Beautiful photos from multi cultural micro wedding and large reception

We had the pleasure of working with Craig at Craig Paulson studio for our engagement shoot, our micro wedding, and our large reception. We are so thrilled with the photos that Craig took for all of our events, as well as our experience working with him. His years of experience in the industry were very helpful when we were planning out the timing and events of our large celebration. He was very accommodating when we had to postpone our event multiple times due to the pandemic. He did a great job capturing the intimate moments from our micro wedding, as well as the excitement from our 200+ person reception. We feel lucky to have incredible shots in both New York City for our engagement shoot and micro wedding, and at a more rural setting for our large reception with beautiful fall foliage. We had second shooters who worked with Craig for all of our events, and they took amazing photos as well.

Our wedding was a multi-cultural, Indian and American fusion wedding. It was important to us to have a photographer who had experience shooting at both types of events, and Craig has substantial experience with both. He took beautiful photos of the elements from both of our cultures. He did an especially great job shooting our Baraat, capturing all of the dancing and fun.

Our final photos are beautifully curated and edited. We have incredible portraits, and really special candid moments captured. We are so happy with the pictures and the memories that are forever commemorated with them.

We learned of Craig Paulson and Kim Espinosa through our friends after seeing our candid photos from their wedding. Kim and Haim were a pleasure - they were creative, hardworking, on top of checklists and their offices had great communication throughout the entire process. They moved seamlessly throughout the wedding taking beautiful pictures of our us and our guests. They were sincere, funny and became part of the party. We were so happy to work with them and now we will have these beautiful pictures to remind us of our day.
