Tad Craig Photography bio picture

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.

Taniesha and James 10-10-10

This was of course, the very popular “in demand” 2010 date! A wedding to remember at The White Orchid Beach House! James had served in Iraq so it was very nice for me to be part of this touching ceremony and wedding. Taniesha was stunning on her special day and it shows! Their little son was awesome! Congratulations to the both of you!

November 11, 2010 - 6:57 PM Taniesha - Tad~ Thank you so much for making our day more memorable! You are such a great person and photographer. Your pictures make me feel beautiful and you captured my family in an amazing way. I don't know how else to express my gratitude. The words "Thank You" aren't enough. Sincerely, Taniesha

Beautiful Brides and Wedding Dresses

Where Twila became Mrs. Anthony S…This beautiful historical Plantation House is full of charms and very romantic! They had contacted me a year prior and i had eagerly anticipated their wedding!
With the help of Lori from Tropical Maui Weddings, their dream wedding was a success! From the details of her colorful bouquet, flowers in her hair, table settings, the music with the awesome musician Jamie Lawrence, hula dancing, leis…it was gorgeous! You can see for yourself! Congratulations once again to the proud and happy couple! Tad

Sarah & Yan just got Mauied!

Everything was beautiful and “Pretty in Pink”! The Keawalai Church was decorated to the “nines” and gorgeous. The pink roses stood, stunning contrast to the red alter behind Yan. Yan patiently waited at the alter for his bride and her fabulous dress! Later on after doing lots of pictures at the church we moved on to Gannon’s for their reception. The theme at the reception was also pink…with pink in just about “everywhere”! Sarah came to me asking if i could get a couple fashion oriented shots in her “second” dress…of course, i told her, when she made her second entry with her new dress was amazed! Well done, Congrats to the both of you!

More cakes! There are so many, it becomes hard to pick!

I hope those will help you in your wedding planning! Enjoy!
