Tad Craig Photography » "Great Photography Captures The Soul of the Moment"

Greetings from Beautiful Maui Hawaii

Born in Aspen, and raised in Telluride, Colorado, Tad has
always had a passion for the outdoors and a reverence for the
beauty of his natural surroundings.

Tad received his first camera, a Nikon FE2, as a high school
graduation gift. Since then, he has been obsessed with
perfecting his craft, constantly pushing himself to create
better, more beautiful images. He began his career as a sports
photographer shooting extreme sports in Colorado, Oregon, and
Hawaii.

The transition from Sports to Wedding Photographer evolved with the help of three things: A Public Relations degree from C.U. Boulder, years of experience working in Five Star Hotels
and a solid photography background. Tad skillfully blends
traditional techniques with spontaneous photojournalism. The
striking quality of his photographs is rooted in the basics:
clean, simple compositions, a candid eye toward his subjects,
and the ability to step out of the way to allow the
breathtaking beauty of the Pacific speak for itself.

Tad prides himself on treating clients like friends and takes an
invitation to photograph every event to heart. His professional,
easy going personality will help make your special day relaxed,
hassle free, and fun. His creative eye, attention to detail, and
friendly, approachable nature have made him one of the most sought
after photographers on the Islands. His gift for connecting with
people and consistently delivering beautiful images will help turn
your wedding dreams into reality.

Jennifer & Mike’s Intimate Maui Wedding

This was a great little wedding up at Gannon’s Restaurant overlooking the pacific. The lighting was especially beautiful & of course the bride was positively “glowing”. Jennifer’s bubbly personality was especially contagious & both her & Mike had me cracking up all the time. Enjoy the shots & big congratulations to Jennifer & Mike!

Ampy & Jahmal FINALLY get married!!!!

Ampy & Jahmal did things in reverse. They settled down, had two kids & after 12 years decided it was time to have the wedding of their dreams! They planned a beautiful wedding at Sugarmans Plantation house in Makena Maui. With every detail in place, Ampy’s mom walked her down the isle & gave her away. While their two kids looked on, Ampy & Jahmal repeated their nuptuals & sealed the deal. The evening of their wedding was gorgeous with soft light (LOVE IT). After sunset they made an arousing entrance directly into their first dance. Soon after Jahmal danced with his mom. They both sang the song they danced to while mom tapped him on the chest in a since giving him away. It was very emotional watching it!!!
That night I shot about 1500 images so here is just a small sample of images.
Many, many Congratulations to Ampy & Jahmal on a fantastic wedding. It was truely a pleasure working with the two of you & your families!!!
Enjoy the pics!!!

Jordan asks Becky for her hand in Marriage

So Becky calls me asking if I do engagement pics. “Of course”, I told her. “Well” she said, “we want something totally different. We want to roll in the sand & frolic in the water. Do you shoot that she asked?” “Of course I do!” I exclaimed. It was totally fun working with the two of them & creating these images. Enjoy!!!!
