Craig was amazing from start to finish! He made the entire wedding photography experience a breeze, and couldn't do enough for us. We enjoyed having a pre-wedding shoot before the big day, and always felt totally at ease. When the wedding day came, Craig went above and beyond! He literally captured everything from us getting ready at 7.30am to the final dance in the evening party at midnight. I cannot recommend him enough! We will be forever grateful for the beautiful memories he captured for us More...

I can't recommend Craig Maunder Photography enough! He captured our wedding day perfectly and made the whole experience effortless. His attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly-ness made us feel so comfortable, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. From candid moments to the couple shots, every picture was amazing! We're absolutly thrilled with his work and are so grateful for the memories he helped preserve. If you're looking for a talented photographer, Craig is the one! More...

Craig Maunder was our photographer for our sixth form prom. He was punctual and when arrived asked us what photos we specifically wanted what times certain things where happening throughout the night and was really great. He was there the whole evening was really involved with all the students and got amazing photos which were uploaded to a drive and we were given QR codes to access them. More...

Craig was great from preparation to the day itself. Asked lots of questions to understand what we wanted from the day. To being there and getting the photos we wanted and making everyone feel at ease. Everyone said what a lovely chap he was. Highly recommend! More...

Craig has been incredible from the day we enquired about his services. He provided us with an engagement shoot, which was perfect to break the ice and get to know each other, a pre wedding consultation and kept us updated on his ideas. On the day of the wedding Craig was with the bridal party from getting ready, he made us feel comfortable and at ease, he stayed right u til the very end to capture all the candid moments. He’s not an in your face photographer,he listens to you, and offers advice. I highly recommend Craig’s services. Preview images came back within 48 hours as promised, so no hanging on for months to relive your special day. Thank you Craig. You were fantastic! More...

Where to start, after posting for a photographer on here Craig was selected from a shortlist and work began. His professionalism throughout shone through.
From the initial meeting to the wedding day he couldn’t have done anymore for us.
Nothing was too much for him, we had several changes of plans with group photos etc but he took it in his stride and delivered top service.
On the wedding day, he was one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. At one point I thought I was going to wake up to a photo shoot. His work ethic was second to none.
Our previews are spectacular and are excited for the final photos.

I can't fault Craig! He was professional when emailing back and forth organising times of the party. He arrived on time and fitted right in!
It was such a relief to know I didn't need to stress about capturing memories and could just enjoy being in the moment.
Will definitely be booking Craig again!

We attended one of Craig’s mini Christmas photo shoots. He accommodated the entire family, had toys for the children to play with when they (undoubtedly) became overwhelmed. The resulting photos are stunning, they really are lovely. Thank you so much Craig! More...

We were lucky enough to have Craig take our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we can't recommend him enough 😄 Craig is really patient, kind, understand, attentive and really organised. His attention to detail is brilliant. We didn't have to put any effort into thinking of photo ideas and that took a lot of pressure off us in the run up to the wedding and on the day! We've seen our wedding previews and we are over the moon, the photos are stunning! Thank you Craig 👏😄 More...
