Craige Barker Photography

Where do I begin… researching photography can be a minefield. We had a budget in mind and was struggling to find what we wanted. I messaged Craige and he put me at ease straight away from our first phone call I knew we had to have him. My husband and I both hate having our photograph taken and told Craige we wanted ‘in the moment’ photos which were non intrusive and boy did he deliver!! Even on the more stages family photos we were done in no time and I’ve been to weddings where these are overkill, but not with Craige! He answered all our questions within minutes from the moment we booked until the wedding day.
We live in Manchester and Craige was more than happy to travel to the lakes and couldn’t do enough for us.
Our website images arrived in less than 3 weeks and to say we love them is an understatement! Everyone commented on how great he was on the day and Craige even had selfies with our guests. I honestly can’t thank him enough for capturing so many precious memories for us.
You need to book Craige!!!

We cannot fault Craige In anyway! He fit in perfectly with our wedding and couldn’t do enough for us! Our photos are perfect! Thank you so much craige!

Craige was very responsive to our enquiry and we booked after an initial discussion regarding our preferences and prices (very competitive). On the day Craige was friendly and professional, he mixed easily with the guests and got some great shots. We were very happy with the experience on the day and the results when they arrived! I would highly recommend Craige.

Craige went above and beyond to make our happy day just that. He captured the heart and soul of the day and eased us in gently with a pre wedding shoot which was amazing. I absolutely recommend Craige for his talent and genial manner. 10/10

Craige is a great guy, very friendly and professional from first meeting to getting our pictures. Our guests thought he was great, and not intrusive at all. We loved getting our pictures and we’ve had some fantastic comments too, I love looking at them!

We chose Craige to be our photographer for our wedding after he was recommended to us. Craige listened to what we wanted to get out of the day with the more traditional style photographs. However captured the ‘in the moment’ style we also wanted. He took pictures of moments we may have missed if it wasn’t for Craige......From me (the Bride) getting ready, to James and his son together and then the sunset photos. They were all amazing. Craige understood who we were as a couple (engaging in a pre-shoot with us) to what best aspects of our venue he could use for great photographs. Craige was respectful of the fact this was our special day but made sure no one was missed out on being involved. Then to be able to view some of our initial special ‘snaps’ part way through our day was an added bonus! Craige you were fantastic! Thank you x

Craige and his team were amazing, very professional and friendly, accommodating with any requests.

Outstanding value for the excellent photography skills and effort of detail!.

Thank you Craige

Craige has the ability to capture wonderfully special moments without you even knowing he was there. His skill as a photographer and his professional manner made looking back on our wedding day as amazing as the day itself. I have recommended Craige and would do again.

Craige did the photography at our wedding and the photos were outstanding.

Very affordable, reliable, great service and a really lovely gentlemen. It was an absolute pleasure having Craige be part of our special day.

We had a small intimate wedding and wanted our wedding album to reflect this; Craige worked wonders. Not only did we have a pre wedding shoot which helped me to feel more relaxed in-front of the camera, but Craige himself is genuinely lovely and amazing at making everyone feel at ease.
Craige takes the time to not only get to know you as a couple but also invests time in researching your venue in order to get the most beautiful photographs on the day. He listens to what you want in relation to photography and delivers above and beyond expectations. We have a lovely wedding album featuring a selection both natural and more staged/ posed traditional photos along with a USB of all images captured. Could not ask for more.
Great value for money.
Good turn around time from wedding day to completion of service.

Craige took some amazing photos in our wedding at The Inn on the Lake. We asked for an informal Snapshot on the day and it’s exactly what we had. I remember being taken from the wedding reception because the light is exactly right NOW for photos amongst the daffodils by the lake. Craige was 100% right!

Craige was fun, professional and worked so hard to deliver us the best pictures. He really listened to what we wanted and captured the day perfectly. We love looking back at all our pictures, he did a fantastic job and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

We can’t recommend Craige enough. He captured our special day perfectly. The photos were really high quality and we got lots of ‘in the moment’ shots which gave it that personal touch. All done with a professional and friendly approach.

Punctual, polite and very reasonably priced. We got exactly as we asked for and more as Craige listened to everything we asked for and had some fabulous suggestions himself. He was fun to be around on the day too and very helpful
