There’s something about Craig Peterman’s work that lingers long after the wedding day has passed. Maybe it’s the way he captures the in-between - those quiet, unscripted moments that often slip by unnoticed. Or maybe it’s how his images feel both artful and honest, like a memory remembered just the way it felt. Based in Arizona but constantly on the move for love stories across California and beyond, Craig has spent over a decade behind the lens, documenting weddings with depth, care, and an eye for the extraordinary.
Craig isn’t just a photographer or a filmmaker ... he’s both. A true hybrid artist who moves seamlessly between stills and motion, crafting a visual narrative that’s deeply personal and never overproduced. His style lives in the space between editorial and documentary: intentional, elevated, and full of soul. It’s about more than just how a wedding looks; it’s about how it feels.
His services are tailored to fit the rhythm of each couple’s celebration. Whether it’s an intimate mountaintop elopement or a full wedding weekend with hundreds of guests, Craig brings the same grounded presence and creative focus. Couples can choose photography, videography, or a seamless blend of both, knowing they’re in the hands of someone who’s equally invested in the process from start to finish. His offerings include engagement shoots, high-resolution images, digital files, and options for albums and fine-art prints, all delivered through a clean, user-friendly online gallery. Behind the scenes, Craig leads a trusted team to ensure every detail - big and small - is captured with clarity and heart.
What sets Craig apart isn’t just his technical talent (though he has that in spades); it’s the way he sees. He’s drawn to atmosphere, to subtle glances, to the shift in energy when vows are exchanged or when the party finally lets loose. He chases light, emotion, and the kinds of details that speak louder than words. His work is grounded in the natural beauty of the environments he shoots in, often taking full advantage of the dramatic desert light or the coastal glow of a California sunset. The result: imagery that feels cinematic, yet personal. Timeless, but never stiff.
Clients consistently describe Craig as calming, intuitive, and deeply thoughtful - a professional who brings out the best in everyone around him. It’s no surprise he was recently named Arizona’s Best Wedding Photographer, a recognition that speaks to both his artistry and his reputation in the industry.
For Craig Peterman, documenting a wedding is not about staging perfection. It’s about honoring the truth of a couple’s story and telling it beautifully. And that’s exactly what he does ... frame by frame.
