Your Wedding Deserves the Best - And That’s Exactly What I Deliver

Hi, I’m JC Crafford. Thank you for considering me as your wedding photographer.

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event - an extraordinary day filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. Long after the flowers have wilted and the music has faded, your photographs will be the lasting memories you cherish forever. This is why choosing the right wedding photographer isn’t just a decision - it’s an investment in preserving the essence of your love story.

With over 800 weddings captured, I understand the immense trust my clients place in me. Every wedding I photograph is an honor, and I treat each one with the care, dedication, and artistry it deserves.

Why I Charge R25 000 - And Why It’s Worth Every Cent

When I photographed my first wedding in 2009, I knew instantly: this was what I was born to do. 15 years later, my passion has only grown. Every wedding is a new love story, a unique experience, and an incredible honor to capture.

For me, this isn’t just a job - it’s a calling. I never have a “bad day at the office” because wedding photography is my greatest passion. I love the adrenaline rush of the day, the fleeting moments, the raw emotions, and the magic that unfolds in front of my lens. And that excitement translates into the images I create for you.

When you invest R25 000 in your wedding photography, you’re not just paying for photos - you’re investing in a once-in-a-lifetime experience, captured by someone who is just as excited about your day as you are. Someone who knows exactly how to preserve your memories in the most breathtaking way possible.

Why I’m the Right Photographer for You

I work exclusively with couples who want the absolute best in wedding photography. If you value stunning, timeless imagery and impeccable attention to detail, then we’re a perfect match.

1. A Personalized, Exclusive Experience

From our first conversation to the final delivery of your wedding album, I am personally involved in every step. I don’t outsource my work—I answer your emails, I take your calls, I photograph your wedding myself, and I meticulously edit every image to perfection. Your wedding is too important to entrust to an assistant or editor who wasn’t there to witness the magic of your day.

2. Experience & Passion That Work for You

Over the years, I’ve learned that wedding photography is about so much more than just taking pictures - it’s about capturing the emotions, the energy, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments that make your day unforgettable. With years of wedding photography experience, I know exactly how to anticipate those fleeting, meaningful moments that others might miss.

When you choose me as your wedding photographer, you’re not just hiring someone with a camera - you’re investing in expertise, dedication, and a deep passion for telling love stories in the most breathtaking way possible.

"Photography isn’t just about pictures; it’s about preserving the love, laughter, and magic of your day - forever."

3. Complete, Start-to-Finish Coverage

A wedding isn’t just a ceremony - it’s a full-day experience. That’s why I provide 10 hours of coverage, from the quiet anticipation of the morning preparations to the joy of the dance floor celebrations. Every emotion, every fleeting glance, every unscripted moment - I capture it all.

4. One Photographer - Me, From Start to Finish

I will be your sole wedding photographer. I do everything myself because I want to ensure that every moment is captured with the same passion and attention to detail that you expect.

I don’t rely on a second photographer because they may not share the same experience, dedication, and artistic vision as I do. There are moments that can never be repeated, and I refuse to take the risk of missing even one due to inexperience or lack of passion.

5. The Best Equipment & Professional Assistance

Great photography isn’t just about the photographer; it’s also about having the best tools for the job. I bring top-of-the-line cameras, lenses, and professional lighting equipment to ensure every shot is flawless.

I also bring a dedicated assistant—not to take photos, but to ensure I can focus entirely on you. They handle lighting adjustments, equipment changes, and all the behind-the-scenes details, allowing me to capture every perfect moment without interruption.

6. Uncompromising Quality in Editing

Exceptional wedding photography doesn’t end when the last dance is over—it continues in the editing room, where each image is carefully refined to perfection. True artistry takes time, and that’s why I limit myself to only two weddings per month.

Many photographers shoot four or five weddings a month just to stay afloat, leaving little time for the careful, personalized editing your photos deserve. I refuse to rush the process. When I edit your wedding photos, I dedicate the time and meticulous attention needed to create stunning, timeless images - because your memories deserve nothing less.

And unlike many studios that take months to deliver, you’ll receive your beautifully edited wedding photos within two weeks.

7. Timeless Keepsakes - Beyond Just Digital Files

While we live in a digital world, I believe your wedding photos deserve more than just sitting on a hard drive. That’s why I provide a stunning 40x30 cm handcrafted wedding album, a true heirloom to treasure for generations.

You’ll also receive a professionally curated digital slideshow with short video clips, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

8. Secure, Long-Term Storage

Your memories are priceless, and I ensure they are protected. Your wedding photos will be securely backed up for one year in the cloud, giving you peace of mind.

Let’s Talk

Choosing a wedding photographer is a deeply personal decision. You need someone who understands your vision, someone you connect with. That’s why I encourage all my clients to meet me -whether in person or via video call - before making their final decision.

"You’re not just choosing a photographer -you’re investing in memories that will last a lifetime."

If you’ve read this far, chances are, we’re the right fit. You care about your wedding photography, and so do I.

Let’s create something extraordinary together.
