A Great, Budget Friendly Wedding Photographer in NJ

We found a terrific, budget-friendly photographer for our wedding by looking on Craigslist. I advertised in the Creative section, figuring it was better to "attract" rather than go after someone already in existence. We were open to someone who took pictures as a hobby, but hopefully had a good eye. In my ad, I specified exactly what I wanted, what I did not want, and a ballpark figure of what we wanted to pay.

We chose Craig Pritch over a slew of other photographers who had replied to the ad, because he really was exactly what we had in mind, plus he had this awesome photography website showcasing photos of his travels. We knew that a wedding would be a much different dynamic, requiring different skills and timing than taking pictures of mountains and landscapes... but after receiving a photo album from a friend's wedding that he had taken pics for, we were 100% certain Craig was our guy.

We were not especially picky in our demands on the photographer. I know that many people these days are going for that journalistic wedding photo style, but that wasn't us. All we really cared about was getting some nice family portraits to put in the album, hopefully some flattering photos of us posing as bride and groom, and of course, some candids of people enjoying themselves at the wedding reception.

Our photographer gave us exactly what we wanted and then some. He was right there in front of the action, capturing all those unforgettable moments of the day, and he was relaxed enough to feel like one of the family! We really appreciated the fine work he did for us as well as the competitive pricing he offered.

Thanks, Craig for capturing our wedding day memories so perfectly! We hope this little plug gets you some side business. :)
