If Excellence had a homepage it would read something like this:
Craig & Jo are indeed consummate professionals. Years of experience really showed in their clockwork precision or our da. Nothing was too much and always delivered with the most beaming of smilies.
“From the first click to the final cut” Craig was there holding our hands and in no small way they both helped make the day something we wont soon forget.
You as reader can be rested in the knowledge that your day will be caught, captured and presented in a way that you thought only imaginable in your wildest dreams.

Hi Craig and Jo
I’m going away tomorrow for 2 weeks but before I left Just wanted to tell you how amazing you are !!!! Last night I had the pleasure of seeing James and Lisa s wedding album.
WOW !!!!!
I was so excited to turn each page because they were all so different and unique. You really captured the whole day beautifully.
James and Lisa are to say the least over the moon with the album and as we have told you before she always wanted the best photographer for her wedding and she sure got that and more.
Thank you again.
Watch out next time you see me at Coles Craig cause your usual kiss is going to come with a huge hug as well.

Thanks again guys and we are definatly keeping you in mind for when we have babies.

Dear Craig & Jo,
I hope you had a great Xmas and New Year – I’m sure you’re busy already with lots of weddings and other bits and pieces!
I just wanted to let you know what a special gift our wedding album is – it is so precious to us and we have had so much fun showing family and friends. You captured everything we had hoped for and more and on the day you were both totally professional, friendly and so helpful to Pat and I and our families.
It’s a huge choice choosing a wedding photographer and I am so glad we found you – I would recommend you to anyone.
Thanks again for giving us such great memories of our special day,
Kind regards,
Pat & Fiona (April 4 2009)
Craig,
My Dad died in February this year and it has been just so hard on us all as you can imagine. But I just wanted you to know that what little we have left has in a way been a tremendous gift from you. The wedding photos and the dvd slideshow you created have captured so many moments that I am so greatful for and I think you need to know how much that will mean to me forever.
You are an angel to me.
Thank you.
Hi Craig,
Thank you for a memorable day and for capturing the most precious moments of our first hours as husband and wife. Your photos are amazing and it will be hard to choose between our favourites as they are all fantastic. Not only where the photos spectacular but on the day you made us all very comfortable and kept it entertaining and enjoyable for the entire bridal party.
Living in Adelaide, it was hard to organise this wedding and to choose a photographer. However, once we saw your work on your website and meeting you in person we knew immediately that we had our photographer and never bothered to look anywhere else.
Thanks for sharing this special day with us, it will never be forgotten.
Best Wishes
Dave & Liz Cavallaro

Hi Craig,
Anthony and I would like to thank you for the beautiful job you did with our wedding photos. We knew from the moment we saw your work on the web site that you had done a beautiful job and gone well beyond our expectations. Your planning allowed us to enjoy the day without concerning ourselves with the job you were doing. You caught every important moment of the day while remaining completely unobtrusive.
Your love for your work is shown in your attention to detail and your enthusiasm for what you do.
We could not have asked for better, we were both extremely happy with you and your assistant leading up to and on our wedding day you both made it very easy and comfortable for us all.
We both will recommend you to anyone who is looking for a photographer in the future with the highest regard possible.
Kindest Regards
Sarah & Anthony
Craig & Jo,
Just wanted to say thanks again for everything. The album and dvd show were perfect, you couldn’t have reflected our day better.
You guys did a simply awesome job and we are very happy we chose you for our day because I’d hate to think that we might have missed out on what you have produced. We’re glad you take such pride in your work and produce the quality that you advertise.
Unbelievable!
All the very best to you and your family and who knows we might see you at someone else’s wedding one day.
Bec & Bruce.

The idea of taking pre-wedding photos in overseas didn’t come up until D confirmed that he would be going to Melbourne with me together to attend my best friend J’s wedding. It does mean a lot to me if I could have my pre-wedding photos taken there as I’ve spent almost half of the time in my life so far in Melbourne.In searching for a photographer in Melbourne, I’ve relied on the Australian Institute of Professional Photography website, which contains a database of 800 qualified, professional photographers in Australia. You can find photographers who are located in a particular region and photographers who specialize in different categories (e.g. wedding, portraits, commercial). You can also view the awards that the photographers have won. There are also links to the photographers’ individual homepages. (See http://www.aipp.com.au/)
After short listing a number of photographers, I emailed them for individual quotations. By chance and by luck, we’ve found Craig’s (Photography by Design) package to be the most competitive and most important is, we really love his style! So without much hesitation, we quickly got my best friend J to put a deposit and secure 13 Dec for our photo shooting session!

Craig and Jo, I just wanted to send a quick hello your way! Thanks for your text message last night about the pictures on the weekly blog. We rushed home right away and got on the Internet and were immediately impressed with what we saw! Thank you! We can’t wait to see more!
We also wanted to thank you again for sharing our day with us. We want you to know how much fun we had with you and Karen (and we wish you could have been there too, Jo!). We took my family to the airport this morning (so sad!), and I have been writing emails to friends this afternoon telling them that we were grinning from ear to ear all day on Saturday! That’s not because you were instructing us to smile, Craig, but because we truly had a blast with you.Francis has not been able to stop talking about how impressed he was with you, and how happy he is that we found you to help capture our day…and I could not agree more with him. Thank you for being such an outstanding photographer…everyone felt completely comfortable and at ease with you, you were extremely professional and hard-working, and it is obvious you love what you do!We really look forward to seeing the pictures, and thank you again for the sneak-peek! Have a terrific weekend!
Very sincerely, Stacey and Francis

Hi Jo & Craig, Firstly we would like to give you a BIG THANK YOU for all your assistance in producing such wonderful photos for us!! The framed photos are absolutely fantastic (and are already up on the wall) and we are very excited with the final results. We can’t wait to see the reaction of those who we have gifted photos to, as we are sure they are going to be as blown away as we have been. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you both and we have no hesitation in recommending your services to any and all we talk to.

“Dear Craig and Jo,Where do we start? Thankyou so much for making our day such an incredible, fun, glamorous, and exciting day. You made us laugh all the way through, and everyone commented on how friendly and switched on you are. Thank you for putting in 110% to ensure you took the absolute best shots, and I’m sure the album will be a work of art. Your creative nature and eye for detail made this such an enjoyable experience – it was kind of sad to wave you goodbye at the end of the day! Please pass on our thanks to Nicole also as she was truly a joy to have share the day with also. John and I look forward to catching up upon our return from overseas. Take care and thanks once again – Helen and John”

“We would just like to send a little thank you note for all your efforts pre, during and post our wedding. Right from the beginning you were friendly, outgoing and very helpful. You worked very easily with us to give us the memories we wanted – nothing was too much trouble and it seemed effortless. On our actual wedding day, you managed to capture a whole range of exceptional shots and we found your style to be very natural. We wanted to have a really enjoyable and relaxed day and you certainly contributed to this. Looking over our photos, we can’t help but be impressed. If we can refer anyone to you it would be our pleasure. Thanks for making this day such a memorable one for us.”
