels like a friend at your celebration and who will document your day with heart and truth, I’d love to hear from you.
