Craige Barker Photography Full Description
I'm Based in Cheshire, Manchester as a photographer but cover the whole of the UK and Europe. Specialising in weddings, social photography, fashion and commercial assignments. Passion is about taking great photos and will bend over backwards (not literally) to get the shot. I am very accommodating and try to assist in most situations. I include several different styles in the day including reportage (fly on the wall), drama (big sky and posed shots) with family shots. All of this is done to your requirements.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Craige
Hi, The wedding photography market is saturated and confusing (everyone is a photgrapher). The most important thing is do you get on with the photographer. Yes OK they need to take good pictures but it's more important that you get on with them. I will meet with you to ensure you that we are compatible before we move on to the next stage and taking photos. Call me anytime. Regards

Professional and friendly service
Craige was really helpful from the start and was able to play a big part in making our day special and less stressful. We now have loads of great photos to look back through whenever we like.

Best photographer to have
Craig was completed professional and went to great lengths to capture the perfect picture we wanted. His photo styles were unique and we almost felt like we were ripped him off with the price we were quoted. Any further photo shoots we require further we will definitely be asking Craig. He felt like a part of our guests on the day which we will never forget.

Wedding Photographer - Craige Barker
Craige was fantastic on the day. Putting everyone at ease and making sure we got the mix of structured family shots and candids we were looking for. Lots of reception shots of happy guests which were lovely to look back on when you feel like you miss a lot as a couple, being so busy on the day. Perfect keepsake box with our ‘bottle of memories’ and usb. Great pricing structure and very pleased with both the engagement and wedding photos we received. Thank you Craige!

Wedding photographer that captured the day!
I spoke with Craige before my wedding and he totally put us at ease with his knowledge and experience in the field, his portfolio is amazing and to be honest I didn’t think we would be able to financially cover the cost of such a professional service. After we had talked about the itinerary for the wedding, we finally got around to talking about price and to my surprise for the package offered was reasonable. I was able to confirm booking with a deposit and pay the balance in instalments via the webpage which really worked for my situation at the time. On the day Craige was really well presented, was great with guests and really captured every moment of my big day. Funny, non intrusive and always on the job which translated into brilliant pictures. Just to note Craige also threw in a pre wedding shoot for the price, great guy. I do highly recommend. Amazing service! 5 stars *****

Amazing experience from start to finish. We didn’t
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!!!

Overall amazing!
Craige photographed our wedding in June 2022, he made me and all the wedding party feel completely relaxed and he knew exactly what he was doing. Our pictures are absolutely amazing! Comments from family members who have seen them are generally 'it looks like a fairytale' he has captured our day so perfectly and we honestly couldn't wish for more. I think our house is going to turn into a gallary, there are so many I want to put up 🙈
