Craig Paulson Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

I’m Craig Paulson, an Australian born wedding photographer living in NY. I learned my trade in London and Paris from some of the industry’s best photographers. Following in their footsteps, I began my career shooting fashion, celebrity and advertising but it wasn't until I started shooting weddings that I found my calling. You have to be able to think fast, use all types of light and be at the top of your game the whole time - no studio luxuries of a reshoot.

Shooting since 2000, with over 600 weddings photographed, I have fine-tuned my craft. I can deal with any situation professionally and calmly. Rain, wind, hail, snow, heat, cold and family dramas, I have seen them all. I’ve been shooting pictures for 20 years and I’m looking forward to the next 20.

Becky and Chris’s Connecticut Wedding – July 10, 2010

Friday, September 3, 2010 Posted in jean, wedding

I love this couple.  Everything about their wedding was completely unique and personal, from the shoes that the Bride’s brother-in-law made (that’s right he made the shoes!) to the hand-panted place cards and even the location was very personal to the groom as it was where he went to high school.  And this was such a fun group of people.  I was taking pictures of the bridal party when suddenly the bridesmaids started tossing their bouquets to the groomsmen and then all of a sudden the groomsmen started tossing the Bride in the air!  It was a wonderful, funny, chaotic moment, and I’m so glad I was there to capture it all.

Lindsay & Arthur’s Maine Wedding – July 10, 2010

Thursday, September 2, 2010 Posted in craig, tanya, wedding

I love how spunky this bride is.  Her energy is contagious and that dress was the perfect accessory to her outsized exuberance.  Lindsey and Arthur were married in Maine and although the weather was a bit foggy, they were right next to a golf course which served as a great spot for all the pictures.  Huge green space plus spunky bride and groom equals lots of really fun pictures.

Jo and Chris’s London Wedding

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Posted in craig, wedding

This wedding was particularly special to Craig as Jo is Pip’s (Craig’s wife) cousin.  Jo and Chris were married in the north of London with their reception right in the heart of the city and there are many “typically English” elements like the duo of red phone booths, the knotty old trees where they did their couples portraits and that spectacular car.  They really made the event their own: Jo is a teacher at the school where they were married; a family of singers, music was an integral part of the whole event.  Keep your eye out for Gracie, Craig’s daughter as she made a special appearance as a flower girl.

Jessica and Kyle’s Central Park Wedding – June 26, 2010

Friday, August 20, 2010 Posted in craig, tanya, wedding

Normally on our blog we try to feature pictures from all aspects of a wedding but today we are really going to showcase this couple’s portraits as it’s one of the most fun sets of photos I have ever seen.  Jessica and Kyle were married at the Boathouse in Central Park and they went out after the reception to do portraits around the park.  Since the party was over, they didn’t have to worry about their fancy clothes getting dirty so they decided to walk in to Bethesda Fountain for some shots.  Yup, that’s right, they got in the fountain!  What a great couple and what a wonderful memory to have of their wedding day.

Hina and Nilam’s Kansas City Wedding – June 19, 2010

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Posted in craig, tanya, wedding

Not much needs to be said about this wedding as the pictures speak for themselves.  The texture, the color and the details are so exquisite that no words could really ever describe them.  Hina and Nilam, whose courthouse wedding Craig photographed earlier this year, had a three day wedding in Hina’s home town of Kansas City and it truly was a grand celebration, complete with a Mehendi ceremony and Sangeet.  They managed to meld their traditional roots with their modern tastes for a spectacular event.
