I began my journey into imaging back in 1992, shooting music videos for a small, Manhattan based production company when I was just a kid. It was there that I discovered my passion for creating dynamic visuals to tell compelling stories. Prime lenses and intricate lighting scenarios became my obsession along with large format film photography and soon I was shooting & directing spots and magazine ads for Paul Mitchell, WPLJ Radio, L'Oreal, Anne Taylor, Liz Claiborne and others.

In the 90's, I discovered my love of wedding photography which allowed me to use the same approach to capturing images as I did shooting fashion, celebrities and rock-stars. Over 700 weddings later, I still feel the same excitement about shooting them. Weddings are a unique opportunity to record such a wide array of emotions and elements, all in one day. For over 17 years it has been the core of my business.

I do NOT shoot babies, families, pets or boudoir. I'm a wedding photographer first with my focus being on fashion, glamour and journalism. I have studied under some of the most respected names in national and international wedding photography and continue to persue my passion for creative excellence.

I'm an education & tech junkie and can be found throughout the year at various, advanced education seminars & trade shows. I even teach a few myself when I get the chance. I build my own computers, edit all my own images and videos, design all my albums myself and designed and built this web site as well as a few others.

I'm a devoted father, raising 2 of the worlds most incredible and beautiful children who've taught me the value of capturing life's moments in pictures, like windows to the soul. They truly complete me and inspire me.

Give me a call or shoot me an email and ask me anything you'd like. I look forward to working with you and thanks       for stopping by.     craig@southstreetstudios.com
