Richard Craig began taking photos when he got his first camera at the age of 15. "I learnt photography from both school and my dad, and started developing my skills from there," he says. Although he has worked in fashion photography, he feels most at home photographing weddings. "I love to see the range of expressions on people's faces and the interaction that sparks between different people within the wedding party. But the best part of my job is the reaction I get when the couple see their album; nothing beats that feeling of satisfaction," he smiles. As well as having an eye for a good shot, Richard's personal skills help him in his work too. "My laidback and relaxed attitude means I can put nervous brides and grooms at ease. I do a pre-wedding shoot to help them warm to me and get them used to the camera. I also help shape the day itself, ensuring that it goes exactly how they want it to." He also understands that listening to the couple's ideas is vital. "Getting my head around the type of day the couple is after enables me to understand the kind of images they would like to look back on. The photographs, whether they are traditional, reportage, romantic or a mixture, should bring back memories of the day."
