Craig was amazing to work with! He listens and is so professional. Craigs cinematography is so talented and he takes into account his clients needs and wants. It has been a pleasure working with him in the past with our company, and from talking to brides, Craig really brings their weddings to life!

Craig was so amazing to work with from the start! From the moment I saw some of his other films, I just knew he had to be the videographer we hired for our intimate ceremony on the Oregon coast in Cannon Beach. I loved how emotive his films were and I knew that if I was crying while watching complete strangers' films, that I would definitely have an equally, if not more, emotional reaction to our own film made by him! (It was definitely more emotional and I still tear up watching it 4 months later! hehe) Craig was so responsive when I had questions leading up to the day of and I really appreciated

Reflecting on the memories of my wedding I could not have asked for a more professional and talented videographer. Craig made our special day larger than life. even more beautiful I can look back on the video and feel the same love I did the day of.

What a joy it was to work with Watertown Films! Craig put us at ease with his personable demeanor, attentive ear, and unimposing confidence while working behind the scenes. A talented cinematographer, Craig not only captured the details of our wedding day; he's an experienced producer who understands storyline, weaving key figures and background history into the narrative, resulting in one of the most personal and touching films my husband and I could ask for. This is a treasure to be revisited throughout the decades and shared with our children and family! Watertown Films, thank you from the bottom

When planning my own wedding, I had the fortune of receiving good advice from several friends and family members who had gone before me. Every person who didn't get a video told me that was their number one regret. After receiving my video from Craig a few days ago, I can see why. I am SO happy to have this beautiful piece of film that I will treasure for the rest of my life. In about 5 minutes, Craig caught all the important moments- vows, first look, cake cutting, speeches, walking down the aisle, first dances, getting ready...the list goes on...edited it beautifully and put it to the most perfect

As a wedding photographer, I work alongside videographers at the majority of my weddings. Craig is by far one of my favorites to work with! He is not only professional, courteous, and talented, but is always going above and beyond for our couples. Craig is a true team player and serves his clients and vendor teams well. Highly recommend!
